Sophonias 2
1 Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
Saberite se, saberite se, narode nemili,
2 before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
Dok nije izašao sud, i dan prošao kao pljeva, dok nije došao na vas ljuti gnjev Gospodnji, dok nije došao na vas dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
3 Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgement, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
Tražite Gospoda svi koji ste krotki u zemlji, koji èinite što je naredio; tražite pravdu, tražite krotost, eda biste se sakrili na dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
4 For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
Jer æe se Gaza ostaviti i Askalon æe opustjeti; Azot æe se odagnati u podne i Akaron æe se iskorijeniti.
5 Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbours of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
Teško onima koji žive po bregovima morskim, narodu Heretejskom: rijeè je Gospodnja na vas, Hanane, zemljo Filistejska, ja æu te zatrti da ne bude stanovnika u tebi.
6 And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
I bregovi æe morski biti stanovi i jame pastirske i torovi za stada.
7 And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
I taj æe kraj biti ostatku doma Judina; ondje æe pasti; u domovima æe Askalonskim lijegati uveèe; jer æe ih pohoditi Gospod Bog njihov i povratiti roblje njihovo.
8 I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
Èuo sam rug Moavov i ukore sinova Amonovijeh kojima ružiše moj narod, i raširiše se preko meða njihovijeh.
9 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
Zato, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, Moav æe biti kao Sodom i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomor, mjesto koprivama, i slanica i vjeèna pustoš: ostatak naroda mojega oplijeniæe ih, i koji ostanu od naroda mojega naslijediæe ih.
10 This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
To æe im biti za ponositost njihovu; jer ružiše narod Gospoda nad vojskama i podizaše se na nj.
11 The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
Strašan æe im biti Gospod, jer æe istrijebiti sve bogove zemaljske, i njemu æe se klanjati svaki iz svojega mjesta, sva ostrva narodna.
12 You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
I vi, Etiopljani, biæete pobijeni maèem mojim.
13 And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
I dignuæe ruku svoju na sjever, i zatræe Asirsku, i Nineviju æe opustiti da bude suha kao pustinja.
14 And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
I u njoj æe ležati stada, svakojako zvijerje izmeðu naroda, i gem i æuk noæivaæe na dovratnicima njezinijem; glasom æe pjevati na prozorima; pustoš æe biti na pragovima, jer æe se poskidati kedrovina.
Taki æe biti veseli grad, koji sjedi bez brige, koji govori u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema drugoga. Kako opustje! posta loža zvijerju! Ko god proðe mimo nj zviždaæe i mahati rukom.
