< ओबदिया 1 >

1 ओबदियाले देखेका दर्शन । एदोमको विषयमा परमप्रभु परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ: “हामीले परमप्रभुबाट एउटा सन्देश सुनेका छौं, र जातिहरूका बिचमा एक जना राजदूतलाई यसो भनेर पठाइएको छ, ‘उठ! हामी युद्धको निम्ति त्यसको विरुद्धमा उठौं!’
The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 हेर्, म तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिका बिचमा सानो तुल्याउनेछु, तिमीहरू अति घृणित हुनेछौ ।
Behold, I have made thee small among the nations. Thou are greatly despised.
3 ए चट्टानका छेदहरूमा, आ-आफ्ना अग्ला घरहरूमा बस्‍नेहरू हो । आ-आफ्ना हृदयमा यसो भन्‍नेहरू “कसले मलाई तल जमिनमा खसाल्‍छ र?” तिमीहरूको हृदयको घमण्डले तिमीहरूलाई धोका दिएको छ ।
The pride of thy heart has deceived thee, O thou who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 तिमीहरू गरूडझैं उचाइमा उडे पनि र तिमीहरूको गुँड ताराहरूका बिचमा भए पनि, तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट म तल ल्याउनेछु, परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ ।
Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from there, says Jehovah.
5 तिमीहरूकहाँ चोरहरू आउँदा, रातमा डाँकुहरू आउँदा— तिमीहरूको कस्तो सर्वनाश होला!— के तिनीहरूले आफूलाई चाहिने जति मात्र चोरेर लाँदैनन् र? दाख बाटुल्‍नेहरू तिमीहरूकहाँ आए भने, तिनीहरूले अलिअलि सिलाहरू छोड्‍दैनन् र?
If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how thou are cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? If grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
6 तर एसाव कसरी लुटिएको छ, त्यसका लुकाइएका धनसम्पत्तिको खोजिनेछ ।
How are the things of Esau searched! How are his hidden treasures sought out!
7 तेरा मित्रराष्‍ट्रका सबै मानिसहरूले तँलाई सिमाना कटाउनेछन् । तँसँग मिलापमा भएका मानिसहरूले तँलाई धोका दिएका छन्, र तेरो विरूद्धमा प्रबल भएका छन् । तेरो रोटी खानेहरूले नै तेरोमुनि पासो थापेका छन् । उसमा कुनै सुझबुझ नै छैन ।
All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee. Those who eat thy bread lay a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him.
8 परमप्रभु भन्‍नुहुन्छ, “त्यो दिनमा के म एदोमबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई र एसावका पहाडबाट समझदारलाई नाश गर्नेछैनँ र?”
Shall I not in that day, says Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 ए तेमान, तेरा बलवान मानिसहरू निराश हुनेछन्, जसको कारणले एसावका पहाडबाट सबै मानिसहरू काटिएर सखाप हुनेछन् ।
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
10 तेरो भाइ याकूबमाथि गरिएको क्रूरताको कारणले, तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस्, र तँ सधैंको निम्ति नाश हुनेछस् ।
Shame shall cover thee for the violence done to thy brother Jacob, and thou shall be cut off forever.
11 तँ एक्‍लै खडा भएको दिनमा, अनजान मानिसहरूले त्यसको धन खोसेर लगेका र परदेशीहरू त्यसका मूल ढोकाहरूभित्र पसेका र यरूशलेमको निम्ति चिट्ठा हालेका दिनमा, तँ पनि तीमध्‍ये एकझैं थिइस् ।
In the day that thou stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou were as one of them.
12 तर आफ्नो भाइको दुर्भाग्यको दिनमा हर्षित नहो, र यहूदाका मानिसहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूमाथि आनन्दित नहो । तिनीहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा घमण्ड नगर् ।
But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 मेरा मानिसहरूको विपत्तिको दिनमा तिनीहरूका मूल ढोकाभित्र प्रवेश नगर् । तिनीहरूको आपदको दिनमा तिनीहरूको कष्‍टमाथि हर्षित नहो । तिनीहरूको विनाशको दिनमा तिनीहरूको धन-सम्पत्ति नलुट् ।
Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
14 त्यसका भगुवाहरूलाई काट्नलाई दोबाटोमा खडा नहो, र विपत्तिको दिनमा त्यसका बाँकी बचेकाहरूलाई नसुम्‍पी ।
And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his who escape, and deliver not up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15 किनकि सबै जातिहरूमाथि परमप्रभुको दिन नजिकै छ । तैंले जस्तो गरेको छस्, तँलाई त्यस्तै गरिनेछ । तेरा कामहरू तेरो आफ्‍नै थाप्‍लोमा फर्किनेछन् ।
For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations. As thou have done, it shall be done to thee. Thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.
16 किनकि जसरी तैंले मेरो पवित्र पर्वतमा पिएको छस्, त्‍यसरी नै सारा जातिहरूले त्यहाँ सधैं पिउनेछन् । तिनीहरूले पिउनेछन् र निल्‍नेछन् अनि तिनीहरू कहिल्यै अस्तित्वमा नभएझैं हुनेछन् ।
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually. Yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.
17 तर भाग्‍न सफल भएकाहरू सियोन पर्वतमा रहनेछन् र त्यो पवित्र हुनेछ । अनि याकूबको घरानाले तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना सम्पत्तिको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
But in mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 याकूबको घराना आगो हुनेछ, र योसेफको घराना ज्वाला हुनेछ, र एसावको घराना झिंजाहरू हुनेछ, र तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई जलाउनेछन् र भस्म पार्नेछन् । एसावको घरानामा कोही पनि बाँच्‍नेछैन, किनकि परमप्रभुले नै यसो भन्‍नुभएको छ ।”
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 burn among them, and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau, for Jehovah has spoken it.
19 नेगेवका मानिसहरूले एसावको डाँडामा अधिकार गर्नेछन् र शेपेलाका मानिसहरूले पलिश्‍तीहरूको देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । तिनीहरूले एफ्राइम र सामरियाका देशमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् । अनि बेन्यामीनले गिलादमा अधिकार गर्नेछ ।
And those of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and those of the lowland the Philistines. And they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 निर्वासनमा गएको इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको समुहले कनान देशदेखि सारपतसम्मका देश अधिकार गर्नेछ । सपारादमा भएका यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूले नेगेवका सहरहरूमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
And the captives of this host of the sons of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, shall possess even to Zarephath. And the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South.
21 उद्धार गर्नेहरू एसावको पहाडी देशमा शासन गर्नलाई सियोन पर्वतसम्म जानेछन्, र त्यो राज्य परमप्रभुको हुनेछ ।
And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
