オバデヤ書 1
1 オバデヤの預言 主ヱホバ、エドムにつきて斯いひたまふ 我らヱホバより出たる音信を聞けり 一人の使者國々の民の中に遣されて云ふ 起よ我儕起てエドムを攻撃んと
The vision of Obadiah; what the Lord said about Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, a messenger has been sent among the nations; Rise up, let us rise against Edom in battle!
2 我汝をして國々の中において小き者たらしむ 汝は大に藐視らるるなり
I will make you small among the nations, and despised by all!
3 山崖の巖屋に居り高き處に住む者よ 汝が心の傲慢なんぢを欺けり 汝心の中に謂ふ誰か我を地に曵くだすことを得んと
Your proud heart has misled you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, you who build on high your dwelling. You say to yourselves, ‘Who can bring me down to earth?’
4 汝たとひ鷲のごとくに高く擧り星の間に巣を造るとも我そこより汝を曵くださん ヱホバこれを言たまふ
Though you build high as the eagle, though between the stars you set your nest, from there will I bring you down, says the Lord.
5 盜賊汝に來り 強盜夜なんぢに來り竊むともその心に滿るときは止ざらんや 嗚呼なんぢは滅されて絶ゆ 葡萄を摘む者汝にいたるも尚 幾何を遺さざらんや
If thieves had come to you, marauders by night would they not have stolen only as much as they needed? If grape-gatherers had come to you would they not have left some gleanings?
6 嗚呼エサウは搜されその隱しおける物は探りいださる
Descendents of Esau, all your treasures are looted.
7 汝と盟約を結べる人々はみな汝を國境に逐やり汝と和好をなせる人々はみな汝を欺きて汝に勝ち汝の食物を食ふ者等は汝の下に羂を設く 彼の中には穎悟あらず
To your border they have driven you, all your allies have betrayed you. Your avowed friends have overpowered you, they have set a trap for you. Where is your wisdom now?
8 ヱホバ言たまふ當日には我智慧ある者をヱドムより絶除き穎悟をエサウの山より絶除かざらんや
The Lord says: On that day, I will destroy the wise of Edom, drive wisdom out of Mount Esau.
9 テマンよ汝の勇士は驚き懼れん 而して人みな終に殺されてエサウの山より絶除かるべし
Your warriors will be filled with terror, Teman, none will be left alive on Mount Esau.
10 汝はその兄弟ヤコブに暴虐を加へたるに因て恥辱なんぢを蒙はん 汝は永遠に至るまで絶るべし
Because of the violence done to your relatives, the people of Jacob, shame covers you, you are cut off forever.
11 汝が遠く離れて立をりし日即ち異邦人これが財寳を奪ひ他國人これが門に進み入りエルサレムのために籤を掣たる日には汝も彼らの一人のごとくなりき
In the day when you stood aloof, in the day when strangers carried away their wealth, and strangers entered into their gates, and over Jerusalem cast lots, you were as one of those strangers.
12 汝は汝の兄弟の日すなはちその災禍の日を觀るべからず 又ユダの子孫の滅亡の日を喜ぶべからず その苦難の日には汝口を大きく開べからざるなり
You should not have gloated over your relatives, in the day of their misfortune. You should not have exulted over the land of Judah in the day of their destruction. You should not have laughed loudly at their distress.
13 我民の滅ぶる日には汝その門に入べからず其滅ぶる日には汝その患難を見べからず 又その滅ぶる日には汝その財寳に手をかく可らず
You should not have entered in at the gate of my people in the day of their disaster. You should not have gloated over their calamity, in the day of their disaster, nor stretched out your hand after their wealth in the day of their disaster,
14 汝路の辻々に立て その逃亡者を斬べからず 其患難の日にこれが遺る者を付すべからず
nor stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives, nor should you have betrayed their refugees in the day of distress.
15 ヱホバの日萬國に臨むこと邇し 汝の爲せるごとく汝も爲られ汝の應報なんぢの首に歸すべし
Near at hand is the Lord’s day for all the nations. As you have done so will it be done to you. Your deeds will come back on your own head.
16 汝等のわが聖山にて飮しごとく萬國の民も恒に飮ん 即ちみな飮かつ啜りて從前より有ざりし者のごとく成ん
As you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all the nations will drink in turn; They will drink deep and be as though they had not been.
17 シオン山には救はるる者等をりてその山聖所とならん またヤコブの家はその產業を獲ん
But on Mount Zion some will escape, it will be again holy, and those of the house of Jacob will again enter into their possessions.
18 ヤコブの家は火となりヨセフの家は火燄となりエサウの家は藁とならん 即ち彼等これが上に燃てこれを焚ん エサウの家には遺る者一人も無にいたるべし ヱホバこれを言なり
For the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will become stubble. They will kindle and devour it. Not even one of the house of Esau will escape, for the Lord has spoken.
19 南の人はエサウの山を獲 平地の人はペリシテを獲ん 又彼らはエフライムの地およびサマリヤの地を獲 べニヤミンはギレアデを獲ん
They will possess the Negeb and Mount Esau, and the Shephelah of the Philistines. They will possess the territory of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 かの擄はれゆきしイスラエルの軍旅はカナン人に屬する地をザレパテまで取ん セパラデにあるエルサレムの俘擄人は南の邑々を獲ん
The exiles of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negreb.
21 然る時に救者シオンの山に上りてエサウの山を鞫かん而して國はヱホバに歸すべし
The rescued will come up on Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom will belong to the Lord.
