Obadiah 1
1 Visioun of Abdias. The Lord God seith these thingis to Edom. We herden an heryng of the Lord, and he sente a messanger to hethene men. Rise ye, and togidere rise we ayens hym in to batel.
Anisoadehunu a Awurade Onyankopɔn daa no adi faa Edom asase ho kyerɛɛ Obadia nie: Yɛate asɛm a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn. Wɔsomaa ɔnanmusini bi kɔɔ aman so kɔkaa sɛ, “Monsɔre na momma yɛnkɔko ntia Edom.”
2 Lo! Y yaf thee litil in hethene men, thou art ful myche `worthi to be dispisid.
Awurade ka kyerɛ Edom sɛ: “Hwɛ mɛbrɛ wo ase, mɛyɛ wo akumaa wɔ aman no mu, na wɔabu wo animtia.
3 The pride of thin herte enhaunside thee, dwellynge in crasyngis of stoonys, areisynge thi seete. Whiche seist in thin herte, Who schal drawe me doun in to erthe?
Wayɛ ahantan adaadaa wo ho, Wo a wote abotan ntokuro mu na wayɛ wʼatenaeɛ wɔ mmepɔ so, na woka kyerɛ wo ho sɛ, ‘Hwan na ɔbɛtumi ayi me asi fam?’
4 Thouy thou schalt be reisid as an egle, and thouy thou schalt putte thi nest among sterris, fro thennus Y schal drawe thee doun, seith the Lord.
Sɛ wotu kɔ ewiem sɛ akɔdeɛ, na woyɛ wo pirebuo wɔ nsoromma ntam mpo a, ɛhɔ na mɛba abɛtwe wo adwera fam.” Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
5 If niyt theuys hadden entrid to thee, if outlawis bi niyt, hou schuldist thou haue be stille? whether thei schulden not haue stole thingis ynow to hem? If gadereris of grapis hadden entrid to thee, whether thei schulden haue left nameli clustris to thee?
“Sɛ akorɔmfoɔ ba wo so a, anaa adwotwafoɔ ba wo so anadwo a, atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛn na ɛrento wo? Na wɔrenwia wo nneɛma dodoɔ a wɔpɛ anaa? Sɛ bobe abatefoɔ ba wo so a, ɛnyɛ bobe aba kakra bi pɛ na wɔbɛgya wo anaa?
6 Hou souyten thei Esau, serchiden the hid thingis of him?
Na wo Esau deɛ wɔbɛwia wʼademudeɛ a wode asie na wɔayɛ wo dosodoso.
7 Til to the termes thei senten out thee; and alle men of thi couenaunt of pees scorneden thee, men of thi pees wexiden stronge ayens thee; thei that schulen ete with thee, schulen put aspies, ether tresouns, vndur thee; ther is no prudence in hym.
Wɔn a wo ne wɔn wɔ nkabom nyinaa bɛdi wo hwammɔ. Wɔn a wʼadwene yɛ wo sɛ wo ne wɔn te asomdwoeɛ mu no bɛdaadaa wo adi wo so, wɔn a wɔdi wʼaduane no asum wo afidie, nanso, wonhunuiɛ.
8 Whether not in that dai, seith the Lord, Y schal lese the wise men of Idumee, and prudence of the mount of Esau?
“Saa ɛda no,” Awurade na ɔseɛ, “Merensɛe anyansafoɔ a ɛwɔ Edom anaa, mmarima a wɔte asɛm ase a wɔwɔ Esau mmepɔ so anaa?
9 And thi stronge men schulen drede of myddai, that a man of the hil of Esau perische.
Ao Teman wʼakofoɔ bɛbɔ hu ne obiara a ɔwɔ Esau bepɔ so no, wɔbɛtwitwa mo atɔre mo ase.
10 For sleyng and for wickidnesse ayens thi brother Jacob, confusioun schal hile thee, and thou schalt perische with outen ende.
Esiane basabasayɛ a woyɛ tiaa wo nua Yakob no enti aniwuo bɛka wo, na wɔbɛsɛe wo koraa.
11 In the dai whanne thou stodist ayens hym, whanne aliens token the oost of hym, and straungeris entriden the yatis of hym, and senten lot on Jerusalem, thou were also as oon of hem.
Ɛda a wogyinaa ntentenso hwɛɛ no haa, na ananafoɔ faa nʼahonyadeɛ kɔeɛ na ahɔhoɔ hyɛnee ne kuro apono mu, na wɔbɔɔ Yerusalem so ntonto no, na wote sɛ wɔn mu baako.
