Obadiah 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.

رُؤْيَا عُوبَدْيَا: هكَذَا قَالَ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ عَنْ أَدُومَ: سَمِعْنَا خَبَرًا مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّبِّ وَأُرْسِلَ رَسُولٌ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ: «قُومُوا، وَلْنَقُمْ عَلَيْهَا لِلْحَرْبِ».

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

« إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُكَ صَغِيرًا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. أَنْتَ مُحْتَقَرٌ جِدًّا.

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?

تَكَبُّرُ قَلْبِكَ قَدْ خَدَعَكَ أَيُّهَا السَّاكِنُ فِي مَحَاجِئِ الصَّخْرِ، رِفْعَةَ مَقْعَدِهِ، الْقَائِلُ فِي قَلْبِهِ: مَنْ يُحْدِرُنِي إِلَى الأَرْضِ؟

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.

إِنْ كُنْتَ تَرْتَفِعُ كَالنَّسْرِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ عُشُّكَ مَوْضُوعًا بَيْنَ النُّجُومِ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ أُحْدِرُكَ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ.

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?

إِنْ أَتَاكَ سَارِقُونَ أَوْ لُصُوصُ لَيْل. كَيْفَ هَلِكْتَ! أَفَلاَ يَسْرِقُونَ حَاجَتَهُمْ؟ إِنْ أَتَاكَ قَاطِفُونَ أَفَلاَ يُبْقُونَ خُصَاصَةً؟

How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

كَيْفَ فُتِّشَ عِيسُو وَفُحِصَتْ مَخَابِئُهُ؟

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.

طَرَدَكَ إِلَى التُّخْمِ كُلُّ مُعَاهِدِيكَ. خَدَعَكَ وَغَلَبَ عَلَيْكَ مُسَالِمُوكَ. أَهْلُ خُبْزِكَ وَضَعُوا شَرَكًا تَحْتَكَ. لاَ فَهْمَ فِيهِ.

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?

أَلاَ أُبِيدُ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ، الْحُكَمَاءَ مِنْ أَدُومَ، وَالْفَهْمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو؟

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.

فَيَرْتَاعُ أَبْطَالُكَ يَا تَيْمَانُ، لِكَىْ يَنْقَرِضَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو بِالْقَتْلِ.

For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

« مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِكَ لأَخِيكَ يَعْقُوبَ، يَغْشَاكَ الْخِزْيُ وَتَنْقَرِضُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ.

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.

يَوْمَ وَقَفْتَ مُقَابِلَهُ يَوْمَ سَبَتِ الأَعَاجِمُ قُدْرَتَهُ، وَدَخَلَتِ الْغُرَبَاءُ أَبْوَابَهُ، وَأَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، كُنْتَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ.

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.

وَيَجِبُ أَنْ لاَ تَنْظُرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ أَخِيكَ يَوْمَ مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَلاَ تَشْمَتَ بِبَنِي يَهُوذَا يَوْمَ هَلاَكِهِمْ، وَلاَ تَفْغَرَ فَمَكَ يَوْمَ الضِّيقِ،

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;

وَلاَ تَدْخُلَ بَابَ شَعْبِي يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِمْ، وَلاَ تَنْظُرَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا إِلَى مُصِيبَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ، وَلاَ تَمُدَّ يَدًا إِلَى قُدْرَتِهِ يَوْمَ بَلِيَّتِهِ،

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.

وَلاَ تَقِفَ عَلَى الْمَفْرَقِ لِتَقْطَعَ مُنْفَلِتِيهِ، وَلاَ تُسَلِّمَ بَقَايَاهُ يَوْمَ الضِّيقِ.

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.

فَإِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ يَوْمُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى كُلِّ الأُمَمِ. كَمَا فَعَلْتَ يُفْعَلُ بِكَ. عَمَلُكَ يَرْتَدُّ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.

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.

لأَنَّهُ كَمَا شَرِبْتُمْ عَلَى جَبَلِ قُدْسِي، يَشْرَبُ جَمِيعُ الأُمَمِ دَائِمًا، يَشْرَبُونَ وَيَجْرَعُونَ وَيَكُونُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا.

But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

« وَأَمَّا جَبَلُ صِهْيَوْنَ فَتَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ نَجَاةٌ، وَيَكُونُ مُقَدَّسًا، وَيَرِثُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ.

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.

وَيَكُونُ بَيْتُ يَعْقُوبَ نَارًا، وَبَيْتُ يُوسُفَ لَهِيبًا، وَبَيْتُ عِيسُو قَشًّا، فَيُشْعِلُونَهُمْ وَيَأْكُلُونَهُمْ وَلاَ يَكُونُ بَاق مِنْ بَيْتِ عِيسُو، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ تَكَلَّمَ».

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.

وَيَرِثُ أَهْلُ الْجَنُوبِ جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَأَهْلُ السَّهْلِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، وَيَرِثُونَ بِلاَدَ أَفْرَايِمَ وَبِلاَدَ السَّامِرَةِ، وَيَرِثُ بِنْيَامِينُ جِلْعَادَ.

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.

وَسَبْيُ هذَا الْجَيْشِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرِثُونَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مِنَ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ إِلَى صَرْفَةَ. وَسَبْيُ أُورُشَلِيمَ الَّذِينَ فِي صَفَارِدَ يَرِثُونَ مُدُنَ الْجَنُوبِ.

And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

وَيَصْعَدُ مُخَلِّصُونَ عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ لِيَدِينُوا جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَيَكُونُ الْمُلْكُ لِلرَّبِّ.
