俄巴底亚书
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
有关以东的预言
1 俄巴底亚所见的异象。
主耶和华指着以东这样说:
我们从耶和华那里听见了一个信息,
有一位使者被派往列国去,说:
“起来吧!我们起来与以东争战。”
以东的刑罚
2 看哪!我必使你在列国中成为弱小的,
你必大受藐视。
3 你心中的傲气欺骗了你;
你这住在岩石的隐密处,
居所在高处的啊!
你心里说:
“谁能把我拉下地呢?”
4 你虽如鹰高飞,
在星宿之间搭窝,
我也必从那里把你拉下来。
这是耶和华的宣告。
5 窃贼若来到你那里,
强盗若夜间来到,
岂不会偷窃直到够了呢?
你将会怎样被灭绝!
摘葡萄的若来到你那里,
岂不只剩下几粒葡萄吗?
6 以扫要怎样被搜索,
他收藏的宝物被搜查出来。
7 曾与你结盟的,
都把你送到边界;
本来与你友好的,
却欺骗你,胜过你;
与你同席的(“与你同席的”或译:“吃你的食物的”),
在你脚下暗设网罗,
你却毫不晓得。
8 耶和华宣告说:到那日,
我岂不从以东灭绝智慧人吗?
岂不从以扫山除掉聪明人吗?
9 提幔哪!你的勇士要惊惶,
因此在以扫山上人人被杀戮剪除。
惩罚以东的原因
10 因你对兄弟雅各行强暴,
你必受羞辱,
永被剪除。
11 外地人劫掠雅各财物的日子,
外族人进入他的城门,
为耶路撒冷抽签;
那时你竟袖手旁观,
甚至好象他们中间的一分子!
12 你兄弟遭遇祸患的日子,
你不该看着不理;
犹大人被灭的日子,
你不该幸灾乐祸;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该张口狂傲;
13 我子民遭灾的日子,
你不该进入他们的城门;
他们遭灾的日子,
你不该看着他们受苦;
他们遭灾的日子,
你不该抢夺他们的财物。
14 你不该站在岔路口,
剪除他们中间逃脱的人;
他们遭难的日子,
你不该把他们生还的人交出来。
15 耶和华的日子临近万国了,
人必照你所行的向你施行,
你的报应必归到你的头上。
16 你们怎样在我的圣山上喝过苦杯,
万国也必照样不住地喝,
他们要喝,并且要吞下去,
他们就不再存在了。
雅各家将来的复兴
17 但在锡安山上必有逃脱的人,
那山必成为圣;
雅各家必得回他们原有的产业。
18 雅各家必成为火,
约瑟家必成为火焰;
以扫家却像碎秸,
被它们焚烧吞灭,
以扫家再没有生还的人了。
因为耶和华已经说了。
19 南地的人必占有以扫山,
低地的人必占有非利士人之地;
他们必占有以法莲的田野和撒玛利亚的田野;
便雅悯人必占有基列。
20 被掳到哈腊的以色列人,
必占有迦南人的地,直到撒勒法;
被掳到西法拉的耶路撒冷的人,
要占有南地众城。
21 必有拯救者登锡安山,
审判以扫山,
国权就属于耶和华了。

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
New International Version
Obadiah’s Vision(A)(B)
1 The vision(C) of Obadiah.
This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom(D)—
We have heard a message from the Lord:
An envoy(E) was sent to the nations to say,
“Rise, let us go against her for battle”(F)—
2 “See, I will make you small(G) among the nations;
you will be utterly despised.
3 The pride(H) of your heart has deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks[a](I)
and make your home on the heights,
you who say to yourself,
‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’(J)
4 Though you soar like the eagle
and make your nest(K) among the stars,
from there I will bring you down,”(L)
declares the Lord.(M)
5 “If thieves came to you,
if robbers in the night—
oh, what a disaster awaits you!—
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?(N)
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies(O) will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread(P) will set a trap for you,[b]
but you will not detect it.
8 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“will I not destroy(Q) the wise men of Edom,
those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, Teman,(R) will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau’s mountains
will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence(S) against your brother Jacob,(T)
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.(U)
11 On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots(V) for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.(W)
12 You should not gloat(X) over your brother
in the day of his misfortune,(Y)
nor rejoice(Z) over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,(AA)
nor boast(AB) so much
in the day of their trouble.(AC)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity(AD)
in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
in the day of their disaster.
14 You should not wait at the crossroads
to cut down their fugitives,(AE)
nor hand over their survivors
in the day of their trouble.
15 “The day of the Lord is near(AF)
for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
your deeds(AG) will return upon your own head.
16 Just as you drank(AH) on my holy hill,(AI)
so all the nations will drink(AJ) continually;
they will drink and drink
and be as if they had never been.(AK)
17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance;(AL)
it will be holy,(AM)
and Jacob will possess his inheritance.(AN)
18 Jacob will be a fire
and Joseph a flame;
Esau will be stubble,
and they will set him on fire(AO) and destroy(AP) him.
There will be no survivors(AQ)
from Esau.”
The Lord has spoken.
19 People from the Negev will occupy
the mountains of Esau,
and people from the foothills will possess
the land of the Philistines.(AR)
They will occupy the fields of Ephraim and Samaria,(AS)
and Benjamin(AT) will possess Gilead.
20 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan
will possess the land as far as Zarephath;(AU)
the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the towns of the Negev.(AV)
21 Deliverers(AW) will go up on[c] Mount Zion
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.(AX)

King James Version
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.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine 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?
4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
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?
6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
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 wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
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?
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.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
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.
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.
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;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
16 For as ye have drunk 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.
17 But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
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.
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.
20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
