Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah, —Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, concerning Edom—A rumour, have we heard from Yahweh, and, a herald, throughout the nations, hath been sent, Up! and let us rise against her to war.
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 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
看，我必使你在萬民中成為弱小的，極受人輕視。
3 The insolence of thy heart, hath deceived thee, O thou that inhabitest the retreats of the crag, the height of his habitation, —that saith in his heart, Who shall bring 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 thou build high like an eagle, and though, among the stars, thou set thy nest, from thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh.
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 come to thee, if robbers by night—how ruined thou art! Would they not have stolen what sufficed them? If, grape-gatherers, had come to thee, Would they not have left gleanings?
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 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
厄撒烏怎樣被人搜過了，她的寶藏怎樣被人探索了!
7 Up to the boundary, have they sent thee—All thy covenant men, they have deceived thee, prevailed against thee—the men thou wast wont to salute, —The partakers of thy bread, have put a net under thee—No understanding 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 it not be, in that day, Demandeth Yahweh, —That I will destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount 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 So shall thy mighty men, O Teman, be dismayed, —to the intent that every man, may be cut off, out of Mount Esau, by slaughter.
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 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
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 thou didst take thy stand over against him, in the day when foreigners took captive his forces, —and, aliens, entered his gates, and, over Jerusalem, cast lots, even thou, wast 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 Do not, then, look with satisfaction upon the day of thy brother, upon the day of his calamity, Neither rejoice over the sons of Judah—in the day of their ruin, —nor enlarge thy mouth—in the day of distress:
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 Do not enter into the gate of my people—in the day of their misfortune, Do not, thou also, look with satisfaction on his misery—in the day of his misfortune; neither do thou thrust [thy hands] on his substance—in the day of his misfortune;
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 do thou stand at the parting of the way, to cut off his fugitives, —neither do thou deliver up his survivors—in the day of distress.
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, near, is the day of Yahweh, upon all the nations, —Just as thou hast done, shall it be done to thee, Thy dealing, shall come back upon thine 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, as ye have drunk on my holy mountain, all the nations shall drink continually, —Yea they shall drink and swallow down, and shall be, as though they had not been.
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 But, in Mount Zion, shall be a delivered remnant which shall be holy, —and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions;
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 shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, with the house of Esau for stubble, So shall they kindle upon them, and devour them, —and there shall be no survivor to the house of Esau, for, Yahweh, hath 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 Then shall they of the South possess Mount Esau, and they of the Lowlands, the Philistines, and they [of the Mountain] shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria, —and Benjamin [shall 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, they of the captivity of this force pertaining to the sons of Israel, [shall possess] that of the Canaanites, up to Zarephath, and, they of the captivity of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad, shall 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 saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
那時，獲救者必上熙雍山，統治厄撒烏王；王權必歸於上主。
