Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the Lord, which came vnto Zephaniah ye sonne of Cushi, the sonne of Gedaliah, the sonne of Amariah, the sonne of Hizkiah, in the dayes of Iosiah, the sonne of Amon King of Iudah.
当犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚在位的时候，耶和华的话临到希西家的玄孙，亚玛利雅的曾孙，基大利的孙子，古示的儿子西番雅。
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
耶和华说： 我必从地上除灭万类。
3 I will destroy man and beast: I wil destroy the foules of the heauen, and the fishes of the sea, and ruines shalbe to the wicked, and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord.
我必除灭人和牲畜， 与空中的鸟、海里的鱼， 以及绊脚石和恶人； 我必将人从地上剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
4 I will also stretch out mine hand vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and I wil cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with ye Priestes,
我必伸手攻击犹大 和耶路撒冷的一切居民， 也必从这地方剪除所剩下的巴力， 并基玛林的名和祭司，
5 And them that worship the hoste of heauen vpon the house tops, and them that worship and sweare by the Lord, and sweare by Malcham,
与那些在房顶上敬拜天上万象的， 并那些敬拜耶和华指着他起誓， 又指着玛勒堪起誓的，
6 And them that are turned backe from the Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.
与那些转去不跟从耶和华的， 和不寻求耶和华也不访问他的。
7 Be stil at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, and hath sanctified his ghests.
你要在主耶和华面前静默无声， 因为耶和华的日子快到。 耶和华已经预备祭物， 将他的客分别为圣。
8 And it shalbe in the day of the Lords sacrifice, that I will visite the princes and the Kings children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparell.
到了我—耶和华献祭的日子， 必惩罚首领和王子， 并一切穿外邦衣服的。
9 In the same day also will I visite all those that dance vpon the threshold so proudly, which fill their masters houses by crueltie and deceite.
到那日，我必惩罚一切跳过门槛、 将强暴和诡诈得来之物充满主人房屋的。
10 And in that day, saith the Lord, there shall be a noise, and cry from the fishgate, and an howling from the second gate, and a great destruction from the hilles.
耶和华说：当那日， 从鱼门必发出悲哀的声音， 从二城发出哀号的声音， 从山间发出大破裂的响声。
11 Howle ye inhabitants of the lowe place: for the companie of the marchants is destroyed: all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
玛革提施的居民哪，你们要哀号， 因为迦南的商民都灭亡了！ 凡搬运银子的都被剪除。
12 And at that time will I searche Ierusalem with lightes, and visite the men that are frosen in their dregges, and say in their heartes, The Lord will neither doe good nor doe euill.
那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷； 我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的； 他们心里说： 耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。
13 Therefore their goods shall be spoyled, and their houses waste: they shall also build houses, but not inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, but not drinke the wine thereof.
他们的财宝必成为掠物； 他们的房屋必变为荒场。 他们必建造房屋，却不得住在其内； 栽种葡萄园，却不得喝所出的酒。
14 The great day of the Lord is neere: it is neere, and hasteth greatly, euen the voyce of the day of the Lord: the strong man shall cry there bitterly.
耶和华的大日临近， 临近而且甚快， 乃是耶和华日子的风声； 勇士必痛痛地哭号。
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and heauinesse, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of obscuritie and darkenesse, a day of cloudes and blackenesse,
那日是忿怒的日子， 是急难困苦的日子， 是荒废凄凉的日子， 是黑暗幽冥、密云乌黑的日子，
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
是吹角呐喊的日子， 要攻击坚固城和高大的城楼。
17 And I will bring distresse vpon men, that they shall walke like blind men, because they haue sinned against the Lord, and their blood shall be powred out as dust, and their flesh as the dongue.
我必使灾祸临到人身上， 使他们行走如同瞎眼的， 因为得罪了我。 他们的血必倒出如灰尘； 他们的肉必抛弃如粪土。
18 Neither their siluer nor their golde shalbe able to deliuer them in ye day of the Lords wrath, but the whole lande shalbe deuoured by the fire of his ielousie: for hee shall make euen a speedie riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
当耶和华发怒的日子， 他们的金银不能救他们； 他的忿怒如火必烧灭全地， 毁灭这地的一切居民，而且大大毁灭。
