صَفَنْيَا 1
| كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى صَفَنْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي بْنِ جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَمَرِيَا بْنِ حَزَقِيَّا، فِي أَيَّامِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا: | ١ 1 |
The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.
| «نَزْعًا أَنْزَعُ ٱلْكُلَّ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٢ 2 |
I will take away everything from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
| أَنْزِعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ وَٱلْحَيَوَانَ. أَنْزِعُ طُيُورَ ٱلسَّمَاءِ وَسَمَكَ ٱلْبَحْرِ، وَٱلْمَعَاثِرَ مَعَ ٱلْأَشْرَارِ، وَأَقْطَعُ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ عَنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ٣ 3 |
I will take away man and beast; I will take away the birds of the heaven and the fishes of the sea; causing the downfall of the evil-doers, and cutting man off from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
| «وَأَمُدُّ يَدِي عَلَى يَهُوذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأَقْطَعُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلْمَكَانِ بَقِيَّةَ ٱلْبَعْلِ، ٱسْمَ ٱلْكَمَارِيمِ، مَعَ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ. | ٤ 4 |
And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests,
| وَٱلسَّاجِدِينَ عَلَى ٱلسُّطُوحِ لِجُنْدِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ، وَٱلسَّاجِدِينَ ٱلْحَالِفِينَ بِٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلْحَالِفِينَ بِمَلْكُومَ، | ٥ 5 |
And the worshippers of the army of heaven on the house-tops, and the Lord's worshippers who take oaths by Milcom,
| وَٱلْمُرْتَدِّينَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يَطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَلَا سَأَلُوا عَنْهُ. | ٦ 6 |
And those who are turned back from going after the Lord, and those who have not made prayer to the Lord or got directions from him.
| «اُسْكُتْ قُدَّامَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ. لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ أَعَدَّ ذَبِيحَةً. قَدَّسَ مَدْعُوِّيهِ. | ٧ 7 |
Let there be no sound before the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near: for the Lord has made ready an offering, he has made his guests holy.
| وَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِ ذَبِيحَةِ ٱلرَّبِّ أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءَ وَبَنِي ٱلْمَلِكِ وَجَمِيعَ ٱلّلَابِسِينَ لِبَاسًا غَرِيبًا. | ٨ 8 |
And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.
| وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُعَاقِبُ كُلَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَقْفِزُونَ مِنْ فَوْقِ ٱلْعَتَبَةِ، ٱلَّذِينَ يَمْلَأُونَ بَيْتَ سَيِّدِهِمْ ظُلْمًا وَغِشًّا. | ٩ 9 |
And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.
| وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، صَوْتُ صُرَاخٍ مِنْ بَابِ ٱلسَّمَكِ، وَوَلْوَلَةٌ مِنَ ٱلْقِسْمِ ٱلثَّانِي وَكَسْرٌ عَظِيمٌ مِنَ ٱلْآكَامِ. | ١٠ 10 |
And in that day, says the Lord, there will be the sound of a cry from the fish doorway, and an outcry from the new town, and a great thundering from the hills, and cries of grief from the people of the Hollow;
| وَلْوِلُوا يَا سُكَّانَ مَكْتِيشَ، لِأَنَّ كُلَّ شَعْبِ كَنْعَانَ بَادَ. ٱنْقَطَعَ كُلُّ ٱلْحَامِلِينَ ٱلْفِضَّةَ. | ١١ 11 |
Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off.
| وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ أَنِّي أُفَتِّشُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِٱلسُّرُجِ، وَأُعَاقِبُ ٱلرِّجَالَ ٱلْجَامِدِينَ عَلَى دُرْدِيِّهِمِ، ٱلْقَائِلِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: إِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يُحْسِنُ وَلَا يُسِيءُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.
| فَتَكُونُ ثَرْوَتُهُمْ غَنِيمَةً وَبُيُوتُهُمْ خَرَابًا، وَيَبْنُونَ بُيُوتًا وَلَا يَسْكُنُونَهَا، وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُومًا وَلَا يَشْرَبُونَ خَمْرَهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
And their wealth will be violently taken away, and their houses will be made waste: they will go on building houses and never living in them, and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them.
| «قَرِيبٌ يَوْمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ. قَرِيبٌ وَسَرِيعٌ جِدًّا. صَوْتُ يَوْمِ ٱلرّبِّ. يَصْرُخُ حِينَئِذٍ ٱلْجَبَّارُ مُرًّا. | ١٤ 14 |
The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and coming very quickly; the bitter day of the Lord is near, coming on more quickly than a man of war.
| ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ سَخَطٍ، يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَشِدَّةٍ، يَوْمُ خَرَابٍ وَدَمَارٍ، يَوْمُ ظَلَامٍ وَقَتَامٍ، يَوْمُ سَحَابٍ وَضَبَابٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and sorrow, a day of wasting and destruction, a day of dark night and deep shade, a day of cloud and thick dark.
| يَوْمُ بُوقٍ وَهُتَافٍ علَى ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلْمُحَصَّنَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلشُّرُفِ ٱلرَّفِيعَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
A day of sounding the horn and the war-cry against the walled towns and the high towers.
| وَأُضَايِقُ ٱلنَّاسَ فَيَمْشُونَ كَٱلْعُمْيِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، فَيُسْفَحُ دَمُهُمْ كَٱلتُّرَابِ وَلَحْمُهُمْ كَٱلْجِلَّةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
And I will send trouble on men so that they will go about like the blind, because they have done evil against the Lord: and their blood will be drained out like dust, and their strength like waste.
| لَا فِضَّتُهُمْ وَلَا ذَهَبُهُمْ يَسْتَطِيعُ إِنْقَاذَهُمْ في يَوْمِ غَضَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ بِنَارِ غَيْرَتِهِ تُؤْكَلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا، لِأَنَّهُ يَصْنَعُ فَنَاءً بَاغِتًا لِكُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ١٨ 18 |
Even their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the Lord's wrath; but all the land will be burned up in the fire of his bitter wrath: for he will put an end, even suddenly, to all who are living in the land.
