Obadia 1

1 KA wanana a Obadia. Peneia ka Iehova ka Haku i olelo mai ai no Edoma; Ua lohe kakou i ka lohe ana mai Iehova mai, Ua hoounaia'ku ka elele iwaena o na lahuikanaka; E ku oukou iluna, a e ala ku e kakou ia ia i ke kaua.

The vision of Obdias. Thus says the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.

2 Aia hoi, ua hoolilo au ia oe i mea uuku iwaena o na lahuikanaka; Ua lilo oe i mea hoowahawaha loa ia.

Arise you, and let us rise up against her to war.

3 Ua hoopunipuni ka haaheo o kou naau ia oe, E ka mea e noho ana ma na ana o ka pohaku, He wahi kiekie kou noho ana; E olelo ana ma kou naau, Na wai la au e lawe iho ilalo i ka honua?

Behold, I have made you small among the Gentiles: you are greatly dishonored. The pride of your heart has elated you, dwelling [as you do] in the holes of the rocks, [as one that] exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?

4 Ina e hookiekie oe ia oe iho e like me ka aeto, Ina e hoonoho i kou punana iwaena o na hoku, Malaila mai e lawe iho ai au ia oe ilalo, wahi a Iehova.

If you should mount up as the eagle, and if you should make your nest among the stars, thence will I bring you down, says the Lord.

5 Ina i hele mai na aihue i ou la, ina he poe powa i ka po, (Nani kou lukuia!) aole anei lakou e aihue, a pau ko lakou makemake? Ina i hele mai na ohi waina i ou la, aole anei lakou e waiho aku i ke koena?

If thieves came in to you, or robbers by night, where would you have been cast away? would they not have stolen [just] enough for themselves? and if grape gatherers went in to you, would they not leave a gleaning?

6 Nani ka imiia o ka Esau! I huliia hoi kona mau wahi huna!

How has Esau been searched out, and [how] have his hidden things been detected?

7 O na kanaka a pau o kau berita, ua hoouna aku lakou ia oe a i ka palena; O na kanaka e kuikahi ana me oe, ua wahahee lakou ia oe, a ua lanakila lakou maluna ou; O ka poe e ai ana i kau berena, ua waiho lakou i ka hei malalo iho ou; Aohe naauao iloko ona.

They sent you to your coasts: all the men of your covenant have withstood you; your allies have prevailed against you, they have set snares under you: they have no understanding.

8 Aole anei au e luku aku i ka poe ike, mai Edoma aku ia la, wahi a Iehova, A me ka naauao mai ka mauna o Esau aku?

In that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.

9 A e weliweli kou poe kanaka ikaika, e Temana, I okiiak'u kela kanaka keia kanaka, mai ka mauna o Esau aku.

And your warriors from Thaeman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.

10 No ka luku ana a no ka hana ino i kou hoahanau ia Iakoba, e uhi mai ka hilahila ia oe, A e luku loa ia'ku oe.

Because of the slaughter and the sin [committed against] your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off for ever.

11 I ka la i ku ai oe ma kela aoao, I ka la i lawe pio aku ai na malihini i kona ikaika, A komo ko na aina e iloko o kona mau pukapa, A hailona lakou no Ierusalema, Ua like hoi oe me kekahi o lakou.

From the day that you stood in opposition [to him], in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, you also was as one of them.

12 Aole nae i pono kou nana ana i ka la o kou hoahanau, I ka la o kona malihini ana; Aole hoi he pono kou hauoli ana maluna o na mamo a Iuda, I ka la i lukuia'i lakou; Aole pono kau olelo hookiekie ana i ka wa i pilikia'i lakou.

And you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day of strangers; nor should you have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither should you have boasted in the day of [their] affliction.

13 Aole pono kou komo ana iloko o ka puka o ko'u poe kanaka, i ka la o ko lakou make; Aohe pono kou nana ana i ko lakou poino i ka la i make ai lakou, A me kou kau ana i kou lima maluna o kona waiwai i ka la o kona lukuia ana.

Neither should you have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet should you have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor should you have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.

14 Aohe pono kou ku ana ma ka huina alanui e oki aku i kona poe i pakele; Aohe pono kou haawi lilo ana i kona poe i koe, i ka la pilikia.

Neither should you have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither should you have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.

15 No ka mea, ua kokoke mai ka la o Iehova maluna o na lahuikanaka a pau: Like me kau i hana aku ai, pela e hanaia mai ai oe: O kau hoopai ana, e hoihoiia mai ia maluna o kou poo.

For the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as you have done, so shall it be [done] to you: your recompense shall be returned on your [own] head.

16 No ka mea, like me oukou i inu ai maluna o ko'u mauna hoano, Pela e inu mau ai na lahuikanaka a pau; A e inu lakou, a e moni iho, A e like auanei lakou me na mea ole.

For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.

17 Aka, ma ka mauna o Ziona he mea e pakele ai, a he mea laa; A e loaa i ko ka hale o Iakoba ko lakou noho ana.

But on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.

18 A lilo ko ka hale o Iakoba i ahi, A o ko ka hale o Iosepa i lapalapa; A o ko ka hale o Esau i opala, A e hoaa iwaena o lakou, a e hoopau ia lakou; Aohe mea e koe ana o ko ka hale o Esau; No ka mea, o Iehova ka i olelo mai.

And the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble; and [Israel] shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field [left] to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.

19 A e loaa i ko ke kukuluhema ka mauna o Esau, A i ko ka papu ko Pilisetia: A e lilo no lakou ka aina o Eperaima, a me ka aina o Samaria; A e lilo o Gileada no Beniamina.

And they [that dwell] in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.

20 A o ka poe pio o keia poe kaua o na mamo a Iseraela, e lilo no lakou ko Kanaana a hiki i Zarepata; A o ka poe pio no Ierusalema ma Separada, e lilo no lakou na kulanakauhale o ke kukuluhema.

And this [shall be] the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem [shall inherit] as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.

21 A e pii mai na mea hoola ma ka mauna Ziona, e hoopai i ka mauna o Esau; A e lilo ke aupuni no Iehova.

And they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
