¹The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

¹TOUPA PATHIANIN Edom tungtang ah hichiin a chi: TOUPA kianga kipan thu ka theia, namte lakah palai sawl ahi, Thou unla, kidouna ah amah dou dingin i kuan ding uh, chiin.

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

²Ngai dih, namte lakah ka hohhih neuta hi: nakpia muhsitna na omta hi.

³The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O 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?

³Aw nang, suangpi kitam kala teng, mun sang luah, Kuan ahia lei a hohke sak ding? lungsima chipa, na lungtang kisaktheihna in nang a hoh khemta hi.

⁴Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.

⁴Mu bangin sangpi ah leng tou mah lechin, na bu leng aksi laka seh hiomahleh, huai akipan ka hohla khe mai ding. TOUPAN a chi.

⁵If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal [only] till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

⁵Na kiangah gutate, suamhatte zanin hongpai le uh, (himan nak hih natel chia: ) a deih zah un a gu kei ding ua hia? na kiangah grep la khommite hongpai le uh, grep lak ding khenkhatte a nuse kei ding ua hia?

⁶How are [the things of] Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!

⁶Esau thilte zon khiak eita ve: A go baw, selgukte maikhiak eita ve:

⁷All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is no understanding in him.

⁷Namg lama pangte tengtengin gamgi hial nang a hontun ua: mi kituakte taka na om pihten nang a honkhem ua, honzouta uh ei ve; na tanghou neten na nuaiah thang a kam ua: amah ah theihsiamna himhim a om kei hi.

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

⁸Huai ni chiangin Edom akipan mi pilte ka hihmangin, Esau tang akipan theihsiamna ka hihmang kei dia hia? TOUPAN a chi.

⁹And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.

⁹Aw Teman, Esau tang akipan mi chih thahgama a om vekna ding un, na mi hatte nakpi takin a lunglel ding uh.

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

¹⁰Na Unaupa Jakob tunga na hiamgamna jiakin zumnain nang a honkhuh ding, khantawna hihmanthat in na om ding.

¹¹In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

¹¹lang khata na din nia, mikhualten a sum a lak mang ni ua, nam dang mite a kulh kongkhaka a honglut ua, Jerusalem tunga ai a san lai un, nang leng amau laka tel bangin na om hi.

¹²But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress.

¹²Ahihhangin na unaupa a siat laiin a siatna ni en ken la, Juda tate tungah a manthat ni un kipak kenla; a haksat niin kisathei takin pau sam ken.

¹³Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity.

¹³Ka mite a vangtah ni un a kulh kongpi uah lut ken; ahi, a vangtah ni un a thuakna te uh en ken la, a vangtah ni un a sum uleh a paite uh tungah na khutte uh nga sam kei un.

¹⁴And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

¹⁴A mi khenkhat tai khete that dingin lam thuamah dingin haksat niin a mi omsunte mansak ken.

¹⁵For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.

¹⁵Nam tengteng tungah TOUPA ni lah a nai ngala: na nahihsia mahbangin na tungah hih ahi ding; na hihdan tak nangmah lu jangah honkik nawn ding.

¹⁶For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.

¹⁶Ka tang siangthou-a na dawn bang un, nam tengtengten lah a dawn gige sin ngal ua, ahi, a dawn ding ua, a valh ding ua, piang lou bang maiin a om ding uh.

¹⁷But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

¹⁷Zion tangah bel tai khete a om ding ua, a siangthou ding; huan, Jakob inkoten a goutante uh a tang ding uh.

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 burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for Jehovah hath spoken it.

¹⁸Jakobinkote mei ahi ding ua, Joseph inkote meikuang ahi ding uh, Esau inkote buhpawl ding ahi ding ua, amau lakah a kuang ding uh, a kang mang vek ding uh: Esau inkote a val himhim a om kei ding uh: TOUPAN lah a chita ngala.

¹⁹And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.

¹⁹Sim lam miten Esau tang a tang ding ua; gam phaijanga miten philistia gam a tang ding ding uh: Ephriam lou leh Samari lou a tang ding uh: Benjamin in Gilead gam a tang ding.

²⁰And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, that are [among] the Canaanites, [shall possess] even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, that are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.

²⁰Kanaan mite laka hiai Isreal suan saltang mipiten Zarephath gam tna in a tan ding ua: Sephrad gama Jerusalem kho mite saltangin Sim lam khopite a tang ding uh.Zion tangah esau tang vaihawm sak dinga honkhemmite a hongkuan tou ding ua; huan, gam TOUPA a ahi ding.

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

²¹Zion tangah esau tang vaihawm sak dinga honkhemmite a hongkuan tou ding ua; huan, gam TOUPA a ahi ding.
