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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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;

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

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.

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