Obadiah
1 aMaono ya Obadia.Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenyezi kuhusu Edomu:
Tumesikia ujumbe kutoka kwa Bwana:
Mjumbe alitumwa kwa mataifa kusema,
“Inukeni, twendeni tukapigane vita dhidi yake.”
2“Angalieni, nitawafanya wadogo miongoni mwa mataifa,
mtadharauliwa kabisa.
3 bKiburi cha moyo wako kimekudanganya,
wewe unayeishi katika majabali ya miamba
na kufanya makao yako juu,
wewe unayejiambia mwenyewe,
‘Ni nani awezaye kunishusha chini?’
4 cIngawa unapaa juu kama tai
na kufanya kiota chako kati ya nyota,
nitakushusha chini kutoka huko,”
asema Bwana.
5 d“Ikiwa wevi wangekuja kwako,
ikiwa wanyangʼanyi wangekujia usiku:
Lo! Tazama ni maafa kiasi gani yangekuwa yanakungojea:
je, si wangeiba tu kiasi ambacho wangehitaji?
Kama wachuma zabibu wangekuja kwako,
je, wasingebakiza zabibu chache?
6Lakini tazama jinsi Esau atakavyotekwa,
jinsi hazina zake zilizofichwa zitatekwa nyara!
7 eWote ulioungana nao watakufukuza hadi mpakani,
rafiki zako watakudanganya na kukushinda,
wale wanaokula mkate wako watakutegea mtego,
lakini hutaweza kuugundua.
8 f“Katika siku hiyo,” asema Bwana,
“je, sitaangamiza watu wenye hekima wa Edomu,
watu wenye ufahamu katika milima ya Esau?
9 gEe Temani, mashujaa wako watatiwa hofu,
kila mmoja katika milima ya Esau
ataangushwa chini kwa kuchinjwa.
10 hKwa sababu ya jeuri uliyofanya dhidi ya ndugu yako Yakobo,
aibu itakufunika;
utaangamizwa milele.
11 iSiku ile ulisimama mbali ukiangalia
wakati wageni walipojichukulia utajiri wake
na watu wa nchi nyingine walipoingia malango yake
wakipiga kura kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu,
ulikuwa kama mmoja wao.
12 jUsingemdharau ndugu yako
katika siku ya msiba wake,
wala kufurahia juu ya watu wa Yuda
katika siku ya maangamizi yao,
wala kujigamba sana
katika siku ya taabu yao.
13 kUsingeingia katika malango ya watu wangu
katika siku ya maafa yao,
wala kuwadharau katika janga lao
katika siku ya maafa yao,
wala kunyangʼanya mali zao
katika siku ya maafa yao.
14Usingengoja kwenye njia panda
na kuwaua wakimbizi wao,
wala kuwatoa watu wake waliosalia
katika siku ya shida yao.
15 l“Siku ya Bwana iko karibu
kwa mataifa yote.
Kama ulivyofanya, nawe utafanyiwa vivyo hivyo,
matendo yako yatakurudia juu ya kichwa chako.
16 mKama vile ulivyokunywa juu ya mlima wangu mtakatifu,
vivyo hivyo mataifa yote watakunywa mfululizo,
watakunywa na kunywa,
nao watatoweka kana kwamba hawajawahi kuwepo.
17 nLakini katika Mlima Sayuni kutakuwepo
na wale watakaookoka;
nao utakuwa mtakatifu,
nayo nyumba ya Yakobo
itamiliki urithi wake.
18 oNyumba ya Yakobo itakuwa moto,
na nyumba ya Yosefu itakuwa mwali wa moto;
nayo nyumba ya Esau itakuwa bua kavu,
nao wataiwasha moto na kuiteketeza.
Hakutakuwa na watakaosalimika
kutoka nyumba ya Esau.”
Bwana amesema.
19 pWatu kutoka nchi ya Negebu
wataikalia milima ya Esau,
na watu kutoka miteremko ya vilima
watamiliki nchi ya Wafilisti.
Watayakalia mashamba ya Efraimu na Samaria,
naye Benyamini atamiliki Gileadi.
20 qKundi la Waisraeli walioko uhamishoni Kanaani
watarudi na kumiliki nchi mpaka Sarepta.
Walioko uhamishoni Sefaradi kutoka Yerusalemu
watamiliki miji ya Negebu.
21 rWaokoaji watakwea juu ya Mlima Sayuni
kutawala milima ya Esau.
Nao ufalme utakuwa wa Bwana.
