< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah; what the Lord said about Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, a messenger has been sent among the nations; Rise up, let us rise against Edom in battle!
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.”
2 I will make you small among the nations, and despised by all!
“Kíyèsi i, Èmi yóò sọ ọ́ di kékeré láàrín àwọn kèfèrí; ìwọ yóò sì di gígàn lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
3 Your proud heart has misled you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, you who build on high your dwelling. You say to yourselves, “Who can bring me down to earth?”
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?’
4 Though you build high as the eagle, though between the stars you set your nest, from there will I bring you down, says the Lord.
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.
5 If thieves had come to you, marauders by night would they not have stolen only as much as they needed? If grape-gatherers had come to you would they not have left some gleanings?
“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?
6 Descendents of Esau, all your treasures are looted.
Báwo ni a ṣe ṣe àwárí nǹkan Esau, tí a sì wá ohun ìní ìkọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ jáde.
7 To your border they have driven you, all your allies have betrayed you. Your avowed friends have overpowered you, they have set a trap for you. Where is your wisdom now?
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.”
8 The Lord says: On that day, I will destroy the wise of Edom, drive wisdom out of Mount Esau.
Olúwa wí pé, “Ní ọjọ́ náà, Èmi kì yóò ha pa àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n Edomu run, àti àwọn amòye run kúrò ní òkè Esau?
9 Your warriors will be filled with terror, Teman, none will be left alive on Mount Esau.
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.
10 Because of the violence done to your relatives, the people of Jacob, shame covers you, you are cut off forever.
Nítorí ìwà ipá sí Jakọbu arákùnrin rẹ, ìtìjú yóò bò ọ, a ó sì pa ọ run títí láé.
11 In the day when you stood aloof, in the day when strangers carried away their wealth, and strangers entered into their gates, and over Jerusalem cast lots, you were as one of those strangers.
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.
12 You should not have gloated over your relatives, in the day of their misfortune. You should not have exulted over the land of Judah in the day of their destruction. You should not have laughed loudly at their distress.
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.
13 You should not have entered in at the gate of my people in the day of their disaster. You should not have gloated over their calamity, in the day of their disaster, nor stretched out your hand after their wealth in the day of their disaster,
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.
14 nor stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor should you have betrayed their refugees in the day of distress.
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.
15 Near at hand is the Lord’s day for all the nations. As you have done so will it be done to you. Your deeds will come back on your own head.
“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.
16 As you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink in turn; They will drink deep and be as though they had not been.
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.
17 But on Mount Zion some will escape, it will be again holy, and those of the house of Jacob will again enter into their possessions.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìgbàlà yóò wà lórí òkè Sioni, wọn yóò sì jẹ́ mímọ́, àti ilé Jakọbu yóò sì ní ìní wọn.
18 For the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will become stubble. They will kindle and devour it. Not even one of the house of Esau will escape, for the Lord has spoken.
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.
19 They will possess the Negeb and Mount Esau, and the Shephelah of the Philistines. They will possess the territory of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
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.
20 The exiles of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negreb.
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.
21 The rescued will come up on Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom will belong to the Lord.
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.
