Книга пророка Авдия 1
1 Видение Авдиино: сия глаголет Господь Бог Идумеи: слух слышах от Господа, известие во языки посла: востаните, и востанем на ню ратию.
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 Се, мала дах тя во языцех, безчестен ты еси зело.
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 Презорство сердца твоего воздвиже тя живущаго в пещерах каменных: возвышаяй храмину свою, глаголяй в сердцы своем: кто мя свержет на землю?
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 Аще вознесешися якоже орел и аще положиши гнездо твое среде звезд, и оттуду свергу тя, глаголет Господь.
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 Аще бы татие влезли к тебе, или разбойницы нощию, камо бы повержен был еси? Еда не украли бы доволных себе? Или аще бы объемлющии виноград влезли к тебе, еда бы не оставили гроздия?
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 Како обыскася Исав, и взята быша сокровенная его?
Everything that is valuable will be taken away. [Your enemies] will find and take away even the valuable things that you have hidden.
7 Даже до предел испустиша тя: вси мужие завета твоего сопротивишася ти, премогоша тя мужие мирницы твои: (ядущии с тобою) положиша лесть под тобою, несть смысла в них.
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 В той день, глаголет Господь, погублю премудрыя от Идумеи и смысл от горы Исавовы:
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 и убоятся воини твои, иже от Феман, да отимется человек от горы Исавовы.
The soldiers from Teman [town] will become terrified; all you people who are descendants of Esau will be (wiped out/killed).
10 Посечения ради и нечестия, еже на брата твоего Иакова, покрыет тя студ, и отвержен будеши во век.
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 От негоже дне сопротивился еси во дни пленяющих иноплеменников силу его, и чуждии внидоша во врата его и о Иерусалиме вергоша жребия, и ты был еси яко един от них.
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 И да не презриши дне брата твоего в день чуждих, и да не порадуешися о сынех Иудиных в день погибели их, и да не велеречиши в день скорби:
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 и не входи во врата людий Моих в день болезни их, и не презри и ты сонма их в день потребления их, и не совещайся на силу их в день погибели их:
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 ниже настой на исходы их потребити избегающыя их, ниже заключай бежащыя их в день скорби.
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 Понеже близ день Господень на вся языки: якоже сотворил еси, сице будет ти, воздаяние твое воздастся на главу твою.
“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 Понеже якоже еси пил на горе Моей святей, испиют вси языцы вино, испиют и снидут, и будут яко не бывшии.
[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 В горе же Сиони будет спасение, и будет свята: и наследят дом Иаковль наследивших я.
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 И будет дом Иаковль огнь, дом же Иосифов пламень, а дом Исавов в тростие, и возгорятся на них и поядят я, и не будет избегаяй дому Исавову, яко Господь глагола.
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 И наследят иже во нагеве гору Исавову, и иже в раздолии иноплеменники: и возмут гору Ефремову и поле Самарийско, и Вениамина и Галаадитиду.
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 И преселения начало сие сыном Израилевым, земля Хананейска до Сарепты: преселение же Иерусалимле до Ефрафа: и наследят грады Нагевовы.
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 И взыдут спасаемии от горы Сиони, еже отмстити гору Исавлю, и будет царство Господеви.
The army of Jerusalem will attack Edom and conquer it, and Yahweh will be their king.
