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.
1. Prophétie d`Abdias. Ainsi parle le Seigneur, l`Éternel, sur Édom: -Nous avons appris une nouvelle de la part de l`Éternel, Et un messager a été envoyé parmi les nations: Levez-vous, marchons contre Édom pour lui faire la guerre! -
1. Ny fahitan' i Obadia.Izao no lazain' i Jehovah Andriamanitra ny amin' i Edoma: Nahare siosio avy amin' i Jehovah izahay, ary nisy iraka nalefa ho any amin' ny jentilisa hanao hoe: Mitsangàna, aoka isika hitsangana hanafika azy amin' ny ady.
2. Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
2. Voici, je te rendrai petit parmi les nations, Tu seras l`objet du plus grand mépris.
2. "Indro, nataoko kely teo amin' ny jentilisa ianao; ho fanazimbazimba indrindra ianao."
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?
3. L`orgueil de ton coeur t`a égaré, Toi qui habites le creux des rochers, Qui t`assieds sur les hauteurs, Et qui dis en toi-même: Qui me précipitera jusqu`à terre?
3. Ny avonavon' ny fonao no namitaka anao, ry ilay monina ao an-tsefatsefaky ny harambato, any amin' ny fonenana avo, sady manao anakampo hoe: Iza no hampivarina ahy ho eny an-tany?
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.
4. Quand tu placerais ton nid aussi haut que celui de l`aigle, Quand tu le placerais parmi les étoiles, Je t`en précipiterai, dit l`Éternel.
4. Na dia manandra-tena tahaka ny voromahery aza ianao ka mametraka ny akaninao eny amin' ny kintana, dia havariko avy eny ianao, hoy Jehovah.
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?
5. Si des voleurs, des pillards, viennent de nuit chez toi, Comme te voilà dévasté! Mais enlèvent-ils plus qu`ils ne peuvent? Si des vendangeurs viennent chez toi, Ne laissent-ils rien à grappiller?...
5. Raha tàhiny misy mpangalatra, na jiolahy amin' ny alina, tonga ao aminao _ Indrisy, fongotra ianao! _ moa tsy izay hahafa-po azy ihany va no hangalariny? Raha tàhiny misy mpioty voaloboka tonga ao aminao, moa tsy hamela voaloboka sisa hotsimponina va izy?
6. How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
6. Ah! comme Ésaü est fouillé! Comme ses trésors sont découverts!
6. "Endrey ny fitady an' i Esao; endrey ny fikatsaka ny hareny miafina!"
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.
7. Tous tes alliés t`ont chassé jusqu`à la frontière, Tes amis t`ont joué, t`ont dominé, Ceux qui mangeaient ton pain t`ont dressé des pièges, Et tu n`as pas su t`en apercevoir!
7. "Ny olona rehetra izay vita fanekena taminao no nampandeha anao hatramin' ny sisin-tany; izay tsara fihavanana taminao no namitaka ka naharesy anao; izay mihinana ny haninao no namela-pandrika ao ambaninao: Tsy misy fahalalana ao aminy!"
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?
8. N`est-ce pas en ce jour, dit l`Éternel, Que je ferai disparaître d`Édom les sages, Et de la montagne d`Ésaü l`intelligence?
8. Moa tsy amin' izany andro izany va, hoy Jehovah, no hamongorako ny olon-kendry ao Edoma, sy ny manan-tsaina ao an-tendrombohitr' i Esao?
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.
9. Tes guerriers, ô Théman, seront dans l`épouvante, Car tous ceux de la montagne d`Ésaü périront dans le carnage.
9. Ary ho raiki-tahotra ny maherinao, ry Temana, mba haringana ho vonoina ny tsirairay any an-tendrombohitr' i Esao.
10. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
10. A cause de ta violence contre ton frère Jacob, Tu seras couvert de honte, Et tu seras exterminé pour toujours.
10. Noho ny fampahoriana an' i Jakoba rahalahinao dia ho voasaron-kenatra ianao ka ho fongotra mandrakizay.
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.
11. Le jour où tu te tenais en face de lui, Le jour où des étrangers emmenaient captive son armée, Où des étrangers entraient dans ses portes, Et jetaient le sort sur Jérusalem, Toi aussi tu étais comme l`un d`eux.
11. Tamin' ilay andro namitsahanao teny am-pita, tamin' ny andro namaboan' ny vahiny ny fananany, sy nidiran' ny hafa firenena teo amin' ny vavahadiny, ary nanaovany loka an' i Jerosalema, dia mba toy ny anankiray tamin' ireny koa ianao.
