Obadia 1
1 Ny fahitan’ i Obadia. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo ny amin’ i Edoma: Nahare filazana avy tamin’ i Jehovah izahay, Ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin’ ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mitsangàna, aoka isika hitsangana hanafika azy!
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 Indro, hataoko tsinontsinona eo amin’ ny firenena ianao, Eny, ho fanazimbazimba indrindra ianao.
Behold, I make thee small among the nations: thou shalt be greatly despised.
3 Ny avonavon’ ny fonao no namitaka anao, Ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, Any amin’ ny fonenana avo, Sady manao anakampo hoe: Iza no hampivarina ahy ho eny an-tany?
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 Na dia miakatra tahaka ny voromahery aza ianao Ka mametraka ny akaninao eny amin’ ny kintana, Dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.
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 Raha, tahìny misy mpangalatra, na jiolahy alina, tonga ao aminao, (Indrisy, fongotra ianao!) Moa tsy izay hahafa-po azy ihany va no hangalariny? Raha tahìny misy mpioty voaloboka tonga ao aminao, Moa tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina va izy?
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 Endrey ny fitady ny an’ i Esao! Endrey ny fikatsaka ny hareny miafina!
How are [the treasures] of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things laid open!
7 Ny olona rehetra izay vita fanekena taminao no nampandeha anao hatramin’ ny sisin-tany; Izay tsara fihavanana aminao no namitaka ka naharesy anao; Izay mihinana ny haninao no namela-pandrika ao ambaninao Tsy misy fahalalana ao aminy!
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 Moa tsy amin’ izany andro izany va, hoy Jehovah, no hamongorako ny olon-kendry ao Edoma, Sy ny manan-tsaina ao an-tendrombohitr’ i Esao?
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 Ary ho raiki-tahotra ny lehilahy maherinao, ry Temana, Mba haringana amin’ ny vonoana ho foana ny any an-tendrombohitr’ i Esao.
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 Noho ny fampahoriana an’ i Jakoba rahalahinao dia ho voasaron-kenatra ianao Ka ho fongotra mandrakizay.
Because of thy violence against thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 Tamin’ ilay andro namitsahanao teny am-pita, Tamin’ ny andro namaboan’ ny vahiny ny fananany, Sy nidiran’ ny hafa firenena teo amin’ ny vavahadiny, Ary nanaovany loka an’ i Jerosalema, Dia mba toy ny anankiray tamin’ ireny koa ianao.
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 Aza finaritra mijery ny andron’ ny rahalahinao amin’ ny andro ahitany loza izay tsy misy toa izany; Ary aza mifaly ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda amin’ ny andro andringanana azy; Ary aza manao teny miavonavona amin’ ny andro fahoriana
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 Aza miditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny oloko amin’ ny andro ahitany loza; Aza finaritra mijery ny fahantrany amin’ ny andro ahitany loza ianao, Ary aza maninji-tàna haka ny fananany amin’ ny andro ahitany loza
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 Aza mamitsaka eo amin’ ny sampanan-dalana hamono izay afa-nandositra ianao; Ary aza manolotra izay sisa aminy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.
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 Fa efa antomotra amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra ny andron’ i Jehovah; Toy ny nataonao no mba hatao aminao kosa; Eny, hitsingerina ho eo an-dohanao ny nataonao.
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 Fa toy ny nisotroanareo teo an-tendrombohitra masìna, Dia toy izany koa no hisotroan’ ny firenena rehetra mandrakariva, Eny, hisotro izy ka hitelina, Ary ho toy ny tsy ary izy.
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 Fa ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona dia hisy izay sisa afaka, Ary ho masìna izy; Ary ny taranak’ i Jakoba hahalasa ny fananany.
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy: and the house of Jacob shall again possess their inheritances.
18 Ny taranak’ i Jakoba ho afo, Ary ny taranak’ i Josefa ho lelafo, Fa ny taranak’ i Esao kosa ho vodivary, Ary harehitr’ ireny izy ka holevoniny; Ary tsy hisy sisa afaka ny taranak’ i Esao, Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
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 Ny any amin’ ny tany atsimo no hahalasa ny tendrombohitr’ i Esao; Ary ny any amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka no hahalasa ny Filistina; Hahalasa ny tanin’ ny Efraima sy ny tany Samaria izy; Ary Benjamina hahalasa an’ i Gileada.
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 Ary ny babo amin’ izao Zanak’ Isiraely maro be izao hahalasa ny Kananita hatrany Zarefata, Ary ny babo tany Jerosalema, izay any Sefarada, dia hahalasa ny tanàna any amin’ ny tany atsimo.
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 Ary hisy mpamonjy miakatra ho ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona Hitsara ny tendrombohitr’ i Esao; Ary ho an’ i Jehovah.
And deliverers shall go up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be the Lord's
