¹The 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.

¹Aßan aßin li quicßutbesîc chiru laj Abdías saß li visión xban li Dios chirixeb laj Edom: Xkabi resil li quixye li Kâcuaß. Jun li takl cô saß eb li jalan tenamit chixyebal reheb: —Cauresihomak êrib ut yôkeb chi pletic riqßuineb laj Edom.

²Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

²Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye reheb laj Edom li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú: —Lâin tincuisi lê cuanquil chiruheb li jalan tenamit. Ut tzßektânanbilakex chic xbaneb.

³The 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?

³Xebalakßi êrib êjunes xban lê kßetkßetil. Xeyîb lê naßaj toj saß xbên li tzûl saß xyânkeb li nînki pec ut nequeye saß êchßôl, ¿Ani ta biß târûk tâtaßok ke arin? Arin mâ ani tânumtâk saß kabên, chanquex.

⁴Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

⁴Usta nequeyîb lê naßaj toj takecß joß nak naxyîb xsoc li cßuch, abanan toj aran texintau chak. Ut usta têyîb lê naßaj toj saß xyânkeb li chahim, abanan toj aran texincubsi chak, chan li Kâcuaß.

⁵If 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?

⁵Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Us raj chokß êre nak aj êlkß ta teßchâlk chiru kßojyîn chi elkßâc êriqßuin. Teßxcßam raj caßaj cuiß li joß qßuial teßraj. Ut cui teßxsicß li ru li uvas, ¿ma incßaß ta biß teßxcanab raj caßchßinak chic êre? Abanan, eb li xicß nequeßiloc êre, teßchâlk ut teßxsach êru chi junaj cua.

⁶How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

⁶Chixjunil tâmakßekß chêru lâex li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú. Usta mukmûk raj êban li kßaxal lokß chêru, abanan teßxsicß toj retal teßxcßam chêru chixjunil.

⁷All 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; that they eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.

⁷Eb li xnînkal ru tenamit li queßtenkßan êre junxil, xicß chic texril ut aßaneb ajcuiß teßisînk êre saß lê tenamit. Lê ramîg li nequeßcuaßac êriqßuin, xicß chic texril. Cßojcßo raj êchßôl riqßuineb, abanan aßaneb ajcuiß teßqßuehok li raßal re nak texchapekß chi incßaß têqßue retal.

⁸Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

⁸Li Kâcuaß quixye: —Nak tebinqßue chixtojbal rix lix mâqueb laj Edom, tinsach ruheb li cuanqueb xnaßleb saß xyânkeb aßan. Lâin tinsach ruheb laj qßuehol naßleb li cuanqueb saß li tzûl saß lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú.

⁹And 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.

⁹Sicsotkeb xbaneb xxiu li cauheb rib chi pletic saß li tenamit Temán. Ut telajeßsachekß ruheb chixjunileb li cuanqueb saß li tzûl saß lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú.

¹⁰For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

¹⁰Lâex aj Edom, ralal xcßajolex laj Esaú, tâcßutekß êxutân ut texsachekß chi junaj cua xban li mâusilal li quebânu reheb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob, li rîtzßin lê xeßtônil yucuaß.

¹¹In 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.

¹¹Li queßchal saß jalan tenamit, li xicß nequeßiloc reheb, queßxtßan li oquebâl re li tenamit Jerusalén ut queßnumta saß xbêneb. Lâex cuanquex aran ut mâcßaß quebânu re xtenkßanquileb laj Judá. Chanchan ajcuiß lâex jun saß xyânkeb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb xban nak incßaß quetenkßaheb nak queßmakßeß chiruheb li cßaßru cuan reheb.

¹²But 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.

¹²Incßaß raj xsahoß êchßôl saß li cutan nak li ralal xcßajol li rîtzßin lê xeßtônil yucuaß yôqueb chixcßulbal li raylal. Incßaß raj xsahoß saß êchßôl chirilbaleb laj Judá nak queßrahobtesîc. Ut incßaß raj xehobeb nak xeßnumta li xicß nequeßiloc reheb saß xbêneb.

¹³Thou 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;

¹³Incßaß raj xex-oc Jerusalén saß xtenamiteb li cualal incßajol saß eb li cutan nak yôqueb chixcßulbal li raylal. Incßaß raj xsahoß saß êchßôl nak queßsacheß. Ut incßaß raj xerelkßa li cßaßruheb re nak xeßxcßul li raylal.

¹⁴Neither 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.

¹⁴Incßaß raj xexakab êrib saß xâla be chixrambaleb li yôqueb chi êlelic. Ut incßaß raj xecamsiheb. Incßaß raj xechapeb li queßcana ut incßaß raj xekßaxtesiheb cuißchic saß rukßeb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb saß li cutan nak yôqueb chixcßulbal li raylal.

¹⁵For 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.

¹⁵Joß xebânu reheb laj Judá, joßcan ajcuiß têcßul lâex. Lâex têcßul lê kßajcâmunquil. Cuulac re xkßehil nak lâin li Kâcuaß tinrakok âtin saß xbêneb chixjunileb li jalanil tenamit. Ut tinrakok ajcuiß âtin saß êbên lâex.

¹⁶For 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.

¹⁶Joß nak xerecßa xcßahil li rahobtesîc lâex saß lin tzûl Sión, joßcan ajcuiß nak teßrecßa xcßahil li rahobtesîc chixjunileb li tenamit toj retal teßosokß.

¹⁷But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

¹⁷Abanan eb li cuanqueb saß li tzûl Sión teßcolekß. Ut teßsantobresîk. Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob teßrêchani cuißchic lix naßajeb.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob chanchanakeb li xam. Eb li ralal xcßajol laj José chanchanakeb li rakß xam. Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú chanchan nak nacßat li qßuim nak teßosokß. Teßsachekß ruheb chi junaj cua li ralal xcßajol laj Esaú. Mâ jun saß xyânkeb teßcolekß. Lâin li Kâcuaß xinyehoc re aßin.

¹⁹And 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.

¹⁹Eb laj Israel li cuanqueb aran Neguev, aßaneb li teßêchanînk re li tzûl saß lix naßajeb laj Esaú. Ut eb laj Israel li cuanqueb saß li ru takßa Sefela, aßaneb li teßêchanînk re lix chßochßeb laj filisteo. Ut aßaneb ajcuiß li teßêchanînk re lix chßochßeb laj Efraín ut lix chßochßeb laj Samaria. Ut eb li ralal xcßajol laj Benjamín, aßaneb li teßêchanînk re li naßajej Galaad.

²⁰And 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.

²⁰Eb laj Israel li queßchapeß ut queßcßameß chi najt, aßaneb li teßêchanînk re lix chßochßeb laj cananeo. Tâcuulak toj saß li tenamit Sarepta.

Ut li Kâcuaß, aßan tâcuânk xcuanquil saß xbêneb.

²¹And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.

²¹Ut eb laj Israel li queßnumta saß xbêneb laj Edom teßxic saß li tzûl Sión chi taklânc saß xbêneb li cuanqueb saß xyânkeb li tzûl saß lix chßochß laj Esaú. Ut li Kâcuaß, aßan tâcuânk xcuanquil saß xbêneb.
