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.
Riječ Jahvina upućena Sefaniji, sinu Kušija, sina Gedalijina, sina Amarjina, sina Ezekijina, u vrijeme Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja judejskoga.
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
“Da, sve ću zbrisati s lica zemlje” - riječ je Jahvina!
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.
“Izbrisat ću ljude i zvijeri, ptice nebeske i ribe morske, učinit ću da padnu bezbožnici, istrijebit ću ljude s lica zemlje” - riječ je Jahvina!
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,
“Podignut ću ruku na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jeruzalema i istrijebit ću iz ovoga mjesta ostatak Baalov, ime služitelja idolskih sa svećenicima njegovim;
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,
one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj, one koji se klanjaju pred Jahvom a zaklinju se Milkomom;
6 And them that are turned backe from the Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.
one koji su se odmetnuli od Jahve, koji ne traže Jahvu i nimalo za nj ne mare.”
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.
Tišina pred Jahvom Gospodom, jer je dan Jahvin blizu! Da, Jahve je prigotovio žrtvu, posvetio je svoje uzvanike.
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.
“U dan žrtve Jahvine, kaznit ću knezove, sinove kraljeve, i sve koji se oblače na način tuđinski.
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.
Kaznit ću u taj dan sve koji preko praga poskakuju, koji Dom Gospodara svojega pune nasiljem i prijevarom.”
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.
“U onaj dan” - riječ je Jahvina - “vapaj će se podići od Ribljih vrata, urlici iz novog dijela grada, silna lomljavina sa brežuljaka.
11 Howle ye inhabitants of the lowe place: for the companie of the marchants is destroyed: all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
Kukajte, stanovnici makteški, jer je satrt sav narod kanaanski, zbrisani su svi mjerači srebra.
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.
I u to vrijeme pretražit ću Jeruzalem sa zubljama i pohodit ću kaznom ljude koji miruju na svojoj vinskoj droždini i u svom srcu govore: 'Jahve ne može učiniti ni dobro ni zlo.'”
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.
Blago njihovo bit će prepušteno pljački, njihove kuće pustošenju. Oni su gradili kuće - neće u njima stanovati; sadili su vinograde - iz njih vina neće piti.
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.
Blizu je dan Jahvin, veliki! Blizu je i žurno dolazi! Gorak je glas dana Jahvina: tada će i junak zajaukati.
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,
Dan gnjeva, onaj dan! Dan tjeskobe i nevolje! Dan užasa i pustošenja! Dan pomrčine i naoblake! Dan tmina i magluština!
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
Dan trubljavine i bojne vike na gradove utvrđene i na visoka kruništa.
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.
“Prepustit ću ljude nevoljama i vrludat će kao slijepci (jer su protiv Jahve sagriješili), krv će se njihova prosuti kao prašina, njihova trupla bit će bačena kao smeće.
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.
Ni njihovo srebro ni njihovo zlato neće ih spasiti.” U dan gnjeva Jahvina oganj njegove revnosti svu će zemlju sažeći. Jer on će uništiti, zatrti sve stanovnike zemlje.
