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!
Emoniseli ya mosakoli Abidiasi. Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na Edomi: « Toyoki sango moko kowuta na Yawe; mpe ntoma moko atindami na bikolo mpo na koloba: ‹ Botelema. Tokende kobundisa Edomi. ›
2 I will make you small among the nations, and despised by all!
Tala, nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, mpe okosambwa makasi.
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?”
Lolendo ya motema na yo ekosaki yo, yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba mpe omilobelaka: ‹ Nani akokweyisa ngai na se? ›
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.
Ata soki omati likolo makasi lokola mpongo mpe otongi zala na yo kati na minzoto, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
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?
« Soki miyibi to babebisi babimeli yo na butu, likama ya ndenge nini ezali kozela yo? Boni, bakozwa kaka biloko oyo bazali na yango posa te? Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, boni, bakotika ata ndambo ya maboke ya vino?
6 Descendents of Esau, all your treasures are looted.
Kasi tala ndenge babimeli Ezawu! Babotoli ye biloko na ye ya motuya oyo ebombama!
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?
Bikolo nyonso oyo osalaki elongo na yango boyokani ekobengana yo na mokili na yo; baninga na yo bakokosa yo, bakokonza yo. Ba-oyo bazalaki kolia lipa na yo bakotiela yo motambo. Kasi yo, okoyeba yango te mpo ete okozala lisusu na mayele te.
8 The Lord says: On that day, I will destroy the wise of Edom, drive wisdom out of Mount Esau.
Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « nakoboma bato ya bwanya ya Edomi mpe nakolongola bato ya mayele na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu.
9 Your warriors will be filled with terror, Teman, none will be left alive on Mount Esau.
Temani, basoda na yo ya mpiko bakolenga na somo, mpe bavandi nyonso ya bangomba ya Ezawu bakokufa na mopanga!
10 Because of the violence done to your relatives, the people of Jacob, shame covers you, you are cut off forever.
Mpo na mabe oyo osalaki Jakobi, ndeko na yo, okotonda na soni okobebisama mpo na libela.
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.
Ozalaki kotala kaka bongo tango bato mosusu bazalaki kokende mpe komema bozwi na ye nyonso. Mpe tango bapaya bakotaki kati na engumba na ye, babetaki zeke mpo na kokabola bomengo ya bitumba ya Yelusalemi. Yo mpe osalaki kaka lokola bango.
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.
Nzokande, osengelaki te kosepela komona pasi ya ndeko na yo to kosepela komona kobebisama ya bato ya Yuda to mpe kosala lofundu na mokolo ya pasi na bango.
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,
Osengelaki te kokota na engumba ya bato na Ngai na mokolo ya pasi na bango to kosepela komona kobebisama na bango to mpe kobotola bozwi na bango nyonso na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
14 nor stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor should you have betrayed their refugees in the day of distress.
Osengelaki te kotelema na esika oyo banzela ekutana mpo na koboma bato na bango, oyo bazalaki kokima pasi to mpe kokaba na maboko ya banguna bato na bango, oyo babikaki na mokolo oyo bazalaki na pasi makasi.
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.
Mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene mpo na bikolo nyonso. Bakosala yo kaka makambo oyo yo osalaki, bongo mabe oyo osalaki ekozongela yo.
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.
Ndenge ozalaki komela na likolo ya ngomba na Ngai ya bule, ndenge wana mpe bikolo bakokoma komela tango nyonso; bakomela, bakomela lisusu koleka mpe bakosila lokola nde batikala kozala te.
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.
Kasi bato oyo bakobika bakokimela na ngomba Siona; ngomba yango ekokoma lisusu bule, mpe bato ya Jakobi bakozongela lisusu libula na bango.
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.
Bato ya Jakobi bakokoma lokola moto, libota ya Jozefi ekokoma lokola lolemo ya moto. Kasi libota ya Ezawu ekokoma lokola matiti, bongo moto ya libota ya Jakobi mpe ya Jozefi ekozikisa yango. Boye, kati na bana ya Ezawu, moto ata moko te akotikala na bomoi, » elobi Yawe.
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.
Bato oyo bakowuta na Negevi bakovanda na etuka ya bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe ba-oyo bavandaka na etando ya se ya lubwaku bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Filisitia. Bakozwa etuka ya Efrayimi mpe ya Samari, mpe bato ya Benjame bakozwa Galadi.
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.
Bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na bowumbu bakozwa mokili ya bato ya Kanana kino na Sarepita; bongo bato ya Yelusalemi oyo bazalaki na bowumbu na Sefaradi bakozwa bingumba ya Negevi.
21 The rescued will come up on Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom will belong to the Lord.
Babikisi bakomata na ngomba Siona mpo na koyangela bangomba ya Ezawu, mpe Yawe akokoma Mokonzi.
