Obadiah; Book of Obadiah

Japanese: オバデヤ書 - オバデヤしょ(英語表記)Obadyah; Book of Obadiah
Obadiah; Book of Obadiah
The shortest prophetic book in the Old Testament, chapter 1, verse 21. The author and date of its writing are uncertain. However, the content is consistent in that it tells of God's judgment on the people of Edom. The people of Edom separated from Israel, and although the two were related by blood, they were constantly fighting each other. Verses 1-14 and 15b are God's announcements regarding Edom's fate and explain the reasons for its downfall. The prophet probably witnessed the collapse of Edom around 500-450 BCE. Verses 15a and 16-21 were written somewhat later and are in the form of apocalyptic literature. They tell us that God's day of judgment is approaching not only for the people of Edom but also for all the nations, and that the new Israel will conquer the entire surrounding territory on the day of Yahweh.

Japanese:
旧約聖書中最も短い預言書で1章 21節。著者,成立年代は未確定。しかし内容的には一貫してエドムの民に下された神の裁きを語っている。エドムの民はイスラエルから分離したもので,両者は血族関係にあったが互いに絶えず抗争を繰返していた。1~14節と 15節bはエドムの運命に関する神の告知についてであり,エドムの滅亡の理由が語られている。預言者はおよそ前 500~450年頃のエドムの崩壊を目撃したものと思われる。 15節aと 16~21節はいくぶん後期に書かれたもので黙示文学の形をとる。ここでは神の審判の日がエドムの民だけでなく,すべての異邦の民にも近づいている,また新しきイスラエルがヤハウェの日に四囲の全領域を征服するであろうと告げている。
