Obadiah 1

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God against Edom, We haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent among the heathen: arise, and let vs rise vp against her to battel.

Ny fahitan’ i Obadia. Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah Tompo ny amin’ i Edoma: Nahare filazana avy tamin’ i Jehovah izahay, Ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin’ ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mitsangàna, aoka isika hitsangana hanafika azy!

2 Beholde, I haue made thee small among the heathen: thou art vtterly despised.

Indro, hataoko tsinontsinona eo amin’ ny firenena ianao, Eny, ho fanazimbazimba indrindra ianao.

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee: thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rockes, whose habitation is hie, that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me downe to the ground?

Ny avonavon’ ny fonao no namitaka anao, Ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, Any amin’ ny fonenana avo, Sady manao anakampo hoe: Iza no hampivarina ahy ho eny an-tany?

4 Though thou exalt thy selfe as the eagle, and make thy nest among the starres, thence will I bring thee downe, sayth the Lord.

Na dia miakatra tahaka ny voromahery aza ianao Ka mametraka ny akaninao eny amin’ ny kintana, Dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.

5 Came theeues to thee or robbers by night? howe wast thou brought to silence? woulde they not haue stolen, til they had ynough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, woulde they not leaue some grapes?

Raha, tahìny misy mpangalatra, na jiolahy alina, tonga ao aminao, (Indrisy, fongotra ianao!) Moa tsy izay hahafa-po azy ihany va no hangalariny? Raha tahìny misy mpioty voaloboka tonga ao aminao, Moa tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina va izy?

6 Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and his treasures searched?

Endrey ny fitady ny an’ i Esao! Endrey ny fikatsaka ny hareny miafina!

7 All the men of thy confederacie haue driuen thee to ye borders: the men that were at peace with thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against thee: they that eate thy bread, haue laid a wound vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding in him.

Ny olona rehetra izay vita fanekena taminao no nampandeha anao hatramin’ ny sisin-tany; Izay tsara fihavanana aminao no namitaka ka naharesy anao; Izay mihinana ny haninao no namela-pandrika ao ambaninao Tsy misy fahalalana ao aminy!

8 Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, euen destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding from the mount of Esau?

Moa tsy amin’ izany andro izany va, hoy Jehovah, no hamongorako ny olon-kendry ao Edoma, Sy ny manan-tsaina ao an-tendrombohitr’ i Esao?

9 And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide, because euery one of the mount of Esau shalbe cut off by slaughter.

Ary ho raiki-tahotra ny lehilahy maherinao, ry Temana, Mba haringana amin’ ny vonoana ho foana ny any an-tendrombohitr’ i Esao.

10 For thy crueltie against thy brother Iaakob, shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.

Noho ny fampahoriana an’ i Jakoba rahalahinao dia ho voasaron-kenatra ianao Ka ho fongotra mandrakizay.

11 When thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers caried away his substance, and straungers entred into his gates, and cast lots vpon Ierusalem, euen thou wast as one of them.

Tamin’ ilay andro namitsahanao teny am-pita, Tamin’ ny andro namaboan’ ny vahiny ny fananany, Sy nidiran’ ny hafa firenena teo amin’ ny vavahadiny, Ary nanaovany loka an’ i Jerosalema, Dia mba toy ny anankiray tamin’ ireny koa ianao.

12 But thou shouldest not haue beholden the day of thy brother, in the day that hee was made a stranger, neither shouldest thou haue reioyced ouer the children of Iudah, in the day of their destruction: thou shouldest not haue spoken proudly in the day of affliction.

Aza finaritra mijery ny andron’ ny rahalahinao amin’ ny andro ahitany loza izay tsy misy toa izany; Ary aza mifaly ny amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda amin’ ny andro andringanana azy; Ary aza manao teny miavonavona amin’ ny andro fahoriana

13 Thou shouldest not haue entred into the gate of my people, in the day of their destruction, neither shouldest thou haue once looked on their affliction in the day of their destruction, nor haue layde hands on their substance in the day of their destruction.

Aza miditra amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny oloko amin’ ny andro ahitany loza; Aza finaritra mijery ny fahantrany amin’ ny andro ahitany loza ianao, Ary aza maninji-tàna haka ny fananany amin’ ny andro ahitany loza

14 Neyther shouldest thou haue stande in the crosse wayes to cut off them, that shoulde escape, neither shouldest thou haue shut vp the remnant thereof in the day of affliction.

Aza mamitsaka eo amin’ ny sampanan-dalana hamono izay afa-nandositra ianao; Ary aza manolotra izay sisa aminy amin’ ny andro fahoriana.

15 For the day of the Lord is neere, vpon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall bee done to thee: thy reward shall returne vpon thine head.

Fa efa antomotra amin’ ny jentilisa rehetra ny andron’ i Jehovah; Toy ny nataonao no mba hatao aminao kosa; Eny, hitsingerina ho eo an-dohanao ny nataonao.

16 For as yee haue drunke vpon mine holy Mountaine, so shall all the heathen drinke continually: yea, they shall drinke and swallow vp, and they shalbe as though they had not bene.

Fa toy ny nisotroanareo teo an-tendrombohitra masìna, Dia toy izany koa no hisotroan’ ny firenena rehetra mandrakariva, Eny, hisotro izy ka hitelina, Ary ho toy ny tsy ary izy.

17 But vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance, and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall possesse their possessions,

Fa ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona dia hisy izay sisa afaka, Ary ho masìna izy; Ary ny taranak’ i Jakoba hahalasa ny fananany.

18 And the house of Iaakob shalbe a fire, and the house of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and deuoure them: and there shall bee no remnant of the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it.

Ny taranak’ i Jakoba ho afo, Ary ny taranak’ i Josefa ho lelafo, Fa ny taranak’ i Esao kosa ho vodivary, Ary harehitr’ ireny izy ka holevoniny; Ary tsy hisy sisa afaka ny taranak’ i Esao, Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.

19 And they shall possesse the South side of the mount of Esau, and the plaine of the Philistims: and they shall possesse the fieldes of Ephraim, and the fieldes of Samaria, and Beniamin shall haue Gilead.

Ny any amin’ ny tany atsimo no hahalasa ny tendrombohitr’ i Esao; Ary ny any amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka no hahalasa ny Filistina; Hahalasa ny tanin’ ny Efraima sy ny tany Samaria izy; Ary Benjamina hahalasa an’ i Gileada.

20 And the captiuitie of this host of the children of Israel, which were among the Canaanites, shall possesse vnto Zarephath, and the captiuitie of Ierusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possesse the cities of the South.

Ary ny babo amin’ izao Zanak’ Isiraely maro be izao hahalasa ny Kananita hatrany Zarefata, Ary ny babo tany Jerosalema, izay any Sefarada, dia hahalasa ny tanàna any amin’ ny tany atsimo.

21 And they that shall saue, shall come vp to mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the kingdome shalbe the Lords.

Ary hisy mpamonjy miakatra ho ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona Hitsara ny tendrombohitr’ i Esao; Ary ho an’ i Jehovah.
