ΡΑΣΙΣ Ὀβδειού.

Τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ Ἀκοὴν ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ περιοχὴν εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἐξαπέστειλεν Ἀνάστητε καὶ ἐξαναστῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον.

ἰδοὺ ὀλιγοστὸν δέδωκά σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἠτιμωμένος σὺ εἶ σφόδρα·

ὑπερηφανία τῆς καρδίας σου ἐπῆρέν σε κατασκηνοῦντα ἐν ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῶν πετρῶν· ὑψῶν κατοικίαν αὐτοῦ, λέγων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Τίς με κατάξει ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ;

ἐὰν μετεωρισθῇς ὡς ἀετός, καὶ ἐὰν ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ἄστρων θῇς νοσσιάν σου, ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω σε, λέγει Κύριος.

εἰ κλέπται εἰσῆλθον πρὸς σὲ ἢ λῃσταὶ νυκτός, ποῦ ἂν ἀπερρίφης; οὐκ ἂν ἔκλεψαν τὰ ἱκανὰ ἑαυτοῖς; καὶ εἰ τρυγηταὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς σέ, οὐκ ἂν ὑπελίποντο ἐπιφυλλίδας;

πῶς ἐξηρευνήθη Ἠσοὺ καὶ κατελήμφθη αὐτοῦ τὰ κεκριυμμένα.

ἕως τῶν ὁρίων ἐξαπέστειλάν σε· πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς διαθήκης σου ἀντέστησάν σοι, ἡδυνάσθησαν πρὸς σὲ ἄνδρες εἰρηνικοί σου, ἔθηκαν ἔνεδρα ὑποκάτω σου, οὐκ ἔστιν σύνεσις αὐτοῖς.

ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ, λέγει Κύριος, ἀπολῶ σοφοὺς ἐκ τῆς Ἰδουμαίας καὶ σύνεσιν ἐξ ὄρους Ἠσού·

καὶ πτοηθήσονται οἱ μαχηταί σου οἱ ἐκ Θαιμάν, ὅπαως ²⁴ ἐξαρθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὄρους Ἠσαύ·

διὰ τὴν σφαγὴν καὶ τὴν ἀσέβειαν ἀδελφοῦ σου Ἰακὼβ καλύψει σε αἰσχύνη, καὶ ἐξαρθήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.

Ἀφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀντέστης ἐξ ἐναντίας ἐν ἡμέραις αἰχμαλωτευόντων ἀλλογενῶν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀλλότριοι εἰσῆλθον εἰς πύλας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔβαλον κλήρους, καὶ σὺ ἧς ὡς εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν.

καὶ μὴ ἐπίδῃς ἡμέραν ἀδελφοῦ σου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀλλοτρίων, καὶ μὴ ἐπιχαρῆς ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰούδα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀπωλίας αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ μεγαλορημονῆς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως·

μηδὲ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς πύλας λαῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πόνων αὐτῶν, μηδέ ἐπίδῃς καὶ σὺ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτάων ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀλέθρου αὐτῶν, μηδἐ συνεπιθῇ ἐπὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀπωλίας αὐτῶν·

μηδὲ ἐπιστῆς ἐπὶ τὰς διεκβολὰς αὐτοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι τοὺς ἀνασωζομένους αὐτοῦ, μηδέ συγκλείσῃς τοὺς φεύγοντας αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως.

διότι ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησας, οὕτως ἔσται σοι τὸ ἀνταπόδομά σου ἀνταποδοθήσεται εἰς κεφαλήν σου·

διότι ὃν τρόπον ἔπιες ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου, πίονται καὶ καταβήσονται, καὶ ἔσονται καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντες.

Ἐν δὲ τῷ ὄρει Σειὼν ἔσται σωτηρία, καὶ ἔσται ἅγιονʼ καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν ὁ οἵκος Ἰακὼβ τοὺς κατακληρονομήσαντας αὐτούς.

καὶ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος Ἰακὼβ πῦρ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Ἰωσὴφ φλόξ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Ἠσαύ εἰς καλάμην, καὶ ἐκκαυθήσονται εἰς αὐτοὺς καὶ καταφάγονται αὐτούς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται πυροφόρος τῷ οἴκῳ Ἠσαύ, διότι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν.

καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν οἱ ⁵⁶ ἐν Νάγεβ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἠσαύ, καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Σεφηλὰ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους· ⁷ καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν τὸ ὄρος Ἐφράιμ καὶ τὸ πεδίον Σαμαρείας καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ τὴν Γαλααδεῖτιν.

καὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας ἡ ἀρχὴ αὕτη· τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, γῆ τῶν Χαναναίων ἕως Σαρέπτων, καὶ ἡ μετοικεσία Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἕως Ἐφράθα· κληρονομήσουσιν τὰς πόλεις τοῦ Νάγεβ.

καὶ ἀναβήσονται ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σειὼν τοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι τὸ ὄρος Ἠσαύ, καὶ ἔσται τῷ κυρίῳ ἡ βασιλεία.

Ὀβδιού (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Obadiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 1 focus

The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord Yahweh says about Edom. We have heard news from Yahweh, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise, and let’s rise up against her in battle.

Behold, I have made you small among the nations. You are greatly despised.

The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?

Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

If thieves came to you, if robbers by night — oh, what disaster awaits you — wouldn’t they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleaning grapes?

How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out!

All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.

Won’t I in that day, says Yahweh, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?

Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.

In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.

Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.

For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.

But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.

The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau. Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.

Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.

The captives of this host of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.

Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.
