ʻOpataia 1
1The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”
1KO E meʻa hā mai kia ʻOpataia. ʻOku pehē ʻae ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua ki ʻItomi; Kuo tau fanongo ki ha ongoongo meia Sihova, pea kuo ʻalu ha tangata talafekau ki he kakai hiteni, “Mou tuʻu, pea te tau tuʻu hake kiate ia ke tau.
2Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised.
2Vakai, kuo u fakasiʻisiʻi koe ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe hiteni: ʻoku lahi ho manukiʻi.
3The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, “Who will bring me down to the ground?”
3Kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe he laukau ʻa ho loto, ʻa koe ʻoku nofo ʻi he ngaahi ʻanaʻi maka, pea ʻoku māʻolunga ho nofoʻanga; ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻi hono loto, ‘Ko hai ʻe fakahifo au ki lalo ki he kelekele?’|”
4Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the LORD.
4ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Neongo ʻoku ke hakeakiʻi koe ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale, pea ʻoku ke fokotuʻu ho pununga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi fetuʻu, ka te u fakahifo koe mei ai.
5If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night— how you have been destroyed!— would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?
5He ka ne haʻu kiate koe ʻae kau kaihaʻa, ʻae kau kaihaʻa ʻi he pō, (ʻoiauē ho motuhi!) ʻIkai te nau kaihaʻasi ke ʻoua ke lahi ʻenau meʻa? Ka ne haʻu kiate koe ʻae kau toli kālepi, ʻikai kuo nau fakatoe ha ngaahi kālepi?
6How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out!
6ʻOiauē hono vakili ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ʻa ʻIsoa! Hono hakule ʻo ʻene ngaahi meʻa fufū!
7All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding.
7Ko e kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe kau fakataha mo koe, kuo nau ʻomi koe ʻo aʻu ki he mata fonua, kuo kākaaʻi koe ʻe he kau tangata naʻe melino mo koe, pea kuo ikuʻi koe; ʻakinautolu naʻe kai ho mā kuo nau ʻai ʻae tauhele ʻi lalo ʻi ʻiate koe: ʻoku ʻikai siʻi ha poto ʻiate ia.”
8Will I not on that day, declares the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
8ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “ʻIkai te u fakaʻauha ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻae kau tangata poto mei ʻItomi, pea mo e ʻilo mei he moʻunga ʻo ʻIsoa?
9And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
9Pea ʻe ilifia hoʻo kau tangata mālohi, ʻe Timani, koeʻuhi ke ʻauha ʻi he tāmate ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIsoa.
10Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.
10Koeʻuhi ko hoʻo fai fakamālohi ki ho tokoua ko Sēkope, ʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻaki koe ʻae mā, pea te ke ʻauha ʻo lauikuonga.
11On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them.
11ʻI he ʻaho ko ia naʻa ke tutuʻu mo e faʻahi ʻe taha, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻave pōpula ʻe he kakai muli ʻa ʻene ngaahi kongakau, pea naʻe hū ʻae kau muli ki hono ngaahi matapā, pea nau talotalo ki Selūsalema, ko koe naʻa ke hangē ko e tokotaha ʻokinautolu.
12But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress.
12Ka naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo sio ki he ʻaho ʻo ho tokoua, ʻi he ʻaho ko ia naʻa ne hoko ko e muli; pea naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo vikiviki ki he fānau ʻa Siuta ʻi he ʻaho ʻo honau fakaʻauha; pea naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo lea fielahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau mamahi.
13Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.
13Naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo hū ʻi he matapā ʻo hoku kakai, ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki; ʻio, naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo sio ki heʻenau mamahi ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki, pe ala ki heʻenau koloa ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻenau tuʻutāmaki;
14Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress.
14Pea naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo tutuʻu ʻi he mangaʻi hala, ke motuhi ʻakinautolu ʻi ai naʻe hao; pea naʻe ʻikai totonu hoʻo tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻi ai, naʻe toe ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi.
15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head.
15He ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova ki he kakai hiteni; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo ke fai ʻe fai pehē kiate koe: ʻe foki mai hoʻo totongi ki ho ʻulu ʻoʻou.
16For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.
16Hangē kuo mou inu ʻi hoku moʻunga tapu, ʻe pehē ʻae inu maʻuaipē ʻe he hiteni kotoa pē, ʻio, te nau inu mo folo hifo, pea te nau hoko ʻo hangē ko e kakai naʻe ʻikai.
17But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
17Ka ʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakahaofi ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione, pea mo e māʻoniʻoni; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he fale ʻo Sēkope ʻa honau tofiʻa.
18The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken.
18Pea ʻe hoko ʻae fale ʻo Sēkope ko e afi, pea mo e fale ʻo Siosefa ko e ulo afi, pea ko e fale ʻo ʻIsoa ko e veve, pea te nau vela ʻiate kinautolu, mo fakaʻauha kinautolu; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ha niʻihi ʻi he fale ʻo ʻIsoa,” he kuo folofola pehē ʻe Sihova.
19Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
19Pea ʻe maʻu ʻekinautolu ʻoe potu tonga ʻae moʻunga ʻo ʻIsoa; pea ko kinautolu ʻoe toafa, ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea te nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi ngoue ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo e ngaahi ngoue ʻo Samēlia: pea ʻe maʻu ʻe Penisimani ʻa Kiliati.
20The exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
20Pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he kau pōpula ʻi he kau tau ni ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻae fonua ʻoe kakai Kēnani ʻo aʻu ki Salefati; pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he kau pōpula ʻo Selūsalema, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sefalati, ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻoe potu tonga.
21Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
21Pea ʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kau fakamoʻui ki he moʻunga ko Saione, ke fakamaau ʻae moʻunga ʻo ʻIsoa; pea ʻe hoko ia ko e puleʻanga ʻo Sihova.
