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 prophecy of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom. We have heard a message from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been 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 will 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 pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, Thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high, Who sayest in thine 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 lift thyself up as the eagle, And though thou set thy nest among the stars, Thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
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!
If thieves had come upon thee, Or robbers by night, Would they not have ceased stealing when they had enough? How art thou utterly destroyed! If grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left gleanings of the grapes?
6 厄撒烏怎樣被人搜過了，她的寶藏怎樣被人探索了!
How is Esau searched through! How are his hidden places explored!
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。
All thine allies have brought thee to the border; They that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; They that ate thy bread have spread a snare under thee; There is no understanding in thee.
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﹖
In that day, saith Jehovah, I will destroy the wise men from Edom, And understanding from 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，
Thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed; Every one shall be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 傷害了你的兄弟雅各伯，你必蒙受羞辱，永遭滅亡：
For slaughter and for oppression of thy brother Jacob shall shame cover thee, And thou shalt be destroyed forever.
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。
In the day when thou stoodest over against him, In the day when strangers carried away captive his forces, And when foreigners entered his gates, And when they cast lots upon Jerusalem, Thou also wast as 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 with delight on the day of thy brother in the day of his calamity; Nor shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction, Nor have spoken haughtily in the day of his 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 in the day of their calamity, Nor have looked with delight on their affliction in the day of their calamity, Nor have laid hand on their substance in 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。
Nor have stood in the cross-way to cut off their fugitives, Nor have delivered up those that remained in 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 the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: As thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee; Thy dealing shall return upon thine 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 mountain, So shall all the nations drink perpetually, Yea, they shall drink and swallow it down, 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 regain their possessions.
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 stubble, And they shall kindle them and devour them. And there shall be none remaining of the house of Esau; For Jehovah 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 mountain 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.
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 captives of this host of the sons of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites unto Sarepta, And the captives of Jerusalem which are at 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 saviors shall go up to mount Zion, To rule the mount of Esau. And the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
