Zvakaonekwa naObhadhiya. Zvanzi naIshe Jehovha pamusoro paEdhomu, Takanzwa mashoko akabva kuna Jehovha, nhume yatumwa pakati pamarudzi ichiti, `Simukai, ngativamukire kuzorwa navo.'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.
Tarirai, ndakakuitai vaduku pakati pamarudzi, makazvidzwa kwazvo.Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
Kuzvikudza kwemwoyo yenyu kwakakunyengerai, iyemi, mugere mumikaha yamatombo, munougaro hwakakwirira, vanoti mumwoyo yavo, `Ndianiko ungatiwisira pasi?'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?
Kunyange mukabhururukira kumusoro segondo, uye kunyange dendere renyu rikaiswa pakati penyeredzi, ndichakuwisiraipo pasi ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.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.
Dai mbavha dzaisvika kwamuri, kana makororo usiku (aiwa, makaparadzwa sei!) havazaiba kusvikira varinganiswa here? Dai vatanhi vamazambiringa vaisvika kwamuri, havazaisiya mamwe mazambiringa aripo here?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?
Zvinhu zvaEsau zvakanzverwa sei! fuma yavo, yakavanzwa, yakafukunurwa sei!How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Vanhu vose vaiva nesungano nemi, vakakuperekedzai kusvikira kumuganho; vanhu, vaigara norugare nemi, vakakunyengerai, vakakukundai; vanodya zvokudya zvenyu, vanokuteyerai musungo pasi penyu, havana njere mukati mavo.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.
Ko handingaparadzi nezuva iro vachenjeri pakati paEdhomu, nenjere pagomo raEsau here? Ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.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?
Mhare dzako, iwe Temani, ndichavhunduka, kuti vose vapere nokuurawa pagomo raEsau.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.
Uchafukidzwa nokunyara nemhaka yokuti wakamukira mun’una wako simba, uchaparadzwa nokusingaperi.For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Nezuva ramakanga mumirepo makatarisana navo, nezuva ravakatorera fuma yavo navatorwa, vasi venyika iyo vachipinda masuo avo, vachikanda mije nya pamusoro peJerusaremu, nemiwo makanga makaita somumwe wavo.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.
Asi regai kutarira zuva romun’una wenyu, muchifarira zuva renjodzi yavo, murege kufara pamusoro pavana vaJudha nezuva rokuparadzwa kwavo; uye regai kutaura muchizvikudza nezuva rokumanikidzwa kwavo.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.
Regai kupinda pasuo ravanhu vangu nezuva renhamo yavo; regai kutarira njodzi yavo nezuva renhamo yavo, regai kuvatorera fuma yavo nezuva renhamo yavo.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;
Regai kumira pamharadzano, kuti muparadze vanhu vavo vanopukunyuka; regai kuisa kuvavengi vavo vanhu vavo vakasara nezuva rokumanikidzwa kwavo.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.
Nokuti zuva raJehovha raswedera kumarudzi ose; sezvamakaitira vamwe, muchaitirwawo saizvozvo; zvamakaita zvichadzokera pamisoro yenyu.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.
Nokuti sezvamakanwa pagomo rangu dzvene, saizvozvo marudzi ose acharamba achinwa; zvirokwazvo, vachanwa, nokumedza, vachaita savasina kumbovapo.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.
Asi pagomo relioni ndipo pachava navakapukunyuka, richava gomo dzvene; imba yaJakobho ichadzoserwa nhaka yayo.But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Imba yaJakobho ichava moto, imba yaJosefa murazvo womoto, uye imba yaEsau mashanga; vachapisa vamwe pakati pavo, nokuvapedza; hakuchina vachasarira imba yaEsau, nokuti Jehovha akataura izvozvo.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.
Vokurutivi rwezasi vachatora gomo raEsau, vokumapani vachatora nyika yavaFirisitia; vachatora nyika yaEfuremu nenyika yeSamaria; Benjamini vachatora nyika yeGiriyadhi.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.
Vatapwa vehondo iyi yavana vaIsiraeri, vagere pakati pavaKanani, vachatora nyika kusvikira Zarefati; vatapwa veJerusaremu, vari Sefaradhi, vachatora maguta okurutivi rwezasi.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.
Vaponesi vachakwira pagomo relioni kuzotonga gomo raEsau; ushe huchava hwaJehovha.And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
