Obaadiyaa 1
1 Mulʼata Obaadiyaa. Waaqayyo Gooftaan waaʼee Edoom akkana jedha. Nu ergaa tokko Waaqayyo irraa dhageenyeerra: Ergamaan tokko, “Kaʼaa dhaqnee ishee lollaa; waraanaafis baʼaa” jechuuf gara sabootaatti ergame.
The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God against Edom, We haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent among the heathen: arise, and let vs rise vp against her to battel.
2 “Kunoo, ani saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; atis akka malee tuffatamta.
Beholde, I haue made thee small among the heathen: thou art vtterly despised.
3 Ati kan baqaqaa kattaa keessa jiraattee mana kee lafa ol kaʼaa irratti ijaarrattu, kan, ‘Eenyutu lafatti gad na buusa?’ ofiin jettu, of tuulummaan garaa keetii si gowwoomseera.
The pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee: thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rockes, whose habitation is hie, that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me downe to the ground?
4 Yoo ati akkuma risaa ol fagaattee urjiiwwan gidduutti manʼee kee ijaarratte iyyuu, ani achii gad sin buusa” jedha Waaqayyo.
Though thou exalt thy selfe as the eagle, and make thy nest among the starres, thence will I bring thee downe, sayth the Lord.
5 “Hattuun yoo sitti dhuftee saamtuun halkaniin sitti seente, balaa akkamiitu si eeggata! Isaan hammuma barbaadan qofa fudhatanii hin deemanii? Warri ija wayinii guuran utuu gara kee dhufanii, silaa qarmii wayii hin dhiisanii?
Came theeues to thee or robbers by night? howe wast thou brought to silence? woulde they not haue stolen, til they had ynough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, woulde they not leaue some grapes?
6 Esaawu garuu akkam saamamee qabeenyi isaa dhokfamaanis jalaa guurame!
Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and his treasures searched?
7 Gareen kee hundinuu gara moggaatti si dhiiba; michoonni kee si gowwoomsanii si moʼatu; warri buddeena kee nyaatan kiyyoo si dura kaaʼu; ati garuu waan kana hin hubattu.
All the men of thy confederacie haue driuen thee to ye borders: the men that were at peace with thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against thee: they that eate thy bread, haue laid a wound vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding in him.
8 “Ani bara sana ogeeyyii Edoom, namoota hubannaa qaban tulluuwwan Esaaw irraa hin balleessuu?” jedha Waaqayyo.
Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, euen destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding from the mount of Esau?
9 “Yaa Teemaan qabsaaʼonni kee ni rifatu; namni tulluuwwan Esaawuu irra jiraatu hundinuus gorraʼamee dhuma.
And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide, because euery one of the mount of Esau shalbe cut off by slaughter.
10 Sababii daba obboleessa kee Yaaqoobitti hojjetameetiif ati qaaniidhaan haguugamta; bara baraanis ni balleeffamta.
For thy crueltie against thy brother Iaakob, shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.
11 Gaafa alagoonni qabeenya isaa guurratanii namoonni ormaa immoo karra isaa seenanii Yerusaalemitti ixaa buufatanitti, atis kophaa dhaabattee isaan keessaa akka isa tokkoo taate.
When thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers caried away his substance, and straungers entred into his gates, and cast lots vpon Ierusalem, euen thou wast as one of them.
12 Gaafa inni milkii dhabetti ati obboleessa kee tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan guyyaa badii isaaniitti saba Yihuudaatti gammaduu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaanii keessa akka malee of tuuluu hin qabdu turte.
But thou shouldest not haue beholden the day of thy brother, in the day that hee was made a stranger, neither shouldest thou haue reioyced ouer the children of Iudah, in the day of their destruction: thou shouldest not haue spoken proudly in the day of affliction.
13 Bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa karra saba kootiin ol seenuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara dhaʼichi isaanitti dhufe keessa rakkina isaanii keessatti isaan tuffachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara balaan isaanitti dhufe keessa qabeenya isaanii saamuu hin qabdu turte.
Thou shouldest not haue entred into the gate of my people, in the day of their destruction, neither shouldest thou haue once looked on their affliction in the day of their destruction, nor haue layde hands on their substance in the day of their destruction.
14 Baqattoota isaa fixuuf jettee qaxxaamura karaatti isaan eeggachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaa keessa hambaa isaa dabarsitee kennuu hin qabdu turte.
Neyther shouldest thou haue stande in the crosse wayes to cut off them, that shoulde escape, neither shouldest thou haue shut vp the remnant thereof in the day of affliction.
15 “Guyyaan Waaqayyoo saboota hundaaf dhiʼaateera. Akkuma ati hojjette sittis ni hojjetama; hojiin kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.
For the day of the Lord is neere, vpon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall bee done to thee: thy reward shall returne vpon thine head.
16 Akkuma isin gaara koo qulqulluu irratti dhugdan sana, saboonni hundinuu ittuma fufanii ni dhugu; isaan itti deddeebiʼanii dhugu; akka waan gonkumaa hin dhuginii taʼu.
For as yee haue drunke vpon mine holy Mountaine, so shall all the heathen drinke continually: yea, they shall drinke and swallow vp, and they shalbe as though they had not bene.
17 Tulluu Xiyoon irra garuu furamuun ni jiraata; inni ni qulqullaaʼa; manni Yaaqoobis dhaala isaanii ni dhuunfatu.
But vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance, and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall possesse their possessions,
18 Manni Yaaqoob ibidda, manni Yoosef immoo arraba ibiddaa taʼa; manni Esaaw huura taʼa; isaanis ibidda itti qabsiisanii gubanii barbadeessu. Mana Esaaw keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin hafu” jedhee dubbateera Waaqayyo.
And the house of Iaakob shalbe a fire, and the house of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and deuoure them: and there shall bee no remnant of the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 Namoonni Negeeb tulluuwwan Esaaw ni qabatu; namoonni gaarran jala jiraatan immoo biyya Filisxeemotaa qabatu. Isaan dirree Efreemii fi Samaariyaa ni qabatu; Beniyaam immoo biyya Giliʼaad qabata.
And they shall possesse the South side of the mount of Esau, and the plaine of the Philistims: and they shall possesse the fieldes of Ephraim, and the fieldes of Samaria, and Beniamin shall haue Gilead.
20 Gareen boojiʼamtoota Israaʼel kan Kanaʼaan jiraatu kun biyya hamma Saaraptaatti jiru dhaala; boojiʼamtoonni Yerusaalem kanneen Sefaaraad jiraatan magaalaawwan Negeeb dhaalu.
And the captiuitie of this host of the children of Israel, which were among the Canaanites, shall possesse vnto Zarephath, and the captiuitie of Ierusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possesse the cities of the South.
21 Bilisa baastonni tulluuwwan Esaaw bulchuudhaaf Tulluu Xiyoonitti ol baʼu. Mootummaanis kan Waaqayyoo taʼa.
And they that shall saue, shall come vp to mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the kingdome shalbe the Lords.
