< Obadjas 1 >
1 Obadijas parādīšana. Tā saka Tas Kungs Dievs par Edomu. Mēs esam vēsti dzirdējuši no Tā Kunga, un vēstnesis ir sūtīts starp pagāniem: ceļaties! Tad celsimies pret viņu karā.
The vision of 'Obadiah: Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning Edom, A rumor have we heard from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
2 Redzi, Es tevi esmu mazu darījis starp tiem pagāniem, tu esi ļoti nicināts.
Behold, I make thee small among the nations: thou shalt be greatly despised.
3 Tava sirds lielība tevi pievīlusi; tu dzīvo klints alās, savos augstos dzīvokļos, un saki savā sirdī: kas mani nometīs pie zemes?
The presumption of thy heart hath beguiled thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Jebšu tu celtos kā ērglis, un jebšu tu savu ligzdu taisītu starp zvaigznēm, taču Es tevi no turienes nometīšu, saka Tas Kungs.
Though thou wert to rise as high as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 Kad zagļi vai laupītāji pie tevis naktī būtu nākuši, (ak, kā tu esi izdeldēts!) vai tie nebūtu zaguši savu tiesu? Kad vīna lasītāji pie tevis būtu nākuši, vai tie kādas vīna stīgas nebūtu atlicinājuši?
How? are thieves come to thee? or night-prowling robbers? how destroyed art thou! would they not have stolen till they had enough? if grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings?
6 Kā Ēsava (mantas) ir izmeklētas un viņa apslēptās lietas izvaicātas!
How are [the treasures] of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things laid open!
7 Visi tavi biedri tevi izdzen no savām robežām ārā, tavi draugi tevi pieviļ un pārvar; kas tavu maizi ēd, tie tevi ievaino. Saprašanas pie viņa nav.
Up to the border have accompanied thee all the men of thy confederacy; beguiled, overcome thee have the men that were at peace with thee: [they that eat] thy bread have struck thee secretly a wound. There is no understanding in him.
8 Vai tas nenotiks tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es iznīcināšu tos gudros no Edoma un saprašanu no Ēsava kalniem?
Shall I not on that same day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 Tavi varenie, Tēman, baiļosies, lai ikviens no Ēsava kalniem top izdeldēts kaujā.
And thy mighty men, O Theman, shall be dismayed, in order that every one from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 Tā varas darba dēļ, ko tu savam brālim Jēkabam esi padarījis, kauns tevi apsegs, un tu tapsi izdeldēts mūžīgi.
Because of thy violence against thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 Tai dienā, kad tu viņam stāvēji pretī, tai dienā, kad naidnieki viņa spēku aizveda cietumā un svešinieki iegāja pa viņa vārtiem un meslus meta par Jeruzālemi, tad tu arīdzan biji kā viens no tiem.
On the day that thou stoodest on the other side, on the day that strangers carried away captive his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots over Jerusalem, also thou wast as any one of them.
12 Bet tev vairs ar prieku nebūs redzēt sava brāļa dienu, viņa nelaimes dienu, nedz līksmoties par Jūda bērniem viņu bēdu dienā, nedz lepoties ar savu muti bailības dienā.
But thou shouldst not have looked on [pleased] at the day of thy brother, on the day that he was delivered up to strangers; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction; nor should thou have spoken proudly on the day of distress.
13 Neej pa Manu ļaužu vārtiem viņu nelaimes dienā, nedz skaties uz viņu ļaunumu viņu posta dienā, nedz izstiep (rokas) pēc viņu mantām viņu bēdu dienā.
Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people on the day of their calamity; yea, thou too shouldst not have looked [pleased] on their affliction on the day of their calamity; nor have laid hands on their army on the day of their calamity;
14 Nestāvi uz ceļa jūtīm, viņu bēgļus izdeldēt, nedz nodod viņu atlikušos bēdu dienā.
Neither shouldst thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that did remain on the day of distress.
15 Jo Tā Kunga diena ir klāt pār visiem pagāniem. Tā kā tu esi darījis, tāpat tev darīs, tavi darbi atgriezīsies uz tavu galvu.
For near is the day of the Lord over all the nations: as thou hast done, shall it be done unto thee; thy deeds shall return upon thy own head.
16 Jo kā jūs esiet dzēruši (Manu dusmu kausu) uz Mana svētā kalna, tā visi pagāni dzers bez mitēšanās, it tiešām tie dzers un plītēs, un būs tā kā tie tur nebūtu bijuši.
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mount, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and they shall reel about, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 Bet uz Ciānas kalna būs izglābšana, un tas būs par svētumu, un tie no Jēkaba nama iemantos savas tiesas.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy: and the house of Jacob shall again possess their inheritances.
18 Un Jēkaba nams būs uguns, un Jāzepa nams liesma, un Ēsava nams būs par rugājiem, un tie pret tiem iedegsies un tos aprīs, tā ka Ēsava namam neviens neatliks, jo Tas Kungs to ir runājis.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau become stubble, and they shall set them on fire, and devour them; and there shall not be any one remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 Un tie no dienas vidus iemantos Ēsava kalnus, un kas ielejā dzīvo, iemantos Fīlistus, un tie iemantos Efraīma lauku un Samarijas lauku, un Benjamins Gileādu.
And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowlands, the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gil'ad.
20 Un tie aizvestie no Israēla bērnu kara spēka iemantos to, kas Kanaāniešiem piederēja līdz Sareptai, un tie aizvestie no Jeruzālemes, kas ir Sefaradā, iemantos tās pilsētas pret dienvidiem.
And the exiles of this host of the children of Israel that are [with] the Canaanites, as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 Un pestītāji celsies uz Ciānas kalna, tiesāt Ēsava kalnus, un valstība piederēs Tam Kungam.
And deliverers shall go up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be the Lord's
