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 Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.
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 art exceeding contemptible.
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 hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in thy 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 be exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars: thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
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 had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have left thee at the least a cluster?
6 以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻？ 他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出？
How have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden things?
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。
They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom 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 not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise 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 valiant men of the south shall be afraid, that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
10 因你向兄弟雅各行强暴， 羞愧必遮盖你， 你也必永远断绝。
For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish for ever.
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 when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast 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 thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth 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；
Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation.
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。
Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of tribulation.
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 the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy 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 you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as though they were not.
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。
And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.
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 stubble: and they shall be kindled in them, and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of Esau, for the Lord hath 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 they that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Galaad.
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 captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, 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 saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.
