Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to the provocatrix and the redeemed city, the dove.
Vai tai stūrgalvīgai un apgānītai un varmācīgai pilsētai!
2 She has not heeded the voice, nor has she accepted discipline. She has not trusted in the Lord; she did not draw near to her God.
Tā neklausa, ko saka, tā nepieņem mācību un nepaļaujas uz To Kungu, nenāk pie sava Dieva.
3 Her leaders are in her midst like roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the morning.
Viņas lielkungi viņas vidū ir lauvas, kas rūc, viņas soģi ir kā vilki vakarā, kas nekā neatlicina līdz rītam.
4 Her prophets are crazed; men without faith. Her priests have polluted what is holy; they have acted unjustly against the law.
Viņas pravieši ir lielmutes, viltnieki, viņas priesteri sagāna svētumu un lauž bauslību.
5 The just Lord is in their midst; he will not do iniquity. In the morning, in the morning, he will bring his judgment into the light, and it will not be hidden. But the impious one has not known shame.
Tas Kungs ir taisns viņu vidū, Viņš nedara netaisnību, ik rītu Viņš nes gaismā Savu tiesu bez kavēšanās, tomēr nelieši neprot kauna.
6 I have dispersed the nations, and their towers have been torn down. I have made their ways deserts, until there were none who passed through. Their cities have become desolate, with no man remaining, nor any inhabitant.
Tautas Es esmu izdeldējis, viņu pilis ir postītas, viņu ielas Es esmu darījis tukšas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, viņu pilsētas ir postītas, palikušas bez cilvēka un bez iedzīvotāja.
7 I said: Nevertheless, you will fear me; you will accept discipline. And her dwelling place will not perish, despite all the things about which I have visited her. Yet truly, they arose with the dawn and corrupted all their thoughts.
Es sacīju: kaut tu Mani bītos un pieņemtu mācību, tad viņu mājas vieta netaptu izdeldēta pēc visa, ko Es par tiem esmu nospriedis. Bet tie ir ļaunu darījuši, ko vien darīdami
8 Because of this, expect me, says the Lord, in the day of my resurrection in the future, for my judgment is to gather together the Gentiles, and to collect the kingdoms, and to pour out over them my indignation, all the fury of my anger. For by the fire of my zeal, all the earth will be devoured.
Tādēļ jums būs Mani gaidīt, saka Tas Kungs, tai dienā, kad Es celšos uz laupījumu, jo Mana tiesa ir sapulcināt tautas, sakrāt valstis un pār tām izgāzt Savu bardzību un visu Savu dusmības karstumu, jo visa pasaule taps aprīta Mana karstuma ugunī.
9 For then I will restore to the people a chosen lip, so that all may invoke the name of the Lord and may serve him with one shoulder.
Tad Es tiem ļaudīm došu šķīstas lūpas, ka visiem būs piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu un Viņam kalpot vienprātībā.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my supplicants, the sons of my diaspora, will carry a gift to me.
No viņpus Moru upēm Mani pielūdzēji Man nesīs upurus, Manu izkaisīto ļaužu draudze.
11 In that day, you will not be ashamed over all of your inventions, by which you have transgressed against me. For then I will take away from your midst your arrogant boasters, and you will no longer be exalted on my holy mountain.
Tai dienā tu netapsi kaunā visu savu darbu dēļ, ar ko tu pret Mani noziegusies. Jo tad Es no tava vidus atņemšu tavus lepnos lielītājus, un tu vairs nebūsi lepna Manā svētā kalnā.
12 And I will bequeath into your midst a poor and needy people, and they will hope in the name of the Lord.
Un tavā vidū Es atlicināšu bēdu ļaudis un pazemīgos, tie paļausies uz Tā Kunga vārdu.
13 The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, and a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouth. For they will pasture and will recline, and there will be no one to strike them with terror.
Israēla atlikušie nedarīs netaisnību un nerunās melus, un viņu mutē neatradīs viltus mēli, bet tie ganīsies un apgulsies, un neviens tos netraucēs.
14 Give praise, daughter of Zion. Shout joyfully, Israel. Rejoice and exult with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
Dzied priecīgi, Ciānas meita! Gavilē, Israēl! Priecājies un līksmojies no visas sirds, Jeruzālemes meita!
15 The Lord has taken away your judgment; he has turned aside your foes. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall no longer fear evil.
Tas Kungs ir atņēmis tavu sodību, Viņš tavu ienaidnieku ir aizmēzis projām. Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš, ir tavā vidū, ļaunuma tu vairs neredzēsi.
16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Do not be afraid,” and to Zion, “Do not let your hands be weakened.”
Tai dienā sacīs uz Jeruzālemi: nebīsties, Ciāna! Lai tavas rokas nenogurst.
17 The Lord your God is the strength in your midst; he will save. He will rejoice over you with gladness. In his love, he will be silent. He will exult over you with praise.
Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir tavā vidū, stiprs Pestītājs, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar līksmību, Viņš cietīs klusu savā mīlestībā, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar gavilēšanu.
18 The triflers who withdrew from the law, I will gather together, because they were from you, so that you may no longer suffer disgrace over them.
Es sapulcināšu tos, kas bija noskumuši svētku sapulces dēļ; tie tev pieder; negods tiem uzkrauts.
19 Behold, I will execute all who have afflicted you in that time, and I will save those who are lame, and I will gather together her who had been cast out. And I will place them in praise and in renown, in all the land where they had been put to shame,
Redzi, tanī laikā Es tā darīšu visiem taviem spaidītājiem, un Es pasargāšu klibo un sapulcināšu izdzīto, un tos iecelšu par teikšanu un par slavu ikvienā zemē, kur tie bija kaunā.
20 in that time, when I will lead to you, and in the time when I will gather for you. For I will deliver you into renown and into praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I will have converted your captivity before your very eyes, says the Lord.
Tanī laikā Es jūs atvedīšu, un to brīdi Es jūs sapulcināšu. Jo Es jūs iecelšu par slavu un par teikšanu pie visām pasaules tautām, kad Es jūsu cietumu novērsīšu priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
