Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthie and polluted, to the robbing citie.
这悖逆、污秽、欺压的城有祸了！
2 She heard not the voyce: she receiued not correction: she trusted not in the Lord: she drew not neere to her God.
她不听从命令，不领受训诲， 不倚靠耶和华， 不亲近她的 神。
3 Her princes within her are as roaring lyons: her iudges are as wolues in the euening, which leaue not the bones till the morow.
她中间的首领是咆哮的狮子； 她的审判官是晚上的豺狼， 一点食物也不留到早晨。
4 Her prophets are light, and wicked persons: her priests haue polluted the Sanctuarie: they haue wrested the Lawe.
她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人； 她的祭司亵渎圣所， 强解律法。
5 The iust Lord is in the middes thereof: he will doe none iniquitie: euery morning doeth hee bring his iudgement to light, he faileth not: but the wicked will not learne to be ashamed.
耶和华在她中间是公义的， 断不做非义的事， 每早晨显明他的公义，无日不然； 只是不义的人不知羞耻。
6 I haue cut off the nations: their towres are desolate: I haue made their streetes waste, that none shall passe by: their cities are destroyed without man and without inhabitant.
我—耶和华已经除灭列国的民； 他们的城楼毁坏。 我使他们的街道荒凉，以致无人经过； 他们的城邑毁灭，以致无人， 也无居民。
7 I said, Surely thou wilt feare me: thou wilt receiue instruction: so their dwelling shoulde not be destroyed howsoeuer I visited them, but they rose earely and corrupted all their workes.
我说：你只要敬畏我，领受训诲； 如此，你的住处不致照我所拟定的除灭。 只是你们从早起来就在一切事上败坏自己。
8 Therefore wait ye vpon me, saith the Lord, vntill the day that I rise vp to the praye: for I am determined to gather the nations, and that I will assemble the kingdomes to powre vpon them mine indignation, euen all my fierce wrath: for all the earth shall be deuoured with the fire of my ielousie.
耶和华说：你们要等候我， 直到我兴起掳掠的日子； 因为我已定意招聚列国，聚集列邦， 将我的恼怒—就是我的烈怒都倾在她们身上。 我的忿怒如火，必烧灭全地。
9 Surely then will I turne to the people a pure language, that they may all call vpon the Name of the Lord, to serue him with one cosent.
那时，我必使万民用清洁的言语 好求告我—耶和华的名， 同心合意地事奉我。
10 From beyonde the riuers of Ethiopia, the daughter of my dispersed, praying vnto me, shall bring me an offering.
祈祷我的，就是我所分散的民， 必从古实河外来，给我献供物。
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy workes, wherein thou hast transgressed against mee: for then I will take away out of the middes of thee them that reioyce of thy pride, and thou shalt no more be proude of mine holy Mountaine.
当那日，你必不因你一切得罪我的事自觉羞愧； 因为那时我必从你中间除掉矜夸高傲之辈， 你也不再于我的圣山狂傲。
12 Then will I leaue in the middes of thee an humble and poore people: and they shall trust in the Name of the Lord.
我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民； 他们必投靠我—耶和华的名。
13 The remnant of Israel shall do none iniquitie, nor speake lies: neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shalbe fed, and lie downe, and none shall make them afraide.
以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽， 不说谎言，口中也没有诡诈的舌头； 而且吃喝躺卧，无人惊吓。
14 Reioyce, O daughter Zion: be ye ioyfull, O Israel: be glad and reioyce with all thine heart, O daughter Ierusalem.
锡安的民哪，应当歌唱！ 以色列啊，应当欢呼！ 耶路撒冷的民哪，应当满心欢喜快乐！
15 The Lord hath taken away thy iudgements: hee hath cast out thine enemie: the King of Israel, euen the Lord is in the middes of thee: thou shalt see no more euill.
耶和华已经除去你的刑罚， 赶出你的仇敌。 以色列的王—耶和华在你中间； 你必不再惧怕灾祸。
16 In that day it shalbe said to Ierusalem, Feare thou not, O Zion: let not thine handes be faint.
当那日，必有话向耶路撒冷说： 不要惧怕！锡安哪； 不要手软！
17 The Lord thy God in the middes of thee is mightie: hee will saue, hee will reioyce ouer thee with ioye: he will quiet himselfe in his loue: he will reioyce ouer thee with ioy.
耶和华—你的 神是施行拯救、 大有能力的主。 他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐， 默然爱你，且因你喜乐而欢呼。
18 After a certaine time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproch for it.
那些属你、为无大会愁烦、 因你担当羞辱的，我必聚集他们。
19 Beholde, at that time I will bruise all that afflict thee, and I will saue her that halteth, and gather her that was cast out, and I will get them praise and fame in all the landes of their shame.
那时，我必罚办一切苦待你的人， 又拯救你瘸腿的，聚集你被赶出的。 那些在全地受羞辱的， 我必使他们得称赞，有名声。
20 At that time wil I bring you againe, and then wil I gather you: for I wil giue you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turne backe your captiuitie before your eyes, saith the Lord.
那时，我必领你们进来，聚集你们； 我使你们被掳之人归回的时候， 就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声，得称赞。 这是耶和华说的。
