¹The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. says about Edom. We have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, “Arise, and let’s rise up against her in battle.

¹Prikazen Obadijeva. Tako pravi Gospod Jehova o Edomu: Oznanilo smo slišali GOSPODOVO in poslanec je bil poslan med narode: „Vstanite in vzdignimo se v boj zoper njega!“

²Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.

²Glej, majhnega sem te storil med narodi, silno si zaničevan.

³The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

³Prevzetnost srca tvojega te je premotila, ki prebivaš v razpoklinah skalnih, sedež imaš na višavi in v srcu svojem govoriš: Kdo me potegne na tla?

⁴Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.

⁴Čeprav bi se visoko vznesel kakor orel in ako bi bilo med zvezdami postavljeno gnezdo tvoje: te potegnem doli od tam, govori GOSPOD.

⁵“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you—wouldn’t they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleaning grapes?

⁵Ako bi prišli k tebi tatje ali razbojniki po noči, – kako si pokončan! – ali bi ne kradli, dokler bi jim bilo dovolj? Če bi trgači prišli k tebi, ali bi vsaj paberka ne popustili?

⁶How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!

⁶Kako je preiskano, kar je Ezavovega, kako so se našli skriti zakladi njegovi!

⁷All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.”

⁷Vsi zavezniki tvoji so te odpravili nazaj do meje; prekanili, premogli so te, ki so mir sklenili s teboj; kateri jedo kruh tvoj, so nastavili zadrgo pod tebe. Ni razuma pri njem.

⁸“Won’t I in that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?

⁸Ne pogubim li tisti dan, govori GOSPOD, modrih iz Edoma in razumnosti z gore Ezavove?

⁹Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

⁹In tvoji junaki, o Teman, izgube pogum, zato da bo vsakdo iztrebljen z gore Ezavove v moritvi.

¹⁰For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.

¹⁰Zavoljo silovitosti, storjene bratu tvojemu Jakobu, te pokrije sramota in iztrebljen boš na vekomaj.

¹¹In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

¹¹Oni dan, ko si stal nasproti, v dan, ko so tujci peljali stran imetje njegovo in so inostranci vstopili skozi vrata in so za Jeruzalem metali kocko, tedaj si tudi tí bil kakor eden od njih.

¹²But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

¹²A ti ne bi bil smel všečno gledati dneva brata svojega v dan njegove nesreče in se ne veseliti nad sinovi Judovimi v dan njih pogube, ne se širokoustiti v dan stiske;

¹³Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.

¹³ti ne bi bil smel stopiti v vrata ljudstva mojega v dan nadloge njegove, prav ti ne bi bil smel všečno gledati nesreče njegove v dan nadloge njegove, ne roke iztegniti po blagu njegovem v dan nadloge njegove;

¹⁴Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.

¹⁴ti ne bi bil smel stati ob razpotju, da bi posekal njegove ubežnike, in ne bi bil smel izročiti sovražniku tistih, ki so mu preostali v dan stiske.

¹⁵For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

¹⁵Kajti dan GOSPODOV je blizu nad vsemi poganskimi narodi: kakor si storil ti, se bo storilo tebi; dejanje tvoje se ti povrne na glavo.

¹⁶For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.

¹⁶Kakor ste namreč pili na gori svetosti moje, tako bodo neprestano pili vsi narodi; da, pili bodo in srkali in bodo kakor taki, ki jih nikdar ni bilo.

¹⁷But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.

¹⁷Ali na gori Sionu bode rešitev, in bode sveta; in v last prejme hiša Jakobova posesti onih.

¹⁸The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau.” Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.

¹⁸In hiša Jakobova bode ogenj in hiša Jožefova plamen, hiša Ezavova pa strnišče; in bosta goreli med njimi in jih požrli, da ne preostane hiši Ezavovi noben ostanek; kajti GOSPOD je govoril.

¹⁹Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.

¹⁹In tisti, ki so proti Jugu, posedejo gorovje Ezavovo, in kateri so na ravnini, Filistejo, tudi posedejo poljane Efraimove in poljane samarijske, Benjamin pa posede Gilead.

²⁰The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.

²⁰Kateri pa so bili v sužnost odpeljani iz tega krdela sinov Izraelovih, posedejo, kar je last Kanaancev tja do Sarepte; in odpeljanci v sužnost iz Jeruzalema, ki so v Sefaradu, posedejo mesta na Jugu.In rešitelji pojdejo na goro Sion, da sodijo goro Ezavovo. Kraljestvo pa bode GOSPODOVO.

²¹Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.

²¹In rešitelji pojdejo na goro Sion, da sodijo goro Ezavovo. Kraljestvo pa bode GOSPODOVO.
