Obadja 1
1 Detta är Obadia syn. Så säger Herren Herren om Edom: Vi hafve hört af Herranom, att ett bådskap är sändt ibland Hedningarna: Upp, och låter oss örliga emot dem.
The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her.
2 Si, jag hafver gjort dig ringa ibland Hedningarna, och mycket föraktad.
See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.
3 Dins hjertas högmod hafver bedragit dig, efter du bor uti stenklyftor, på din höga slott, och säger i dino hjerta: Ho vill drifva mig här neder?
You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
4 Om du än fore uppe i höjdene, lika som en örn, och gjorde ditt näste ibland stjernorna, så vill jag likväl draga dig der neder, säger Herren.
Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.
5 Om tjufvar eller förhärjare komma om nattena öfver dig, o! huru tyst skall du då varda; ja, de skola nog stjäla; och om vinhemtare öfver dig komma, så skola de icke lefva dig någon efterhemtning.
If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
6 O! huru skola de utransaka Esau, och uppsöka hans håfvor.
How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his secret stores looked for!
7 Alle de, som i förbund med dig äro, de skola drifva dig bort utu landet; de män der du sätter din tröst till, de skola bedraga dig, och öfverfalla dig; de som äta ditt bröd, de skola förråda dig, förr än du vetst der något af.
All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
8 Hvad gäller, säger Herren, jag skall på den tiden nederlägga de visa i Edom, och den klokhet på Esau berg.
Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Ty dine starke i Theman skola förtvifla, på det de alle skola förgås genom mord, på Esau berg.
And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
10 För den orätts skull, som emot din broder Jacob bedrifven vardt, skall du på all skam komma, och till evig tid förlagd varda.
Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.
11 Den tid, då du emot honom stod, då främmande bortförde hans här fångnan, och utländningar drogo in igenom hans portar, och kastade lott öfver Jerusalem, då vast du lika som en af dem.
Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.
12 Du skall intet mer se dina lust på dinom broder, i hans eländes tid, och skall icke mer glädja dig öfver Juda barn, i deras jämmers tid; och skall icke tala så stolt ord med din mun, i deras ångests tid.
Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
13 Du skall icke indraga genom mins folks portar, i deras jämmers tid; du skall icke se dina lust på deras olycko, uti deras jämmers tid; du skall icke sända emot deras här, uti deras jämmers tid.
Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
14 Du skall icke stå i vägaskäl, till att mörda deras flyktiga; du skall icke förråda deras qvarblefna, i deras ångests tid.
And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.
15 Ty Herrans dag är hardt när öfver alla Hedningar. Lika som du gjort hafver, så skall dig ske igen; och såsom du förtjent hafver, så skall det komma dig uppå ditt hufvud igen.
For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.
16 Ty lika som I på mitt helga berg druckit hafven, så skola alle Hedningar dricka allt framgent; ja, de skola utsupat och uppsvälgat, att det skall vara lika som der aldrig något varit hade.
For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.
17 Men på Zions berg skola ännu somlige hulpne varda; de skola vara en helgedom, och Jacobs hus skall besitta sina besittare.
But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.
18 Och Jacobs hus skall en eld varda, och Josephs hus en låge, men Esau hus strå; de skola upptända och förtära det, så att Esau huse intet skall qvart blifva; ty Herren hafver det talat.
And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.
19 Och de söderut skola, besitta Esau berg, och de i dalomen skola besitta de Philisteer; ja, de skola besitta Ephraims mark, och Samarie mark; och BenJamin Gileads berg.
And they will take the South, and the lowland, and the country of Ephraim, and Gilead, as their heritage.
20 Och de fördrefne af denna Israels barnas här, hvilke ibland de Cananeer allt intill Zarpath äro, och de fördrefne af Jerusalems stad, hvilke i Sepharad äro, skola besitta de städer söderut.
And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.
21 Och frälsare skola uppkomma på Zions berg, till att döma Esau berg. Alltså skall då riket vara Herrans.
And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.
