Obadiah 1
1 This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom— We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—
俄巴底亞得了耶和華的默示。 論以東說： 我從耶和華那裏聽見信息， 並有使者被差往列國去， 說：起來吧， 一同起來與以東爭戰！
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
我使你－以東在列國中為最小的， 被人大大藐視。
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
住在山穴中、居所在高處的啊， 你因狂傲自欺， 心裏說：誰能將我拉下地去呢？
4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
你雖如大鷹高飛， 在星宿之間搭窩， 我必從那裏拉下你來。 這是耶和華說的。
5 “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night— oh, how you will be ruined— would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?
盜賊若來在你那裏， 或強盜夜間而來－ 你何竟被剪除－ 豈不偷竊直到夠了呢？ 摘葡萄的若來到你那裏， 豈不剩下些葡萄呢？
6 But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
以掃的隱密處何竟被搜尋？ 他隱藏的寶物何竟被查出？
7 All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.
與你結盟的都送你上路，直到交界； 與你和好的欺騙你，且勝過你； 與你一同吃飯的設下網羅陷害你； 在你心裏毫無聰明。
8 In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
耶和華說：到那日， 我豈不從以東除滅智慧人？ 從以掃山除滅聰明人？
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.
提幔哪， 你的勇士必驚惶， 甚至以掃山的人都被殺戮剪除。
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
因你向兄弟雅各行強暴， 羞愧必遮蓋你， 你也必永遠斷絕。
11 On the day you stood aloof while strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.
當外人擄掠雅各的財物， 外邦人進入他的城門， 為耶路撒冷拈鬮的日子， 你竟站在一旁，像與他們同夥。
12 But you should not gloat in that day, your brother’s day of misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast proudly in the day of their distress.
你兄弟遭難的日子， 你不當瞪眼看着； 猶大人被滅的日子， 你不當因此歡樂； 他們遭難的日子， 你不當說狂傲的話。
13 You should not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster, nor gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, nor loot their wealth in the day of their disaster.
我民遭災的日子， 你不當進他們的城門； 他們遭災的日子， 你不當瞪眼看着他們受苦； 他們遭災的日子， 你不當伸手搶他們的財物；
14 Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
你不當站在岔路口剪除他們中間逃脫的； 他們遭難的日子， 你不當將他們剩下的人交付仇敵。
15 For the Day of the LORD is near for all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your recompense will return upon your own head.
耶和華降罰的日子臨近萬國。 你怎樣行，他也必照樣向你行； 你的報應必歸到你頭上。
16 For as you drank on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink continually. They will drink and gulp it down; they will be as if they had never existed.
你們猶大人在我聖山怎樣喝了苦杯， 萬國也必照樣常常地喝； 且喝且咽，他們就歸於無有。
17 But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
在錫安山必有逃脫的人， 那山也必成聖； 雅各家必得原有的產業。
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire, and the house of Joseph a burning flame; but the house of Esau will be stubble— Jacob will set it ablaze and consume it. Therefore no survivor will remain from the house of Esau.”
雅各家必成為大火； 約瑟家必為火焰； 以掃家必如碎稭； 火必將他燒着吞滅。 以掃家必無餘剩的。 這是耶和華說的。
19 Those from the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau; those from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
南地的人必得以掃山； 高原的人必得非利士地， 也得以法蓮地和撒馬利亞地； 便雅憫人必得基列。
20 And the exiles of this host of the Israelites will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negev.
在迦南人中被擄的以色列眾人 必得地直到撒勒法； 在西法拉中被擄的耶路撒冷人 必得南地的城邑。
21 The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
必有拯救者上到錫安山，審判以掃山； 國度就歸耶和華了。
