Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

1 俄巴底亞看到的異象。

耶和華懲罰以東

論到以東，
主耶和華這樣說：
「我們從耶和華那裡聽到消息，
有位使者被派到各國，說，
『來！我們去攻打以東吧！』」
2 耶和華對以東說：
「我要讓你成為列國中最弱小的國家，
使你飽受藐視。
3 你住在懸崖峭壁間，
住在高山上，
自以為誰也不能把你拉下來，
但你的驕傲欺騙了你。
4 即使你如鷹高飛，
在星辰間築巢，
我也必把你拉下來。
這是耶和華說的。

5 「盜賊深夜洗劫你的家，
不會洗劫一空；
人們摘葡萄，不會摘光；
但你會被徹底毀滅！
6 以掃[a]要被洗劫一空，
他藏的珍寶要被搜去。
7 你的盟友將你逐出家園；
你的朋友欺騙你，戰勝你；
你的知己設陷阱害你，
你卻懵然不知。」
8 耶和華說：「到那天，
我要毀滅以東的智者，
除掉以掃山上的明哲。
9 提幔的勇士必驚慌失措，
以掃山上的人盡遭殺戮。

懲罰以東的原因

10 「因你曾殘暴地對待同胞兄弟雅各，
你必蒙羞，永遭毀滅。
11 外族人掠奪雅各的財物，
攻入耶路撒冷抽籤分贓時，
你竟然袖手旁觀，
就像他們的同夥一樣。
12 你的親族遭難之日，
你不該幸災樂禍；
猶大人被滅的日子，
你不該興高采烈；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該口出狂言；
13 我子民遭難的日子，
你不該闖進他們的城；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該幸災樂禍；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該趁火打劫；
14 你不該站在路口截殺那些逃亡者；
他們遭難的日子，
你不該把倖存者交給仇敵。

15 「耶和華懲罰萬國的日子近了。
必按你的所作所為報應你，
你的惡行必落到自己頭上。
16 你們猶大人在我的聖山上怎樣飽飲憤怒，
萬國也要照樣飲，
且要大口吞下，
直到他們完全消逝。

以色列的復興

17 「然而，錫安山必成為避難所，
成為聖地。
雅各家必得到自己的產業。
18 雅各家將成為火，
約瑟家將成為烈焰，
以掃家將成為碎稭，
被火焚燒、吞噬，無一人逃脫。
這是耶和華說的。

19 「南地的人將佔領以掃山；
丘陵的人將佔領非利士，
奪取以法蓮和撒瑪利亞；
便雅憫人將佔領基列。
20 被擄的以色列人將返回家園，
佔領遠至撒勒法一帶的土地；
從耶路撒冷被擄到西法拉的人將佔領南地各城。
21 拯救者必登上錫安山，
統治以掃山，
耶和華必做王掌權。」

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)

Obadiah
New American Standard Bible

Edom Will Be Humbled

1 The vision of Obadiah.

This is what the Lord [a]God says concerning (A)Edom—

(B)We have heard a report from the Lord,
And a (C)messenger has been sent among the nations saying,
“(D)Arise, and let’s go up against her for battle”—
2 “Behold, I will make you (E)small among the nations;
You are greatly despised.
3 The (F)arrogance of your heart has deceived you,
The one who lives in the clefts of [b]the (G)rock,
On the height of his dwelling place,
Who says in his heart,
‘(H)Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 Though you (I)make your home high like the eagle,
Though you set your nest among the (J)stars,
From there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
5 “If (K)thieves came to you,
If [c]robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only [d]until they had enough?
If grape-pickers came to you,
(L)Would they not leave some gleanings?
6 Oh how Esau will be (M)searched,
And his hidden treasures searched out!
7 All the (N)people [e]allied with you
Will send you to the border,
And the people at peace with you
Will deceive you and overpower you.
They who eat your (O)bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is (P)no understanding [f]in him.)
8 Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“(Q)Eliminate wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 Then your (R)warriors will be filled with terror, (S)Teman,
So that everyone will be (T)eliminated from the mountain of Esau by murder.

10 “Because of (U)violence to your brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you,
(V)And you will be eliminated forever.
11 On the day that you (W)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (X)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(Y)You too were as one of them.
12 (Z)Do not [g]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (AA)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, (AB)do not [h]boast
On the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
On the (AC)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not [i]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not (AD)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (AE)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.

The Day of the Lord and the Future

15 “For the (AF)day of the Lord is near for all the nations.
(AG)Just as you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (AH)dealings will return on your own head.
16 For just as you (AI)drank on (AJ)My holy mountain,
All the nations (AK)will drink continually.
They will drink [j]to the last drop,
And become as if they had never existed.
17 But on Mount (AL)Zion there will be those who escape,
And it will be holy.
And the house of Jacob will [k](AM)possess their [l]property.
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a (AN)fire,
And the house of Joseph a flame;
But the house of Esau will be like stubble.
And they will set [m]them on fire and consume [n]them,
So that there will be (AO)no survivor of the house of Esau,”
For the Lord has spoken.
19 Then those of the [o]Negev will [p](AP)possess the mountain of Esau,
And those of the [q]Shephelah the (AQ)Philistine plain;
Also, (AR)they will [r]possess the territory of Ephraim and the territory of Samaria,
And Benjamin the territory of Gilead.
20 And the exiles of this army of the sons of Israel,
Who are among the Canaanites as far as (AS)Zarephath,
And the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad,
Will [s]possess the (AT)cities of the Negev.
21 [t]The (AU)deliverers will ascend Mount Zion
To judge the mountain of Esau,
And the (AV)kingdom will be the Lord’s.
