< 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.‹
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom, A report we have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations was sent, 'Rise, yea, let us rise against her for battle.'
2 Glej, naredil sem te majhnega med pogani, silno si preziran.
Lo, little I have made thee among 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 pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart, 'Who doth bring me down [to] earth?')
4 Čeprav se povišuješ kakor orel in čeprav si svoje gnezdo postavil med zvezde, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night, How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not leave gleanings?
6 Kako so Ezavove stvari preiskane! Kako so njegove skrite stvari poiskane!
How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,
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.
Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him!
8 Mar ne bom na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod, ›celo uničil modre može iz Edóma in razumevanje z Ezavove gore?
Is it not in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 In tvoji mogočni ljudje, oh Temán, bodo zaprepadeni do konca, z namenom, da bo vsakdo z Ezavove gore iztrebljen s pokolom.
And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.
10 Zaradi tvojega nasilja zoper tvojega brata Jakoba te bo pokrila sramota in iztrebljen boš na veke.
For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off — to the age.
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 of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art] as 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.
And — thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a 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;
Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,
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.
Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a 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 Jehovah, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on 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 mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.
17 Toda na gori Sion bo osvoboditev in tam bo svetost, in Jakobova hiša bo v last vzela njihove posesti.
And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed their 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 hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah 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.
And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with 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 the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.
21 Rešitelji bodo prišli na goro Sion, da sodijo Ezavovo goro, in kraljestvo bo Gospodovo.‹«
And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!'