12 And thou schalt not dispise in the dai of thi brother, in the dai of his pilgrimage, and thou schalt not be glad on the sones of Juda, in the dai of perdicioun of hem; and thou schalt not magnefie thi mouth in the dai of angwisch,
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wobu wo nua animtiaa ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ asaneɛ mu, anaa sɛ wodi ahurisie wɔ Yudafoɔ so ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ɔsɛeɛ mu, na mpo wohoahoa wo ho ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ahohiahia mu no.
13 nether schalt entre in to the yate of my puple, in the dai of fallyng of hem; and thou schalt not dispise in the yuels of hym, in the dai of his distriyng; and thou schalt not be sent out ayens his oost, in the day of his distriyng;
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode nsrabɔ hyɛne me nkurɔfoɔ kuro apono no mu wɔ wɔn amanehunu ɛda, anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wosere wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ ɔhaw mu. Afei nso anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wode wo nsa to wɔn ahodeɛ so gye wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ amanehunu mu.
14 nether thou schalt stonde in the goynges out, that thou sle hem that fledden; and thou schalt not close togidere the residues, ether left men, of hym, in the day of tribulacioun,
Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ wotɛ wɔn nkwantanan soɔ kunkumm nʼadwanefoɔ Na woyi wɔn a aka no ma wɔ wɔn amanehunu ɛda no mu.
15 for the dai of the Lord is niy on alle `hethene men. As thou hast doon, it schal be doon to thee; he schal conuerte thi yeldyng in to thin heed.
“Awurade ɛda no abɛn ama amanaman nyinaa. Na hwɛ, Edom sɛdeɛ woyɛeɛ no saa ara na wɔbɛyɛ woɔ. Wo nneyɛeɛ bɛsane abɛgu wo tiriso.
16 For as ye drunken on myn hooli hil, alle hethene men schulen drynke bisili, and thei schulen drynke, and schulen soupe vp; and thei schulen be as if thei ben not.
Sɛdeɛ mononom nsã wɔ me bepɔ kronkron so no, saa ara na amanaman no nyinaa bɛkɔ so anom, saa ara na ɛbɛkɔ so ɛda biara na wɔbɛyɛ te sɛ deɛ wonni hɔ.
17 And saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion, and it schal be hooli; and the hous of Jacob schal welde hem whiche weldiden hem.
Na ɔgyeɛ bɛba Sion bepɔ so na ɛbɛyɛ kronkron beaeɛ, na Yakob efie nsa bɛsane aka nʼagyapadeɛ.
18 And the hous of Jacob schal be fier, and the hous of Joseph schal be flawme, and the hous of Esau schal be stobil; and `thei schulen be kyndlid in hem, and thei schulen deuoure hem; and relifs schulen not be of the hous of Esau, for the Lord spak.
Yakob efie bɛyɛ ogya na Yosef efie ayɛ ogyaframa; Esau efie deɛ ɛbɛyɛ adehunu bi na wɔde ogya bɛto mu ahye no a obiara renka wɔ efie hɔ.” Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
19 And these that ben at the south, schulen enherite the hil of Esau; and thei that ben in the lowe feeldis, schulen enherite Filistiym; and thei schulen welde the cuntrei of Effraym, and cuntrei of Samarie; and Beniamyn schal welde Galaad.
Nkurɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Negeb no bɛtena Esau mmepɔ so, Na wɔn a wɔfiri nkokoɔ no ase no, bɛfa Filistia asase no, na wɔbɛfa Efraim ne Samaria mfuo atena so, na Benyamin nso afa Gilead.
20 And ouerpassyng of this oost of sones of Israel schal welde alle places of Cananeis, til to Sarepta; and the transmygracioun of Jerusalem, that is in Bosphoro, schal welde citees of the south.
Nipakuo a wɔyɛ Israel atukɔfoɔ bɛfa Kanaan asase no akɔsi Sarefat; na atukɔfoɔ a wɔfiri Yerusalem a wɔte Safarad no bɛfa Negeb nkuro no adi so.
21 And sauyours schulen stie in to the hil of Sion, for to deme the hil of Esau, and a rewme schal be to the Lord.
Agyefoɔ bɛkɔ Sion bepɔ so, akɔdi Edom mmepɔ so. Na ahennie no bɛyɛ Awurade dea!
