1Lo ngumbono kaObadiya. INkosi uJehova ithi ngoEdoma: Sizwile imibiko evela e Nkosi ni, kuthunywe isithunywa phakathi kwezizwe ukuze sithi: Vukani, simvukele silwe laye!

2Khangela, ngizakwenza ube mncinyane phakathi kwezizwe, udeleleke kakhulu.

3Ukuziqhenya kwenhliziyo yakho kukukhohlisile, wena ohlala ezimbalwini zamawa, olendawo ephakemeyo yokuhlala, othi enhliziyweni yakho: Ngubani ozangehlisela phansi?

4Loba uqonga njengokhozi, loba isidleke sakho sakhiwe phakathi kwezinkanyezi, ngizakwethula khona, kutsho i Nkosi.

5Uba amasela efika kuwe labaphangi ebusuku, kungakanani ukulahlekelwa kwakho, bebengayikuthatha yini lokho abakufunayo? Uba abavuna izithelo zevini befika kuwe, bebengayikutshiya ingcosana yini?

6Yeka ukuphangwa kukaEsawu! Yeka ukudingisiswa kwamagugu akhe!

7Bonke abangane bakho besivumelwano bakukhohlisile, bakuxotshela emngceleni; ababehlalisene lawe ngokuthula bakwehlule, labangane bakho abathembekileyo bakuthiyile; kakho okuqedisisayo lokhu.

8I Nkosi ithi: Ngalolosuku ngizachitha abahlakaniphileyo eEdoma, ngiqede lokuhlakanipha entabeni yakoEsawu.

9Amaqhawe akho, Themani, azatshaywa luvalo, ukuze lowo lalowo abulawe entabeni kaEsawu.

10Ngenxa yesihluku esenziwa kumfowenu uJakobe uzabanjwa zinhloni, uchithwe uphele du.

11Ngosuku owema ngalo khatshana, ngosuku abezizweni abathumba ngalo impahla yakhe, bangena emasangweni akhe, benza inkatho yokuphosa ngeJerusalema lawe wawunjengomunye wabo.

12Kodwa wawungafanelanga intokozo ngomfowenu esukwini lokuhlupheka kwakhe; wawungafanelanga intokozo ngabantu bakoJuda esukwini lokuchitheka kwabo; wawungafanelanga ukukloloda esukwini losizi lwakhe.

13Ngabe kawungenanga ngesango labantu bami esukwini lokuhlupheka kwabo; ngabe kawuthokozanga ngezinhlupheko zabo esukwini lokuhlupheka kwabo; ngabe kawuphanganga impahla yabo esukwini lokuhlupheka kwabo.

14Wawungafanelanga ukuma emehlukanweni endlela ukumvimbela ekubalekeni kwakhe; wawungafanelanga ukunikela abaphunyukileyo bakhe esukwini losizi lwakhe.

15Ngoba usuku lwe Nkosi lusondele ezizweni zonke. Njengokwenza kwakho kuzakwenziwa njalo lakuwe, Edoma, izenzo zakho zizakwehliselwa ekhanda lakho.

16Njengoba lina linathile inkezo yolaka entabeni yami engcwele, zonke izizwe ezikhona inhlangothi zonke zizanatha kuyo kakhulu zinyamalale.

17Kodwa entabeni yeZiyoni kuzakuba khona abaphunyukileyo, izakuba ngcwele; lendlu kaJakobe izakudla ilifa layo.

18Indlu kaJakobe izakuba ngumlilo, lendlu kaJosefa ibe lilangabi, indlu kaEsawu ibe ngamabibi; bazawatshisa bawaqede; kakuyikuba khona oseleyo endlini kaEsawu; ngoba i Nkosi isikhulumile.

19Abeningizimu bazathumba intaba kaEsawu, abeShefela bathumbe ilizwe lamaFilisti, kanye lelizwe lakoEfrayimi lelizwe iSamariya, loBhenjamini athumbe iGileyadi.

20Abathunjiweyo bebutho lakoIsrayeli bazabuya bathumbe ilizwe lamaKhanani, kuze kufike eZarefathi; labathunjiweyo beJerusalema abaSerafadi bazabuya bathumbe imizi yeningizimu.

21Abasilileyo bakhwele entabeni yeZiyoni ukubusa intaba kaEsawu; i Nkosi yiyo ezabusa.
