Abdías 1
1 ʼAdonay Yavé dice a Edom: Oímos un mensaje de parte de Yavé, un mensajero fue enviado a las naciones: ¡Levántense a combatir contra él!
The vision of Obadiah. This is what Jehovah says about Edom. We have heard news from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her in battle.
2 Ciertamente te hago pequeño entre las naciones. Serás despreciado en gran manera.
Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
3 El orgullo de tu corazón te sedujo, porque habitas en las hendiduras de las peñas, en la altura de tu morada, y dices en tu corazón: ¿Quién me derribará a tierra?
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
4 Aunque te eleves como el águila y pongas tu nido entre las estrellas, te derribaré de allí, dice Yavé.
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," says Jehovah.
5 Si vinieran ladrones o asaltantes contra ti de noche, ¡como serías arruinado! ¿No te robarían hasta que tuvieran suficiente? Si vinieran cosechadores de uvas, ¿no dejarían solo algunas uvas para que rebusques?
"If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you? wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
6 ¡Cómo será investigado Esaú y buscados sus tesoros escondidos!
How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.
7 Tus aliados te enviarán a la frontera. Los hombres de tu paz te engañarán y prevalecerán contra ti. Los que comen tu pan tenderán una emboscada contra ti. No hay entendimiento en él.
All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
8 ¿No promoveré que los sabios de Edom, la sabiduría de la montaña de Esaú, perezcan aquel día? dice Yavé.
"Won't I in that day," says Jehovah, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Tus valientes, oh Temán, serán atemorizados para que todos los de la montaña de Esaú sean cortados por la matanza.
Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 Por la violencia hecha a tu hermano Jacob, la vergüenza te cubrirá y serás destruido para siempre.
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11 El día cuando te pusiste a distancia, cuando extranjeros llevaron su riqueza, y extranjeros entraron por su puerta y echaron suertes sobre Jerusalén, tú también eras uno de ellos.
In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
12 No debiste quedarte mirando a tu hermano el día de su calamidad, ni alegrarte por los hijos de Judá el día de su ruina, ni debiste jactarte el día de su angustia,
But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 ni entrar por la puerta de mi pueblo el día de su infortunio, ni disfrutar de su desgracia el día de su desdicha, ni echar mano a sus bienes el día de su ruina,
Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14 ni esperar en las encrucijadas para asesinar a sus fugitivos, ni entregar a sus sobrevivientes el día de la angustia.
Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15 Porque el día de Yavé está cercano para todas las naciones. Como tú hiciste se hará contigo. Tus hechos caerán sobre tu cabeza.
For the day of Jehovah is near all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Como bebieron en mi Montaña Santa, beberán todas las naciones de alrededor. Beberán y sorberán. Y serán como si nunca existieran.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
17 Pero quedará un remanente en la Montaña Sion. Será Lugar Santo. La casa de Jacob recobrará sus posesiones.
But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
18 La casa de Jacob será fuego. La casa de José será llama. La casa de Esaú será hojarasca que arderá hasta consumirse, y no quedará alguno de su casa, porque lo dijo Yavé.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Jehovah has spoken.
19 Los del Neguev poseerán la región montañosa de Esaú. Los de la Sefela [poseerán] la tierra de los filisteos, el territorio de Efraín y el campo de Samaria. Los de Benjamín poseerán Galaad.
Those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Los cautivos de este ejército de los hijos de Israel que están entre los cananeos hasta Sarepta, y los cautivos de Jerusalén que están en Sefarad poseerán las ciudades del Neguev.
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Subirán victoriosos a la Montaña Sion para juzgar a la montaña de Esaú. El reino será de Yavé.
Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Jehovah's.
