< Ọbadaya 1 >
1 Ọhụ nke Ọbadaya hụrụ. Otu a ka Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu banyere Edọm. Anyị anụla ozi si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị, e zipụla onyeozi ka ọ gaa mba niile dị iche iche zie ha ozi, sị, “Bilikwanụ ka anyị gaa buo agha megide ya.”
The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent an envoy to the nations: “Arise, and let us together rise up in battle against him.”
2 “Lee, aga m eme ka ị dị nta nʼetiti mba dị iche iche; ị ga-abụ ihe a na-elelị anya nke ukwuu.
Behold, I have made you little among the nations. You are greatly contemptible.
3 Nganga nke obi gị eduhiela gị, gị onye bi na mgbawa niile nke nkume dị elu, onye ebe obibi ya dị nʼebe dị oke elu. Gị onye na-ekwu nʼime obi ya, ‘Onye ga-akpụdata m nʼala?’
The arrogance of your heart has lifted you up, living in the clefts of the rocks, exalting your throne. You say in your heart, “Who will pull me down to the ground?”
4 A sịkwarị na i felie elu dịka ugo, ọ bụrụkwa na ị kpaa akwụ gị nʼetiti kpakpando, aga m esite nʼebe ahụ kpụdata gị nʼala.” Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri.
Though you have been lifted high like an eagle, and though you have placed your nest among the stars, from there I will pull you down, says the Lord.
5 “Ọ bụrụ na ndị ohi abịakwute gị, e, ọ bụrụ na ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe abịakwute gị nʼetiti abalị, lee, ụdị mbibi na-echere ịdakwasị gị! Ọ bụghị naanị ihe ha chọrọ ka ha ga-ezuru? Ọ bụrụ na ndị na-aghọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abịakwute gị, ọ bụ na ha agaghị ahapụrụ gị mkpụrụ ole na ole?
If thieves had approached you, if robbers by night, how would you have remained unnoticed? Would they not have stolen all that they wanted? If the grape-pickers had approached you, would they not have left you at least a cluster?
6 Ma lee ka e si nyochapụtachaa ebe niile Ịsọ debere akụ ya, lekwaa ka e si chịkọrọ akụ ya niile bụ nke zoro ezo!
In what way have they been examining Esau? They investigated his secrets.
7 Ndị enyi gị niile aghọgbuola gị, nwee ike imegide gị, ndị gị na ha na-adị na mma achụrụla gị ruo nʼoke ala; ndị gị na ha na-erikọ nri gị ga-esiri gị ọnya igbudu, ma ị gaghị achọpụta ya.
They have sent you out all the way to the limit. All the men of your alliance have deceived you. Your men of peace have prevailed against you. Those who eat with you will place snares under you. There is no foresight in him.
8 “Nʼụbọchị ahụ,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwubiri ya, “ọ bụ na mụ agaghị ala ndị oke amamihe niile nọ nʼEdọm nʼiyi, bụ ndị nwere mmụọ nghọta nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ?
Shall I not, in that day, says the Lord, wipe away understanding from Idumea and foresight from the mount of Esau?
9 Ndị gị bụ dike nʼagha, o Teman, ka ụjọ ga-eri. Onye ọbụlakwa nọ nʼugwu Ịsọ niile, ka a ga-egbuda nʼagha.
And your strong from the Meridian will be afraid, so that man may perish from the mount of Esau.
10 Nʼihi na i gbuola ma mesokwa nwanne gị bụ Jekọb ihe ike. Ihere ga-ekpuchi gị; a ga-alakwa gị nʼiyi ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Because of the execution, and because of the iniquity against your brother Jacob, confusion will cover you, and you will pass away into eternity.
11 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, ị nọọrọ onwe gị, na-ele ndị ọbịa ka ha na-akwakọrọcha akụnụba ya, sitekwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ya gafee fee nza iji kerie Jerusalem. Ị dịkwa ka otu onye nʼime ha.
In the day when you stood against him, when strangers seized his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and they cast lots over Jerusalem: you also were just like one of them.
