< Obadiah 1 >

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
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り 一人の使者國々の民の中に遣されて云ふ 起よ我等起てエドムを攻撃んと
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
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
3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
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
4 Though thou shalt exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou shalt set thy nest among the stars, from there will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
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
5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
盜賊汝に來り 強盜夜なんぢに來り 竊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
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought!
嗚呼エサウは搜されその隱しおける物は探りいださる
7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a trap under thee: there is no understanding in him.
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
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
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
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
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
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
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
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
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
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
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
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
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
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.
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
15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head.
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
16 For as ye drank upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
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
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
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産業を獲ん
18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
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
19 And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
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及びサマリヤの地を獲 べニヤミンはギレアデを獲ん
20 And the captives of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
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らん セパラデにあるエルサレムの俘擄人は南の邑々を獲ん
21 And deliverers shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S.
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
