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.
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 Redzi, Es tevi esmu mazu darījis starp tiem pagāniem, tu esi ļoti nicināts.
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 Tava sirds lielība tevi pievīlusi; tu dzīvo klints alās, savos augstos dzīvokļos, un saki savā sirdī: kas mani nometīs pie zemes?
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 Jebšu tu celtos kā ērglis, un jebšu tu savu ligzdu taisītu starp zvaigznēm, taču Es tevi no turienes nometīšu, saka Tas Kungs.
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 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?
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 Kā Ēsava (mantas) ir izmeklētas un viņa apslēptās lietas izvaicātas!
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
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.
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 Vai tas nenotiks tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, ka Es iznīcināšu tos gudros no Edoma un saprašanu no Ēsava kalniem?
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 Tavi varenie, Tēman, baiļosies, lai ikviens no Ēsava kalniem top izdeldēts kaujā.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 Tā varas darba dēļ, ko tu savam brālim Jēkabam esi padarījis, kauns tevi apsegs, un tu tapsi izdeldēts mūžīgi.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Nestāvi uz ceļa jūtīm, viņu bēgļus izdeldēt, nedz nodod viņu atlikušos bēdu dienā.
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 Jo Tā Kunga diena ir klāt pār visiem pagāniem. Tā kā tu esi darījis, tāpat tev darīs, tavi darbi atgriezīsies uz tavu galvu.
“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 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.
[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 Bet uz Ciānas kalna būs izglābšana, un tas būs par svētumu, un tie no Jēkaba nama iemantos savas tiesas.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Un pestītāji celsies uz Ciānas kalna, tiesāt Ēsava kalnus, un valstība piederēs Tam Kungam.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
