< Zephaniah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Sofoniji sinu Husija sina Godolije sina Amarije sina Jezekijina, za vremena Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina.
2 While gathering, I will gather together all things from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
Sve æu uzeti sa zemlje, govori Gospod;
3 I will gather man and cattle; I will gather the flying things of the air and the fish of the sea. And the impious will be a catastrophe. And I will disperse men before the face of the earth, says the Lord.
Uzeæu ljude i stoku, uzeæu ptice nebeske i ribe morske i sablazni s bezbožnicima, i istrijebiæu ljude sa zemlje, govori Gospod.
4 And I will extend my hand over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will disperse from this place the remnant of Baal, and the names of the administrators along with the priests,
Jer æu mahnuti rukom svojom na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jerusalimske, i istrijebiæu iz mjesta ovoga ostatak Valov i ime sveštenika idolskih s drugim sveštenicima,
5 and those who adore the military campaign over the ceiling of the sky, both those who adore and swear by the Lord, and those who swear by Melchom,
I one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj i koji se klanjaju i kunu se Gospodom i koji se kunu Melhomom.
6 both those who turn aside from following after the Lord, and those who have not sought the Lord, nor inquired about him.
I one koji se odvraæaju od Gospoda i koji ne traže Gospoda niti pitaju za nj.
7 Be silent before the face of the Lord God. For the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared a victim, he has sanctified those he has called.
Muèi pred Gospodom Gospodom, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji, jer je Gospod prigotovio žrtvu i pozvao svoje zvanice.
8 And this shall be: in the day of the victim of the Lord, I will visit upon the leaders, and upon the sons of the king, and upon all who have been clothed with strange garments.
I u dan žrtve Gospodnje pohodiæu knezove i carske sinove i sve koji nose tuðinsko odijelo.
9 And I will visit upon all who enter arrogantly over the threshold in that day, those who fill the house of the Lord their God with iniquity and deceit.
I pohodiæu u taj dan sve koji skaèu preko praga, koji pune kuæu gospodara svojih grabežem i prijevarom.
10 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord: the voice of an outcry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great contrition from the hills.
I u taj æe dan, veli Gospod, biti vika od ribljih vrata, i jauk s druge strane, i polom velik s humova.
11 Howl, inhabitants of the Pillar. All the people of Canaan have fallen silent. All were ruined who had been wrapped in silver.
Ridajte koji živite u Maktesu, jer izgibe sav narod trgovaèki, istrijebiše se svi koji nose srebro.
12 And this shall be in that time: I will scrutinize Jerusalem with lamps, and I will visit upon the men who have become stuck in the dregs, who say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, and he will not do evil.”
I u to æu vrijeme razgledati Jerusalim sa žišcima, i pohodiæu ljude koji leže na svojoj droždini, koji govore u srcu svom: Gospod ne èini ni dobro ni zlo.
13 And their strength will be in plundering, and their houses in the desert. And they will build houses and not dwell in them, and they will plant vineyards and not drink their wine.
I blago æe se njihovo razgrabiti i kuæe njihove opustošiti; grade kuæe, ali neæe sjedjeti u njima; i sade vinograde, ali neæe piti vina iz njih.
14 The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and exceedingly swift. The voice of the day of the Lord is bitter; the strong will be tested there.
Blizu je veliki dan Gospodnji, blizu je i ide vrlo brzo; glas æe biti dana Gospodnjega, gorko æe tada vikati junak.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and anguish, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and whirlwinds,
Taj je dan dan, kada æe biti gnjev, dan, kada æe biti tuga i muka, dan, kada æe biti pustošenje i zatiranje, dan, kada æe biti mrak i tama, dan, kada æe biti oblak i magla,
16 a day of the trumpet and the trumpet blast over fortified cities and over exalted ramparts.
Dan, kada æe biti trubljenje i pokliè na tvrde gradove i na visoke uglove.
17 And I will trouble men, and they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord. And their blood will be poured out like soil, and their bodies like manure.
I pritijesniæu ljude, te æe iæi kao slijepi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu; i krv æe se njihova prosuti kao prah i tjelesa njihova kao gnoj.
18 Neither their silver, nor their gold, will be able to free them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. All the land will be devoured in the fire of his zeal, for with all speed, he will bring to consummation every inhabitant of the land.
Ni srebro njihovo ni zlato njihovo neæe ih moæi izbaviti u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega; i svu æe zemlju proždrijeti oganj revnosti njegove; jer æe brzo uèiniti kraj svjema stanovnicima zemaljskim.
