< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent amongst the nations, saying, “Arise, and let’s rise up against her in battle.
Abdíjevo videnje. Tako govori Gospod Bog glede Edóma: »Slišali smo govorico od Gospoda in predstavnik je poslan med pogane: ›Vstanite in vzdignimo se v bitki zoper njega.‹
2 Behold, I have made you small amongst the nations. You are greatly despised.
Glej, naredil sem te majhnega med pogani, silno si preziran.
3 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?’
Ponos tvojega srca te je zavedel, ti, ki prebivaš v skalnih razpokah, katerega prebivališče je visoko, ki v svojem srcu praviš: ›Kdo me bo privedel dol na tla?‹
4 Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set amongst the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says the LORD.
Čeprav se povišuješ kakor orel in čeprav si svoje gnezdo postavil med zvezde, te bom od tam privedel dol, ‹ govori Gospod.
5 “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?
›Če pridejo k tebi tatovi, če roparji ponoči (kako si iztrebljen!), mar ne bodo kradli, dokler nimajo dovolj? Če pridejo k tebi obiralci grozdja, mar ne bodo pustili nekaj grozdov?
6 How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!
Kako so Ezavove stvari preiskane! Kako so njegove skrite stvari poiskane!
7 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.”
Vsi možje tvoje zaveze so te privedli, celó k meji. Možje, ki so bili v miru s teboj, so te zavedli in prevladali zoper tebe. Tisti, ki jedo tvoj kruh, so položili rano pod teboj. Nobenega razumevanja ni v njem.
8 “Won’t I in that day”, says the LORD, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?
Mar ne bom na ta dan, ‹ govori Gospod, ›celo uničil modre može iz Edóma in razumevanje z Ezavove gore?
9 Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
In tvoji mogočni ljudje, oh Temán, bodo zaprepadeni do konca, z namenom, da bo vsakdo z Ezavove gore iztrebljen s pokolom.
10 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
Zaradi tvojega nasilja zoper tvojega brata Jakoba te bo pokrila sramota in iztrebljen boš na veke.
11 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.
Na dan, ko stojiš na drugi strani, na dan, ko tujci odvedejo njegove sile ujete in tuji ljudje vstopijo v njegova velika vrata in mečejo žrebe nad Jeruzalemom, si bil celo ti kakor eden izmed njih.
12 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.
Toda ne bi smel gledati na dan svojega brata, na dan, ko je postal tujec, niti ne bi smel imeti veselja nad Judovimi otroki na dan njihovega uničenja, niti ne bi smel ponosno govoriti na dan tegobe.
13 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.
Ne bi smel vstopiti v velika vrata mojega ljudstva na dan njihove katastrofe. Da, ne bi smel gledati na njihovo stisko na dan njihove katastrofe niti rok položiti na njihovo imetje na dan njihove katastrofe;
14 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.
niti ne bi smel stati na razpotju, da bi iztrebil tiste izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili; niti ne bi smel izročiti tistih izmed njegovih, ki so pobegnili na dan stiske.
15 For the day of the LORD is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
Kajti dan Gospodov je blizu nad vsemi pogani. Kakor si ti storil, tako bo storjeno tebi. Tvoja nagrada se bo povrnila na tvojo lastno glavo.
16 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.
Kajti kakor ste pili na moji sveti gori, tako bodo vsi pogani nenehno pili, da, pili bodo in bodo požirali in bodo, kot da jih ni bilo.
17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
Toda na gori Sion bo osvoboditev in tam bo svetost, in Jakobova hiša bo v last vzela njihove posesti.
18 The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn amongst them and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
Jakobova hiša bo ogenj in Jožefova hiša plamen, Ezavova hiša pa strnišče in v njih se bodo vneli in jih požrli, in tam ne bo nobenega ostanka Ezavove hiše, kajti Gospod je to govoril.
19 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.
Tisti iz juga bodo vzeli v last goro Ezav, in tisti iz ravnine Filistejce in vzeli bodo v last Efrájimova polja in polja Samarije, Benjamin pa bo posedel Gileád.
20 The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are amongst the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
Ujetništvo te vojske Izraelovih otrok bo vzelo v last to od Kánaancev, celó do Zarepte; in ujetništvo Jeruzalema, ki je v Sefarádu, bo posedlo južna mesta.
21 Saviours will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD’s.
Rešitelji bodo prišli na goro Sion, da sodijo Ezavovo goro, in kraljestvo bo Gospodovo.‹«
