ThomsonTHE vision of Obadiah:
Thus saith the Lord God to Idumea, (I heard the report from the Lord, when He sent a message to the nations,—Arise and let us go up against her to battle):
Thus saith the Lord God to Idumea, (I heard the report from the Lord, when He sent a message to the nations,—Arise and let us go up against her to battle):
BrentonThe vision of Obdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Idumea; I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent forth a message to the nations.
GreekὍΡΑΣΙΣ Ὀβδίου. Τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῇ Ἰδουμαίᾳ, ἀκοὴν ἤκουσα παρὰ Κυρίου, καὶ περιοχὴν εἰς τὰ ἔθνη ἐξαπέστειλεν· ἀνάστητε, καὶ ἐξαναστῶμεν ἐπʼ αὐτὴν εἰς πόλεμον.
2
ThomsonBehold, I have made thee very small among the nations: thou art dishonoured in a high degree.
BrentonArise ye, and let us rise up against her to war.
GreekἸδοὺ ὀλιγοστὸν δέδωκά σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἠτιμωμένος εἶ σὺ σφόδρα.
3
ThomsonThe pride of thy heart puffed thee up, dwelling in the clefts of rocks. (Having made his habitation high, he said in his heart, Who can bring me down to the ground?)
BrentonBehold, I have made thee small among the Gentiles: thou art greatly dishonoured. The pride of thine heart has elated thee, dwelling as thou dost in the holes of the rocks, as one that exalts his habitation, saying in his heart, Who will bring me down to the ground?
GreekὙπερηφανία τῆς καρδίας σου ἐπῇρέ σε κατασκηνοῦντα ἐν ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῶν πετρῶν· ὑψῶν κατοικίαν αὐτοῦ, λέγων ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, τίς κατάξει με ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν;
4
ThomsonThough thou shouldst soar aloft like an eagle, and make thy nest among the stars; thence I will pull thee down, saith the Lord.
BrentonIf thou shouldest mount up as the eagle, and if thou shouldest make thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
GreekἘὰν μετεωρισθῇς, ὡς ἀετὸς, καὶ ἐὰν ἀναμέσον τῶν ἄστρων θῇς νοσσιάν σου, ἐκεῖθεν κατάξω σε, λέγει Κύριος.
5
ThomsonIf thieves come to thee, or robbers by night, in what place soever thou mayst be cast, would they not steal what suited themselves? And if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they leave no gleaning?
BrentonIf thieves came in to thee, or robbers by night, where wouldest thou have been cast away? would they not have stolen just enough for themselves? and if grape-gatherers went in to thee, would they not leave a gleaning?
GreekΕἰ κλέπται εἰσῆλθον πρὸς σὲ, ἢ λῃσταὶ νυκτὸς, ποῦ ἂν ἀπεῤῥίφης; οὐκ ἂν ἔκλεψαν τὰ ἱκανὰ ἑαυτοῖς; καὶ εἰ τρυγηταὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς σὲ, οὐκ ἂν ἐπελείποντο ἐπιφυλλίδα;
6
ThomsonHow Esau hath been searched! are even his hidden stores left? They have driven thee to the borders.
BrentonHow has Esau been searched out, and how have his hidden things been detected?
GreekΠῶς ἐξηρευνήθη Ἡσαῦ, καὶ κατελήφθη τὰ κεκρυμμένα αὐτοῦ;
7
ThomsonAll the men in league with thee, have risen up against thee. Thy men of peace prevailed against thee. They laid snares under thee. They have no understanding.
BrentonThey sent thee to thy coasts: all the men of thy covenant have withstood thee; thine allies have prevailed against thee, they have set snares under thee: they have no understanding.
GreekἝως τῶν ὁρίων ἐξαπέστειλάν σε· πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς διαθήκης σου ἀντέστησάν σοι, ἠδυνάσθησαν πρὸς σὲ ἄνδρες εἰρηνικοί σου, ἔθηκαν ἔνεδρα ὑποκάτω σου, οὐκ ἔστι σύνεσις αὐτοῖς.
