Obadia 1
1 Ty aroñaro’ i Obadià: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Talè amy Edome: Nahajanjiñe entañe boak’ amy Iehovà zahay, le fa nampihitrifeñe amo kilakila’ ondatio ty sorotà, nanao ty hoe: Miongaha, antao hitroatse hihotakotake.
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations. Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Inao te hafotsako ho kede amo fifeheañeo irehe; ho vata’e mavoeñe.
Behold, I have made thee small among the nations; thou art greatly despised.
3 Fa namañahy azo ty firengevohan’arofo’o, ihe mpimoneñe an-tseratseram-bato ao; an-kaboañe ey ty fimoneña’o ihe mitsakore ty hoe añ’arofo ao: Ia ty hanjotso ahy mb’an-tane mb’eo?
The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; — he that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Aa ndra t’ie mizonjoñe mb’añ’abo ey hirae’o am-bantio, naho ajado’o amo vasiañeo eñe ty akiba’o, mbe hazotsoko boak’ ey, hoe t’Iehovà.
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
5 Ie nivotraha’ ty mpampikametse, naho ty malaso an-kaleñe — akore ty fandrotsahañe anahareo— tsy ho nampikametse am-para’ t’ie nietsake hao? Aa naho nivotrak’ ama’o ty mpanontoñe valoboke, tsy ho nenga’e hao ty ho tsindroheñe?
If thieves had come to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen [till] they had had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings?
6 Akore ty fivolosañe i Esave, ty fikodebeañe o vara nakafi’eo.
How is Esau searched! his hidden things sought out!
7 Fa nanese azo pak’ añ’efe-tane eo o mpirimboñ’ ama’oo; nifañahie’ o nifampilongo ama’oo vaho nahagioke; fa nampipoke fandrik’ ambane’o ao o mpitrao-pikama ama’oo; (tsy ama’e ty hilala!)
All the men of thy confederacy have pushed thee to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, they have prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him.
8 Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà, tsy ho mongoreko Edome ao hao o mahihitseo naho am-bohi’ Esave ty faharendrehañe?
Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 Hiroreke o fanalolahi’oo ry Temane, amy te ho fonga haitoañe am-pizamanañe am-bohi’ i Esave eo ondatio.
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
10 Hañoloñe azo ty fisalarañe ty amy nampisoaña’o an-drahalahi’o Iakobey, vaho haitoañe zafe-zanake irehe.
Because of violence against thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 Ihe nijagarodoñe eo amy andro zay, amy andro nendese’ o ambahinio mb’eo o vara’eoy naho nizilike an-dalambei’e mb’eo o alik’ama’oo, vaho nanoe’ iereo tsatopiso t’Ierosalaime —ihe nimpiama’ iareo.
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 Ho nisoa t’ie tsy nisamba an-drahalahi’o amy andron-kekoheko’ey, tsy ho nirebeke amy andro naha-rotsake o ana’ Iehodaoy; mbore tsy nimete ty nisaontsie’o añ’ebotsebotse amy andron-kankàñey.
But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress.
13 Tsy nimete ty nimoaha’o an-dalambei’ ondatikoo amy andron-kekoheko’ iareoy; Eka, tsy ho nisambà’o ty fisotria’e amy andron-kankà’ iareoy, ndra nampipao-pitàñe amo fanaña’ iareoo amy andro nitarañen-doza’ iareoy.
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity, nor have looked, even thou, on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither shouldest thou have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Tsy nimete ty nijohaña’o am-pitsileañe eo hamonoa’o ze nipoliotse mb’eo; naho tsy ho nasese’o o sehanga’eo amy andron-kasotriañey.
and thou shouldest not have stood on the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape, nor have delivered up those remaining of him in the day of distress.
15 Fa mitotok’ amo kilakila’ ondatio ty andro’ Iehovà: hambañe amo sata’oo ty hanoeñe ama’o. habalik’ añ’ambone’o eo o fitoloña’oo
For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy recompence shall return upon thine own head.
16 Fa manahake ty ninoma’ areo amy vohiko miavakey, ty hinoma’ o ambahinio nainai’e; ie hinoñe naho higenoke, vaho hanahake te mbe lia’e tsy teo.
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 F’ie ambohi’ i Tsione ao ty nahapoliotse, ie ho miavake; vaho ho fanaña’ Iakobe o vara’ iareoo.
But upon mount Zion shall there be deliverance, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 Le ho afo ty anjomba’ Iakobe, naho lel’afo ty anjomba’ Iosefe, naho ho ahetse ty anjomba’ i Esave, le ho viañe’ iereo ty ao, hamorototo iareo, vaho tsy hengañe honka’e ty añ’anjomba’ i Esave ao; fa nitsara t’Iehovà.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble; and they shall kindle in them and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau: for Jehovah hath spoken [it].
19 Ho a o tatimoo ty vohi’ i Esave, naho i monto’ o nte-Pilisty ambane eio, ho fanaña’ iareo ty tete’ i Efraime, naho ty tonda’ i Somerone, vaho ho fanaña’ i Beniamine t’i Gilade.
And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowland the Philistines; yea, they shall possess the field of Ephraim and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead;
20 Ho fanaña’ o nirohizañe amy valobohò’ o nte-Israeleoy ty a o nte-Kenàneo, pak’e Tsakrefate añe; vaho ho fanaña’ o mpirohi’ Ierosalaime e Sefaradeo o rova atimoo.
and the captives of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] what belonged to the Canaanites, unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who [were] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 Homb’an-kaboa’ i Tsione mb’eo o mpandrombakeo hizaka ty vohi’ i Esave; vaho ho a Iehovà i fifeheañey.
And saviours shall come up on mount Zion, to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
