Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. The Lord Yahweh says this concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Yahweh and an ambassador has been sent among the nations, saying, “Rise up! Let us rise up against her for battle!”
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 will make you small among the nations, you will be greatly despised.
看，我必使你在萬民中成為弱小的，極受人輕視。
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty home; who say in your heart, “Who will 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 you soar high like the eagle and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says 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 came to you, if robbers came by night—how you will be ruined!—would they not steal only as much as they needed? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave the 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 Esau has been ransacked, his hidden treasures will be searched out!
厄撒烏怎樣被人搜過了，她的寶藏怎樣被人探索了!
7 All the men of your alliance will send you on your way to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. They who eat your bread have set a trap under you. There is 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 “Will I not on that day,” says Yahweh, “destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding out of the mountain 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 Your mighty men will be dismayed, Teman, so that every man may be cut off from the mountain of 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 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame, and you will be cut off forever.
傷害了你的兄弟雅各伯，你必蒙受羞辱，永遭滅亡：
11 On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers carried away his wealth, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were 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 do not gloat over your brother's day, in the day of his misfortune, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boast in the day of their 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 my people's gate in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over their affliction in the day of their disaster, do not loot their wealth in the day of their ruin.
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 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut down his fugitives, and do not 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 the day of Yahweh is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return 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 as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. They will drink and swallow and it will be as though they had never existed.
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 there will be those that escape and it will 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 The house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will burn them, and consume them. There will be no survivors to the house of Esau, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
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 Those from the Negev will possess the mount of Esau and those of the Shepelah will possess the land of the Philistines. They will possess the land of Ephraim and the land 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 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel will possess the land of Canaan as far as Zarephath. The exiles of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
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 Deliverers will go up to Mount Zion to rule over the hill country of Esau, and the kingdom will belong to Yahweh.
那時，獲救者必上熙雍山，統治厄撒烏王；王權必歸於上主。