8
ThomsonIn that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
BrentonIn that day, saith the Lord, I will destroy the wise men out of Idumea, and understanding out of the mount of Esau.
GreekἘν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος, ἀπολῶ σοφους ἐκ τῆς Ἰδουμαίας, καὶ σύνεσιν ἐξ ὄρους Ἡσαῦ.
9
ThomsonAnd thy warriors from Thaiman shall be dismayed, that man may be removed from the mountain of Esau.
BrentonAnd thy warriors from Thæman shall be dismayed, to the end that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
GreekΚαὶ πτοηθήσονται οἱ μαχηταί σου οἱ ἐκ Θαιμὰν, ὅπως ἐξαρθῇ ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ὄρους Ἡσαῦ.
10
ThomsonOn account of the impious slaughter of thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off forever.
BrentonBecause of the slaughter and the sin committed against thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
GreekΔιὰ τὴν σφαγὴν, καὶ τὴν ἀσέβειαν ἀδελφοῦ σου Ἰακὼβ, καλύψει σε αἰσχύνη, καὶ ἐξαρθήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
11
ThomsonFrom the day that thou didst become an adversary, whenever the Philistines captivated his army, or strangers entered his gates and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them.
BrentonFrom the day that thou stoodest in opposition to him, in the days when foreigners were taking captive his forces, and strangers entered into his gates, and cast lots on Jerusalem, thou also wast as one of them.
GreekἈφʼ ἧς ἡμέρας ἀντέστης ἐξεναντίας, ἐν ἡμέραις αἰχμαλωτευόντων ἀλλογενῶν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀλλότριοι εἰσῆλθον εἰς πύλας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔβαλον κλήρους, καὶ σὺ ἦς ὡς εἷς ἐξ αὐτῶν.
12
ThomsonBut thou shouldst not have looked on thy brother’s day in the day of strangers, nor rejoiced over the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; nor shouldst thou have vaunted in the day of affliction;
BrentonAnd thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of strangers; nor shouldest thou have rejoiced against the children of Juda in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have boasted in the day of their affliction.
GreekΚαὶ μὴ ἐπίδῃς ἡμέραν ἀδελφοῦ σου ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀλλοτρίων, καὶ μὴ ἐπιχαρῇς ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰούδα ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀπωλείας αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ μεγαλοῤῥημονῇ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως,
13
Thomsonnor entered people’s gates in the day of their distresses.
Thou especially shouldst not have beheld their congregation in the day of their destruction, nor joined to fall on their army in the day of their defeat;
Thou especially shouldst not have beheld their congregation in the day of their destruction, nor joined to fall on their army in the day of their defeat;
BrentonNeither shouldest thou have gone into the gates of the people in the day of their troubles; nor yet shouldest thou have looked upon their gathering in the day of their destruction, nor shouldest thou have attacked their host in the day of their perishing.
Greekμηδὲ εἰσέλθῃς εἰς πύλας λαῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πόνων αὐτῶν, μηδὲ ἐπίδῃς καὶ σὺ τὴν συναγωγὴν αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀλέθρου αὐτῶν, καὶ μὴ συνεπιθῇ ἐπὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἀπωλείας αὐτῶν,
14
Thomsonnor beset the passes to cut off such of them as were escaping; nor shouldst thou have hemmed in his fugitives, in a calamitous day.
BrentonNeither shouldest thou have stood at the opening of their passages, to destroy utterly those of them that were escaping; neither shouldest thou have shut up his fugitives in the day of affliction.
Greekμηδὲ ἐπιστῇς ἐπὶ τὰς διεκβολὰς αὐτῶν, ἐξολοθρεῦσαι τοὺς ἀνασωζομένους αὐτῶν, μηδὲ συγκλείσῃς τοὺς φεύγοντας αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως.
15
ThomsonBecause the day of the Lord against all the nations is near, as thou hast done so shall it be done to thee: thy dealings shall be returned on thy head.
