1 ه َذِهِ هِيَ رُؤيا عُوَبدْيا. هَذا هُوَ ما قالَهُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ عَنْ أدُومَ: سَمِعْتُ خَبَراً مِنَ اللهِ ، وَأرسَلَ رَسُولاً إلَى الأُمَمِ يَقُولُ: «تَجَمَّعُوا وَتَعالَوْا عَلَى أدُومَ، وَانهَضُوا لِلمَعرَكَةِ.» اللهُ يُخاطِبُ أدُوم

This is the special dream of Obadiah, what the Lord God says about Edom. We have heard this news from the Lord. And a man has been sent among the nations to say, “Get ready! Let us go fight a war against Edom.”

2 « ها إنِّي سَأجَعَلُكَ صَغِيراً بَينَ الأُمَمِ يا أدُومُ، وَسَتَكُونُ مُحتَقَراً بَينَ النّاسِ.

“I will make you small among the nations. Everyone will hate you.

3 خ ُدِعْتَ بِقُدرَتِكَ عَلَى إثارَةِ الرُّعبِ، وَبِكِبرِياءِ قَلبِكَ. أيُّها السّاكِنُ فِي شُقُوقِ الصَّخرِ، وَالمالِكُ التَّلَّةَ المُرتَفِعَةَ.

The pride of your heart has fooled you. You live in the holes of the rock. Your home is high in the mountains. And so you say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’

4 م َعَ أنَّكَ تَجعَلُ عُشَّكَ مُرتَفِعاً كَما يَعمَلُ النَّسرُ، لَكِنِّي سَأُنزِلُكَ مِنْ هُناكَ.» يَقُولُ اللهُ.

Even when you build your home as high as the eagle, and make your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

5 « إنْ أتَى اللُّصُوصُ فِي اللَّيلِ، كَيفَ يَكُونُ خَرابُكَ؟ ألا يَنْهَبُونَ ما يُرِيدُونَ فَقَط؟ إنْ جاءَ قاطِفو العِنَبِ إلَيكَ، ألا يَترُكُونَ بَعْضَ العَناقِيدِ؟

“If robbers came to you during the night, O how you will be destroyed! Would they not steal only enough for themselves? If those who gather grapes came to you, would they not leave some behind?

6 ف َكَيفَ سَيَتِمُّ تَجريدُ عِيسُو، وَكَشْفُ مَخابِئِهِ؟

O how Esau will be robbed! His hidden riches will be looked for until they are found.

7 « سَيُرسِلُكَ كُلُّ حُلَفائِكَ إلَى خارِجِ أرْضِكَ. سَيَحتالُ عَلَيكَ شُرَكاؤُكَ وَيَغلِبُونَكَ. الَّذينَ تَأكُلُ مَعَهُمْ لَحماً وَضَعُوا فَخّاً تَحتَ قَدَمَيكَ مِنْ دُونِ أنْ تَعرِفَ.»

All the men you have made an agreement with will drive you from the country. The men at peace with you will lie to you and get power over you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, but you will not know it.”

8 ي َقُولُ اللهُ: «ألَنْ أُفنِي فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ الحِكْمَةَ مِنْ أدُومَ وَالفَهمَ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو؟

The Lord says, “On that day I will destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding from Mount Esau.

9 ح َتَّى رِجالُكَ الأقوِياءُ يا تَيمانُ سَيَرتَعِبُونَ، كَي يُزالَ كُلُّ الرِّجالِ مِنْ جَبَلِ عِيسُو بِالقَتلِ.

Then your powerful soldiers will be troubled, O Teman, and every one from Mount Esau will be killed. Edom Hurt His Brother

10 ب ِسَبَبِ ظُلمِكَ لِأخِيكَ يَعْقُوبَ وَقَسوَتِكَ عَلَيهِ سَتُغَطَّى بِالعارِ، وَسَتُبادُ إلَى الأبَدِ.

“Because you have hurt your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and destroyed forever.

11 ف ِي اليَومِ الَّذي وَقَفْتَ فِيهِ بَعِيداً، فِي اليَومِ الَّذي سَلَبَ فِيهِ الغُرَباءُ ثَروَتَهُ، وَحَينَ أتَى الغُرَباءُ إلَى بَوّاباتِهِ وَألقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى القُدْسِ لأخْذِ حِصَصٍ مِمّا فِيها، أنتَ أيضاً كُنْتَ مَعَهُمْ.

You stood aside on that day when strangers carried his riches away. Men from another land went in through his gate and divided Jerusalem among themselves. And you were like one of them.

12 ك انَ لا يَنْبَغِي أنْ تَنظُرَ فَرِحاً إلَى وَقتِ مُصِيبَةِ أخِيكَ، وَأنْ لا تَفرَحَ بِدَمارِ بَنِي يَهُوذا، وَأنْ لا تَتَفاخَرَ فِي يَومِ ضِيقِهِمْ.

