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. This is what the LORD says about Edom. We have heard news from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let's rise up against her 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
Look, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.
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
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
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 mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there," 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 came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you—wouldn't they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn't they leave some gleaning grapes?
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
How Esau will be ransacked. How his hidden treasures are sought out.
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
All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Those who eat bread with you lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him."
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
"Won't I in that day," says the LORD, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of 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 mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
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
For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be 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 that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.
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
But do not look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction. Do not speak proudly in the day of 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
Do not enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Do not look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
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
Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Do not deliver up those of his who remain 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
For the day of the LORD is near all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon 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
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will 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 in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess those who dispossessed them.
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
The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, 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
Those of the Negev will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. 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 captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
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
Those who have been saved will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be the LORD's.