BrentonFor the day of the Lord is near upon all the Gentiles: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: thy recompense shall be returned on thine own head.
GreekΔιότι ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησας, οὕτως ἔσται σοι· τὸ ἀνταπόδομά σου ἀνταποδοθήσεται εἰς κεφαλήν σου.
16
ThomsonFor in the same manner as thou hast drunk on My holy mountain, all the nations shall be drunk up as wine. They shall be drunk up and swallowed down, and be as if they had never been.
BrentonFor as thou hast drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink wine; they shall drink, and go down, and be as if they were not.
GreekΔιότι ὃν τρόπον ἔπιες ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ ἅγιόν μου, πίονται πάντα τὰ ἔθνη οἶνον, πίονται καὶ καταβήσονται, καὶ ἔσονται καθὼς οὐχ ὑπάρχοντες.
17
ThomsonBut on mount Sion shall be safety and a sanctuary;
BrentonBut on mount Sion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be a sanctuary; and the house of Jacob shall take for an inheritance those that took them for an inheritance.
GreekἙν δὲ τῷ ὄρει Σιὼν ἔσται σωτηρία, καὶ ἔσται ἅγιον· καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν ὁ οἶκος Ἰακὼβ τοῦς, κατακληρονομήσαντας αὐτούς.
18
Thomsonand the house of Jacob shall possess those who possessed them; and the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph, a flame; and the house of Esau shall be as stubble; and upon these they shall kindle and consume them, so that there shall not be a torch-bearer to the house of Esau. For the Lord hath spoken.
BrentonAnd the house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau shall be for stubble; and Israel shall flame forth against them, and shall devour them, and there shall not be a corn-field left to the house of Esau; because the Lord has spoken.
GreekΚαὶ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος Ἰακὼβ πῦρ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Ἰωσὴφ φλὸξ, ὁ δὲ οἶκος Ἡσαῦ εἰς καλάμην, καὶ ἐκκαυθήσονται εἰς αὐτοὺς, καὶ καταφάγονται αὐτοὺς, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται πυροφόρος τῷ οἴκῳ Ἡσαῦ, διότι Κύριος ἐλάλησε.
19
ThomsonAnd they in the south shall inherit the mountain of Esau; and those in Sephale shall inherit the Philistines; and they shall possess mount Ephraim and the plain of Samaria and Benjamin and Galaaditis.
BrentonAnd they that dwell in the south shall inherit the mount of Esau, and they in the plain the Philistines: and they shall inherit the mount of Ephraim, and the plain of Samaria, and Benjamin, and the land of Galaad.
GreekΚαὶ κατακληρονομήσουσιν οἱ ἐν ναγὲβ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Ἡσαῦ, καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ σεφηλὰ τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους· καὶ κατακληρονομήσουσι τὸ ὄρος Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ τὸ πεδίον Σαμαρείας, καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ τὴν Γαλααδίτιν.
20
ThomsonAnd this shall be the dominion of the captivity—to the Israelites shall belong the land of the Chananites to Sarepta; and to the captives of Jerusalem, to Ephratha: they shall possess the cities of south [Juda].
BrentonAnd this shall be the domain of the captivity of the children of Israel, the land of the Chananites as far as Sarepta; and the captives of Jerusalem shall inherit as far as Ephratha; they shall inherit the cities of the south.
GreekΚαὶ τῆς μετοικεσίας ἡ ἀρχὴ αὕτη τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, γῆ τῶν Χαναναίων ἕως Σαρεπτῶν· καὶ ἡ μετοικεσία Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἕως Ἐφραθά· κληρονομήσουσι τὰς πόλεις τοῦ ναγέβ.
21
ThomsonAnd they who have been preserved shall go up from mount Sion to execute vengeance on the mountain of Esau. And the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.
BrentonAnd they that escape shall come up from mount Sion, to take vengeance on the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.
GreekΚαὶ ἀναβήσονται ἀνασωζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σιὼν, τοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι τὸ ὄρος Ἡσαῦ, καὶ ἔσται τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡ βασιλεία.
