< 俄巴底亚书 1 >
1 俄巴底亚得了耶和华的默示。 论以东说: 我从耶和华那里听见信息, 并有使者被差往列国去, 说:起来吧, 一同起来与以东争战!
The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 我使你—以东在列国中为最小的, 被人大大藐视。
Behold, I have made thee small among the nations. Thou are greatly despised.
3 住在山穴中、居所在高处的啊, 你因狂傲自欺, 心里说:谁能将我拉下地去呢?
The pride of thy heart has deceived thee, O thou who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4 你虽如大鹰高飞, 在星宿之间搭窝, 我必从那里拉下你来。 这是耶和华说的。
Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from there, says Jehovah.
5 盗贼若来在你那里, 或强盗夜间而来— 你何竟被剪除— 岂不偷窃直到够了呢? 摘葡萄的若来到你那里, 岂不剩下些葡萄呢?
If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how thou are cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? If grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
6 以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻? 他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出?
How are the things of Esau searched! How are his hidden treasures sought out!
7 与你结盟的都送你上路,直到交界; 与你和好的欺骗你,且胜过你; 与你一同吃饭的设下网罗陷害你; 在你心里毫无聪明。
All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee. Those who eat thy bread lay a snare under thee. There is no understanding in him.
8 耶和华说:到那日, 我岂不从以东除灭智慧人? 从以扫山除灭聪明人?
Shall I not in that day, says Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 提幔哪, 你的勇士必惊惶, 甚至以扫山的人都被杀戮剪除。
And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.
10 因你向兄弟雅各行强暴, 羞愧必遮盖你, 你也必永远断绝。
Shame shall cover thee for the violence done to thy brother Jacob, and thou shall be cut off forever.
11 当外人掳掠雅各的财物, 外邦人进入他的城门, 为耶路撒冷拈阄的日子, 你竟站在一旁,像与他们同伙。
In the day that thou stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou were as one of them.
12 你兄弟遭难的日子, 你不当瞪眼看着; 犹大人被灭的日子, 你不当因此欢乐; 他们遭难的日子, 你不当说狂傲的话。
But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor speak proudly in the day of distress.
13 我民遭灾的日子, 你不当进他们的城门; 他们遭灾的日子, 你不当瞪眼看着他们受苦; 他们遭灾的日子, 你不当伸手抢他们的财物;
Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
14 你不当站在岔路口剪除他们中间逃脱的; 他们遭难的日子, 你不当将他们剩下的人交付仇敌。
And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his who escape, and deliver not up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
15 耶和华降罚的日子临近万国。 你怎样行,他也必照样向你行; 你的报应必归到你头上。
For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations. As thou have done, it shall be done to thee. Thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.
16 你们犹大人在我圣山怎样喝了苦杯, 万国也必照样常常地喝; 且喝且咽,他们就归于无有。
For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually. Yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.
17 在锡安山必有逃脱的人, 那山也必成圣; 雅各家必得原有的产业。
But in mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
18 雅各家必成为大火; 约瑟家必为火焰; 以扫家必如碎秸; 火必将他烧着吞灭。 以扫家必无余剩的。 这是耶和华说的。
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 burn among them, and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau, for Jehovah has spoken it.
19 南地的人必得以扫山; 高原的人必得非利士地, 也得以法莲地和撒马利亚地; 便雅悯人必得基列。
And those of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and those of the lowland the Philistines. And they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 在迦南人中被掳的以色列众人 必得地直到撒勒法; 在西法拉中被掳的耶路撒冷人 必得南地的城邑。
And the captives of this host of the sons of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, shall possess even to Zarephath. And the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the South.
21 必有拯救者上到锡安山,审判以扫山; 国度就归耶和华了。
And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
