“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?
Obadiah 1:5 in English

“If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?
Context
3Kiburi cha moyo wako kimekudanganya,
wewe unayeishi katika majabali ya miamba
na kufanya makao yako juu,
wewe unayejiambia mwenyewe,
‘Ni nani awezaye kunishusha chini?’ 4Ingawa unapaa juu kama tai
na kufanya kiota chako kati ya nyota,
nitakushusha chini kutoka huko,”
asema Bwana. 5“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! 7Wote ulioungana nao watakufukuza hadi mpakani,
rafiki zako watakudanganya na kukushinda,
wale wanaokula mkate wako watakutegea mtego,
lakini hutaweza kuugundua.
