8 Thawani!+ Bwererani! Pitani kumalo otsika kuti mukakhale kumeneko,+ inu okhala ku Dedani!+ Pakuti Esau ndidzamugwetsera tsoka pa nthawi yomulanga.+

5 Mawu amene Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena ndi akuti, ‘Ndithudi, ndidzadzudzula anthu otsala a mitundu ina ndiponso Edomu yense nditakwiya kwambiri.+ Ndidzadzudzula amene anatenga dziko langa kuti likhale lawo. Iwo analitenga akusangalala+ komanso kunyoza mumtima mwawo+ poona kuti atenga dzikolo ndi malo ake odyetserako ziweto.’”’+

11 “Yehova wanena kuti, ‘Chifukwa chakuti Edomu wandipandukira mobwerezabwereza,+ sindidzamusinthira chigamulo changa. Sindidzamusinthira chigamulocho chifukwa chakuti anathamangitsa m’bale wake ndi lupanga,+ sanasonyeze chifundo,+ akupitiriza kukhadzulakhadzula zinthu ali wokwiya komanso akukhalabe wokwiya mosalekeza.+

1 Tsopano awa ndiwo masomphenya a Obadiya:

Zimene Yehova Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa wanena zokhudza Edomu ndi izi:+ “Ife tamva uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova ndipo nthumwi yatumidwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina kukanena kuti: ‘Nyamukani anthu inu, tiyeni timuukire ndi kumenyana naye.’”+

10 Chifukwa chakuti m’bale wako Yakobo unam’chitira zachiwawa,+ manyazi adzakugwira.+ Iwe udzawonongedwa ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka kalekale.*+
