Zephaniah 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came unto 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.
Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Sophoniam filium Chusi, filii Godoliæ, filii Amariæ, filii Ezeciæ, in diebus Iosiæ filii Amon regis Iudæ.
2 I will utterly take away everything from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah:
Congregans congregabo omnia a facie terræ, dicit Dominus:
3 I will take away man and beast; I will take away the fowl of the heavens and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked, and I will cut off mankind from off the face of the ground, saith Jehovah.
congregans hominem, et pecus, congregans volatilia cæli, et pisces maris: et ruinæ impiorum erunt: et disperdam homines a facie terræ, dicit Dominus.
4 And I will stretch forth my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the Chemarim with the priests;
Et extendam manum meam super Iudam, et super omnes habitantes Ierusalem: et disperdam de loco hoc reliquias Baal, et nomina ædituorum cum sacerdotibus:
5 and them that bow down to the host of the heavens upon the housetops; and them that bow down to Jehovah, that swear by [him], and swear by Malcham;
et eos, qui adorant super tecta militiam cæli, et adorant, et iurant in Domino, et iurant in Melchom.
6 and them that turn back from after Jehovah, and that do not seek Jehovah, nor inquire for him.
Et qui avertuntur de post tergum Domini, et qui non quæsierunt Dominum, nec investigaverunt eum.
7 Be silent at the presence of the Lord Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is at hand; for Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath hallowed his guests.
Silete a facie Domini Dei: quia iuxta est dies Domini, quia præparavit Dominus hostiam, sanctificavit vocatos suos.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Jehovah's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
Et erit: in die hostiæ Domini visitabo super principes, et super filios regis, et super omnes, qui induti sunt veste peregrina:
9 And in that day will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.
et visitabo super omnem, qui arroganter ingreditur super limen in die illa: qui complent domum Domini Dei sui iniquitate, et dolo.
10 And in that day, saith Jehovah, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, and a howling from the second [quarter], and a great crashing from the hills.
Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, vox clamoris a porta piscium, et ululatus a Secunda, et contritio magna a collibus.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh; for all the people of Canaan are cut down, all they that are laden with silver are cut off.
Ululate habitatores Pilæ: conticuit omnis populus Chanaan, disperierunt omnes involuti argento.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Et erit in tempore illo: scrutabor Ierusalem in lucernis: et visitabo super viros defixos in fæcibus suis: qui dicunt in cordibus suis: Non faciet bene Dominus, et non faciet male.
13 And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation; and they shall build houses, and not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and not drink the wine thereof.
Et erit fortitudo eorum in direptionem, et domus eorum in desertum: et ædificabunt domos, et non habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et non bibent vinum earum.
14 The great day of Jehovah is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly. The voice of the day of Jehovah: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Iuxta est dies Domini magnus, iuxta est et velox nimis: vox diei Domini amara, tribulabitur ibi fortis.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of ruin and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness,
Dies iræ dies illa, dies tribulationis et angustiæ, dies calamitatis et miseriæ, dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nebulæ et turbinis,
16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities and against the high battlements.
dies tubæ et clangoris super civitates munitas, et super angulos excelsos.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, and they shall walk like blind men; for they have sinned against Jehovah; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung:
Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut cæci, quia Domino peccaverunt: et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus, et corpora eorum sicut stercora.
18 their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, in the day of Jehovah's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for a full end, yea, a sudden [end], shall he make of all them that dwell in the land.
Sed et argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non poterit liberare eos in die iræ Domini: in igne zeli eius devorabitur omnis terra, quia consummationem cum festinatione faciet cunctis habitantibus terram.