12 Ma ị garaghị eleda nwanne gị anya nʼụbọchị nsogbu ya, ị garaghị aṅụ ndị Juda nʼụbọchị ahụ e bibiri ha. Ị garaghị anyara ha isi nʼụbọchị ahụ ha nọ na nsogbu.
But you shall not show disdain for the day of your brother in the day of his sojourn. And you shall not rejoice over the sons of Judah in the day of their perdition. And you shall not magnify your mouth in the day of anguish.
13 I kwesighị isite nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ndị m zọọ ije nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, o zighị ezi na i ga-enwe obi aṅụrị nʼoge ihe ọjọọ bịakwasịrị ha, nʼụbọchị ha nọ na nsogbu, maọbụ jiri aka ike pụnara ha akụ ha nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
And neither shall you enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin. And neither shall you also show disdain for his troubles in the day of his desolation. And you shall not send out against his army in the day of his desolation.
14 I kwesighị ịnọchi na ngalaba ụzọ igbu ndị na-agbapụ ọsọ ndụ, maọbụ were ndị ha fọdụrụ ndụ nyefee ha nʼaka ndị iro ha, nʼụbọchị nsogbu ha.
Neither shall you stand at the exits to execute those who will flee. And you shall not enclose their remnant in the day of tribulation.
15 “Ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị dị nso nye mba niile. Dịka i si mee ndị ọzọ, otu ahụ ka a ga-eme gị; ihe i metara ga-adị gị nʼisi.
For the day of the Lord is near, over all nations. Just as you have done, so will it be done to you. He will turn back your retribution on your own head.
16 Dịka i si site nʼugwu nsọ m ṅụọ ihe ọṅụṅụ otu a ka mba niile gbara gị gburugburu ga-esi ṅụọ ma na-adagharị. Ha ga-aṅụ, ṅụọ, ma ọ gaghị adị ha ka o nwere ihe ha na-aṅụ.
For in the manner that you drank on my holy mountain, so shall all nations drink continually. And they will drink, and they will absorb, and they will be as if they were not.
17 Ma nʼugwu Zayọn ndị gbara ọsọ ndụ ga-afọdụ, ọ ga-adị nsọ, ụlọ Jekọb ga-enwetakwa ihe nketa ha ọzọ.
And on mount Zion there will be salvation, and it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will possess those who had possessed them.
18 Ụlọ Jekọb ga-abụ ọkụ, ụlọ Josef ga-abụkwa ire ọkụ: ma ụlọ Ịsọ ga-aghọkwa ukwu ọka. Ha ga-esunyekwa ha ọkụ ma rechapụ ya. Ọ dịkwaghị ndị ga-afọdụ ndụ site nʼụlọ Ịsọ.” Onyenwe anyị ekwuola ya.
And the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble. And they will be set on fire among them, and they will devour them. And there will be no remnant of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ndị bi na Negev ga-ebichi nʼugwu ugwu Ịsọ, ndị si na Shefela ga-enwekọta ala ndị Filistia. Ha ga-anọchi ala ubi niile nke ndị Ifrem na nke Sameria. Ndị Benjamin ga-enwetakwa Gilead.
And those who are towards the South, and who are in the camps of the Philistines, will inherit the mount of Esau. And they will possess the region of Ephraim, and the region of Samaria. And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Ụmụ Izrel gbara ọsọ ndụ gaa na Hala, ga-enweta, bido nʼala Fonisia ruo Zarefat. Ndị ahụ e mere ka ha si Jerusalem gaa biri na Sefarad, ga-enwetakwa obodo niile nke Negeb.
And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel, all the places of the Canaanites all the way to Sarepta, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Bosphoro, will possess the cities of the South.
21 Ndị nnapụta ga-agbago nʼugwu Zayọn maka ịchị ugwu Ịsọ niile. Mgbe ahụ alaeze niile ga-abụkwa nke Onyenwe anyị.
And the saviors will ascend to mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau. And the kingdom will be for the Lord.
