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 Obdias. Thus says the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
2 “Kunoo, ani saboota gidduutti sin xinneessa; atis akka malee tuffatamta.
Arise you, and let us rise up against her to war.
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.
Behold, I have made you small among the Gentiles: you are greatly dishonored. The pride of your heart has elated you, dwelling [as you do] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
4 Yoo ati akkuma risaa ol fagaattee urjiiwwan gidduutti manʼee kee ijaarratte iyyuu, ani achii gad sin buusa” jedha Waaqayyo.
If you should mount up as the eagle, and if you should make your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says 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?
If thieves came in to you, or robbers by night, where would you have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape gatherers went in to you, would they not leave a gleaning?
6 Esaawu garuu akkam saamamee qabeenyi isaa dhokfamaanis jalaa guurame!
How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
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.
They sent you to your coasts: all the men of your covenant have withstood you; your allies have prevailed against you, they have set snares under you: they have no understanding.
8 “Ani bara sana ogeeyyii Edoom, namoota hubannaa qaban tulluuwwan Esaaw irraa hin balleessuu?” jedha Waaqayyo.
In that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
9 “Yaa Teemaan qabsaaʼonni kee ni rifatu; namni tulluuwwan Esaawuu irra jiraatu hundinuus gorraʼamee dhuma.
And your warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 Sababii daba obboleessa kee Yaaqoobitti hojjetameetiif ati qaaniidhaan haguugamta; bara baraanis ni balleeffamta.
Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.
11 Gaafa alagoonni qabeenya isaa guurratanii namoonni ormaa immoo karra isaa seenanii Yerusaalemitti ixaa buufatanitti, atis kophaa dhaabattee isaan keessaa akka isa tokkoo taate.
From the day that you stood in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, you also was 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.
And you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day of strangers; nor should you have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither should you have boasted in the day of [their] 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.
Neither should you have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet should you have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor should you have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
14 Baqattoota isaa fixuuf jettee qaxxaamura karaatti isaan eeggachuu hin qabdu turte; yookaan bara rakkina isaa keessa hambaa isaa dabarsitee kennuu hin qabdu turte.
Neither should you have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither should you have shut up his fugitives 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 near upon all the Gentiles: as you have done, so shall it be [done] to you: your recompense shall be returned on your [own] 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 you have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.
17 Tulluu Xiyoon irra garuu furamuun ni jiraata; inni ni qulqullaaʼa; manni Yaaqoobis dhaala isaanii ni dhuunfatu.
But on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.
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 Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble; and [Israel] shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field [left] to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.
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 [that dwell] in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.
20 Gareen boojiʼamtoota Israaʼel kan Kanaʼaan jiraatu kun biyya hamma Saaraptaatti jiru dhaala; boojiʼamtoonni Yerusaalem kanneen Sefaaraad jiraatan magaalaawwan Negeeb dhaalu.
And this [shall be] the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem [shall inherit] as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.
21 Bilisa baastonni tulluuwwan Esaaw bulchuudhaaf Tulluu Xiyoonitti ol baʼu. Mootummaanis kan Waaqayyoo taʼa.
And they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