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.
12. Ne repais pas ta vue du jour de ton frère, du jour de son malheur, Ne te réjouis pas sur les enfants de Juda au jour de leur ruine, Et n`ouvre pas une grande bouche au jour de la détresse!
12. "Aza finaritra mijery ny andron' ny rahalahinao amin' ny andro mahatonga azy ho toy ny vahiny, ary aza mifaly ny amin' ny taranak' i Joda amin' ny andro andringanana azy; ary aza manao teny miavonavona amin' ny andro fahoriana."
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;
13. N`entre pas dans les portes de mon peuple au jour de sa ruine, Ne repais pas ta vue de son malheur au jour de sa ruine, Et ne porte pas la main sur ses richesses au jour de sa ruine!
13. "Aza miditra amin' ny vavahadin' ny oloko amin' ny andro ahitany loza; eny aza finaritra mijery ny fahoriany amin' ny andro ahitany loza ianao, na maninji-tanana haka ny fananany amin' ny andro ahitany loza."
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.
14. Ne te tiens pas au carrefour pour exterminer ses fuyards, Et ne livre pas ses réchappés au jour de la détresse!
14. "Aza mijanona eo amin' ny sampanan-dalana hamono izay afa-mandositra ianao; ary aza manolotra izay sisa aminy amin' ny andro fahoriana."
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.
15. "Car le jour de l`Éternel est proche, pour toutes les nations; Il te sera fait comme tu as fait, Tes oeuvres retomberont sur ta tête."
15. "Fa efa antomotra amin' ny jentilisa rehetra ny andron' i Jehovah; toy ny nataonao no mba hatao aminao kosa; eny, hitsingerina ho eo an-dohanao ny nataonao."
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.
16. "Car, comme vous avez bu sur ma montagne sainte, Ainsi toutes les nations boiront sans cesse; Elles boiront, elles avaleront, Et elles seront comme si elles n`avaient jamais été."
16. Fa toy ny nisotroanareo teo an-tendrombohitro masina, dia toy izany koa no hisotroan' ny jentilisa rehetra mandrakariva, eny, hisotro izy ka hitelina ary ho toy ny tsy ary izy.
17. But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
17. Mais le salut sera sur la montagne de Sion, elle sera sainte, Et la maison de Jacob reprendra ses possessions.
17. "Fa ao an-tendrombohitra Ziona dia hisy fanafahana, ary hisy fahamasinana; ary ny taranak' i Jakoba hanana ny fananany."
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.
18. "La maison de Jacob sera un feu, et la maison de Joseph une flamme; Mais la maison d`Ésaü sera du chaume, Qu`elles allumeront et consumeront; Et il ne restera rien de la maison d`Ésaü, Car l`Éternel a parlé."
18. "Ary ny taranak' i Jakoba ho afo, ary ny taranak' i Josefa ho lelafo, fa ny taranak' i Esao kosa ho vodivary, ary harehitr' ireny izy ka holevoniny; ary tsy hisy sisa ny taranak' i Esao, fa Jehovah no efa niteny izany."
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.
19. "Ceux du midi posséderont la montagne d`Ésaü, Et ceux de la plaine le pays des Philistins; Ils posséderont le territoire d`Éphraïm et celui de Samarie; Et Benjamin possédera Galaad."
19. "Ary ny any amin' ny tany atsimo no hahalasa ny tendrombohitr' i Esao; ary ny any amin' ny tany lemaka ny Filistina, ary hahalasa ny tanin' ny Efraima sy ny tany Samaria izy; ary Benjamina hahalasa an' i Gileada."
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.
20. Les captifs de cette armée des enfants d`Israël Posséderont le pays occupé par les Cananéens jusqu`à Sarepta, Et les captifs de Jérusalem qui sont à Sepharad Posséderont les villes du midi.
20. Ary ny babo amin' izao Zanak' Isiraely marobe izao hahalasa ny Kananita hatrany Zarefata, ary ny babo tany Jerosalema, izay any Sefarada, dia hahalasa ny tanàna any amin' ny tany atsimo.
21. And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
21. "Des libérateurs monteront sur la montagne de Sion, Pour juger la montagne d`Ésaü; Et à l`Éternel appartiendra le règne."
21. "Ary hisy mpamonjy maro hiakatra ao tendrombohitra Ziona hitsara ny tendrombohitr' i Esao; ary ho an' i Jehovah ny fanjakana."
