西番雅书 1
1 当犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚在位的时候，耶和华的话临到希西家的玄孙，亚玛利雅的曾孙，基大利的孙子，古示的儿子西番雅。
The word of the Lord that came to Sophonias the son of Chusi, the son of Godolias, the son of Amarias, the son of Ezechias, in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda.
2 耶和华说： 我必从地上除灭万类。
Gathering, I will gather together all things from off the face of the land, saith the Lord:
3 我必除灭人和牲畜， 与空中的鸟、海里的鱼， 以及绊脚石和恶人； 我必将人从地上剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
I will gather man, and beast, I will gather the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and the ungodly shall meet with ruin: and I will destroy men from off the face of the land, saith the Lord.
4 我必伸手攻击犹大 和耶路撒冷的一切居民， 也必从这地方剪除所剩下的巴力， 并基玛林的名和祭司，
And I will stretch out my hand upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and I will destroy out of this place the remnant of Baal, and the names of the wardens of the temples with the priests:
5 与那些在房顶上敬拜天上万象的， 并那些敬拜耶和华指着他起誓， 又指着玛勒堪起誓的，
And them that worship the host of heaven upon the tops of houses, and them that adore, and swear by the Lord, and swear by Melchom.
6 与那些转去不跟从耶和华的， 和不寻求耶和华也不访问他的。
And them that turn away from following after the Lord, and that have not sought the Lord, nor searched after him.
7 你要在主耶和华面前静默无声， 因为耶和华的日子快到。 耶和华已经预备祭物， 将他的客分别为圣。
Be silent before the face of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near, for the Lord hath prepared a victim, he hath sanctified his guests.
8 到了我—耶和华献祭的日子， 必惩罚首领和王子， 并一切穿外邦衣服的。
And it shall come to pass in the day of the victim of the Lord, that I will visit upon the princes, and upon the king’s sons, and upon all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 到那日，我必惩罚一切跳过门槛、 将强暴和诡诈得来之物充满主人房屋的。
And I will visit in that day upon every one that entereth arrogantly over the threshold: them that fill the house of the Lord their God with iniquity and deceit.
10 耶和华说：当那日， 从鱼门必发出悲哀的声音， 从二城发出哀号的声音， 从山间发出大破裂的响声。
And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great destruction from the hills.
11 玛革提施的居民哪，你们要哀号， 因为迦南的商民都灭亡了！ 凡搬运银子的都被剪除。
Howl, ye inhabitants of the Morter. All the people of Chanaan is hush, all are cut off that were wrapped up in silver.
12 那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷； 我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的； 他们心里说： 耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and will visit upon the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their hearts: The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.
13 他们的财宝必成为掠物； 他们的房屋必变为荒场。 他们必建造房屋，却不得住在其内； 栽种葡萄园，却不得喝所出的酒。
And their strength shall become a booty, and their houses as a desert: and they shall build houses, and shall not dwell in them: and they shall plant vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
14 耶和华的大日临近， 临近而且甚快， 乃是耶和华日子的风声； 勇士必痛痛地哭号。
The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and exceeding swift: the voice of the day of the Lord is bitter, the mighty man shall there meet with tribulation.
15 那日是忿怒的日子， 是急难困苦的日子， 是荒废凄凉的日子， 是黑暗幽冥、密云乌黑的日子，
That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and distress, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and whirlwinds,
16 是吹角呐喊的日子， 要攻击坚固城和高大的城楼。
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high bulwarks.
17 我必使灾祸临到人身上， 使他们行走如同瞎眼的， 因为得罪了我。 他们的血必倒出如灰尘； 他们的肉必抛弃如粪土。
And I will distress men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as earth, and their bodies as dung.
18 当耶和华发怒的日子， 他们的金银不能救他们； 他的忿怒如火必烧灭全地， 毁灭这地的一切居民，而且大大毁灭。
Neither shall their silver and their gold be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: all the land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for he shall make even a speedy destruction of all them that dwell in the land.
