U-Obhadiya 1
1 Umbono Ka-Obhadaya. Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo Wobukhosi nge-Edomi: Sesizwe ilizwi elivela kuThixo: Kuthunywe isithunywa ezizweni ukuba sithi, “Phakamani, asihambeni silwe laye impi”:
Ŋutega si Obadia kpɔ. 1 Ale Aƒetɔ Yehowa gblɔ tso Edom ŋutie nye esi: Míese gbe tso Yehowa gbɔ be, wodɔ dɔla aɖe be wòagblɔ na dukɔwo be, “Mitso, mina míaho aʋa ɖe Edom ŋu!”
2 “Khangela, ngizakwenza ube mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe; uzakweyiswa kakhulu.
“Edom, kpɔ ɖa, mawɔ wò nàzu sue le dukɔwo dome eye maɖi gbɔ̃ wò vevie.
3 Ukuzigqaja kwenhliziyo yakho sekukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezingoxweni zamadwala wakhe umuzi wakho eziqongweni, wena ozitshela uthi, ‘Ngubani ongangiwisela phansi enhlabathini na?’
Wò dzi ble wò, eye nèdana elabena èle agakpewo tome, eye nèle togbɛwo tame ke. Ègblɔ le wò dzi me be: ‘Ame kae ate ŋu atutum aƒu agame?’
4 Lanxa uqonga njengengqungqulu wakhe isidleke sakho phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngizakwethula khonale,” kutsho uThixo.
Ne èdzo yi dzi ʋĩi abe hɔ̃ ene eye nèwɔ atɔ ɖe ɣletiviwo dome hã la, matutu wò aƒu anyi tso afi ma.” Yehowae gblɔe.
5 “Nxa amasela efike kuwe, nxa abaphangi ebusuku, Awu, yeka ubukhulu bomonakalo okulindeleyo, kabayikuntshontsha kuphela lokho okwanele abakufunayo na? Nxa abavuni bamavini befike kuwe, kabangeke batshiye amalutshwana na?
“Ne fiafitɔwo va fi wò, eye adzodalawo va dze dziwò le zã me hefi wò nuwo ɖe, womagblẽ nanewo ɖi na wò oa? O, gbegblẽ gã ka wòanye anɔ lalawòm! Ne waintsetsefilawo hã va wò waingble me ɖe, ɖe womagblẽ ʋɛ aɖewo ɖi na wò o mahã?
6 Kodwa yeka ukuphangwa okuzakwenziwa u-Esawu, inotho yakhe efihliweyo izathunjwa!
Ke woalɔ Esau ya ƒiaƒiaƒia, woagblẽ eƒe kesinɔnu siwo wòdzra ɖo la katã dome.
7 Bonke abamanyane lawe bazakuxotshela emngceleni; abangane bakho bazakukhohlisa bakunqobe; labo abadla ukudla kwakho bazakuthiya ngomjibila, kodwa wena kawuyikuwubona.
Ame siwo le dziwò la, anya wò ɖe nu va se ɖe wò liƒowo dzi ke, xɔ̃wòwo able wò eye woaɖu dziwò. Ame siwo ɖua wò abolo la, atre mɔ na wò, ke mànyae be mɔ le afi ma o.
8 Ngalolosuku,” kutsho uThixo, “kangiyikuwabhubhisa yini amadoda ahlakaniphileyo ase-Edomi, amadoda aqedisisayo ezintabeni zako-Esawu na?
“Le ŋkeke ma dzi la, matsrɔ̃ nunyala siwo katã le Edom eye maɖe ame siwo si gɔmesese le la ɖa le Esau ƒe towo dzi.” Yehowae gblɔe.
9 Amabutho akho, wena Themani, azathuthumela, njalo bonke abasezintabeni zako-Esawu bazacakazelwa phansi ekubulaweni kwabanengi.
Asrafo kalẽtɔ gãtɔ kekeake le Teman hã azu vɔvɔ̃nɔtɔ eye ame sia ame si le Esau ƒe towo dzi la, atsi yi nu.
10 Ngenxa yodlakela kumfowenu uJakhobe, uzakwembeswa lihlazo; uzachithwa nini lanini.
Le esi nèsẽ ŋuta le nɔviwò Yakob ŋuti ta la, ŋukpe alé wò eye woatsrɔ̃ wò gbidii.
11 Ngosuku owema ngalo khatshana mhla izihambi zithumba inotho yakhe labezizweni bengena emasangweni akhe bephosa inkatho ngeJerusalema, wawunjengomunye wabo.
Ènɔ tsitre nɔ nu kpɔm esi amedzrowo va lɔ eƒe kesinɔnuwo eye dzronyigbadzitɔwo ge ɖe eƒe agbowo me hedzidze nu ɖe Yerusalem dzi. Wò hã èle abe wo dometɔ ɖeka ene.
