俄巴底亞書 1
1 亞北底亞神視]吾主上主關於厄東這樣說：我從上主聽到了一個消息，有一位傳令員已被派往萬民那裏說：「起來! 我們起來向她進攻! 」
The vision of 'Obadiah: Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning Edom, A rumor have we heard from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
2 看，我必使你在萬民中成為弱小的，極受人輕視。
Behold, I make thee small among the nations: thou shalt be greatly despised.
3 你心中的驕傲欺騙了你：你住在磐石裂縫中，安居高處，心中說：「誰能我跌在地上﹖」
The presumption of thy heart hath beguiled 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 既使你高棲如鷹，既便你將巢穴安置星辰上，我也要從那裏把你推下──上主的斷語──
Though thou wert to rise as high as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
5 如果盜賊，或夜間的強盜來到你那裏，他們豈不要偷個夠嗎﹖如果收葡萄的來到你那裏，豈不只給氮留下些殘粒嗎﹖你將來也是如此荒涼!
How? are thieves come to thee? or night-prowling robbers? how destroyed art thou! would they not have stolen till they had enough? if grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left some gleanings?
6 厄撒烏怎樣被人搜過了，她的寶藏怎樣被人探索了!
How are [the treasures] of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things laid open!
7 與你聯盟的人，愚弄了你，將你驅至邊境；與你友好的人，克服了你；與你共食人，給你暗設了陷阱，而你竟一點也沒有理會。
Up to the border have accompanied thee all the men of thy confederacy; beguiled, overcome thee have the men that were at peace with thee: [they that eat] thy bread have struck thee secretly a wound. There is no understanding in him.
8 在那一天──上主的斷語──我豈能不撲滅厄東的智者，掃除厄撒烏山上的明哲﹖
Shall I not on that same day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 特曼，你的勇士必驚惶失措，至使厄撒烏山上的人盡遭滅亡。你既然好殺，
And thy mighty men, O Theman, shall be dismayed, in order that every one from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 傷害了你的兄弟雅各伯，你必蒙受羞辱，永遭滅亡：
Because of thy violence against thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 因為當外邦人擄掠他財寶的那一天，蠻族來到了他的城門下，對耶路撒冷拈鬮時，你也置身其間，好像他們中的一個。
On the day that thou stoodest on the other side, on the day that strangers carried away captive his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots over Jerusalem, also thou wast as any one of them.
12 你兄弟遭難的日子，你不應旁觀；猶大子民滅亡的那天，你也不應引以為樂；在患難的日子上，你也不應大言不慚。
But thou shouldst not have looked on [pleased] at the day of thy brother, on the day that he was delivered up to strangers; neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction; nor should thou have spoken proudly on the day of distress.
13 在我的的百姓遭的時日，你不應闖進他們的門；在他遭難的時日，你更不應伸手劫掠他的財物。
Thou shouldst not have entered into the gate of my people on the day of their calamity; yea, thou too shouldst not have looked [pleased] on their affliction on the day of their calamity; nor have laid hands on their army on the day of their calamity;
14 你不應站在交叉路口，截殺他的難民；在患難之日，你不應交出他的劫後餘生。
Neither shouldst thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldst thou have delivered up those of his that did remain on the day of distress.
15 因為上主的日子已臨近萬民，人必按你所作的，照樣對待你；你的行為必歸於你的頭上。
For near is the day of the Lord over all the nations: as thou hast done, shall it be done unto thee; thy deeds shall return upon thy own head.
16 正如你們曾在我的聖山上痛飲過，萬民也要不斷痛飲：他們要痛飲，要飲醉，而終歸消滅。
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mount, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and they shall reel about, and they shall be as though they had not been.
17 在熙雍山上必有救援，熙雍將是神聖的；並且雅各伯家要侵佔那侵佔過他們的人。
But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy: and the house of Jacob shall again possess their inheritances.
18 雅各伯家將成為火，若瑟家將成為火焰，厄撒烏家卻要成為草楷；雅各伯家和若瑟家要焚燒吞滅他們；厄撒烏家必沒有一個餘生，因為上主說了。
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau become stubble, and they shall set them on fire, and devour them; and there shall not be any one remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it.
19 他們要佔領南方，厄撒烏的山頂與培肋舍特的平原，要佔領厄弗辣因地和撒馬黎雅地以及阿孟子民的基肋阿得。
And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowlands, the Philistines; and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin [shall possess] Gil'ad.
20 這支充軍在外的叵子民的軍旅，要佔領客納罕人的土地，直到匝爾法特；流亡在色法辣特的耶路撒冷人，要佔領南方的城邑。
And the exiles of this host of the children of Israel that are [with] the Canaanites, as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 那時，獲救者必上熙雍山，統治厄撒烏王；王權必歸於上主。
And deliverers shall go up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be the Lord's
