< Obadiya 1 >

1 Wahayin Obadiya. Ga abin da Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka ya ce a kan Edom. Mun ji saƙo daga wurin Ubangiji cewa, An aiki jakada zuwa ga al’ummai yă faɗa musu cewa, “Ku tashi, mu tafi mu yi yaƙi da ita.”
The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord Yahweh says about Edom. We have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let’s rise up against her in battle.
2 “Duba, zan maishe ki ƙarama a cikin al’ummai; za a rena ki ƙwarai.
Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
3 Fariyar zuciyarki ta yaudare ki, ke da kike zama can bisa duwatsu kika kuma yi gidanki a kan ƙwanƙoli, ke da kike ce wa kanki, ‘Wa zai iya saukar da ni ƙasa?’
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
4 Ko da yake kina firiya kamar gaggafa kin kuma yi sheƙarki a can cikin taurari, daga can zan saukar da ke,” in ji Ubangiji.
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.
5 “In ɓarayi suka zo miki, in kuma’yan fashi suka shigo gidan da dare, kash, bala’i zai jira ki ba abin da suke so ne kawai za su sata ba? In kuma masu tsinka’ya’yan inabi suka zo miki, ba sukan bar’ya’yan inabi kaɗan ba?
“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you—wouldn’t they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleaning grapes?
6 Amma za a washe Isuwa ƙaƙaf, a kuma yaye ɓoyayyiyar dukiyarsa!
How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!
7 Dukan waɗanda kike tarayya da su, za su kore ki zuwa iyaka; abokanki kuma za su yaudare ki, su kuma sha ƙarfinki; waɗanda suke cin abincinki, za su sa miki tarko, amma ba za ki gane ba.
All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.”
8 “A wannan rana,” in jin Ubangiji, “zan hallaka masu hikimar Edom, zan shafe mutane masu fahima a duwatsun Isuwa.
“Won’t I in that day”, says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
9 Jarumawanki, ya Teman, za su razana, za a kashe kowane mutum a duwatsun Isuwa.
Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10 Saboda halin kama-karyar da kika yi wa ɗan’uwanka Yaƙub, za ki sha kunya; za a hallaka ki har abada.
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11 A ranan nan kin tsaya kawai kina zuba ido yayinda baƙi suke washe dukiyar ɗan’uwanki, baƙi kuma suka shiga ta ƙofofinsa suka jefa ƙuri’a don a rarraba Urushalima, kin tsaya kina kallo kamar ɗaya daga cikin abokan gābansa.
In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance and foreigners entered into his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
12 Bai kamata ki rena ɗan’uwanki a ranar masifarsa ba, ko ki yi farin ciki a kan mutanen Yahuda a ranar hallakarsu, ko ki yi fariya sosai a ranar wahalarsu.
But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 Bai kamata ki bi ta ƙofofin mutanena a ranar bala’insu ba, ko ki rena su a cikin masifarsu a ranar bala’insu, ko ki ƙwace dukiyarsu a ranar bala’insu ba.
Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14 Bai kamata ki tsaya a mararraba don ki kashe waɗanda suke ƙoƙarin tserewa ba, ko ki ba da waɗanda suka tsere ga hannun maƙiyansu a ranar wahalarsu ba.
Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15 “Ranar Ubangiji ta yi kusa don dukan al’ummai. Kamar yadda kuka yi, haka za a yi muku; ayyukanku za su koma a kanku.
For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
16 Kamar yadda kuka sha a kan tuduna mai tsarki, haka dukan al’ummai za su yi ta sha, za su sha, su kuma sha su zama sai ka ce ba su taɓa kasancewa ba.
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
17 Amma a kan Dutsen Sihiyona za a sami ceto; Dutsen zai zama mai tsarki, gidan Yaƙub kuma zai mallaki gādonsa.
But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
18 Gidan Yaƙub zai zama kamar wuta, gidan Yusuf kuma kamar harshen wuta; gidan Isuwa zai zama kamar tattaka, za a kuma sa masa wuta yă ƙone. Babu wanda zai tsira daga gidan Isuwa.” Ni Ubangiji na faɗa.
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.
19 Mutane daga Negeb za su mamaye duwatsun Isuwa, mutane kuma daga gindin tuddai za su mallaki ƙasar Filistiyawa. Za su mamaye filayen Efraim da Samariya, Benyamin kuwa zai mallaki Gileyad.
Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 Wannan ƙungiyar Isra’ilawan da aka kwashe zuwa bauta da suke a Kan’ana za su mallaki ƙasar har zuwa Zarefat; waɗannan da aka kwashe zuwa bauta daga Urushalima da suke a Sefarad za su mallaki garuruwan Negeb.
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21 Masu kawo ceto za su haura zuwa Dutsen Sihiyona don su yi mulkin duwatsun Isuwa. Ubangiji ne zai yi mulki.
Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.
