Obadiah 1

1 Ìran ti Obadiah. Èyí ni Olúwa Olódùmarè wí nípa Edomu. Àwa ti gbọ́ ohùn kan láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa wá, a sì ti rán ikọ̀ kan sí gbogbo kèfèrí láti sọ pé, “Ẹ dìde, ẹ jẹ́ kí a dìde ogun sí i.”

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an embassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

2 “Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di kékeré láàrín àwọn kèfèrí; ìwọ yóò sì di gígàn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.

Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

3 Ìgbéraga àyà rẹ ti tàn ọ́ jẹ, ìwọ tí ń gbé inú pálapàla àpáta, tí o sì kọ́ ibùgbé rẹ sí ibi gíga, ìwọ wí nínú ọkàn rẹ pé, ‘Ta ni yóò mú mi sọ̀kalẹ̀?’

The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation [is] high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Bí ìwọ tilẹ̀ gbé ara rẹ ga bí ẹyẹ idì, bí ìwọ tilẹ̀ tẹ́ ìtẹ́ rẹ sí àárín àwọn ìràwọ̀, láti ibẹ̀ ni èmi yóò ti sọ̀ ọ kalẹ̀,” ni Olúwa wí.

Though thou shalt exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

5 “Bí àwọn olè tọ̀ ọ́ wá, bí àwọn ọlọ́ṣà ní òru, Háà! Irú ìparun wo ló dúró dè ọ́, wọn kò ha jalè tó bí wọ́n ti fẹ́? Bí àwọn tí ń ká èso àjàrà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, wọn kò ha ni fi èso àjàrà díẹ̀ sílẹ̀?

If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?

6 Báwo ni a ṣe ṣe àwárí nǹkan Esau, tí a sì wá ohun ìní ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ jáde.

How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought!

7 Gbogbo àwọn ẹni ìmùlẹ̀ rẹ ti mú ọ dé ìpẹ̀kun ilẹ̀ rẹ, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ ti tàn ọ́ jẹ, wọ́n sì ti borí rẹ; àwọn tó jẹ oúnjẹ rẹ dẹ pàkúté dè ọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò ní ní òye rẹ̀.”

All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee [even] to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, [and] prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread have laid a wound under thee: [there is] no understanding in him.

8 Olúwa wí pé, “Ní ọjọ́ náà, Èmi kì yóò ha pa àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n Edomu run, àti àwọn amòye run kúrò ní òkè Esau?

Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise [men] out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

9 A ó ṣe ẹ̀rù ba àwọn jagunjagun rẹ, ìwọ Temani, gbogbo àwọn tó wà ní orí òkè Esau ní a ó gé kúrò nínú ìpànìyàn náà.

And thy mighty [men], O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

10 Nítorí ìwà ipá sí Jakọbu arákùnrin rẹ, ìtìjú yóò bò ọ, a ó sì pa ọ run títí láé.

For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11 Ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ dúró ní apá kan, ní ọjọ́ tí àlejò kó ogún rẹ lọ, tí àwọn àjèjì sì wọ ibodè rẹ, tí wọ́n sì sẹ́ kèké lórí Jerusalẹmu, ìwọ náà wà bí ọ̀kan nínú wọn.

In the day that thou stoodst on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou [wast] as one of them.

12 Ìwọ kì bá tí fi ojú kéré arákùnrin rẹ, ní àkókò ìbànújẹ́ rẹ̀ ìwọ kì bá tí yọ̀ lórí àwọn ọmọ Juda, ní ọjọ́ ìparun wọn ìwọ kì bá tí gbéraga púpọ̀ ní ọjọ́ wàhálà wọn.

But thou shouldst not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldst thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

13 Ìwọ kì bá tí wọ inú ibodè àwọn ènìyàn mi lọ, ní ọjọ́ àjálù wọn. Ìwọ kì bá tí fojú kó wọn mọ́lẹ̀ nínú ìdààmú wọn, ní ọjọ́ àjálù wọn. Ìwọ kì bá tí jí ẹrù wọn kó, ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú wọn.

Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, thou shouldst not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity;

14 Ìwọ kì bá tí dúró ní ìkóríta ọ̀nà láti ké àwọn tirẹ̀ tó ti sálà kúrò. Ìwọ kì bá tí fa àwọn tó ṣẹ́kù nínú wọn lélẹ̀ ní ọjọ́ wàhálà wọn.

Neither shouldst thou have stood in the cross-way, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.

15 “Nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa súnmọ́ etílé lórí gbogbo àwọn kèfèrí. Bí ìwọ ti ṣe, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ó ṣe sí ìwọ náà; ẹ̀san rẹ yóò sì yípadà sí orí ara rẹ.

For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head.

16 Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ̀ ṣe mu lórí òkè mímọ́ mi, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo kèfèrí yóò máa mu títí; wọn yóò mu ún ní àmutẹ́rùn wọn yóò sì wà bí ẹni pé wọn kò mu ún rí.

For as ye have drank upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the heathen drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

17 Ṣùgbọ́n ìgbàlà yóò wà lórí òkè Sioni, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ mímọ́, àti ilé Jakọbu yóò sì ní ìní wọn.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

18 Ilé Jakọbu yóò sì jẹ́ iná àti ilé Josẹfu ọwọ́ iná ilé Esau yóò jẹ àgékù koríko wọn yóò fi iná sí i, wọn yóò jo run. Kì yóò sí ẹni tí yóò kù ní ilé Esau.” Nítorí Olúwa ti sọ̀rọ̀.

And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken [it].

19 Àwọn ará gúúsù yóò ni òkè Esau, àwọn ará ẹsẹ̀ òkè yóò ni ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Filistini ní ìní. Wọn yóò sì ni oko Efraimu àti Samaria; Benjamini yóò ní Gileadi ní ìní.

And [they of] the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and [they of] the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.

20 Àwọn ìgbèkùn Israẹli tí ó wà ní Kenaani yóò ni ilẹ̀ títí dé Sarefati; àwọn ìgbèkùn láti Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà ní Sefaredi yóò ni àwọn ìlú gúúsù ní ìní.

And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.

21 Àwọn tó ń gba ni là yóò sì gòkè Sioni wá láti jẹ ọba lé orí àwọn òkè Esau. Ìjọba náà yóò sì jẹ́ ti Olúwa.

And saviors shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
