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。”

俄巴底亚书
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
有關以東的預言
1 俄巴底亞所見的異象。
主耶和華指著以東這樣說：
我們從耶和華那裡聽見了一個信息，
有一位使者被派往列國去，說：
“起來吧！我們起來與以東爭戰。”
以東的刑罰
2 看哪！我必使你在列國中成為弱小的，
你必大受藐視。
3 你心中的傲氣欺騙了你；
你這住在巖石的隱密處，
居所在高處的啊！
你心裡說：
“誰能把我拉下地呢？”
4 你雖如鷹高飛，
在星宿之間搭窩，
我也必從那裡把你拉下來。
這是耶和華的宣告。
5 竊賊若來到你那裡，
強盜若夜間來到，
豈不會偷竊直到夠了呢？
你將會怎樣被滅絕！
摘葡萄的若來到你那裡，
豈不只剩下幾粒葡萄嗎？
6 以掃要怎樣被搜索，
他收藏的寶物被搜查出來。
7 曾與你結盟的，
都把你送到邊界；
本來與你友好的，
卻欺騙你，勝過你；
與你同席的（“與你同席的”或譯：“吃你的食物的”），
在你腳下暗設網羅，
你卻毫不曉得。
8 耶和華宣告說：到那日，
我豈不從以東滅絕智慧人嗎？
豈不從以掃山除掉聰明人嗎？
9 提幔哪！你的勇士要驚惶，
因此在以掃山上人人被殺戮剪除。
懲罰以東的原因
10 因你對兄弟雅各行強暴，
你必受羞辱，
永被剪除。
11 外地人劫掠雅各財物的日子，
外族人進入他的城門，
為耶路撒冷抽籤；
那時你竟袖手旁觀，
甚至好像他們中間的一分子！
12 你兄弟遭遇禍患的日子，
你不該看著不理；
猶大人被滅的日子，
你不該幸災樂禍；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該張口狂傲；
13 我子民遭災的日子，
你不該進入他們的城門；
他們遭災的日子，
你不該看著他們受苦；
他們遭災的日子，
你不該搶奪他們的財物。
14 你不該站在岔路口，
剪除他們中間逃脫的人；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該把他們生還的人交出來。
15 耶和華的日子臨近萬國了，
人必照你所行的向你施行，
你的報應必歸到你的頭上。
16 你們怎樣在我的聖山上喝過苦杯，
萬國也必照樣不住地喝，
他們要喝，並且要吞下去，
他們就不再存在了。
雅各家將來的復興
17 但在錫安山上必有逃脫的人，
那山必成為聖；
雅各家必得回他們原有的產業。
18 雅各家必成為火，
約瑟家必成為火燄；
以掃家卻像碎稭，
被它們焚燒吞滅，
以掃家再沒有生還的人了。
因為耶和華已經說了。
19 南地的人必佔有以掃山，
低地的人必佔有非利士人之地；
他們必佔有以法蓮的田野和撒瑪利亞的田野；
便雅憫人必佔有基列。
20 被擄到哈臘的以色列人，
必佔有迦南人的地，直到撒勒法；
被擄到西法拉的耶路撒冷的人，
要佔有南地眾城。
21 必有拯救者登錫安山，
審判以掃山，
國權就屬於耶和華了。
Obadiah
New Living Translation
1 This is the vision that the Sovereign Lord revealed to Obadiah concerning the land of Edom.
Edom’s Judgment Announced
We have heard a message from the Lord
that an ambassador was sent to the nations to say,
“Get ready, everyone!
Let’s assemble our armies and attack Edom!”
2 The Lord says to Edom,
“I will cut you down to size among the nations;
you will be greatly despised.
3 You have been deceived by your own pride
because you live in a rock fortress
and make your home high in the mountains.
‘Who can ever reach us way up here?’
you ask boastfully.
4 But even if you soar as high as eagles
and build your nest among the stars,
I will bring you crashing down,”
says the Lord.
5 “If thieves came at night and robbed you
(what a disaster awaits you!),
they would not take everything.
Those who harvest grapes
always leave a few for the poor.
But your enemies will wipe you out completely!
6 Every nook and cranny of Edom[a]
will be searched and looted.
Every treasure will be found and taken.
7 “All your allies will turn against you.
They will help to chase you from your land.
They will promise you peace
while plotting to deceive and destroy you.
Your trusted friends will set traps for you,
and you won’t even know about it.
8 At that time not a single wise person
will be left in the whole land of Edom,”
says the Lord.
“For on the mountains of Edom
I will destroy everyone who has understanding.
9 The mightiest warriors of Teman
will be terrified,
and everyone on the mountains of Edom
will be cut down in the slaughter.
Reasons for Edom’s Punishment
10 “Because of the violence you did
to your close relatives in Israel,[b]
you will be filled with shame
and destroyed forever.
11 When they were invaded,
you stood aloof, refusing to help them.
Foreign invaders carried off their wealth
and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem,
but you acted like one of Israel’s enemies.
12 “You should not have gloated
when they exiled your relatives to distant lands.
You should not have rejoiced
when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune.
You should not have spoken arrogantly
in that terrible time of trouble.
13 You should not have plundered the land of Israel
when they were suffering such calamity.
You should not have gloated over their destruction
when they were suffering such calamity.
You should not have seized their wealth
when they were suffering such calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads,
killing those who tried to escape.
You should not have captured the survivors
and handed them over in their terrible time of trouble.
Edom Destroyed, Israel Restored
15 “The day is near when I, the Lord,
will judge all godless nations!
As you have done to Israel,
so it will be done to you.
All your evil deeds
will fall back on your own heads.
16 Just as you swallowed up my people
on my holy mountain,
so you and the surrounding nations
will swallow the punishment I pour out on you.
Yes, all you nations will drink and stagger
and disappear from history.
17 “But Jerusalem[c] will become a refuge for those who escape;
it will be a holy place.
And the people of Israel[d] will come back
to reclaim their inheritance.
18 The people of Israel will be a raging fire,
and Edom a field of dry stubble.
The descendants of Joseph will be a flame
roaring across the field, devouring everything.
There will be no survivors in Edom.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
19 “Then my people living in the Negev
will occupy the mountains of Edom.
Those living in the foothills of Judah[e]
will possess the Philistine plains
and take over the fields of Ephraim and Samaria.
And the people of Benjamin
will occupy the land of Gilead.
20 The exiles of Israel will return to their land
and occupy the Phoenician coast as far north as Zarephath.
The captives from Jerusalem exiled in the north[f]
will return home and resettle the towns of the Negev.
21 Those who have been rescued[g] will go up to[h] Mount Zion in Jerusalem
to rule over the mountains of Edom.
And the Lord himself will be king!”
