Obadias 1
1 Visão de Obadias: Assim diz o Senhor Jehovah a Edom: Temos ouvido a prégação do Senhor, e foi enviado entre as nações um embaixador; levantae-vos, e levantemo-nos contra ella para a guerra.
This is a message that Yahweh our God gave to me, Obadiah, about the Edom [people-group]. Yahweh our God has told me this about [the people of] Edom: “I, Yahweh, have sent a messenger to other nations, telling them to prepare to go and attack Edom.”
2 Eis que te fiz pequeno entre as nações; tu és mui desprezado.
And Yahweh says this to the people of Edom: “I will soon cause you to become the weakest and most despised nation [on the earth].
3 A soberba do teu coração te enganou, como o que habita nas fendas das rochas, na sua alta morada, que diz no seu coração: Quem me derribará em terra?
Your [capital city] is high in the rocky cliffs, and you are very proud; you think that you are safe from being attacked by your enemies [RHQ], but you [IDM] have deceived yourselves.
4 Se te elevares como aguia, e pozeres o teu ninho entre as estrellas, d'ali te derribarei, diz o Senhor.
And I tell you that even if [you had wings and] could fly higher than eagles fly, and if you could make your homes among the stars, I would bring you [crashing] down from there.
5 Se viessem a ti ladrões, ou roubadores de noite (como és destruido!), porventura não furtariam o que lhes bastasse? se a ti viessem os vindimadores, porventura não deixariam rabisco?
When thieves break into someone’s house during the night, they certainly [RHQ] steal only the things that they want. And people who pick grapes always [RHQ] leave a few grapes on the vines. But your country will be completely destroyed!
6 Como foram esquadrinhadas as coisas de Esaú! como foram investigados os seus esconderijos!
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
7 Todos os teus confederados te levaram para fóra até aos limites: os que gozam da tua paz te enganaram, prevaleceram contra ti; os que comem o teu pão pozeram debaixo de ti uma armadilha: não ha n'elle entendimento.
All (your allies/nations who promised to help you) will turn against you, and they will force you to leave your country/land. Those with whom you have peace now will trick/deceive you and defeat you. Those who eat meals with you now are planning to trap you, and [then they will say to you], ‘You are not [RHQ] as clever [as you thought you were]!’
8 Porventura não acontecerá n'aquelle dia, diz o Senhor, que farei perecer os sabios de Edom, e o entendimento da montanha de Esaú?
I, Yahweh, declare that at the time that I destroy Edom, I will punish the men who live in those cliffs who [thought that they] were wise.
9 E os teus valentes, ó Teman, estarão atemorisados, para que da montanha de Esaú seja cada um exterminado pela matança.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 Por causa da violencia feita a teu irmão Jacob, cobrir-te-ha a confusão, e serás exterminado para sempre.
You acted cruel in a cruel way toward your relatives who are descendants of Jacob, [the twin brother of your ancestor Esau]. So now you will be disgraced forever; you will be completely destroyed.
11 No dia em que o confrontaste, no dia em que os forasteiros levavam captivo o seu exercito, e os estranhos entravam pelas suas portas, e lançavam sortes sobre Jerusalem, tu eras tambem como um d'elles.
Foreigners entered the gates of Jerusalem and (cast lots/threw small stones that were marked) to decide what valuable things they would take away; but you were as bad as those foreigners, because you just stood there [and did not help the Israelis].
12 Então tu não devias ver satisfeito o dia de teu irmão, no dia do seu desterro; nem alegrar-te sobre os filhos de Judah, no dia da sua ruina; nem alargar a tua bocca, no dia da angustia;
You should not have (gloated/been happy) about the disaster that the Israelis were experiencing. You should not have been happy when their towns were ruined. You should not have made fun [of them] when they were suffering.
13 Nem entrar pela porta do meu povo, no dia da sua calamidade; nem tão pouco devias ver satisfeito o seu mal, no dia da sua calamidade; nem estender as tuas mãos contra o seu exercito, no dia da sua calamidade;
They are my people, so you should not have entered their [city] gates when they were experiencing those disasters and you should not have laughed at them. And you should not have taken away their [valuable] possessions.
14 Nem parar nas encruzilhadas, para lhe exterminares os que escapassem: nem entregar os que lhe restassem, no dia da angustia.
You should not have stood at crossroads to catch those who were [trying to] escape. You should not have [captured them and] put them into the hands of [their enemies] when they were experiencing those disasters.”
15 Porque o dia do Senhor está perto, sobre todas as nações: como tu fizeste, assim se fará comtigo: a tua recompensa tornará sobre a tua cabeça.
“There will soon be the time when I, Yahweh, will judge [and punish] all the nations. And you [people of Edom] will experience the same [disasters] that you caused [others to experience]. The same evil things that you have done to others will happen to you.
16 Porque, como vós bebestes no monte da minha sanctidade, beberão tambem de continuo todas as nações: beberão, e engulirão, e serão como se nunca fossem
[My people in Jerusalem have been punished] because I was very angry with them. [It is as though] [MET] they drank [a cup of very bitter liquid] on Zion, my sacred hill. But [I] will punish [MET] all the other nations even more severely, and cause them to disappear completely.
17 Porém no monte de Sião haverá livramento; e elle será sanctidade; e os da casa de Jacob possuirão as suas herdades.
But some [people in Jerusalem will escape], and Jerusalem will become a very holy/sacred place. Then the descendants of Jacob will [conquer and] possess again the land that truly belongs to them.
18 E a casa de Jacob será fogo, e a casa de José chamma, e a casa de Esaú palha; e se accenderão contra elles, e os consumirão; e ninguem mais restará da casa de Esaú, porque o Senhor o fallou
The descendants [MTY] of Jacob and his son Joseph will be like [MET] a fire, and the people [MTY] of Edom will be like [MET] stubble that will be completely burned in that fire. Not one person will remain alive. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
19 E os do sul possuirão a montanha de Esaú, e os das planicies os philisteos: possuirão tambem os campos de Ephraim, e os campos de Samaria; e Benjamin a Gilead.
The Israeli people [who live] in the southern desert are the ones who will capture Edom. And those [who live in] the western foothills will capture the Phoenicia [region] and the areas of Ephraim and Samaria. And people of the tribe of Benjamin will conquer the Gilead [region].
20 E os captivos d'este exercito, dos filhos de Israel, o que era dos cananitas, até Zarephath; e os captivos de Jerusalem, o que está em Sepharad, possuirão as cidades do sul.
Those who were (exiled in/forced to go to) [Babylon] will [return to their land] [and] capture the Phoenicia [region] as far north as Zarephath [on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea]. People of Jerusalem who were captured and taken to Sardis, [the capital city of the Lydia region], will capture the towns in the southern desert.
21 E levantar-se-hão salvadores no monte Sião, para julgarem a montanha de Esaú; e o reino será do Senhor.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
