俄巴底亚书
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
论以东因骄致祸
1 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 “我使你以东在列国中为最小的,被人大大藐视。 3 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 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 “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 以扫的隐密处何竟被搜寻?他隐藏的宝物何竟被查出? 7 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 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 提幔哪,你的勇士必惊惶,甚至以扫山的人都被杀戮剪除。
因陷害雅各
10 “因你向兄弟雅各行强暴,羞愧必遮盖你,你也必永远断绝。 11 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 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 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 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 “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 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。
雅各终必复承其业
17 “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 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 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 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 必有拯救者上到锡安山,审判以扫山,国度就归耶和华了。”
俄巴底亚书
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
1 俄巴底亚看到的异象。
耶和华惩罚以东
论到以东,
主耶和华这样说:
“我们从耶和华那里听到消息,
有位使者被派到各国,说,
‘来!我们去攻打以东吧!’”
2 耶和华对以东说:
“我要让你成为列国中最弱小的国家,
使你饱受藐视。
3 你住在悬崖峭壁间,
住在高山上,
自以为谁也不能把你拉下来,
但你的骄傲欺骗了你。
4 即使你如鹰高飞,
在星辰间筑巢,
我也必把你拉下来。
这是耶和华说的。
5 “盗贼深夜洗劫你的家,
不会洗劫一空;
人们摘葡萄,不会摘光;
但你会被彻底毁灭!
6 以扫[a]要被洗劫一空,
他藏的珍宝要被搜去。
7 你的盟友将你逐出家园;
你的朋友欺骗你,战胜你;
你的知己设陷阱害你,
你却懵然不知。”
8 耶和华说:“到那天,
我要毁灭以东的智者,
除掉以扫山上的明哲。
9 提幔的勇士必惊慌失措,
以扫山上的人尽遭杀戮。
惩罚以东的原因
10 “因你曾残暴地对待同胞兄弟雅各,
你必蒙羞,永遭毁灭。
11 外族人掠夺雅各的财物,
攻入耶路撒冷抽签分赃时,
你竟然袖手旁观,
就像他们的同伙一样。
12 你的亲族遭难之日,
你不该幸灾乐祸;
犹大人被灭的日子,
你不该兴高采烈;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该口出狂言;
13 我子民遭难的日子,
你不该闯进他们的城;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该幸灾乐祸;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该趁火打劫;
14 你不该站在路口截杀那些逃亡者;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该把幸存者交给仇敌。
15 “耶和华惩罚万国的日子近了。
必按你的所作所为报应你,
你的恶行必落到自己头上。
16 你们犹大人在我的圣山上怎样饱饮愤怒,
万国也要照样饮,
且要大口吞下,
直到他们完全消逝。
以色列的复兴
17 “然而,锡安山必成为避难所,
成为圣地。
雅各家必得到自己的产业。
18 雅各家将成为火,
约瑟家将成为烈焰,
以扫家将成为碎秸,
被火焚烧、吞噬,无一人逃脱。
这是耶和华说的。
19 “南地的人将占领以扫山;
丘陵的人将占领非利士,
夺取以法莲和撒玛利亚;
便雅悯人将占领基列。
20 被掳的以色列人将返回家园,
占领远至撒勒法一带的土地;
从耶路撒冷被掳到西法拉的人将占领南地各城。
21 拯救者必登上锡安山,
统治以扫山,
耶和华必做王掌权。”

Obadiah
English Standard Version
1 The vision of Obadiah.
Edom Will Be Humbled
Thus says the Lord God (A)concerning Edom:
(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
and a messenger has been sent among the nations:
“Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”
2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations;
you shall be utterly despised.[a]
3 (C)The pride of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rock,[b]
in your lofty dwelling,
(D)who say in your heart,
“Who will bring me down to the ground?”
4 Though you soar aloft like the eagle,
though your nest is set among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,
declares the Lord.
5 If (E)thieves came to you,
if plunderers came by night—
how you have been destroyed!—
would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If (F)grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
6 (G)How Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7 All your allies have driven you to your border;
those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
(H)those who eat your bread[c] have set a trap beneath you—
(I)you have[d] no understanding.
8 (J)Will I not on that day, declares the Lord,
destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of (K)Mount Esau?
9 And your mighty men shall be dismayed, (L)O Teman,
so that every man from (M)Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.
Edom's Violence Against Jacob
10 (N)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
(O)and you shall be cut off forever.
11 (P)On the day that you stood aloof,
(Q)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
(R)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 (S)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
(T)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
(U)do not boast[e]
in the day of distress.
13 (V)Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
(W)do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
(X)do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 (Y)Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
The Day of the Lord Is Near
15 For (Z)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(AA)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 (AB)For as you have drunk on (AC)my holy mountain,
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.
17 (AD)But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape,
and it shall be holy,
(AE)and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
18 (AF)The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
and the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau (AG)stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
(AH)and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.
The Kingdom of the Lord
19 Those of (AI)the Negeb (AJ)shall possess (AK)Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah shall possess (AL)the land of the Philistines;
they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of (AM)Samaria,
and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
20 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel
shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as (AN)Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
21 (AO)Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion
to rule (AP)Mount Esau,
and (AQ)the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
