Obadiah 1

1The 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.

חֲזֹון עֹבַדְיָה כֹּה־אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה לֶאֱדֹום שְׁמוּעָה שָׁמַעְנוּ מֵאֵת יְהוָה וְצִיר בַּגֹּויִם שֻׁלָּח קוּמוּ וְנָקוּמָה עָלֶיהָ לַמִּלְחָמָה׃ (3286)

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

הִנֵּה קָטֹן נְתַתִּיךָ בַּגֹּויִם בָּזוּי אַתָּה מְאֹד׃ (1636)

3The 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?

זְדֹון לִבְּךָ הִשִּׁיאֶךָ שֹׁכְנִי בְחַגְוֵי־סֶּלַע מְרֹום שִׁבְתֹּו אֹמֵר בְּלִבֹּו מִי יֹורִדֵנִי אָרֶץ׃ (2920)

4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

אִם־תַּגְבִּיהַּ כַּנֶּשֶׁר וְאִם־בֵּין כֹּוכָבִים שִׂים קִנֶּךָ מִשָּׁם אֹורִידְךָ נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ (2496)

5If 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?

אִם־גַּנָּבִים בָּאוּ־לְךָ אִם־שֹׁודְדֵי לַיְלָה אֵיךְ נִדְמֵיתָה הֲלֹוא יִגְנְבוּ דַּיָּם אִם־בֹּצְרִים בָּאוּ לָךְ הֲלֹוא יַשְׁאִירוּ עֹלֵלֹות׃ (2899)

6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!

אֵיךְ נֶחְפְּשׂוּ עֵשָׂו נִבְעוּ מַצְפֻּנָיו׃ (1255)

7All 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.

עַד־הַגְּבוּל שִׁלְּחוּךָ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי בְרִיתֶךָ הִשִּׁיאוּךָ יָכְלוּ לְךָ אַנְשֵׁי שְׁלֹמֶךָ לַחְמְךָ יָשִׂימוּ מָזֹור תַּחְתֶּיךָ אֵין תְּבוּנָה בֹּו׃ (4823)

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

הֲלֹוא בַּיֹּום הַהוּא נְאֻם יְהוָה וְהַאֲבַדְתִּי חֲכָמִים מֵאֱדֹום וּתְבוּנָה מֵהַר עֵשָׂו׃ (1961)

9And 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.

וְחַתּוּ גִבֹּורֶיךָ תֵּימָן לְמַעַן יִכָּרֶת־אִישׁ מֵהַר עֵשָׂו מִקָּטֶל׃ (3092)

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

מֵחֲמַס אָחִיךָ יַעֲקֹב תְּכַסְּךָ בוּשָׁה וְנִכְרַתָּ לְעֹולָם׃ (2034)

11In 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.

בְּיֹום עֲמָדְךָ מִנֶּגֶד בְּיֹום שְׁבֹות זָרִים חֵילֹו וְנָכְרִים בָּאוּ [שַׁעֲרֹו כ] (שְׁעָרָיו ק) וְעַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַם יַדּוּ גֹורָל גַּם־אַתָּה כְּאַחַד מֵהֶם׃ (4501)

12But 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.

וְאַל־תֵּרֶא בְיֹום־אָחִיךָ בְּיֹום נָכְרֹו וְאַל־תִּשְׂמַח לִבְנֵי־יְהוּדָה בְּיֹום אָבְדָם וְאַל־תַּגְדֵּל פִּיךָ בְּיֹום צָרָה׃ (3018)

13Thou 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;

אַל־תָּבֹוא בְשַׁעַר־עַמִּי בְּיֹום אֵידָם אַל־תֵּרֶא גַם־אַתָּה בְּרָעָתֹו בְּיֹום אֵידֹו וְאַל־תִּשְׁלַחְנָה בְחֵילֹו בְּיֹום אֵידֹו׃ (4048)

14Neither 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.

וְאַל־תַּעֲמֹד עַל־הַפֶּרֶק לְהַכְרִית אֶת־פְּלִיטָיו וְאַל־תַּסְגֵּר שְׂרִידָיו בְּיֹום צָרָה׃ (3830)

15For 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.

כִּי־קָרֹוב יֹום־יְהוָה עַל־כָּל־הַגֹּויִם כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתָ יֵעָשֶׂה לָּךְ גְּמֻלְךָ יָשׁוּב בְּרֹאשֶׁךָ׃ (3304)

16For 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.

כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר שְׁתִיתֶם עַל־הַר קָדְשִׁי יִשְׁתּוּ כָל־הַגֹּויִם תָּמִיד וְשָׁתוּ וְלָעוּ וְהָיוּ כְּלֹוא הָיוּ׃ (4633)

17But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

וּבְהַר צִיֹּון תִּהְיֶה פְלֵיטָה וְהָיָה קֹדֶשׁ וְיָרְשׁוּ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב אֵת מֹורָשֵׁיהֶם ׃ (3471)

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 kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

וְהָיָה בֵית־יַעֲקֹב אֵשׁ וּבֵית יֹוסֵף לֶהָבָה וּבֵית עֵשָׂו לְקַשׁ וְדָלְקוּ בָהֶם וַאֲכָלוּם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה שָׂרִיד לְבֵית עֵשָׂו כִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר׃ (4718)

19And 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.

וְיָרְשׁוּ הַנֶּגֶב אֶת־הַר עֵשָׂו וְהַשְּׁפֵלָה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וְיָרְשׁוּ אֶת־שְׂדֵה אֶפְרַיִם וְאֵת שְׂדֵה שֹׁמְרֹון וּבִנְיָמִן אֶת־הַגִּלְעָד׃ (6797)

20And 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.

וְגָלֻת הַחֵל־הַזֶּה לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר־כְּנַעֲנִים עַד־צָרְפַת וְגָלֻת יְרוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר בִּסְפָרַד יִרְשׁוּ אֵת עָרֵי הַנֶּגֶב׃ (5846)

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

וְעָלוּ מֹושִׁעִים בְּהַר צִיֹּון לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־הַר עֵשָׂו וְהָיְתָה לַיהוָה הַמְּלוּכָה׃ (2930)