Do not look down on your brother in the day of his trouble. Do not be happy about the sons of Judah in the day they are destroyed. Yes, do not speak with pride in the day of their trouble.

13 ك انَ عَلَيكَ أنْ لا تَدْخُلَ بَوّابَةَ شَعبِي فِي يُومِ مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَألّا تَنْظُرَ بِشَماتَةٍ إلَيْهِ فِي يُومِ مُصِيبَتِهِ، وَألّا تَأْخُذَ ثَرْوَتَهُ فِي يُومِ مُصِيبَتِهِ.

Do not go in through the gate of My people in the day of their trouble. Do not speak with pride about their suffering in the day of their trouble. And do not rob their riches in the day of their trouble.

14 ب َلْ وَكانَ عَلَيكَ أنْ لا تَقِفَ عِندَ تَقاطُعاتِ الطُّرُقِ لِتَقطَعَ الطَّرِيقَ عَلَى الهارِبِينَ مِنهُمْ. كانَ عَلَيكَ أنْ لا تَسجِنَ الفارِّينَ فِي يَومِ الضِّيقِ.

Do not stand at the cross-roads to kill their people who get away. And do not put into prison those who are left alive in the day of their trouble.

15 ل أنَّ يَومَ اللهِ ضِدَّ كُلِّ الأُمَمِ قَرِيبٌ. وَكَما فَعَلْتَ يا أدُومُ، هَكَذا سَيُفعَلُ لَكَ، فَسَتَرجِعُ أُعمالُكَ الشِرِّيرَةُ عَلَى رَأسِكَ.

“For the day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. What you do will come back to you on your own head.

16 ل أنَّهُ كَما أنَّكَ سَكِرْتَ عَلَى جَبَلِي المُقَدَّسِ، هَكَذا سَتَشرَبُ كُلُّ الأُمَمِ عَلَيكَ باستِمرارٍ. وَسَيَشرَبُونَ وَيَبتَلِعُونَ، وَسَيُصبِحُونَ وَكَأنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا قَطُّ.

Just as you drank on My holy mountain, so all the nations will drink all the time. They will drink and drink, and be as if they had never been. Israel Will Win

17 و َأمّا عَلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ فَسَيَكُونُ هُناكَ مَنْ يَنجُو، وَسَيَكُونُ جَبَلاً مُقَدَّساً. وَسَيَمتَلِكُ سُكّانُ إسْرائِيلَ أملاكَهُمْ ثانِيةً.

“But on Mount Zion there will be a way to be set free, and it will be holy. The people of Jacob will own what belongs to them.

18 و َسَيَكُونُ بَيتُ يَعْقُوبَ ناراً، وَبَيتُ يُوسُفَ لَهِيباً، وَأمّا بَيتُ عِيسُو فَسَيَكُونُ تِبناً، فَيُحرِقَهُمْ بَنِو إسْرائِيلَ وَيَلتَهِمُونَهُمْ. وَلَنْ يَكُونَ هُناكَ ناجُونَ مِنْ بَيْتِ عِيسُو.» لأنَّ اللهَ أمَرَ ذَلِكَ.

The people of Jacob will be a fire. The people of Joseph will be burning. But the people of Esau will be like dry grass. They will set them on fire and destroy them. None of the people of Esau will be left alive,” for the Lord has spoken.

19 و َسَيَمتَلِكُ شَعبُ النَّقَبِ جَبَلَ عِيسُو، وَشَعبُ التِّلالِ الغَربِيَّةِ أرْضَ الفِلِسطِيِّينَ، وَسَيَملُكُ بَنُو يَهُوذا سُهُولَ أفْرايِمَ وَسُهُولَ السّامِرَةِ، وَسَيَمتَلِكُ بَنْيامِيْنُ جِلْعادَ.

People of the Negev will live on Mount Esau. And those in the lower land will live in the land of the Philistines. They will live in the land of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will own Gilead.

20 و َجَيْشُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ هَذا الَّذِي كانَ مَسْبِيّاً، سَيَمتَلِكُونَ أرْضَ الكَنْعانِيِّينَ حَتَّى مَدينَةِ صَرْفَةَ، وَالمَسبِيُّونَ مِنَ القُدْسِ السّاكِنُونَ فِي بِلادِ صَفارِدَ سَيَمتَلِكُونَ مُدُنَ النَّقَبِ.

The people of Israel who are living among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the people of Jerusalem who are in Sephared, will own the cities of the Negev.

21 و َسَيَصعَدُ مُنْقِذُونَ إلَى جَبَلِ صِهْيَوْنَ، لِيُدِينُوا جِبالَ عِيسُو. وَسَيَكُونُ المُلْكُ للهِ.

The men of Jerusalem who fight and win the battle will go up Mount Zion to rule over Mount Esau. And the nation will belong to the Lord.