12 Akumelanga weyise umfowenu ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwakhe, loba uthokoze ngabantu bakoJuda ngosuku lokubhujiswa kwabo, loba uklamase kangaka ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.
Gbe si gbe dzɔgbevɔ̃e dzɔ ɖe nɔviwòa dzi la, mele be wòazu ŋunyɔnu na wò o alo nàkpɔ dzidzɔ gbe si gbe wogbã Yuda gudugudu alo aƒo adegbe le gbe si gbe dzɔgbevɔ̃e va wo dzi ŋu o.
13 Akumelanga ungene ngamasango abantu bami ngosuku lomonakalo wabo, loba ubeyise osizini lwabo ngosuku lomonakalo wabo, loba uthumbe inotho yabo ngosuku lomonakalo wabo.
Migage ɖe nye amewo ƒe agbowo me le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o, migado vlo wo le woƒe gbegblẽ me, le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃eŋkeke la dzi o eye migaxɔ woƒe kesinɔnuwo le wo si le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o.
14 Akumelanga ume emahlukanandlela ukuba ubulale ababalekayo babo, loba unikele abaphephileyo babo ngosuku lokuhlupheka kwabo.
Migatsi tsitre ɖe mɔdzevewo nu be miawu woƒe aʋasilawo alo miatsɔ woƒe ame siwo susɔ la de asi le woƒe dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe o.
15 Usuku lukaThixo selusondele ezizweni zonke. Njengalokho okwenzileyo, yikho okuzakwenziwa kuwe; izenzo zakho zizaphendukela phezu kwekhanda lakho.
“Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke la tu aƒe na dukɔwo katã. Ale si miewɔ Israel la, nenema kee woawɔ miawo hãe. Miaƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo miewɔ la atrɔ ava miaƒe tawo dzi.
16 Njengokunatha elakwenzayo entabeni yami, ngokunjalo izizwe zonke zizanatha njalonjalo; zizanatha, zinathe kuze kube angathi kazizange zivele zibe khona.
Abe ale si mienoe le nye to kɔkɔe la dzi ene la, nenema ke dukɔ bubuwo hã anoe tegbee; woanoe, aganoe eye wòanɔ abe ɖe dukɔ mawo menɔ anyi kpɔ o ene.
17 Kodwa phezu kweNtaba iZiyoni kuzakuba lokusindiswa; kuzakuba ngcwele, lendlu kaJakhobe izazuza ilifa layo.
Ka ɖeɖe anɔ Zion to dzi eye wòanye kɔkɔeƒe. Yakob ƒe aƒe agaxɔ eƒe domenyinu.
18 Indlu kaJakhobe izakuba ngumlilo lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi; indlu ka-Esawu izakuba libibi, njalo bazayithungela ngomlilo ozayiqothula. Akuyikuba khona abasilayo endlini ka-Esawu.” UThixo usekhulumile.
Yakob ƒe aƒe anye dzo, Yosef ƒe aƒe anye dzo ƒe aɖe eye Esau anye gbe ƒuƒu. Woatɔ dzoe eye wòabi keŋkeŋ. Ame aɖeke matsi agbe le Esau ƒe aƒe me o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
19 Abantu abavela eNegebi bazathumba izintaba zako-Esawu, labantu abavela emawatheni ezintaba bazathumba ilizwe lamaFilistiya. Bazathumba amasimu ako-Efrayimi lawaseSamariya, loBhenjamini uzathumba iGiliyadi.
Azɔ dziehetɔwo atrɔ ava nɔ Esau ƒe towo dzi, ame siwo le Yuda ƒe balimenyigba dzi la axɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba le wo si eye Efraim kple Samaria azu wo tɔ. Ke Benyamin axɔ Gilead wòazu etɔ.
20 Lelibutho labako-Israyeli abathunjwayo abaseKhenani lizalithatha ilizwe kusiyafika eZarefathi; abathunjwa eJerusalema abaseSefaradi bazathatha amadolobho aseNegebi.
Israelvi siwo le aboyo me le Kanaan la axɔ anyigba va se ɖe Zarefat ke; Yerusalemtɔ siwo le aboyo me le Sefarat la ava xɔ du siwo le Negeb.
21 Abakhululi bazakhwela iNtaba iZiyoni ukuba babuse izintaba zako-Esawu. Njalo umbuso uzakuba ngokaThixo.
Xɔnametɔwo ava Zion to la dzi eye woaɖu Esau ƒe todziduwo dzi tso afi ma. Fiaɖuƒe sia anye Yehowa tɔ!
