< 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.
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!
2 Lo! small, have I made thee, among the nations—Despised art thou exceedingly!
我使你—以东在列国中为最小的, 被人大大藐视。
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?
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?
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.
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。
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?
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?
6 How have the things of Esau been searched out! his treasures been sought up!
以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻? 他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出?
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!
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。
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?
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?
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.
提幔哪, 你的勇士必惊惶, 甚至以扫山的人都被杀戮剪除。
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, shall shame, cover thee, —so shalt thou be cut off, to times age-abiding.
因你向兄弟雅各行强暴, 羞愧必遮盖你, 你也必永远断绝。
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!
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。
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。
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;
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;
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。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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。
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。
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;
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。
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.
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。
21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau, —So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
必有拯救者上到锡安山,审判以扫山; 国度就归耶和华了。
