صَفَنْيا 1
| هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها إِلَى صَفَنْيَا بْنِ كُوشِي بْنِ جَدَلْيَا بْنِ أَمَرِيَا بْنِ حَزَقِيَّا، فِي عَهْدِ حُكْمِ يُوشِيَّا بْنِ آمُونَ مَلِكِ يَهُوذَا. | ١ 1 |
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
| يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: «سَأَمْحُو مَحْواً كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ. | ٢ 2 |
“I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,”
| أُبِيدُ الإِنْسَانَ وَالْحَيَوَانَ وَطُيُورَ السَّمَاءِ وَسَمَكَ الْبَحْرِ، وَأَقْضِي عَلَى الأَشْرَارِ وَمَعَاثِرِهِمْ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ الْبَشَرَ عَنْ وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ، يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. | ٣ 3 |
“I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and the idols with their wicked worshipers. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,”
| أَمُدُّ يَدِي لأُعَاقِبَ يَهُوذَا وَكُلَّ أَهْلِ أُورُشَلِيمَ، وَأُفْنِي مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ بَقِيَّةَ عَبَدَةِ الْبَعْلِ، وَكُلَّ كَهَنَةِ الْوَثَنِ. | ٤ 4 |
“I will stretch out My hand against Judah and against all who dwell in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the idolatrous and pagan priests—
| وَالَّذِينَ يَصْعَدُونَ إِلَى السُّطُوحِ لِلسُّجُودِ لِكَوَاكِبِ السَّمَاءِ، وَالَّذِينَ يَجْثُونَ عَابِدِينَ الرَّبَّ حَالِفِينَ بِاسْمِهِ، وَبِاسْمِ مَلْكُومَ أَيْضاً. | ٥ 5 |
those who bow on the rooftops to worship the host of heaven, those who bow down and swear by the LORD but also swear by Milcom,
| وَالَّذِينَ ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ اتِّبَاعِ الرَّبِّ، وَالَّذِينَ كَفُّوا عَنْ طَلَبِهِ وَالْتِمَاسِهِ. | ٦ 6 |
and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”
| اصْمُتُوا فِي مَحْضَرِ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ بَاتَ وَشِيكاً. قَدْ أَعَدَّ الرَّبُّ ذَبِيحَةً وَقَدَّسَ مَدْعُوِّيهِ. | ٧ 7 |
Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD, for the Day of the LORD is near. Indeed, the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated His guests.
| فَيَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الرَّبِّ أَنِّي أُعَاقِبُ الرُّؤَسَاءَ وَأَبْنَاءَ الْمَلِكِ وَكُلَّ مَنْ يَرْتَدِي ثِيَاباً غَرِيبَةً وَثَنِيَّةً. | ٨ 8 |
“On the Day of the LORD’s sacrifice I will punish the princes, the sons of the king, and all who are dressed in foreign apparel.
| وَأُعَاقِبُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ كُلَّ الَّذِينَ يَقْفِزُونَ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَتَبَةِ الْهَيْكَلِ (عَلَى غِرَارِ كَهَنَةِ دَاجُونَ)، الَّذِينَ يَمْلأُونَ بَيْتَ سَيِّدِهِمْ جَوْراً وَنَهْباً. | ٩ 9 |
On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
| وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ: فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ تَتَرَدَّدُ صَرْخَةٌ مِنْ بَابِ السَّمَكِ وَوَلْوَلَةٌ مِنَ الْحَيِّ الثَّانِي، وَيُدَوِّي صَوْتُ تَحْطِيمٍ فِي التِّلالِ. | ١٠ 10 |
On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
| وَلْوِلُوا يَا سُكَّانَ دَائِرَةِ السُّوقِ، لأَنَّ تُجَّارَكُمْ يَبِيدُونَ، وَكُلَّ الْمُتَاجِرِينَ بِالْفِضَّةِ قَدِ اسْتُؤْصِلُوا. | ١١ 11 |
Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
| فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ أُفَتِّشُ أُورُشَلِيمَ بِمِصْبَاحٍ، وَأُعَاقِبُ النَّاسَ الْمُتَرَبِّعِينَ فَوْقَ قَاذُورَاتِهِمْ، الْقَائِلِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ لَا يَضُرُّ وَلا يَنْفَعُ. | ١٢ 12 |
And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
| فَتُصْبِحُ ثَرْوَتُهُمْ غَنِيمَةً، وَبُيُوتُهُمْ خَرَاباً. يُشَيِّدُونَ بُيُوتاً وَلا يَسْكُنُونَ فِيهَا، وَيَغْرِسُونَ كُرُوماً وَلا يَشْرَبُونَ مِنْ خَمْرِهَا. | ١٣ 13 |
Their wealth will be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
| إِنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ الْعَظِيمِ قَرِيبٌ، وَشِيكٌ وَسَرِيعٌ جِدّاً. دَوِيُّ يَوْمِ الرَّبِّ مُخِيفٌ، فِيهِ يَصْرُخُ الْجَبَّارُ مُرْتَعِباً. | ١٤ 14 |
The great Day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter.
| يَوْمُ غَضَبٍ هُوَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ، يَوْمُ ضِيقٍ وَعَذَابٍ، يَوْمُ خَرَابٍ وَدَمَارٍ، يَوْمُ ظُلْمَةٍ وَاكْتِئَابٍ، يَوْمُ غُيُومٍ وَقَتَامٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
| يَوْمُ دَوِيِّ بُوقٍ وَصَيْحَةِ قِتَالٍ ضِدَّ الْمُدُنِ الْحَصِينَةِ وَالْبُرُوجِ الشَّامِخَةِ. | ١٦ 16 |
a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
| فِيهِ أُضَايِقُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْشُونَ كَالْعُمْيِ، لأَنَّهُمْ أَخْطَأُوا بِحَقِّ الرَّبِّ، فَتَنْسَكِبُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ كَالتُّرَابِ، وَلَحْمُهُمْ يَتَنَاثَرُ كَالْجِلَّةِ. | ١٧ 17 |
I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
| لَا يُنْقِذُهُمْ ذَهَبُهُمْ وَلا فِضَّتُهُمْ فِي يَوْمِ غَضَبِ الرَّبِّ، إِذْ بِنَارِ غَيْرَتِهِ تُلْتَهَمُ كُلُّ الأَرْضِ، وَفِيهِ يَضَعُ نِهَايَةً مُبَاغِتَةً كَامِلَةً سَرِيعَةً لِكُلِّ سُكَّانِ الْمَعْمُورَةِ». | ١٨ 18 |
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
