Abdiás 1
1 Abdiás látása. Így szól az Úr Isten Edomról: Hírt hallottunk az Úrtól! És hírnök küldetett a népekhez: keljetek fel és támadjunk reá haddal!
This is a message that Yahweh our God gave to me, Obadiah, about the Edom [people-group]. Yahweh our God has told me this about [the people of] Edom: “I, Yahweh, have sent a messenger to other nations, telling them to prepare to go and attack Edom.”
2 Ímé, kicsinynyé tettelek a népek között; felettébb útálatos vagy.
And Yahweh says this to the people of Edom: “I will soon cause you to become the weakest and most despised nation [on the earth].
3 Szíved kevélysége csalt meg téged, ki szikla-hasadékokban lakozol, kinek lakóhelye magasan van, a ki mondja az ő szívében: Ki vonhatna le engem a síkra?!
Your [capital city] is high in the rocky cliffs, and you are very proud; you think that you are safe from being attacked by your enemies [RHQ], but you [IDM] have deceived yourselves.
4 Ha oly magasra szállnál is, mint a sas, és ha a csillagok közé raknád is fészkedet: onnan is levonnálak, ezt mondja az Úr.
And I tell you that even if [you had wings and] could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars, I would bring you [crashing] down from there.
5 Ha tolvajok törnének reád, avagy éjjeli rablók, (hogy elpusztíttattál!), nem annyit lopnának-é, a mennyi elegendő?! Ha szőlőszedők jönnének reád, nem hagynának-é gerezdeket?!
When thieves break into someone’s house during the night, they certainly [RHQ] steal only the things that they want. And people who pick grapes always [RHQ] leave a few grapes on the vines. But your country will be completely destroyed!
6 Mennyire kifosztogatták Ézsaut; felkutatták rejtett kincseit!
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
7 A határig űznek ki összes frigytársaid; megcsalnak, levernek szövetségeseid; kenyeredet tőrül vetik alád. Nincsen benne okosság!
All (your allies/nations who promised to help you) will turn against you, and they will force you to leave your country/land. Those with whom you have peace now will trick/deceive you and defeat you. Those who eat meals with you now are planning to trap you, and [then they will say to you], ‘You are not [RHQ] as clever [as you thought you were]!’
8 Azon a napon, ezt mondja az Úr, nem vesztem-é ki a bölcseket Edomból, és az értelmet az Ézsau hegyéről?!
I, Yahweh, declare that at the time that I destroy Edom, I will punish the men who live in those cliffs who [thought that they] were wise.
9 És megrémülnek a te vitézeid, oh Témán! hogy kiirtassék mindenki az Ézsau hegyéről az öldöklés által.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 A Jákób öcséd ellen elkövetett erőszakért szégyen borul reád, és kivágatol mindörökre!
You acted cruel in a cruel way toward your relatives who are descendants of Jacob, [the twin brother of your ancestor Esau]. So now you will be disgraced forever; you will be completely destroyed.
11 A mikor vele szembeálltál; a mikor serege idegenek rabjává lett, és idegenek törtek be kapuján és Jeruzsálemre sorsot vetettek: olyan voltál te is, mint bármelyik közülök.
Foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and (cast lots/threw small stones that were marked) to decide what valuable things they would take away; but you were as bad as those foreigners, because you just stood there [and did not help the Israelis].
12 De ne gyönyörködjél öcsédnek napján, az ő szerencsétlenségének napján; és ne örvendj a Júda fiain az ő veszedelmök napján, és ne kérkedjél a szorongattatás napján.
You should not have (gloated/been happy) about the disaster that the Israelis were experiencing. You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined. You should not have made fun [of them] when they were suffering.
13 Ne törj be népem kapuján nyomorúságuk napján; ne gyönyörködjél te is a baján nyomorúsága napján; és ne nyúlj az ő jószágához nyomorúsága napján;
They are my people, so you should not have entered their [city] gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them. And you should not have taken away their [valuable] possessions.
14 A résre se állj fel menekülőit elveszíteni; és ne áruld el az ő megmaradottait a szorongattatás napján!
You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were [trying to] escape. You should not have [captured them and] put them into the hands of [their enemies] when they were experiencing those disasters.”
15 Mert közel van az Úrnak napja minden népek ellen. A mint cselekedtél, úgy cselekesznek veled; a mit te fizettél, visszaszáll fejedre.
“There will soon be the time when I, Yahweh, will judge [and punish] all the nations. And you [people of Edom] will experience the same [disasters] that you caused [others to experience]. The same evil things that you have done to others will happen to you.
16 Mert a mint ti ittatok szent hegyemen, úgy isznak szüntelen az összes népek; bizony isznak és hörpengetnek, és olyanok lesznek, mintha nem lettek volna.
[My people in Jerusalem have been punished] because I was very angry with them. [It is as though] [MET] they drank [a cup of very bitter liquid] on Zion, my sacred hill. But [I] will punish [MET] all the other nations even more severely, and cause them to disappear completely.
17 De a Sion hegyén szabadulás lészen, és szentté lészen az, és a Jákób háza birtokba veszi az ő örökségét.
But some [people in Jerusalem will escape], and Jerusalem will become a very holy/sacred place. Then the descendants of Jacob will [conquer and] possess again the land that truly belongs to them.
18 És a Jákób háza tűz lészen, és a József háza láng; az Ézsau háza pedig pozdorja; és meggyújtják és megemésztik őket, és nem marad meg senki Ézsau házából, mert az Úr szólott.
The descendants [MTY] of Jacob and his son Joseph will be like [MET] a fire, and the people [MTY] of Edom will be like [MET] stubble that will be completely burned in that fire. Not one person will remain alive. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
19 A déliek örökség szerint bírják az Ézsau hegyét, a síkon lakók pedig a Filiszteusokat. És örökség szerint bírják az Efraim mezőit és Samaria mezőit; Benjámin pedig a Gileádot.
The Israeli people [who live] in the southern desert are the ones who will capture Edom. And those [who live in] the western foothills will capture the Phoenicia [region] and the areas of Ephraim and Samaria. And people of the tribe of Benjamin will conquer the Gilead [region].
20 Izráel fiainak ez a száműzött serege azokat, a melyek a Kananeusoké, mind Sarfátig; a jeruzsálemi száműzöttek pedig, a kik Szefarádban vannak, elfoglalják majd a déli városokat.
Those who were (exiled in/forced to go to) [Babylon] will [return to their land] [and] capture the Phoenicia [region] as far north as Zarephath [on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea]. People of Jerusalem who were captured and taken to Sardis, [the capital city of the Lydia region], will capture the towns in the southern desert.
21 És a Sion hegyére szabadítók mennek fel, hogy megítéljék az Ézsau hegyét; és az Úré lesz a királyság.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
