< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Yhwh concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from Yhwh, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Utvara Avdijeva. Ovako veli Gospod Gospod za Edomsku: èusmo glas od Gospoda, i glasnik bi poslan k narodima: ustajte, da ustanemo na nju u boj.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
Gle, uèiniæu te malijem meðu narodima, biæeš vrlo prezren.
3 The pride of thine 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?
Ponos srca tvojega prevari te, tebe, koji živiš u rasjelinama kamenijem, u visokom stanu svom, i govoriš u srcu svom: ko æe me oboriti na zemlju?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith Yhwh.
Da podigneš visoko kao orao i meðu zvijezde da metneš gnijezdo svoje, odande æu te oboriti, govori Gospod.
5 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 grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
Kako si oplijenjen? da su došli k tebi kradljivci ili lupeži noæu, ne bi li pokrali koliko im je dosta? da su došli k tebi beraèi vinogradski, ne bi li ostavili pabiraka?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Kako se pretraži Isav, kako se naðoše potaje njegove!
7 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 none understanding in him.
Do granice te odvedoše svi koji bijahu s tobom u vjeri, prevariše te i nadvladaše te koji bijahu u miru s tobom; koji jedu hljeb tvoj podmetnuše ti zamku, da se ne opazi.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith Yhwh, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
U onaj dan, govori Gospod, neæu li pogubiti mudre u zemlji Edomskoj i razumne u gori Isavovoj?
9 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.
I tvoji æe se junaci uplašiti, Temane, da se istrijebe pokoljem svi iz gore Isavove.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Za nasilje uèinjeno bratu tvojemu Jakovu pokriæe te stid i istrijebiæeš se zasvagda.
11 In the day that thou stoodest 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.
Onaj dan, kad ti stajaše nasuprot; onaj dan, kad inostranci odvoðahu u ropstvo vojsku njegovu, i tuðinci ulažahu na vrata njegova i bacahu ždrijeb za Jerusalim, bješe i ti kao koji od njih.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
Ali ti ne trebaše gledati dana brata svojega, dana, kad se odvoðaše u tuðu zemlju, niti se radovati sinovima Judinijem u dan kad propadahu, niti razvaljivati usta u dan nevolje njihove.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest 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;
Ne trebaše ti uæi na vrata naroda mojega u dan pogibli njihove, ne trebaše da i ti gledaš zlo njihovo u dan pogibli njihove ni da se mašaš dobra njihova u dan pogibli njihove.
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
Niti trebaše da staneš na rasputicu da ubijaš bježan njihovu, niti da izdaješ onijeh koji ostaše u dan nevolje.
15 For the day of Yhwh is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Jer je dan Gospodnji blizu svijem narodima; kako si èinio, tako æe ti biti, plata æe ti se vratiti na glavu tvoju.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
Jer kao što ste vi pili na svetoj gori mojoj, tako æe piti svi narodi vazda, piæe, i ždrijeæe, i biæe kao da ih nije bilo.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
A na gori æe Sionu biti spasenje, i biæe sveta, i dom æe Jakovljev naslijediti našljedstvo svoje.
18 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 Yhwh hath spoken it.
I dom æe Jakovljev biti oganj i dom Josifov plamen, a dom Isavov strnjika; i razgorjeæe se na njih, i spaliæe ih; i neæe biti ostatka domu Isavovu, jer Gospod reèe.
19 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.
I naslijediæe jug, goru Isavovu, i ravnicu, Filisteje; i naslijediæe polje Jefremovo i polje Samarijsko i Venijaminovo i Galad;
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
I zarobljena vojska sinova Izrailjevijeh naslijediæe što je bilo Hananejsko do Sarepte; a roblje Jerusalimsko, što je u Sefaradu, naslijediæe južne gradove.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Yhwh's.
I izbavitelji æe izaæi na goru Sion da sude gori Isavovoj, i carstvo æe biti Gospodnje.
