< 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!’
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom, A report we have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations was sent, 'Rise, yea, let us rise against her for battle.'
2 हेर्, म तिमीहरूलाई जाति-जातिका बिचमा सानो तुल्याउनेछु, तिमीहरू अति घृणित हुनेछौ ।
Lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised [art] thou exceedingly.
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 lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart, 'Who doth bring me down [to] earth?')
4 तिमीहरू गरूडझैं उचाइमा उडे पनि र तिमीहरूको गुँड ताराहरूका बिचमा भए पनि, तिमीहरूलाई त्यहाँबाट म तल ल्याउनेछु, परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ ।
If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of 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 have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night, How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not leave gleanings?
6 तर एसाव कसरी लुटिएको छ, त्यसका लुकाइएका धनसम्पत्तिको खोजिनेछ ।
How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,
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 ।
Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make 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?”
Is it not in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, That I have destroyed the wise 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 broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.
10 तेरो भाइ याकूबमाथि गरिएको क्रूरताको कारणले, तँ शर्ममा पर्नेछस्, र तँ सधैंको निम्ति नाश हुनेछस् ।
For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off — to the age.
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 of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art] 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 ।
And — thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a 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 ।
Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,
14 त्यसका भगुवाहरूलाई काट्नलाई दोबाटोमा खडा नहो, र विपत्तिको दिनमा त्यसका बाँकी बचेकाहरूलाई नसुम्पी ।
Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a 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 near [is] the day of Jehovah, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on 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 on My holy mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.
17 तर भाग्न सफल भएकाहरू सियोन पर्वतमा रहनेछन् र त्यो पवित्र हुनेछ । अनि याकूबको घरानाले तिनीहरूका आ-आफ्ना सम्पत्तिको अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed 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 hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah 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 have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.
20 निर्वासनमा गएको इस्राएलका मानिसहरूको समुहले कनान देशदेखि सारपतसम्मका देश अधिकार गर्नेछ । सपारादमा भएका यरूशलेमका निर्वासितहरूले नेगेवका सहरहरूमा अधिकार गर्नेछन् ।
And the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
21 उद्धार गर्नेहरू एसावको पहाडी देशमा शासन गर्नलाई सियोन पर्वतसम्म जानेछन्, र त्यो राज्य परमप्रभुको हुनेछ ।
And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!'
