BrLXX μηδὲ 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,

1:10-14 Because of the violence you did . . . in Israel: The basis for Esau’s condemnation is stated in 1:10 (cp. Isa 34; Jer 49:7-22; Joel 3:19; Amos 1:11-12) and amplified in Obad 1:11-14, where Edom’s treachery is described. In legal terms, the evidence of these verses supports the charge of covenant breaking.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
בְּי֣וֹם אֵידָ֔ם & בְּי֣וֹם אֵיד֑וֹ & בְּי֥וֹם אֵידֽוֹ
in/on=day disaster,their & in/on=day disaster,their & in/on=day disaster,their
In this poetic style, the same phrase is used at the end of each line to emphasize how terrible the calamity was. If this style does not work in your language to communicate an increased emphasis, then you could combine the three occurrences into one and communicate that this was a very bad thing in another way, as in the UST.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
אֵידָ֔ם & אֵיד֑וֹ & אֵידֽוֹ
disaster,their & disaster,their & disaster,their
In the first line of this verse, their refers to my people. In the second and third lines, God’s people are once again pictured as their ancestor Jacob, and so the singular pronoun his is used (See: 1:10). If this change is confusing in your language, you could avoid the personification and refer to the people with plural pronouns in all three lines.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
גַם־אַתָּ֛ה
also/even you(ms)
Yahweh is accusing the people of Edom directly, and he adds this exclamation to emphasize this. This exclamation expresses anger, demands their attention, and also may be a warning that they cannot claim to be innocent. If it is confusing to have this in the middle of another sentence, you could make this a separate sentence ending in an exclamation mark, either before or after the current sentence. Alternate translation: “I am talking to you”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַל־תֵּ֧רֶא
not not gloat
In this context, looked on is an idiom for “enjoyed looking at.” See how you translated this in 1:12. Alternate translation: “you should not have gloated”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / you
וְאַל־תִּשְׁלַ֥חְנָה בְחֵיל֖וֹ
and,not loot in/on/at/with,wealth,their
Here, the word translated as you is feminine and plural. In the rest of Obadiah, it is masculine and singular. It may be that God is addressing the women specifically here in case they thought that they were not also guilty. So use a feminine plural form here, or mark this in some other way so that it means “you women.”
