عُوبَدْيَا 1

١ 1 رُؤْيَا عُوبَدْيَا: هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ عَنْ أَدُومَ: سَمِعْنَا خَبَرًا مِنْ قِبَلِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَأُرْسِلَ رَسُولٌ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ: «قُومُوا، وَلْنَقُمْ عَلَيْهَا لِلْحَرْبِ».

The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumor from the LORD, and an embassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

٢ 2 «إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيرًا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. أَنْتَ مُحْتَقَرٌ جِدًّا.

Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.

٣ 3 تَكَبُّرُ قَلْبِكَ قَدْ خَدَعَكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّاكِنُ فِي مَحَاجِئِ ٱلصَّخْرِ، رِفْعَةَ مَقْعَدِهِ، ٱلْقَائِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: مَنْ يُحْدِرُنِي إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ؟

The pride of thy 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?

٤ 4 إِنْ كُنْتَ تَرْتَفِعُ كَٱلنَّسْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا بَيْنَ ٱلنُّجُومِ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُحْدِرُكَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ.

Though thou shalt exalt [thyself] as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

٥ 5 إِنْ أَتَاكَ سَارِقُونَ أَوْ لُصُوصُ لَيْلٍ. كَيْفَ هَلِكْتَ! أَفَلَا يَسْرِقُونَ حَاجَتَهُمْ؟ إِنْ أَتَاكَ قَاطِفُونَ أَفَلَا يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟

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 grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave [some] grapes?

٦ 6 كَيْفَ فُتِّشَ عِيسُو وَفُحِصَتْ مَخَابِئُهُ؟

How are [the things] of Esau searched out! [how] are his hidden things sought!

٧ 7 طَرَدَكَ إِلَى ٱلتُّخْمِ كُلُّ مُعَاهِدِيكَ. خَدَعَكَ وَغَلَبَ عَلَيْكَ مُسَالِمُوكَ. أَهْلُ خُبْزِكَ وَضَعُوا شَرَكًا تَحْتَكَ. لَا فَهْمَ فِيهِ.

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] no understanding in him.

٨ 8 أَلَا أُبِيدُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، ٱلْحُكَمَاءَ مِنْ أَدُومَ، وَٱلْفَهْمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو؟

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?

٩ 9 فَيَرْتَاعُ أَبْطَالُكَ يَا تَيْمَانُ، لِكَيْ يَنْقَرِضَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو بِٱلْقَتْلِ.

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.

١٠ 10 «مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِكَ لِأَخِيكَ يَعْقُوبَ، يَغْشَاكَ ٱلْخِزْيُ وَتَنْقَرِضُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ.

For [thy] violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

١١ 11 يَوْمَ وَقَفْتَ مُقَابِلَهُ يَوْمَ سَبَتِ ٱلْأَعَاجِمُ قُدْرَتَهُ، وَدَخَلَتِ ٱلْغُرَبَاءُ أَبْوَابَهُ، وَأَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.

In the day that thou stoodst 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.

١٢ 12 وَيَجِبُ أَنْ لَا تَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ أَخِيكَ يَوْمَ مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَلَا تَشْمَتَ بِبَنِي يَهُوذَا يَوْمَ هَلَاكِهِمْ، وَلَا تَفْغَرَ فَمَكَ يَوْمَ ٱلضِّيقِ،

But thou shouldst not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldst thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

١٣ 13 وَلَا تَدْخُلَ بَابَ شَعْبِي يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ، وَلَا تَنْظُرَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا إِلَى مُصِيبَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ، وَلَا تَمُدَّ يَدًا إِلَى قُدْرَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ،

Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yes, thou shouldst 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;

١٤ 14 وَلَا تَقِفَ عَلَى ٱلْمَفْرَقِ لِتَقْطَعَ مُنْفَلِتِيهِ، وَلَا تُسَلِّمَ بَقَايَاهُ يَوْمَ ٱلضِّيقِ.

Neither shouldst thou have stood in the cross-way, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.

١٥ 15 فَإِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْأُمَمِ. كَمَا فَعَلْتَ يُفْعَلُ بِكَ. عَمَلُكَ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.

For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head.

١٦ 16 لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا شَرِبْتُمْ عَلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، يَشْرَبُ جَمِيعُ ٱلْأُمَمِ دَائِمًا، يَشْرَبُونَ وَيَجْرَعُونَ وَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا.

For as ye have drank upon my holy mountain, [so] shall all the heathen drink continually, yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

١٧ 17 «وَأَمَّا جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ نَجَاةٌ، وَيَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا، وَيَرِثُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

١٨ 18 وَيَكُونُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ نَارًا، وَبَيْتُ يُوسُفَ لَهِيبًا، وَبَيْتُ عِيسُو قَشًّا، فَيُشْعِلُونَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَهُمْ وَلَا يَكُونُ بَاقٍ مِنْ بَيْتِ عِيسُو، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ».

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].

١٩ 19 وَيَرِثُ أَهْلُ ٱلْجَنُوبِ جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَأَهْلُ ٱلسَّهْلِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيَرِثُونَ بِلَادَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبِلَادَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، وَيَرِثُ بَنْيَامِينُ جِلْعَادَ.

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.

٢٠ 20 وَسَبْيُ هَذَا ٱلْجَيْشِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرِثُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ إِلَى صَرْفَةَ. وَسَبْيُ أُورُشَلِيمَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِي صَفَارِدَ يَرِثُونَ مُدُنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ.

And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, [even] to Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which [is] in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.

٢١ 21 وَيَصْعَدُ مُخَلِّصُونَ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ لِيَدِينُوا جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَيَكُونُ ٱلْمُلْكُ لِلرَّبِّ.

And saviors shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
