< 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 saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: '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 make thee small among the nations; thou art 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 hath beguiled thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, thy habitation on high; that sayest in thy 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 make thy nest as high as the eagle, and though thou set it among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
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 art thou cut off! — would they not steal 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 is Esau searched out! How are his hidden places 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 conducted thee to the border; the men that were at peace with thee have beguiled thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread lay a snare under thee, in whom there is no discernment.
8 परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, “त्यो दिनमा के म एदोमबाट बुद्धिमान् मानिसहरूलाई र एसावका पहाडबाट समझदारलाई नाश गर्नेछैनँ र?”
Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and discernment 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 every one 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 ।
For the violence done to thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
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 didst stand aloof, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast 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 thou shouldest not have gazed 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; neither shouldest thou have spoken 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 ।
Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have gazed on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
14 त्यसका भगुवाहरूलाई काट्नलाई दोबाटोमा खडा नहो, र विपत्तिको दिनमा त्यसका बाँकी बचेकाहरूलाई नसुम्पी ।
Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did 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 the LORD is near upon all the nations; as thou hast done, it shall be done unto 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 that 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 kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken.
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 they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they 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 captivity of this host of the children of Israel, that are among the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath, and the captivity of Jerusalem, that is 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 saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
