< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God against Edom, We haue heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassadour is sent among the heathen: arise, and let vs rise vp against her to battel.
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 Beholde, I haue made thee small among the heathen: thou art vtterly despised.
我使你—以东在列国中为最小的, 被人大大藐视。
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceiued thee: thou that dwellest in the cleftes of the rockes, whose habitation is hie, that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me downe 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 exalt thy selfe as the eagle, and make thy nest among the starres, thence will I bring thee downe, sayth the Lord.
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 Came theeues to thee or robbers by night? howe wast thou brought to silence? woulde they not haue stolen, til they had ynough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, woulde they not leaue some grapes?
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 Howe are the things of Esau sought vp, and his treasures searched?
以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻? 他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出?
7 All the men of thy confederacie haue driuen thee to ye borders: the men that were at peace with thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against thee: they that eate thy bread, haue laid a wound vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding 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 not I in that day, saith the Lord, euen destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding from the mount of 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 And thy strong men, O Teman, shall bee afraide, because euery one of the mount of Esau shalbe cut off 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 crueltie against thy brother Iaakob, shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.
因你向兄弟雅各行强暴, 羞愧必遮盖你, 你也必永远断绝。
11 When thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers caried away his substance, and straungers entred into his gates, and cast lots vpon Ierusalem, euen thou wast as 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 But thou shouldest not haue beholden the day of thy brother, in the day that hee was made a stranger, neither shouldest thou haue reioyced ouer the children of Iudah, in the day of their destruction: thou shouldest not haue spoken proudly in the day of affliction.
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 Thou shouldest not haue entred into the gate of my people, in the day of their destruction, neither shouldest thou haue once looked on their affliction in the day of their destruction, nor haue layde hands on their substance in the day of their destruction.
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 Neyther shouldest thou haue stande in the crosse wayes to cut off them, that shoulde escape, neither shouldest thou haue shut vp the remnant thereof in the day of affliction.
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 the day of the Lord is neere, vpon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall bee done to thee: thy reward shall returne vpon thine 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 yee haue drunke vpon mine holy Mountaine, so shall all the heathen drinke continually: yea, they shall drinke and swallow vp, and they shalbe as though they had not bene.
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 vpon mount Zion shalbe deliuerance, and it shalbe holy, and the house of Iaakob shall possesse their 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 Iaakob shalbe a fire, and the house of Ioseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble, and they shall kindle in them and deuoure them: and there shall bee no remnant of the house of Esau for the Lord hath spoken it.
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 And they shall possesse the South side of the mount of Esau, and the plaine of the Philistims: and they shall possesse the fieldes of Ephraim, and the fieldes of Samaria, and Beniamin shall haue 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 the captiuitie of this host of the children of Israel, which were among the Canaanites, shall possesse vnto Zarephath, and the captiuitie of Ierusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possesse 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 they that shall saue, shall come vp to mount Zion to iudge the mount of Esau, and the kingdome shalbe the Lords.
必有拯救者上到锡安山,审判以扫山; 国度就归耶和华了。
