Obadiah 1

1 Pa inge kas in palu lal Obadiah — ma LEUM GOD Fulatlana El fahk ke acn Edom. LEUM GOD El supwala mwet roso lal nu sin mutunfacl uh Ac kut lohng kas lal: “Akola! Kut som mweun acn Edom!”

The vision of Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.

2 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin Edom, “Nga fah oru tuh kom in munas inmasrlon mutunfacl uh. Mwet nukewa ac fah kwase kom.

Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding contemptible.

3 Inse fulat lom kiapwekomla. Siti fulat sum kalkalyak ke eot ku. Acn in muta lom oan yen fulat fineol uh, Ouinge kom nunku sum sifacna, ‘Su ac ku in amakinyuwi nu ten?’

The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in thy heart: Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Kom finne oakiya acn sum in oan fin acn fulat Oana ahng lun eagle uh, Ac lumweyuk mu oan inmasrlon itu uh, Nga ac fah amakinkomi nu ten.

Though thou be exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars: thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.

5 “Pacl se mwet pisrapasr uh tuku ke fong, Eltal eis na ma eltal lungse mukena. Pacl se mwet uh kosrani grape uh, Elos ac filiya kutu in oanna. A funu mwet lokoalok lowos uh, elos ac sikikowosla nufon!

If thieves had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have left thee at the least a cluster?

6 Kowos fwil natul Esau, ma saok lowos ayukla suwos.

How have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden things?

7 Mwet ma asruoki nu suwos, elos kiapwekowosla, Elos liskowosla liki facl suwos. Elos misla yuruwos meet, a inge elos kutangkowosla. Elos su wi kowos na mongo meet, inge elos oakiya mwe kwasrip nu suwos. Elos aksruksruk keiwos ac fahk, ‘Pia sruk usrnguk lalos an?’

They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom in him.

8 “Ke len se nga ac kalyei Edom, Nga ac kunausla mwet usrnguk lalos, Ac eisla lalmwetmet lalos.

Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

9 Mwet watwen in acn Teman ac arulana tuninfongla, Ac mwet mweun nukewa in Edom ac fah anwukla.

And thy valiant men of the south shall be afraid, that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.

10 “Mweyen kowos onela ac pisre Ma lun sou lowos, su tulik natul Jacob, Kowos ac fah kunausyukla ac aklusrongtenyeyuk nwe tok.

For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish for ever.

11 Kowos tu na ngetang ke len se ma Mwet lokoalok uh kunausla mutunpot lalos. Lupan koluk lowos an oana koluk lun mwetsac Su usla mwe kasrup in acn Jerusalem Ac kitalik inmasrlolos.

In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as one of them.

12 Tiana wo ke kowos tuh pwarkin Ongoiya ma sikyak nu sin mwet Judah wiowos. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh engan Ke len in musalla lalos. Tia pac wo ke kowos tuh isrunulos Ke elos muta in keok.

But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress.

13 Tiana wo ke kowos tuh utyak nu in siti lun mwet luk In pwarkin keok lalos, Ac in eisla mwe kasrup lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation.

14 Tiana wo ke kowos tuh ke inkanek sengelik In sruokolos su srike in kaing. Tiana wo ke kowos tuh eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet lokoalok lalos Ke len in ongoiya lalos.

Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation.

15 “Len se apkuranme ke nga, LEUM GOD, Fah nununku mutunfacl nukewa. Edom, ma kom orala tari Ac fah orek nu sum. Orekma sufal lom nukewa ac fah folokot pacna nu sum.

For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head.

16 Mwet luk elos numla sie cup in kalya arulana mwen Fineol mutal sik, Tusruktu, mutunfacl nukewa raunela ac fah nim pac Sie cup in kalya su mwen liki na. Elos fah numla nufon, na elos wanginla.

For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though they were not.

17 “Tusruktu kutu ac fah tia sruh Fineol Zion, Na acn we ac fah sie acn mutal. Ac fah ma lun mwet lal Jacob Acn se su nuna ma lalos meet.

And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.

18 Mwet lal Jacob ac mwet lal Joseph ac fah oana firir in e; Elos ac fah sukela mwet lal Esau Oana e uh esukla sroan mah. Wangin mwet in fwil natul Esau fah moul. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk.

And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shall be kindled in them, and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of Esau, for the Lord hath spoken it.

19 “Mwet in acn eir in Judah fah muta fin acn Edom. Elos su muta ke eol srisrik layen nu roto, fah sruokya acn Philistia. Mwet Israel fah eis acn lun Ephraim ac Samaria. Mwet Benjamin fah eis acn Gilead.

And they that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Galaad.

20 Mwet epang in Israel su muta in sruoh elos fah orala sie un mwet mweun Su fah foloko ac sruokya acn Phoenicia, fahla nwe Zarephath su oan epang. Mwet sruoh lun Jerusalem su muta Sardis Fah sruokya siti srisrik layen eir in Judah.

And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, shall possess the cities of the south.

21 Tukun mwet Jerusalem elos kutangla acn inge nukewa Elos fah utyak mweuni acn Edom ac leumi acn we. Ac LEUM GOD El fah leum fin tokosrai sac nufon.”

And saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.
