Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is rebellious and corrupted, to the oppressing city!
Vae provocatrix, et redempta civitas, columba.
2 She hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she confided not in Jehovah; she drew not near her God.
Non audivit vocem, et non suscepit disciplinam: in Domino non est confisa, ad Deum suum non appropinquavit.
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, that leave nothing for the morning.
Principes eius in medio eius quasi leones rugientes: iudices eius lupi vespere, non relinquebant in mane.
4 Her prophets are vain-glorious, treacherous persons; her priests profane the sanctuary, they do violence to the law.
Prophetae eius vesani, viri infideles: sacerdotes eius polluerunt sanctum, iniuste egerunt contra legem.
5 The righteous Jehovah is in the midst of her: he doeth no wrong. Every morning doth he bring his judgment to light; it faileth not: but the unrighteous knoweth no shame.
Dominus iustus in medio eius non faciet iniquitatem: mane mane iudicium suum dabit in lucem, et non abscondetur: nescivit autem iniquus confusionem.
6 I have cut off nations: their battlements are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
Disperdidi Gentes, et dissipati sunt anguli earum: desertas feci vias eorum, dum non est qui transeat: desolatae sunt civitates eorum, non remanente viro, neque ullo habitatore.
7 I said, Only fear me, receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, howsoever I may punish her. But they rose early, they corrupted all their doings.
Dixi: Attamen timebis me, suscipies disciplinam: et non peribit habitaculum eius propter omnia, in quibus visitavi eam: verumtamen diluculo surgentes corruperunt omnes cogitationes suas.
8 Therefore wait ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nations, that I may gather the kingdoms together, to pour upon them mine indignation, — all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Quapropter expecta me, dicit Dominus, in die resurrectionis meae in futurum, quia iudicium meum ut congregem Gentes, et colligam regna: et effundam super eos indignationem meam, omnem iram furoris mei: in igne enim zeli mei devorabitur omnis terra.
9 For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.
Quia tunc reddam populis labium electum, ut invocent omnes in nomine Domini, et serviant ei humero uno.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine oblation.
Ultra flumina Aethiopiae, inde supplices mei, filii dispersorum meorum deferent munus mihi.
11 In that day thou shalt not be ashamed for all thy doings wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that exult in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
In die illa non confunderis super cunctis adinventionibus tuis, quibus praevaricata es in me: quia tunc auferam de medio tui magniloquos superbiae tuae, et non adiicies exaltari amplius in monte sancto meo.
12 And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of Jehovah.
Et derelinquam in medio tui populum pauperem, et egenum: et sperabunt in nomine Domini.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not work unrighteousness, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: but they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Reliquiae Israel non facient iniquitatem, nec loquentur mendacium, et non invenietur in ore eorum lingua dolosa: quoniam ipsi pascentur, et accubabunt, et non erit qui exterreat.
14 Exult, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; rejoice and be glad with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem:
Lauda filia Sion: iubila Israel: laetare, et exulta in omni corde filia Ierusalem.
15 Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy; the King of Israel, Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more.
Abstulit Dominus iudicium tuum, avertit inimicos tuos: rex Israel Dominus in medio tui, non timebis malum ultra.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear not; Zion, let not thy hands be slack.
In die illa dicetur Ierusalem: Noli timere: Sion, non dissolvantur manus tuae.
17 Jehovah thy God is in thy midst, a mighty one that will save: he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will exult over thee with singing.
Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui fortis, ipse salvabit: gaudebit super te in laetitia, silebit in dilectione tua, exultabit super te in laude.
18 I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assemblies, who were of thee: the reproach of it was a burden [unto them].
Nugas, qui a lege recesserant, congregabo, quia ex te erant: ut non ultra habeas super eis opprobrium.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save her that halted, and gather her that was driven out; and I will make them a praise and a name in all the lands where they have been put to shame.
Ecce ego interficiam omnes, qui afflixerunt te in tempore illo: et salvabo claudicantem: et eam, quae eiecta fuerat congregabo: et ponam eos in laudem, et in nomen, in omni terra confusionis eorum.
20 At that time will I bring you, yea, at the time that I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I shall turn again your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.
In tempore illo, quo adducam vos: et in tempore, quo congregabo vos: dabo enim vos in nomen, et in laudem omnibus populis terrae, cum convertero captivitatem vestram coram oculis vestris, dicit Dominus.
