Obadiah 1

Viđenje Obadijino. Ovako govori Jahve Gospod Edomu! Čuli smo vijest od Jahve, glasnik bi poslan k narodima: "Ustajte! Na nj u boj krenimo!"

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

"Jer gle, učinit ću te najmanjim među narodima, prezrenim veoma.

Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

Uznositost srca tvoga zavela te, tebe što živiš u pećinama kamenim, u visoku stanu svojemu, i u srcu svome zboriš: 'Tko li će me na zemlju skinuti?'

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

Da se vineš k'o orao, gnijezdo sviješ među zvijezdama, i odande skinut ću te" - riječ je Jahvina.

Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

"Dođu li k tebi lupeži il' kradljivci noćni, kako li ćeš biti oplijenjen! Neće li te okrasti po miloj volji? Dođu li trgači k tebi, zar će i pabirka ostaviti?

If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?

Kako li Edom bješe pretresen, skrivena mu skrovišta pretražena!

How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

Do granica te potjeraše, svi te saveznici tvoji prevariše, nadvladaše te tvoji prijatelji! Oni što kruh tvoj jedu zamku ti staviše: 'Sasvim je bez uma!'

All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.

Neću li u dan onaj - riječ je Jahvina - uništit' mudraca u Edomu i razum iz gore Ezavljeve?

Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

Ratnike tvoje, Temane, užas će spopasti, i posljednji će biti istrijebljen na gori Ezavljevoj." "Za pokolj

And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

i nasilje nad bratom svojim Jakovom sram će te pokriti i nestat ćeš zasvagda.

For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

U dan onaj kad stajaše postrance, dok mu tuđinci blago odvodiše, dok stranci ulažahu na vrata njegova i ždrijeb bacahu za Jeruzalem, ti bijaše kao jedan od njih.

In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

Ne naslađuj se bratu u dan nesreće njegove! Ne likuj nad sinovima judejskim u dan propasti njine! Ne razvaljuj usta u dan tjeskobni!

But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

Ne provaljuj na vrata naroda moga u dan nesreće njegove! Ne naslađuj se njegovom propašću u dan nesreće njegove! Ne pružaj ruke na imanje njegovo u dan nesreće njegove!

Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;

Ne stoj na raskršćima da pobiješ njegove bjegunce! Ne izdaji preživjelih njegovih u dan tjeskobni!"

Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.

Jer blizu je Jahvin dan svima narodima! Dat će ti se milo za drago, tvoja će djela na tvoju glavu pasti.

For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

"Jest, kako vi piste na svetoj mi gori, pit će svi narodi bez oduška, pit će i iskapiti - i bit će k'o da ih nigda bilo nije.

For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Al' na gori Sionu bit će spasenici - postat će sveta - i dom će Jakovljev baštiniti svoju baštinu.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

Dom će Jakovljev biti oganj, dom Josipov plamen, dom Ezavljev strnjika. Potpalit će ga i proždrijeti, i od doma Ezavljeva nitko neće ostati" - riječ je Jahvina.

And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

Žitelji negepski baštinit će goru Ezavljevu, žitelji Šefele zemlju filistejsku; baštinit će kraj Efrajimov i kraj samarijski, a Benjamin će baštiniti Gilead.

And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

A izgnana nekoć vojska sinova Izraelovih baštinit će Kanaan sve do Sarfate; izgnanici jeruzalemski što su u Sefaradu baštinit će gradove negepske.

And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.

Izbavitelji će uzaći na goru Sion da sude gori Ezavljevoj. I tada će nastat' kraljevstvo Jahvino.

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
