< Abdija 1 >

1 Abdíjevo videnje. Tako govori Gospod Bog glede Edóma: »Slišali smo govorico od Gospoda in predstavnik je poslan med pogane: ›Vstanite in vzdignimo se v bitki zoper njega.‹
Obadiah's vision. This is what the Lord says about the land of Edom. We have heard from the Lord that a messenger was sent to tell the nations: Get ready! Let's go to war against Edom!
2 Glej, naredil sem te majhnega med pogani, silno si preziran.
I will make you insignificant among the nations. You will be totally despised.
3 Ponos tvojega srca te je zavedel, ti, ki prebivaš v skalnih razpokah, katerega prebivališče je visoko, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Kdo me bo privedel dol na tla?‹
Your heart's pride has deceived you—you who live in a secure fortress of rock in the high mountains, saying to yourselves, “Who can ever bring us down?”
4 Čeprav se povišuješ kakor orel in čeprav si svoje gnezdo postavil med zvezde, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
But even though you soar like an eagle, even though you make your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares the Lord.
5 ›Če pridejo k tebi tatovi, če roparji ponoči (kako si iztrebljen!), mar ne bodo kradli, dokler nimajo dovolj? Če pridejo k tebi obiralci grozdja, mar ne bodo pustili nekaj grozdov?
You will be completely destroyed! If thieves came to you, if robbers came at night, wouldn't they steal only what they wanted? If those who harvest grapes came to you, wouldn't they leave some behind?
6 Kako so Ezavove stvari preiskane! Kako so njegove skrite stvari poiskane!
But how Esau will be plundered and their hidden treasures looted!
7 Vsi možje tvoje zaveze so te privedli, celó k meji. Možje, ki so bili v miru s teboj, so te zavedli in prevladali zoper tebe. Tisti, ki jedo tvoj kruh, so položili rano pod teboj. Nobenega razumevanja ni v njem.
All your allies will drive you out, past the borders of your land. Those who were at peace with you will deceive you, and conquer you. Those who ate with you have ambushed you. You don't understand a thing!
8 Mar ne bom na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod, ›celo uničil modre može iz Edóma in razumevanje z Ezavove gore?
On that day, declares the Lord, I will destroy the wise men of Edom—there will be no more wisdom in the mountains of Esau.
9 In tvoji mogočni ljudje, oh Temán, bodo zaprepadeni do konca, z namenom, da bo vsakdo z Ezavove gore iztrebljen s pokolom.
Teman, your fighting men will be terrified, so that everyone of the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the massacre.
10 Zaradi tvojega nasilja zoper tvojega brata Jakoba te bo pokrila sramota in iztrebljen boš na veke.
Because of the violence you committed against your brothers, the descendants of Jacob, you will be totally ashamed of yourselves, and destroyed forever.
11 Na dan, ko stojiš na drugi strani, na dan, ko tujci odvedejo njegove sile ujete in tuji ljudje vstopijo v njegova velika vrata in mečejo žrebe nad Jeruzalemom, si bil celo ti kakor eden izmed njih.
On that day you stood aside, on that day strangers plundered their wealth and foreigners entered their gates, and divided up Jerusalem by casting lots—and you were like one of them.
12 Toda ne bi smel gledati na dan svojega brata, na dan, ko je postal tujec, niti ne bi smel imeti veselja nad Judovimi otroki na dan njihovega uničenja, niti ne bi smel ponosno govoriti na dan tegobe.
You should not have gloated over your brother's day of disaster. You should not have rejoiced over the day of destruction of the sons of Judah. You should not have boasted over the day of their distress.
13 Ne bi smel vstopiti v velika vrata mojega ljudstva na dan njihove katastrofe. Da, ne bi smel gledati na njihovo stisko na dan njihove katastrofe niti rok položiti na njihovo imetje na dan njihove katastrofe;
You should not have marched through the city gates of my people on their day of disaster. You should not have gloated over them on the day of their disaster. You should not have looted their wealth on the day of their disaster.
14 niti ne bi smel stati na razpotju, da bi iztrebil tiste izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili; niti ne bi smel izročiti tistih izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili na dan stiske.
You should not have stood at the crossroads, cutting down those trying to escape. You should not have handed over those who survived on the day of their distress.
15 Kajti dan Gospodov je blizu nad vsemi pogani. Kakor si ti storil, tako bo storjeno tebi. Tvoja nagrada se bo povrnila na tvojo lastno glavo.
For the day of the Lord is near for all nations. What you have done will be done to you; your actions will fall back on your own heads.
16 Kajti kakor ste pili na moji sveti gori, tako bodo vsi pogani nenehno pili, da, pili bodo in bodo požirali in bodo, kot da jih ni bilo.
For as you drank on my holy mountain, so will all the nations continually drink, and swallow, and they shall be as if they never existed.
17 Toda na gori Sion bo osvoboditev in tam bo svetost, in Jakobova hiša bo v last vzela njihove posesti.
But on Mount Zion there will be a place of escape, a holy place, and the descendants of Jacob will reclaim their inheritance.
18 Jakobova hiša bo ogenj in Jožefova hiša plamen, Ezavova hiša pa strnišče in v njih se bodo vneli in jih požrli, in tam ne bo nobenega ostanka Ezavove hiše, kajti Gospod je to govoril.
The descendants of Jacob will become a fire, and the descendants of Joseph a flame, and they shall burn up the descendants of Esau like stubble, consuming them completely, so that there will be not a single survivor of the descendants of Esau. For the Lord has spoken.
19 Tisti iz juga bodo vzeli v last goro Ezav, in tisti iz ravnine Filistejce in vzeli bodo v last Efrájimova polja in polja Samarije, Benjamin pa bo posedel Gileád.
Those living in the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills of Judah will occupy the land of the Philistines, and possess the fields of Ephraim and Samaria; those from the tribe of Benjamin will occupy Gilead.
20 Ujetništvo te vojske Izraelovih otrok bo vzelo v last to od Kánaancev, celó do Zarepte; in ujetništvo Jeruzalema, ki je v Sefarádu, bo posedlo južna mesta.
The army of exiles of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem from Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Rešitelji bodo prišli na goro Sion, da sodijo Ezavovo goro, in kraljestvo bo Gospodovo.‹«
Those who have been saved will go up Mount Zion and rule the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
