< 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.‹
The vision of Obadiah, —Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom—A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war.
2 Glej, naredil sem te majhnega med pogani, silno si preziran.
Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
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?‹
The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation, —that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 Čeprav se povišuješ kakor orel in čeprav si svoje gnezdo postavil med zvezde, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
Though thou build high like an eagle, and though, among the stars, thou set thy nest, from thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh.
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?
If, thieves, had come to thee, if robbers by night—how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape-gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings?
6 Kako so Ezavove stvari preiskane! Kako so njegove skrite stvari poiskane!
How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
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.
Up to the boundary, have they sent thee—All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee—the men thou wast wont to salute, —The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee—No understanding in him!
8 Mar ne bom na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod, ›celo uničil modre može iz Edóma in razumevanje z Ezavove gore?
Shall it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh, —That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
9 In tvoji mogočni ljudje, oh Temán, bodo zaprepadeni do konca, z namenom, da bo vsakdo z Ezavove gore iztrebljen s pokolom.
So shall thy mighty men, O Teman, be dismayed, —to the intent that every man, may be cut off, out of Mount Esau, by slaughter.
10 Zaradi tvojega nasilja zoper tvojega brata Jakoba te bo pokrila sramota in iztrebljen boš na veke.
For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
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.
In the day when thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces, —and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast 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.
Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah—in the day of their ruin, —nor enlarge thy mouth—in the day of 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;
Do not enter into the gate of my people—in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery—in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust [thy hands] on his substance—in the day of his misfortune;
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.
Neither do thou stand at the parting of the way, to cut off his fugitives, —neither do thou deliver up his survivors—in the day of 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, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, —Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine own head.
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 ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, —Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.
17 Toda na gori Sion bo osvoboditev in tam bo svetost, in Jakobova hiša bo v last vzela njihove posesti.
But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
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.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, with the house of Esau for stubble, So shall they kindle upon them, and devour them, —and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau, for, Yahweh, hath 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.
Then shall they of the South possess Mount Esau, and they of the Lowlands, the Philistines, and they [of the Mountain] shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, —and Benjamin [shall possess] 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.
And, they of the captivity of this force pertaining to the sons of Israel, [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, up to Zarephath, and, they of the captivity of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.
21 Rešitelji bodo prišli na goro Sion, da sodijo Ezavovo goro, in kraljestvo bo Gospodovo.‹«
And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
