西番雅书 3
1 这悖逆、污秽、欺压的城有祸了！
Woe [to] the rebelling and defiling, The oppressing city!
2 她不听从命令，不领受训诲， 不倚靠耶和华， 不亲近她的 神。
She has not listened to the voice, She has not accepted instruction, In YHWH she has not trusted, She has not drawn near to her God.
3 她中间的首领是咆哮的狮子； 她的审判官是晚上的豺狼， 一点食物也不留到早晨。
Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] wolves [as in] evening, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
4 她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人； 她的祭司亵渎圣所， 强解律法。
Her prophets unstable—men of treachery, Her priests have defiled the sanctuary, They have violated the Law.
5 耶和华在她中间是公义的， 断不做非义的事， 每早晨显明他的公义，无日不然； 只是不义的人不知羞耻。
YHWH [is] righteous in her midst, He does not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment He gives to the light, It has not been lacking, And the perverse do not know shame.
6 我—耶和华已经除灭列国的民； 他们的城楼毁坏。 我使他们的街道荒凉，以致无人经过； 他们的城邑毁灭，以致无人， 也无居民。
“I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
7 我说：你只要敬畏我，领受训诲； 如此，你的住处不致照我所拟定的除灭。 只是你们从早起来就在一切事上败坏自己。
I have said: Only, you fear Me, You accept instruction, And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all their doings.
8 耶和华说：你们要等候我， 直到我兴起掳掠的日子； 因为我已定意招聚列国，聚集列邦， 将我的恼怒—就是我的烈怒都倾在她们身上。 我的忿怒如火，必烧灭全地。
Therefore, wait for Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “For the day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All the heat of My anger, For by the fire of My jealousy all the earth is consumed.
9 那时，我必使万民用清洁的言语 好求告我—耶和华的名， 同心合意地事奉我。
For then I turn a pure lip to peoples, To call all of them by the Name of YHWH, To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
10 祈祷我的，就是我所分散的民， 必从古实河外来，给我献供物。
From beyond the rivers of Cush, My supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Bring My present.
11 当那日，你必不因你一切得罪我的事自觉羞愧； 因为那时我必从你中间除掉矜夸高傲之辈， 你也不再于我的圣山狂傲。
In that day you are not ashamed because of any of your actions, With which you have transgressed against Me, For then I turn aside from your midst The exulting ones of your excellence, And you are to be haughty no longer, In My holy mountain.
12 我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民； 他们必投靠我—耶和华的名。
And I have left in your midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the Name of YHWH.
13 以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽， 不说谎言，口中也没有诡诈的舌头； 而且吃喝躺卧，无人惊吓。
The remnant of Israel does no perversity, nor speaks lies, Nor is a deceitful tongue found in their mouth, For they have delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling.”
14 锡安的民哪，应当歌唱！ 以色列啊，应当欢呼！ 耶路撒冷的民哪，应当满心欢喜快乐！
Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 耶和华已经除去你的刑罚， 赶出你的仇敌。 以色列的王—耶和华在你中间； 你必不再惧怕灾祸。
YHWH has turned aside your judgments, He has faced your enemy, The King of Israel, YHWH, [is] in your midst, You see evil no more.
16 当那日，必有话向耶路撒冷说： 不要惧怕！锡安哪； 不要手软！
In that day it is said to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, O Zion, Do not let your hands be feeble.
17 耶和华—你的 神是施行拯救、 大有能力的主。 他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐， 默然爱你，且因你喜乐而欢呼。
Your God YHWH [is] in your midst, A mighty one [to] save, He rejoices over you with joy, He works in His love, He delights over you with singing.”
18 那些属你、为无大会愁烦、 因你担当羞辱的，我必聚集他们。
“I have gathered My afflicted from the appointed place, They have been bearing reproach from you for her sake.
19 那时，我必罚办一切苦待你的人， 又拯救你瘸腿的，聚集你被赶出的。 那些在全地受羞辱的， 我必使他们得称赞，有名声。
Behold, I am dealing with all afflicting you at that time, And I have saved the halting one, And I gather the ones driven out, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all the land of their shame.
20 那时，我必领你们进来，聚集你们； 我使你们被掳之人归回的时候， 就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声，得称赞。 这是耶和华说的。
At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your captivity before your eyes,” said YHWH!
