Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent an envoy to the nations: “Arise, and let us together rise up in battle against him.”
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! 」
2 Behold, I have made you little among the nations. You are greatly contemptible.
看，我必使你在萬民中成為弱小的，極受人輕視。
3 The arrogance of your heart has lifted you up, living in the clefts of the rocks, exalting your throne. You say in your heart, “Who will pull me down to the ground?”
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﹖」
4 Though you have been lifted high like an eagle, and though you have placed your nest among the stars, from there I will pull you down, says the Lord.
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──
5 If thieves had approached you, if robbers by night, how would you have remained unnoticed? Would they not have stolen all that they wanted? If the grape-pickers had approached you, would they not have left you at least a cluster?
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!
6 In what way have they been examining Esau? They investigated his secrets.
厄撒烏怎樣被人搜過了，她的寶藏怎樣被人探索了!
7 They have sent you out all the way to the limit. All the men of your alliance have deceived you. Your men of peace have prevailed against you. Those who eat with you will place snares under you. There is no foresight in him.
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。
8 Shall I not, in that day, says the Lord, wipe away understanding from Idumea and foresight from the mount of Esau?
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﹖
9 And your strong from the Meridian will be afraid, so that man may perish from the mount of Esau.
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，
10 Because of the execution, and because of the iniquity against your brother Jacob, confusion will cover you, and you will pass away into eternity.
傷害了你的兄弟雅各伯，你必蒙受羞辱，永遭滅亡：
11 In the day when you stood against him, when strangers seized his army, and foreigners entered into his gates, and they cast lots over Jerusalem: you also were just like one of them.
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。
12 But you shall not show disdain for the day of your brother in the day of his sojourn. And you shall not rejoice over the sons of Judah in the day of their perdition. And you shall not magnify your mouth in the day of anguish.
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。
13 And neither shall you enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin. And neither shall you also show disdain for his troubles in the day of his desolation. And you shall not send out against his army in the day of his desolation.
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。
14 Neither shall you stand at the exits to execute those who will flee. And you shall not enclose their remnant in the day of tribulation.
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。
15 For the day of the Lord is near, over all nations. Just as you have done, so will it be done to you. He will turn back your retribution on your own head.
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。
16 For in the manner that you drank on my holy mountain, so shall all nations drink continually. And they will drink, and they will absorb, and they will be as if they were not.
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。
17 And on mount Zion there will be salvation, and it will be holy. And the house of Jacob will possess those who had possessed them.
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。
18 And the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble. And they will be set on fire among them, and they will devour them. And there will be no remnant of the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken.
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。
19 And those who are towards the South, and who are in the camps of the Philistines, will inherit the mount of Esau. And they will possess the region of Ephraim, and the region of Samaria. And Benjamin will possess Gilead.
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。
20 And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel, all the places of the Canaanites all the way to Sarepta, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Bosphoro, will possess the cities of the South.
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。
21 And the saviors will ascend to mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau. And the kingdom will be for the Lord.
那時，獲救者必上熙雍山，統治厄撒烏王；王權必歸於上主。
