Obadaia 1

1 Ama'i Ra Anumzamo'a ava'nagna zampi Obadaina eri averi higeno Idomu vahete'ma fore'ma hania hazenke zamofo keteno, Idomu vahekura Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie huno ome huama hu'ne. Hagi keagama erino vu vahe Ra Anumzamo'a mago ne' hunenteno, amanage hunka ama mopafima nemaniza vahera ome zamasamige'za, Maka vahe'mo'za retrotra nehu'za, sondia nagazmia zamazeri tru hute'za Idomu vahera hara ome huzmanteho huno hunte'ne.

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 Ra Anumzamo'a Idomu vahekura amanage huno hu'ne. Ama mopafima nemaniza vahe amu'nompintira tamagrira tamazeri anteramisuge'za, vahe'mo'za tamagefenkami atregahaze.

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 Tamagrama tamavufga rama nehaza zamo reramavatga hu'ne. Na'ankure tamagra havemoke higeno, mesga hu'nea agonaramimpi nemanita amanage huta tamagra nentahize, Mago vahe'mo'a amaretira eme tazeri fenkami otregahie huta nehaze.

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 Hagi tamagra tumpamo onagamu hampompi hareno vano hiaza nehutma, ofuramima me'nea amu'nompi nona negize. Hianagi anantetira tamazeri fenkami atregahue hu'na Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na nehue.

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 Hagi kumazufa vahe'mo'zama kenage'ma musufama eme e'neriza mago'a zana netraze. Hagi waini hozafinti'ma grepi rgama taginaku'ma aza vahe'mo'za maka tagi vaganorazanki mago'a netraze.

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 Hianagi Iso (Idom) nagamotma tamagri feno zantamina maka eme agu'zaneru'za, marerisa feno zantamima fra'ma ki'nazana hake'za eri'za vugahaze.

Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.

7 Tamagritegama eme ante'za tamazama hu'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za, rukrahe hu'za ha' huneramante'za mopatamifintira ha'reramante'za tamahenati atregahaze. Tamagranema fru huta manisanune hu'zama kema huhagerafi'naza vahe'mo'za havige hute'za tamagrira tamazeri haviza hugahaze. Tamagrama antahima nezamiza ronetamimo'za, tamagrira tamazerinaku krifu anaginte gahazanagi tamagra anazana keta antahita osugahaze.

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 Hagi ana knafina magore hu'na knare antahi'zane vahera Idomu mopafina zamatre suge'za omanigahaze. Ana nehu'na Idomu mopafima me'nea agonaramimpima ama' antahi'zane vahetamima nemaniza vahera maka zamazeri haviza hugahue.

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 Temani kumate harfa sondia vahe'mo'za tusi koro hugahaze. Ana nehanage'za Idomu mopafima me'nea agona ramimpima nemaniza vahera zamahe hana hugahaze.

The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).

10 Na'ankure Jekopu naga nofira tamagri tamafuhe'za mani'nazanagi, tamagrama zamazeri havizama hu'naza agafare, tamagaze zamo refite neramante'na, Nagra tamagrira tamazeri haviza hanugeta tamagaze zampi manivava huta vugahaze.

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 Hagi Juda naga'mokizmi ha' vahe'mo'zama e'za, Jerusalemi kuma keginamofo kafaramima tapage hu'za zago fenozmima e'neri'za, Jerusalemi kuma'ma refko hu'za erinaku'ma satu zokago'ma neragazegeta tamagranena ha' vahe tro huta oti'neta zamaza osu'naze.

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 Tamagri tamafuhe'za Juda nagama kna zampima mani'nazageta anazankura antahi muse nehuta kiza zokago ke huzmante'naze. Ana nehutma Juda naga'ma eme zamazeri havizama nehazageta, osuga'za huta musena nehuta, hazenkema eme zami'za zamazeri havizama nehazage'za tusi'a knazampima mani nazageta, tamagra osuga'za huta tamimiza runafage nehuta rantamagi eri'naze.

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 Ana knazamo'ma Nagri vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hige'zama mani'nazageta, rankuma zamifi ufreta feno zamia aguza ruta eri'naze. Hazenke zamo'ma zamazeri havizantfama hige'zama mani'nazageta, kiza zokago ke hunezmanteta osugaza huta, tusi'a knazampima mani'nazageta feno zamia aguzaruta eri'naze.

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 Tamagra kantu hanare oti'neta Juda naga'ma koro'ma fre'za vaza nagara zamahe nefrita, ozamahe zamatrage'zama mani'naza nagara tusi knafi mani'nazanagi zamazerita ha' vahe zamazampi ante'naze.

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 Ama mopafima kokankokama mani'naza vahe'ma Ra Anumzamo'ma refko hune zamanteno, zamagrama hu'naza avu'ava zante'ma mizama zamitere hania knamo'a hago erava'o nehie. Tamagra vahe'ma huzmante'naza kna avu'ava zana tamagri huramantegahaze. Hu'neankita ana avu'ava zamofo knazama'a tamagra'a erigahaze.

“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 Ruotage'ma hu'nea agonanifinti'ma tima neaza huta nagri vahera zamahe'nagu, maka ama mopafima kokankokama nemaniza vahete'ene tamagrite'enena knaza atre'na tamahe fanene hanugeno tamagia omanegahie.

[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 Hianagi osi'a naga'ma hapinti'ma ozamahenaza naga'mo'za, Saioni Agonafi manisnageno, ete ana kumamo'a ruotage kuma megahie. Ana'ma hanige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za ete e'za mopa'zamia erisanti hare'za manigahaze.

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 Jekopu naga'mo'za tevemo kaninkani huno teaza nehanageno, Josefe naga'mo'za tevemo hagna hagna hiankna hu'za, Idomu vahera hagege hu'nea trazankna hu'nazanki'za tevemo traza te fanane hiaza hu'za Idomu vahera ozmatre maka zamahe hana hugahaze. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama nanekea huama nehue.

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 Hagi Nagri vahe'ma Negevi kazigama nemaniza vahe'mo'za vu'za, Idomu agona mopama me'neana omeri'za umanigahaze. Juda mopafima me'nea agona ramimofo asoparegama nemaniza vahe'mo'za, Filistia vahe'mokizmi agupo mopa erigahaze. Ana nehu'za Efraemi naga'mokizmi hoza mopane, Sameria vahe'mokizmi mopanena ete eri nafa'a nehanage'za, Benzameni naga'mo'za Gileati mopa ome eri'za manigahaze.

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 Hanki Israeli vahe'ma ru moparegama kina ome hu'za mani'naza vahe'ma ete mopa zamire'ma esanu'za, mopama erisna zana Fonesia vahe mopa atupareti agafa huteno, vuvava huno noti kaziga Zarefati mopare vanige'za eri'za manigahaze. Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'ma zamavare'za noti kazigama kinama ome huzmante'naza vahe'mo'za Negevi mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimpi emanigahaze.

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 Hanki ha'ma hugatere'naza vahe'mo'za Saioni agonare mareri'za mani'neza, Idomu mopafima me'nea agonaramina kegava hugahaze. Ana'ma hutesageno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a kinia manino ana mopa kegava hugahie.

The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
