Zephaniah 2
1 Gather your selues, euen gather you, O nation not worthie to be loued,
Saberite se, saberite se, narode nemili,
2 Before the decree come foorth, and ye be as chaffe that passeth in a day, and before the fierce wrath of the Lord come vpon you, and before the day of the Lords anger come vpon you.
Dok nije izašao sud, i dan prošao kao pljeva, dok nije došao na vas ljuti gnjev Gospodnji, dok nije došao na vas dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
3 Seeke yee the Lord all the meeke of the earth, which haue wrought his iudgement: seeke righteousnesse, seeke lowlinesse, if so bee that ye may be hid in the day of the Lords wrath.
Tražite Gospoda svi koji ste krotki u zemlji, koji èinite što je naredio; tražite pravdu, tražite krotost, eda biste se sakrili na dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
4 For Azzah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate: they shall driue out Ashdod at the noone day, and Ekron shalbe rooted vp.
Jer æe se Gaza ostaviti i Askalon æe opustjeti; Azot æe se odagnati u podne i Akaron æe se iskorijeniti.
5 Wo vnto the inhabitants of the sea coast. the nation of the Cherethims, the worde of the Lord is against you: O Canaan, the lande of the Philistims, I will euen destroye thee without an inhabitant.
Teško onima koji žive po bregovima morskim, narodu Heretejskom: rijeè je Gospodnja na vas, Hanane, zemljo Filistejska, ja æu te zatrti da ne bude stanovnika u tebi.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cotages for shepheardes and sheepefoldes.
I bregovi æe morski biti stanovi i jame pastirske i torovi za stada.
7 And that coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Iudah, to feede thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lodge toward night: for the Lord their God shall visite them, and turne away their captiuitie.
I taj æe kraj biti ostatku doma Judina; ondje æe pasti; u domovima æe Askalonskim lijegati uveèe; jer æe ih pohoditi Gospod Bog njihov i povratiti roblje njihovo.
8 I haue heard the reproch of Moab, and the rebukes of the children of Ammon, whereby they vpbraided my people, and magnified themselues against their borders.
Èuo sam rug Moavov i ukore sinova Amonovijeh kojima ružiše moj narod, i raširiše se preko meða njihovijeh.
9 Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall bee as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorah, euen the breeding of nettels and salt pittes, and a perpetuall desolation: the residue of my folke shall spoyle them, and the remnant of my people shall possesse them.
Zato, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, Moav æe biti kao Sodom i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomor, mjesto koprivama, i slanica i vjeèna pustoš: ostatak naroda mojega oplijeniæe ih, i koji ostanu od naroda mojega naslijediæe ih.
10 This shall they haue for their pride, because they haue reproched and magnified themselues against the Lord of hostes people.
To æe im biti za ponositost njihovu; jer ružiše narod Gospoda nad vojskama i podizaše se na nj.
11 The Lord will be terrible vnto them: for he wil consume all the gods of the earth, and euery man shall worship him from his place, euen all the yles of the heathen.
Strašan æe im biti Gospod, jer æe istrijebiti sve bogove zemaljske, i njemu æe se klanjati svaki iz svojega mjesta, sva ostrva narodna.
12 Ye Morians also shalbe slaine by my sword with them.
I vi, Etiopljani, biæete pobijeni maèem mojim.
13 And he wil stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Asshur, and will make Nineueh desolate, and waste like a wildernesse.
I dignuæe ruku svoju na sjever, i zatræe Asirsku, i Nineviju æe opustiti da bude suha kao pustinja.
14 And flockes shall lie in the middes of her, and all the beastes of the nations, and the pelicane, and the owle shall abide in the vpper postes of it: the voyce of birdes shall sing in the windowes, and desolations shalbe vpon the postes: for the cedars are vncouered.
I u njoj æe ležati stada, svakojako zvijerje izmeðu naroda, i gem i æuk noæivaæe na dovratnicima njezinijem; glasom æe pjevati na prozorima; pustoš æe biti na pragovima, jer æe se poskidati kedrovina.
15 This is the reioycing citie that dwelt carelesse, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she made waste, and the lodging of the beastes! euery one that passeth by her, shall hisse and wagge his hand.
Taki æe biti veseli grad, koji sjedi bez brige, koji govori u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema drugoga. Kako opustje! posta loža zvijerju! Ko god proðe mimo nj zviždaæe i mahati rukom.
