עבדיה 1
| חֲזוֹן עֹֽבַדְיָה כֹּֽה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יֱהֹוִה לֶאֱדוֹם שְׁמוּעָה שָׁמַעְנוּ מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה וְצִיר בַּגּוֹיִם שֻׁלָּח קוּמוּ וְנָקוּמָה עָלֶיהָ לַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ | 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!”—
| הִנֵּה קָטֹן נְתַתִּיךָ בַּגּוֹיִם בָּזוּי אַתָּה מְאֹֽד׃ | 2 |
“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
| זְדוֹן לִבְּךָ הִשִּׁיאֶךָ שֹׁכְנִי בְחַגְוֵי־סֶלַע מְרוֹם שִׁבְתּוֹ אֹמֵר בְּלִבּוֹ מִי יוֹרִדֵנִי אָֽרֶץ׃ | 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?’
| אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כּֽוֹכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אוֹרִֽידְךָ נְאֻם־יְהֹוָֽה׃ | 4 |
Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,”
| אִם־גַּנָּבִים בָּאֽוּ־לְךָ אִם־שׁוֹדְדֵי לַיְלָה אֵיךְ נִדְמֵיתָה הֲלוֹא יִגְנְבוּ דַּיָּם אִם־בֹּֽצְרִים בָּאוּ לָךְ הֲלוֹא יַשְׁאִירוּ עֹלֵלֽוֹת׃ | 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?
| אֵיךְ נֶחְפְּשׂוּ עֵשָׂו נִבְעוּ מַצְפֻּנָֽיו׃ | 6 |
But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
| עַֽד־הַגְּבוּל שִׁלְּחוּךָ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי בְרִיתֶךָ הִשִּׁיאוּךָ יָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ לַחְמְךָ יָשִׂימוּ מָזוֹר תַּחְתֶּיךָ אֵין תְּבוּנָה בּֽוֹ׃ | 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.
| הֲלוֹא בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נְאֻם־יְהֹוָה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי חֲכָמִים מֵֽאֱדוֹם וּתְבוּנָה מֵהַר עֵשָֽׂו׃ | 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?
| וְחַתּוּ גִבּוֹרֶיךָ תֵּימָן לְמַעַן יִכָּֽרֶת־אִישׁ מֵהַר עֵשָׂו מִקָּֽטֶל׃ | 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.
| מֵחֲמַס אָחִיךָ יַעֲקֹב תְּכַסְּךָ בוּשָׁה וְנִכְרַתָּ לְעוֹלָֽם׃ | 10 |
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
| בְּיוֹם עֲמׇֽדְךָ מִנֶּגֶד בְּיוֹם שְׁבוֹת זָרִים חֵילוֹ וְנׇכְרִים בָּאוּ שְׁעָרָו וְעַל־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יַדּוּ גוֹרָל גַּם־אַתָּה כְּאַחַד מֵהֶֽם׃ | 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.
| וְאַל־תֵּרֶא בְיוֹם־אָחִיךָ בְּיוֹם נׇכְרוֹ וְאַל־תִּשְׂמַח לִבְנֵֽי־יְהוּדָה בְּיוֹם אׇבְדָם וְאַל־תַּגְדֵּל פִּיךָ בְּיוֹם צָרָֽה׃ | 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.
| אַל־תָּבוֹא בְשַֽׁעַר־עַמִּי בְּיוֹם אֵידָם אַל־תֵּרֶא גַם־אַתָּה בְּרָעָתוֹ בְּיוֹם אֵידוֹ וְאַל־תִּשְׁלַחְנָה בְחֵילוֹ בְּיוֹם אֵידֽוֹ׃ | 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.
| וְאַֽל־תַּעֲמֹד עַל־הַפֶּרֶק לְהַכְרִית אֶת־פְּלִיטָיו וְאַל־תַּסְגֵּר שְׂרִידָיו בְּיוֹם צָרָֽה׃ | 14 |
Nor should you stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, nor deliver up their survivors in the day of their distress.
| כִּֽי־קָרוֹב יוֹם־יְהֹוָה עַל־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ יֵעָשֶׂה לָּךְ גְּמֻלְךָ יָשׁוּב בְּרֹאשֶֽׁךָ׃ | 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.
| כִּי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שְׁתִיתֶם עַל־הַר קׇדְשִׁי יִשְׁתּוּ כׇֽל־הַגּוֹיִם תָּמִיד וְשָׁתוּ וְלָעוּ וְהָיוּ כְּלוֹא הָיֽוּ׃ | 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.
| וּבְהַר צִיּוֹן תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה וְהָיָה קֹדֶשׁ וְיָֽרְשׁוּ בֵּית יַֽעֲקֹב אֵת מוֹרָֽשֵׁיהֶֽם׃ | 17 |
But on Mount Zion there will be deliverance, and it will be holy, and the house of Jacob will reclaim their possession.
| וְהָיָה בֵית־יַעֲקֹב אֵשׁ וּבֵית יוֹסֵף לֶהָבָה וּבֵית עֵשָׂו לְקַשׁ וְדָלְקוּ בָהֶם וַאֲכָלוּם וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה שָׂרִיד לְבֵית עֵשָׂו כִּי יְהֹוָה דִּבֵּֽר׃ | 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.”
| וְיָרְשׁוּ הַנֶּגֶב אֶת־הַר עֵשָׂו וְהַשְּׁפֵלָה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְיָרְשׁוּ אֶת־שְׂדֵה אֶפְרַיִם וְאֵת שְׂדֵה שֹׁמְרוֹן וּבִנְיָמִן אֶת־הַגִּלְעָֽד׃ | 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.
| וְגָלֻת הַֽחֵל־הַזֶּה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶֽׁר־כְּנַעֲנִים עַד־צָרְפַת וְגָלֻת יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם אֲשֶׁר בִּסְפָרַד יִֽרְשׁוּ אֵת עָרֵי הַנֶּֽגֶב׃ | 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.
| וְעָלוּ מֽוֹשִׁעִים בְּהַר צִיּוֹן לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־הַר עֵשָׂו וְהָיְתָה לַֽיהֹוָה הַמְּלוּכָֽה׃ | 21 |
The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the LORD.
