1:1
Chazon 'Ovadya koh-amar Ad-nai HASHEM le-Edom shmu'ah shamanu me'et HASHEM vetzir bagoyim shulach kumu venakumah aleiha lamilchamah.
The vision of 'Ovadya; thus said Ad-nai HASHEM concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from HASHEM and a messenger has been sent among the nations [saying], 'Arise and let us rise up against her for battle.'
Behold, I have made you inferior among the nations; you are very despised.
The wickedness of your heart has misled you, [you] who dwells in the clefts of the rocks [in] his lofty abode, who says in his heart, 'Who can bring me down to earth?'
Even if you raise [your nest] like an eable or if you place your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there - the word of HASHEM.
If theives had come upon you, if plunders of the night - how utterly you are cut off! - would they not steal [only] until they had enough for themselves? If grape harvesters would come to you, would they not leave over gleanings?
How has 'Esav been searched, his hoards revealed?
All the men of your covenant escorted you until the border; the men at peace with you misled you [and] prevailed over you; [those who eat] your bread made a woundin your place. there is no understanding in him.
Behold, on that day - the world of HASHEM - I will eradicate wise men from Edom and understanding from the Mountain of 'Esav.
Your mighty ones to the south will be broken, so that every man will be cut off from the Mountain of 'Esav by the slaughter.
For the oppression of yoru brother Yaakov, disgrace will envelop you and you will be cut off forever.
On the day that you stood from afar, on the day that strangers captured his wealth, and foreigners came to his gates and cast a lottery on Yerushalayim, you too were like one of them.
Gaze not on the day of your brother, the day of his estrangement; and rejoice not over the Children of Yehudah on the day of their destruction; and do not expand your mouth on the day of misfortune.
Enter not the gate of My people on the day of their calamity; gaze not, you too, upon his evil on the day of his calamity, and do not extend [your hands] to his wealth on his day of his calamity.
Stand not by the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; and deliver not his survivors on the day of misfortune.
For the day of HASHEM upon all the nations is close; as you have done, [so] shall be done to you; your requital shall return upon your head.
For just as you drank on My holy mountain, so will all the nations drink ceaselessly; they will drink and be confounded, and become as if they never were.
On Mount Tziyon there will be refuge, and it will be holy; and the house of Yaakov will inherit those who had dispossessed them.
The house of Yaakov will be fire, the house of Yosef a flame, and the house of 'Esav for straw; and they will ignite them and devour them. There will be no survivor to the house of 'Esav, for HASHEM has spoken.
And [those of] the southland will inherit the Mountain of 'Esav; and [those of] the lowlands [will inherit] the Pelishtim, and they will inherit the fields of Efrayim and the fields of Shomeron [Samaria]; and Binyamin [will inherit] Gilad.
This exiled host of the Children of Yisrael who are among the Kenaanim until Tzarfat, and the exile of Yerushalayim which is in Sefarad will inherit the cities of the South.
and saviors will ascend Mount Tziyon to judge the Mountain of 'Esav, and the kingdom will be HASHEM'S.
