¹[Ny fahitan'i Obadia ny amin'ny handravana an'i Edoma mbamin'ny jentilisa sasany noho ny ratsy nataony tamin'ny Isiraely, ary ny hampiorenana ny fanjakan'i Jehovah any Ziona] Ny fahitan'i Obadia. Izao no lazain'i Jehovah Tompo ny amin'i Edoma: Nahare filazana avy tamin'i Jehovah izahay, Ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin'ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mitsangàna, aoka isika hitsangana hanafika azy!

¹Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom, A report we have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations was sent, `Rise, yea, let us rise against her for battle.`

²Indro, hataoko tsinontsinona eo amin'ny firenena ianao, Eny, ho fanazimbazimba indrindra ianao.

²Lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised [art] thou exceedingly.

³Ny avonavon'ny fonao no namitaka anao, Ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, Any amin'ny fonenana avo, Sady manao anakampo hoe: Iza no hampivarina ahy ho eny an-tany?

³The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is saying in his heart, `Who doth bring me down [to] earth?`)

⁴Na dia miakatra tahaka ny voromahery aza ianao Ka mametraka ny akaninao eny amin'ny kintana, Dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.

⁴If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.

⁵Raha, tahìny misy mpangalatra, na jiolahy alina, tonga ao aminao, (Indrisy, fongotra ianao!) Moa tsy izay hahafa-po azy ihany va no hangalariny ? Raha tahìny misy mpioty voaloboka tonga ao aminao, Moa tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina va izy?

⁵If thieves have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night, How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not leave gleanings?

⁶Endrey ny fitady ny an'i Esao! Endrey ny fikatsaka ny hareny miafina!

⁶How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden things,

⁷Ny olona rehetra izay vita fanekena taminao no nampandeha anao hatramin'ny sisin-tany; Izay tsara fihavanana aminao no namitaka ka naharesy anao; Izay mihinana ny haninao no namela-pandrika ao ambaninao Tsy misy fahalalana ao aminy!

⁷Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him!

⁸Moa tsy amin'izany andro izany va, hoy Jehovah, no hamongorako ny olon-kendry ao Edoma, Sy ny manan-tsaina ao an-tendrombohitr'i Esao?

⁸Is it not in that day — an affirmation of Jehovah, That I have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of the mount of Esau?

⁹Ary ho raiki-tahotra ny lehilahy maherinao, ry Temana, Mba haringana amin'ny vonoana ho foana ny any an-tendrombohitr'i Esao.

⁹And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that every one of the mount of Esau is cut off.

¹⁰Noho ny fampahoriana an'i Jakoba rahalahinao dia ho voasaron-kenatra ianao Ka ho fongotra mandrakizay.

¹⁰For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off — to the age.

¹¹Tamin'ilay andro namitsahanao teny am-pita, Tamin'ny andro namaboan'ny vahiny ny fananany, Sy nidiran'ny hafa firenena teo amin'ny vavahadiny, Ary nanaovany loka an'i Jerosalema, Dia mba toy ny anankiray tamin'ireny koa ianao.[Heb. nijanonanao]

¹¹In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art] as one of them!

¹²Aza finaritra mijery ny andron'ny rahalahinao amin'ny andro ahitany loza izay tsy misy toa izany; Ary aza mifaly ny amin'ny taranak'i Joda amin'ny andro andringanana azy; Ary aza manao teny miavonavona amin'ny andro fahoriana

¹²And — thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy mouth in a day of distress.

¹³Aza miditra amin'ny vavahadin'ny oloko amin'ny andro ahitany loza; Aza finaritra mijery ny fahantrany amin'ny andro ahitany loza ianao, Ary aza maninji-tàna haka ny fananany amin'ny andro ahitany loza

¹³Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,

¹⁴Aza mamitsaka eo amin'ny sampanan-dalana hamono izay afa-nandositra ianao; Ary aza manolotra izay sisa aminy amin'ny andro fahoriana.[Heb. mijanona]

¹⁴Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.

¹⁵Fa efa antomotra amin'ny jentilisa rehetra ny andron'i Jehovah; Toy ny nataonao no mba hatao aminao kosa; Eny, hitsingerina ho eo an-dohanao ny nataonao.

¹⁵For near [is] the day of Jehovah, on all the nations, As thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on thine own head.

¹⁶Fa toy ny nisotroanareo teo an-tendrombohitra masina, Dia toy izany koa no hisotroan'ny firenena rehetra mandrakariva, Eny, hisotro izy ka hitelina, Ary ho toy ny tsy ary izy.

¹⁶For — as ye have drunk on My holy mount, Drink do all the nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed, And they have been as they have not been.

¹⁷Fa ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona dia hisy izay sisa afaka, Ary ho masina izy; Ary ny taranak'i Jakoba hahalasa ny fananany.

¹⁷And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed their possessions.

¹⁸Ny taranak'i Jakoba ho afo, Ary ny taranak'i Josefa ho lelafo, Fa ny taranak'i Esao kosa ho vodivary, Ary harehitr'ireny izy ka holevoniny; Ary tsy hisy sisa afaka ny taranak'i Esao, Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.

¹⁸And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁹Ny any amin'ny tany atsimo no hahalasa ny tendrombohitr'i Esao;Ary ny any amin'ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka no hahalasa ny Filistina; Hahalasa ny tanin'ny Efraima sy ny tany Samaria izy; Ary Benjamina hahalasa an'i Gileada. [Heb. sefela]

¹⁹And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau, And the low country with the Philistines, And they have possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And Benjamin with Gilead.

²⁰Ary ny babo amin'izao Zanak'Isiraely maro be izao hahalasa ny Kananita hatrany Zarefata, Ary ny babo tany Jerosalema, izay any Sefarada, dia hahalasa ny tanàna any amin'ny tany atsimo. [Na: marobe izao, izay any amin'ny Kananita hatrany Zerefata, sy ny babo, etc..]Ary hisy mpamonjy miakatra ho ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona Hitsara ny tendrombohitr'i Esao; Ary ho an'i Jehovah Jon 1:1

²⁰And the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of the south.

²¹Ary hisy mpamonjy miakatra ho ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona Hitsara ny tendrombohitr'i Esao; Ary ho an'i Jehovah Jon 1:1

²¹And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!`
