Obadias
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
1 Ang pangitain ni Obadias. Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios tungkol sa Edom, Kami ay nakarinig ng mga balita na mula sa Panginoon, at isang sugo ay sinugo sa mga bansa, na nagsasabi, Magsibangon kayo, at tayo'y mangagtindig laban sa kaniya sa pakikipagbaka.
2 Narito, ginawa kitang maliit sa mga bansa: ikaw ay lubhang hinamak.
3 Dinaya ka ng kapalaluan ng iyong puso, Oh ikaw na tumatahan sa mga bitak ng bato, na ang tahanan ay matayog; na nagsasabi sa kaniyang puso, Sinong magbababa sa akin sa lupa?
4 Bagaman ikaw ay pailanglang sa itaas na parang aguila, at bagaman ang iyong pugad ay malagay sa gitna ng mga bituin, aking ibababa ka mula roon, sabi ng Panginoon.
5 Kung ang mga magnanakaw ay nagsiparoon sa iyo, kung mga mangloloob sa gabi (paano kang nahiwalay!) di baga sila sana'y nangagnakaw hanggang sa sila'y nangagkaroon ng sapat? kung mga mamimitas ng ubas ay nagsiparoon sa iyo, di baga sila sana'y nangagiwan ng laglag na ubas?
6 Paano nasiyasat ang mga bagay ng Esau! paano nasumpungan ang kaniyang mga kayamanang natago!
7 Lahat na lalake na iyong kaalam ay dinala ka sa iyong lakad, hanggang sa hangganan: ang mga lalake na nangasa kapayapaan sa iyo ay dinaya ka, at nanaig laban sa iyo; silang nagsisikain ng iyong tinapay ay naglagay ng silo sa ilalim mo: walang paguunawa sa kaniya.
8 Di ko baga lilipulin sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, ang mga pantas na tao sa Edom, at papawiin ang unawa sa bundok ng Esau?
9 At ang iyong mga makapangyarihang tao, Oh Teman, ay manglulupaypay, palibhasa'y bawa't isa'y mahihiwalay sa bundok ng Esau sa pamamagitan ng patayan.
10 Dahil sa karahasan na ginawa sa iyong kapatid na Jacob ay kahihiyan ang tatakip sa iyo, at ikaw ay mahihiwalay magpakailan man.
11 Nang araw na ikaw ay tumayo sa kabilang dako, nang araw na dalhin ng mga taga ibang bayan ang kaniyang kayamanan, at magsipasok ang mga mangingibang bayan sa kaniyang mga pintuang-bayan at pagsapalaran ang Jerusalem, ikaw man ay naging gaya ng isa sa kanila.
12 Huwag ka ngang magmasid sa araw ng iyong kapatid sa kaarawan ng kaniyang kasakunaan, at huwag mong ikagalak ang mga anak ni Juda sa kaarawan ng kanilang pagkabuwal; ni magsalita mang may kapalaluan sa kaarawan ng pagkahapis.
13 Huwag kang pumasok sa pintuan ng aking bayan sa kaarawan ng kanilang kasakunaan; oo, huwag mong masdan ang kanilang pagdadalamhati sa kaarawan ng kanilang kasakunaan, o pakialaman man ninyo ang kanilang kayamanan sa kaarawan ng kanilang kasakunaan.
14 At huwag kang tumayo sa mga salubungang daan na ihiwalay ang kaniya na tumatanan; at huwag mong ibigay ang kaniya na nalabi sa kaarawan ng kapanglawan.
15 Sapagka't ang kaarawan ng Panginoon ay malapit na, laban sa lahat ng bansa: kung ano ang iyong gawin, ay siyang gagawin sa iyo; ang iyong gawa ay babalik sa iyong sariling ulo.
16 Sapagka't kung paanong kayo'y nagsiinom sa aking banal na bundok, gayon magsisiinom na palagi ang lahat na bansa, oo, sila'y magsisiinom, at magsisitungga, at magiging wari baga sila'y hindi nangabuhay.
17 Nguni't sa bundok ng Sion ay doroon yaong nangakatatanan, at magiging banal; at aariin ng sangbahayan ni Jacob ang kaniyang mga pag-aari.
18 At ang sangbahayan ni Jacob ay magiging isang apoy, at ang sangbahayan ni Jose ay isang liyab, at ang sangbahayan ni Esau ay dayami, at sila'y kanilang susunugin, at sila'y susupukin; at walang malalabi sa sangbahayan ni Esau; sapagka't sinalita ng Panginoon.
19 At silang sa Timugan, ay mangagaari ng bundok ng Esau, at silang sa mababang lupa ay ng mga Filisteo; at kanilang aariin ang parang ng Ephraim, at ang parang ng Samaria; at aariin ng Benjamin ang Galaad.
20 At ang mga bihag sa hukbong ito ng mga anak ni Israel na nasa mga taga Canaan, ay magaari ng hanggang sa Sarefat; at ang mga bihag sa Jerusalem na nasa Sepharad ay magaari ng mga bayan ng Timugan.
21 At ang mga tagapagligtas ay magsisisampa sa bundok ng Sion upang hatulan ang bundok ng Esau; at ang kaharian ay magiging sa Panginoon.
Obadiah
King James Version
1 The 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.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, 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?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7 All 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; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And 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.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 But 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.
13 Thou 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;
14 Neither 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.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 And 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 kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
Obadiah
New International Version
Obadiah’s Vision(A)(B)
1 The vision(C) of Obadiah.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom(D)—
We have heard a message from the Lord:
An envoy(E) was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”(F)—
2 “See, I will make you small(G) among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride(H) of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](I)
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(J)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(K) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(L)
declares the Lord.(M)
5 “If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?(N)
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies(O) will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread(P) will set a trap for you,[b]
but you will not detect it.
8 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“will I not destroy(Q) the wise men of Edom,
those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, Teman,(R) will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau’s mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence(S) against your brother Jacob,(T)
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.(U)
11 On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots(V) for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.(W)
12 You should not gloat(X) over your brother
in the day of his misfortune,(Y)
nor rejoice(Z) over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,(AA)
nor boast(AB) so much
in the day of their trouble.(AC)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity(AD)
in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
in the day of their disaster.
14 You should not wait at the crossroads
to cut down their fugitives,(AE)
nor hand over their survivors
in the day of their trouble.
15 “The day of the Lord is near(AF)
for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds(AG) will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank(AH) on my holy hill,(AI)
so all the nations will drink(AJ) continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.(AK)
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;(AL)
it will be holy,(AM)
and Jacob will possess his inheritance.(AN)
18 Jacob will be a fire
and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
and they will set him on fire(AO) and destroy(AP) him.
There will be no survivors(AQ)
from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.
19 People from the Negev will occupy
the mountains of Esau,
and people from the foothills will possess
the land of the Philistines.(AR)
They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,(AS)
and Benjamin(AT) will possess Gilead.
20 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan
will possess the land as far as Zarephath;(AU)
the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the towns of the Negev.(AV)
21 Deliverers(AW) will go up on[c] Mount Zion
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.(AX)
