YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the
vision
of
Obadiah:
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
says
about
Edom —
We have heard a
message
from the
LORD;
an envoy
has
been
sent
among the
nations to
say
, “
Rise up
, and
let us go
to
battle
against her !”—
Thus
said
the Lord Jehovah
to
Edom ,
A
report
we have heard from Jehovah,
And
an ambassador
among nations was
sent
, `
Rise, yea,
let us rise
against her for
battle.'
“Behold
, I will
make
you
small
among the
nations ;
you
will
be
deeply
despised.
Lo
, little
I have
made
thee
among nations ,
Despised `art'
thou
exceedingly
.
The pride of your
heart has
deceived
you
, O dwellers
in the
clefts
of the
rocks
whose
habitation
is the
heights
, who
say
in your
heart, ‘
Who can
bring me down to the
ground
? ’
The pride of thy
heart hath
lifted
thee
up
, O dweller
in clifts
of a
rock,
(A
high
place
`
is '
his
habitation
, He
is
saying
in his
heart, `
Who doth
bring me down `
to '
earth
? ')
Though
you
soar
like
the
eagle and make
your
nest
among
the
stars, even
from there
I will
bring you
down, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
If
thou
dost
go
up
high
as
an
eagle ,
And if
between
stars thou
dost
set
thy
nest
, From thence
I bring thee
down, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“
If thieves came
to you
, if robbers
by
night —
oh
, how you
will
be
ruined—
would
they not steal only
what
they
wanted
? If grape
gatherers came
to you
, would
they not leave some
gleanings?
If thieves have
come
in
to thee
, If spoilers
of
the
night, How hast
thou
been
cut
off!
Do
they not steal their
sufficiency
? If gatherers have
come
in
to thee
, Do
they not leave gleanings?
But
how Esau will
be
pillaged,
his
hidden
treasures
sought
out!
How hath
Esau been
searched
out! Flowed
out
have
his
hidden
things,
All
the
men
allied
with
you
will
drive
you
to
the border ;
the
men
at
peace
with
you
will
deceive
and
overpower
you.
Those
who
eat
your
bread will
set
a trap
for
you
without
your
awareness
of
it.
Unto
the border sent
thee
have
all
thine
allies,
Forgotten
thee,
prevailed
over
thee,
have
thy
friends,
Thy
bread they
make
a snare
under
thee,
There
is
no
understanding
in
him!
In that day ,
declares
the
LORD
, will
I not
destroy
the wise men
of Edom and the
men
of
understanding in
the mountains
of Esau?
Is
it
not
in that day --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, That
I have
destroyed
the wise out
of Edom ,
And understanding out
of
the mount
of Esau?
Then
your
mighty men
, O Teman, will
be
terrified,
so that everyone
in
the mountains
of Esau will
be
cut down
in
the
slaughter
.
And
broken
down
have
been
thy
mighty ones
, O Teman, So that every
one
of
the mount
of Esau is
cut off
.
Because
of
the
violence against
your
brother Jacob, you
will
be
covered
with
shame and cut off forever
.
For
slaughter,
for
violence `to'
thy
brother Jacob, Cover
thee
doth
shame ,
And thou
hast
been
cut off --
to
the
age
.
On
the day you
stood
aloof
while
strangers carried
off
his wealth
and foreigners entered his gate
and cast
lots
for Jerusalem, you
were
just
like
one of them .
In
the day of
thy
standing
over-against,
In
the
day
of
strangers taking
captive
his force,
And foreigners have
entered his gates,
And for Jerusalem have
cast
a
lot
, Even
thou
`art'
as
one of them !
But
you
should
not gloat
in
that
day, your
brother’s
day of misfortune
, nor rejoice over the
people
of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast
proudly
in the
day of their
distress.
And
--
thou
dost
not look
on
the
day of
thy
brother
, On
the
day of his
alienation
, Nor dost
thou
rejoice over sons
of Judah ,
In the day of their destruction, Nor make
great
thy
mouth
in a
day of distress.
You
should
not
enter
the
gate of My people in the
day of their disaster
, nor gloat
over
their
affliction
in the
day of their
disaster
, nor loot
their
wealth
in the
day of their
disaster.
Nor
come
into
a
gate of My people in a
day of their calamity
, Nor look,
even
thou,
on
its
misfortune
in a
day of its
calamity
, Nor send
forth
against
its
force
in a
day of its
calamity,
Nor should
you
stand at
the crossroads
to cut off their
fugitives
, nor deliver up their
survivors
in the
day of their
distress.
Nor stand by
the breach
to cut off its
escaped
, Nor deliver up its
remnant
in a
day of distress.
For the Day of the
LORD
is
near
for
all the nations .
As you
have
done, it will
be
done to you;
your
recompense
will
return
upon
your
own head.
For near
`is'
the day of Jehovah,
on
all the nations ,
As thou
hast
done, it is
done to thee,
Thy
deed
doth
turn
back
on
thine
own head.
For as you
drank
on My holy mountain
, so
all the nations will
drink
continually .
They will
drink
and gulp
it
down;
they will
be
as if
they had
never
existed
.
For --
as ye
have
drunk
on My holy mount
, Drink
do
all the nations continually ,
And
they have
drunk
and have
swallowed,
And
they have
been
as they have
not
been
.
But
on
Mount Zion there will
be
deliverance
, and it will
be
holy, and the house of Jacob will
reclaim
their possession
.
And
in
mount Zion there is
an
escape
, And it hath
been
holy, And the house of Jacob have
possessed
their possessions
.
Then
the house of Jacob will
be
a blazing
fire, and the house of Joseph a burning
flame ;
but
the house of Esau will
be
stubble —
Jacob
will
set
it
ablaze
and consume
it.
Therefore
no
survivor
will
remain
from
the house of Esau .”
For the
LORD
has
spoken.
And
the house of Jacob hath
been
a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame ,
And
the house of Esau for
stubble ,
And they
have
burned
among
them,
And
they
have
consumed
them,
And
there
is
not
a
remnant
to
the house of Esau ,
For Jehovah
hath
spoken.
Those
from
the Negev
will
possess
the mountains
of Esau ;
those
from
the
foothills
will
possess
the land
of
the Philistines .
They will
occupy
the fields
of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will
possess
Gilead.
And
they
have
possessed
the south
with
the mount
of Esau ,
And
the low
country
with
the Philistines ,
And
they have
possessed
the field
of Ephraim ,
And the
field
of
Samaria, And Benjamin with
Gilead.
And the exiles
of this host
of the Israelites
will
possess
the
land
of the Canaanites as
far
as
Zarephath;
and the exiles
from
Jerusalem who
are
in
Sepharad will
possess the cities of the Negev
.
And the removed
of this force
of the sons
of Israel,
That
`is
with'
the Canaanites unto
Zarephat,
And the removed
of
Jerusalem that
`is'
with
the
Sepharad ,
Possess the cities of the south
.
The
deliverers
will
ascend
Mount Zion to rule
over
the mountains
of Esau .
And the kingdom will
belong
to the
LORD.
And
gone
up
have
saviours
on
mount Zion ,
To judge
the mount
of Esau ,
And the kingdom hath
been
to Jehovah!'
