¹有關以東的預言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。”

¹The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, [saying], Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

²以東的刑罰看哪！我必使你在列國中成為弱小的，你必大受藐視。

²Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised.

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？”

³The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O 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。

⁴Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.

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？

⁵If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal [only] till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

⁶以掃要怎樣被搜索，他收藏的寶物被搜查出來。

⁶How are [the things of] Esau searched! how are his hidden treasures sought out!

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，在你腳下暗設網羅，你卻毫不曉得。

⁷All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; [they that eat] thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is no understanding in him.

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？

⁸Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

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。

⁹And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.

¹⁰懲罰以東的原因因你對兄弟雅各行強暴，你必受羞辱，永被剪除。

¹⁰For the violence done to thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

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！

¹¹In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

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；

¹²But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress.

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。

¹³Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye [hands] on their substance in the day of their calamity.

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。

¹⁴And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

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。

¹⁵For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.

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。

¹⁶For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.

¹⁷雅各家將來的復興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。

¹⁷But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

¹⁸雅各家必成為火，約瑟家必成為火燄；以掃家卻像碎秸，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。

¹⁸And 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 burn among them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for Jehovah hath spoken it.

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。

¹⁹And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau, and they of the lowland the Philistines; and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria; and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.

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。

²⁰And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, that are [among] the Canaanites, [shall possess] even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, that are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.

²¹必有拯救者登錫安山，審判以掃山，國權就屬於耶和華了。

²¹And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's.
