Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to the provocatrix and the redeemed city, the dove.
Teško gradu odmetnièkom i oskvrnjenom, nasilnièkom!
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.
Ne sluša glasa, ne prima nauka, ne uzda se u Gospoda, ne pristupa k Bogu svojemu.
3 Her leaders are in her midst like roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the morning.
Knezovi su mu u njemu lavovi koji rièu; sudije su mu vuci veèernji, koji ne gloðu kosti do jutra.
4 Her prophets are crazed; men without faith. Her priests have polluted what is holy; they have acted unjustly against the law.
Proroci su mu hvališe, varalice; sveštenici njegovi skvrne svetinju, izvræu zakon.
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.
Gospod je pravedan usred njega, ne èini nepravde, svako jutro iznosi sud svoj na vidjelo, ne izostaje, ali bezbožnik ne zna za stid.
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.
Istrijebih narode, kule im se razoriše, ulice im opustih, te niko ne prolazi; gradovi im se raskopaše, da nema nikoga, nema stanovnika.
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.
Rekoh: pobojaæeš me se, primiæeš nauk; neæe mu se zatrti stan nièim su èim bih ga pohodio; ali oni uraniše te pokvariše sva djela svoja.
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.
Zato èekajte me, govori Gospod, do dana kad æu se podignuti na plijen; jer je sud moj da saberem narode i pokupim carstva, da izlijem na njih gnjev svoj, svu žestinu jarosti svoje, jer æe oganj revnosti moje proždrijeti svu zemlju.
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.
Jer æu tada promijeniti narodima usne, te æe biti èiste, da bi svi prizivali ime Gospodnje i služili mu složnijem ramenima.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my supplicants, the sons of my diaspora, will carry a gift to me.
Ispreko rijeka Huskih koji se meni mole, rasijani moji, donijeæe mi dare.
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.
Tada se neæeš više stidjeti nijednoga svojih djela, kojima si mi zgriješio; jer æu onda uzeti iz tebe one koji se hvale slavom tvojom, i neæeš se više velièati na svetoj gori mojoj.
12 And I will bequeath into your midst a poor and needy people, and they will hope in the name of the Lord.
I ostaviæu u tebi narod nevoljan i siromašan, i oni æe se uzdati u ime Gospodnje.
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.
Ostatak Izrailjev neæe èiniti bezakonja niti æe govoriti laži, niti æe se naæi u ustima njihovijem jezik prijevaran; nego æe pasti i ležati i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
14 Give praise, daughter of Zion. Shout joyfully, Israel. Rejoice and exult with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
Pjevaj, kæeri Sionska; klikuj, Izrailju; raduj se i veseli se iz svega srca, kæeri Jerusalimska!
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.
Ukloni Gospod sudove tvoje, odvrati neprijatelje tvoje; car Izrailjev Gospod usred tebe je, neæeš se više bojati zla.
16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Do not be afraid,” and to Zion, “Do not let your hands be weakened.”
U onaj dan reæi æe se gradu Jerusalimu: ne boj se; Sionu: nemoj da ti klonu ruke.
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.
Gospod Bog tvoj, koji je usred tebe, silni, spašæe te; radovaæe ti se veoma, umiriæe se u ljubavi svojoj, veseliæe se tebe radi pjevajuæi.
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.
Koji tuže za praznicima, sabraæu ih, koji su iz tebe, radi teške sramote koja je na tebi.
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,
Gle, uništiæu u ono vrijeme sve koji te muèe, i izbaviæu hrome i sabrati odagnane, i dobaviæu im hvalu i slavu po svoj zemlji, gdje su bili pod sramotom.
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.
U ono vrijeme dovešæu vas, u ono vrijeme sabraæu vas; jer æu vam dobaviti slavu i hvalu po svijem narodima na zemlji, kad povratim roblje vaše pred vašim oèima, govori Gospod.
