MSG ^(5-14)“If thieves crept up on you,
  they’d rob you blind—isn’t that so?
If they mugged you on the streets at night,
  they’d pick you clean—isn’t that so?
Oh, they’ll take Esau apart, piece by piece,
  empty his purse and pockets.
All your old partners will drive you to the edge.
  Your old friends will lie to your face.
Your old drinking buddies will stab you in the back.
  Your world will collapse. You won’t know what hit you.
So don’t be surprised”—it’s God’s sure Word!—
  “when I wipe out all sages from Edom
  and rid the Esau mountains of its famous wise men.
Your great heroes will desert you, Teman.
  There’ll be nobody left in Esau’s mountains.
Because of the murderous history compiled
  against your brother Jacob,
You will be looked down on by everyone.
  You’ll lose your place in history.
On that day you stood there and didn’t do anything.
  Strangers took your brother’s army into exile.
Godless foreigners invaded and pillaged Jerusalem.
  You stood there and watched.
  You were as bad as they were.
You shouldn’t have gloated over your brother
  when he was down-and-out.
You shouldn’t have laughed and joked at Judah’s sons
  when they were facedown in the mud.
You shouldn’t have talked so big
  when everything was so bad.
You shouldn’t have taken advantage of my people
  when their lives had fallen apart.
You of all people should not have been amused
  by their troubles, their wrecked nation.
You shouldn’t have taken the shirt off their back
  when they were knocked flat, defenseless.
And you shouldn’t have stood waiting at the outskirts
  and cut off refugees,
And traitorously turned in helpless survivors
  who had lost everything.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עֲמָֽדְ⁠ךָ֣ מִ⁠נֶּ֔גֶד

stood,you in,aloofness

This is a metaphor that pictures the people of Edom as a person who was just standing around and not helping a relative. Alternate translation: “you did not help him.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

שְׁב֥וֹת זָרִ֖ים חֵיל֑⁠וֹ וְ⁠נָכְרִ֞ים בָּ֣אוּ שְׁעָרָ֗יו

carried_off strangers wealth,his and,foreigners they_went (Some words not found in UHB: in/on=day stood,you in,aloofness in/on=day carried_off strangers wealth,his and,foreigners they_went gates,his and,for Yerushalayim throw lots also/yet you(ms) like=one of,them )

These two phrases mean similar things. They are used together to emphasize that Judah was in a desperate situation. Invading armies were plundering the cities of Judah.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

חֵיל֑⁠וֹ & שְׁעָרָ֗יו

wealth,his & (Some words not found in UHB: in/on=day stood,you in,aloofness in/on=day carried_off strangers wealth,his and,foreigners they_went gates,his and,for Yerushalayim throw lots also/yet you(ms) like=one of,them )

Here, his refers to your brother Jacob in 1:10, meaning the people of Judah.

חֵיל֑⁠וֹ

wealth,his

In this context, the term translated wealth could also mean “army.” But since it clearly means “wealth” in 1:13, it seems best to translate it as “wealth” here, as well.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

שְׁעָרָ֗יו

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on=day stood,you in,aloofness in/on=day carried_off strangers wealth,his and,foreigners they_went gates,his and,for Yerushalayim throw lots also/yet you(ms) like=one of,them )

Here, gates stands for “city.” The gates, the part of a city through which people would come and go, are being used to represent the whole city. Alternate translation: “all the cities of Judah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠עַל־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙ יַדּ֣וּ גוֹרָ֔ל

and,for Yerushalayim throw lots

There are two possibilities for what this could mean: (1) This is a figurative way of saying that the foreigners had complete control of Jerusalem, with Jerusalem pictured as something that everybody wants to have, but it cannot be divided, so they cast lots to see who will get it. Alternate translation: “they even plundered Jerusalem” or (2) The name of the city may be standing for the wealth of the city. Alternate translation: “and they divided the wealth of Jerusalem among themselves”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גַּם־אַתָּ֖ה כְּ⁠אַחַ֥ד מֵ⁠הֶֽם

also/yet you(ms) like=one of,them

The people of Edom did not do exactly the same things as the strangers and foreigners did, but they were like them because they did not help the people of Judah, who were a related people group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include this information, as in the UST.
