Obedias bog 1 |
| 1992 | King James Version |
| 1 Obadias' syn. Dette siger Gud Herren om Edom: Et budskab har vi hørt fra Herren, et bud er sendt til folkene: Rejs jer, lad os rejse os til krig mod Edom! | 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 Jeg gør dig til den ringeste blandt folkene, du bliver dybt foragtet. | 2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. |
| 3 Dit overmod har forført dig, du som bor i-bjergkløfterne, du som har din bolig i det høje og siger ved dig selv: »Hvem kan styrte mig til jorden?« | 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 Flyver du højt som ørnen og lægger din rede blandt stjernerne, styrter jeg dig ned derfra, siger Herren. | 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 Det er ude med dig! Kommer der tyve hos dig eller voldsmænd om natten, stjæler de kun efter behov. Kommer drueplukkere til dig, levner de dog en efterslæt. | 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 Men nu bliver Esau gennemsøgt, dets skjulesteder gennemrodet. | 6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! |
| 7 Alle dine pagtsfæller forfølger dig helt til grænsen, dine venner forfører dig og får magten over dig, de, der spiser sammen med dig, lægger snarer for dig. | 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 Ja, på den dag, siger Herren, vil jeg tilintetgøre de vise i Edom og forstandigheden i Esaus-bjergland. Der bliver ingen forstand tilbage. | 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 Dine helte, Teman, gribes af rædsel, så alle i Esaus-bjergland udryddes. | 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 mord og vold mod din broder Jakob skal du dækkes af skam og udryddes for evigt. | 10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. |
| 11 Den dag du stod på afstand, mens fremmede førte hans rigdom bort, og udlændinge gik ind ad hans porte og kastede lod om Jerusalem, da var du selv som en af dem. | 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 Se ikke med skadefryd på din broder på hans skæbnedag. Glæd dig ikke over judæerne på deres undergangs dag. Spær ikke munden hånligt op på nødens dag. | 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 Gå ikke ind ad mit folks port på dets ulykkes dag. Se heller ikke med skadefryd på elendigheden på dets ulykkes dag. Ræk ikke hånden ud efter dets rigdom på dets ulykkes dag. | 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 Stil dig ikke ved korsvejene for at udrydde dets flygtninge, udlevér ikke de undslupne på nødens dag! | 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 Herrens dag er nær, den kommer over alle folkene. Som du har gjort, skal der gøres mod dig, din gerning skal ramme dig selv. | 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 Som I har drukket på mit hellige-bjerg, skal alle folkene drikke uden ophør; de skal drikke og fylde i sig og blive, som havde de aldrig været til. | 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 Men på Zions-bjerg skal der være redning, det skal være et helligt sted, og Jakobs hus skal tage sin ejendom i besiddelse. | 17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. |
| 18 Så skal Jakobs hus blive til ild, Josefs hus til en flamme, og Esaus hus skal blive til strå; de skal antænde det og fortære det. Af Esaus hus skal ingen undslippe. Herren har talt. | 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 Sydlandet skal tage Esaus-bjergland i besiddelse, og Lavlandet skal tage filistrene i besiddelse. De skal tage Efraims jord og Samarias jord i besiddelse, og Benjamin skal tage Gilead i besiddelse. | 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 De landflygtige fra israelitternes hær skal tage kana'anæerne i besiddelse indtil Sarepta, og Jerusalems landflygtige, som er i Sefarad, skal tage Sydlandets byer i besiddelse. | 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 Da skal befrierne drage op til Zions-bjerg for at holde dom over Esaus-bjergland. Kongemagten skal tilhøre Herren. ' | 21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. |
