< Ovadija 1 >

1 Utvara Avdijeva. Ovako veli Gospod Gospod za Edomsku: èusmo glas od Gospoda, i glasnik bi poslan k narodima: ustajte, da ustanemo na nju u boj.
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 Gle, uèiniæu te malijem meðu narodima, biæeš vrlo prezren.
Arise you, and let us rise up against her to war.
3 Ponos srca tvojega prevari te, tebe, koji živiš u rasjelinama kamenijem, u visokom stanu svom, i govoriš u srcu svom: ko æe me oboriti na zemlju?
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 Da podigneš visoko kao orao i meðu zvijezde da metneš gnijezdo svoje, odande æu te oboriti, govori Gospod.
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 Kako si oplijenjen? da su došli k tebi kradljivci ili lupeži noæu, ne bi li pokrali koliko im je dosta? da su došli k tebi beraèi vinogradski, ne bi li ostavili pabiraka?
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 Kako se pretraži Isav, kako se naðoše potaje njegove!
How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?
7 Do granice te odvedoše svi koji bijahu s tobom u vjeri, prevariše te i nadvladaše te koji bijahu u miru s tobom; koji jedu hljeb tvoj podmetnuše ti zamku, da se ne opazi.
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 U onaj dan, govori Gospod, neæu li pogubiti mudre u zemlji Edomskoj i razumne u gori Isavovoj?
In that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
9 I tvoji æe se junaci uplašiti, Temane, da se istrijebe pokoljem svi iz gore Isavove.
And your warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 Za nasilje uèinjeno bratu tvojemu Jakovu pokriæe te stid i istrijebiæeš se zasvagda.
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 Onaj dan, kad ti stajaše nasuprot; onaj dan, kad inostranci odvoðahu u ropstvo vojsku njegovu, i tuðinci ulažahu na vrata njegova i bacahu ždrijeb za Jerusalim, bješe i ti kao koji od njih.
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 Ali ti ne trebaše gledati dana brata svojega, dana, kad se odvoðaše u tuðu zemlju, niti se radovati sinovima Judinijem u dan kad propadahu, niti razvaljivati usta u dan nevolje njihove.
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 Ne trebaše ti uæi na vrata naroda mojega u dan pogibli njihove, ne trebaše da i ti gledaš zlo njihovo u dan pogibli njihove ni da se mašaš dobra njihova u dan pogibli njihove.
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 Niti trebaše da staneš na rasputicu da ubijaš bježan njihovu, niti da izdaješ onijeh koji ostaše u dan nevolje.
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 Jer je dan Gospodnji blizu svijem narodima; kako si èinio, tako æe ti biti, plata æe ti se vratiti na glavu tvoju.
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 Jer kao što ste vi pili na svetoj gori mojoj, tako æe piti svi narodi vazda, piæe, i ždrijeæe, i biæe kao da ih nije bilo.
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 A na gori æe Sionu biti spasenje, i biæe sveta, i dom æe Jakovljev naslijediti našljedstvo svoje.
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 I dom æe Jakovljev biti oganj i dom Josifov plamen, a dom Isavov strnjika; i razgorjeæe se na njih, i spaliæe ih; i neæe biti ostatka domu Isavovu, jer Gospod reèe.
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 I naslijediæe jug, goru Isavovu, i ravnicu, Filisteje; i naslijediæe polje Jefremovo i polje Samarijsko i Venijaminovo i Galad;
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 I zarobljena vojska sinova Izrailjevijeh naslijediæe što je bilo Hananejsko do Sarepte; a roblje Jerusalimsko, što je u Sefaradu, naslijediæe južne gradove.
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 I izbavitelji æe izaæi na goru Sion da sude gori Isavovoj, i carstvo æe biti Gospodnje.
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.
