Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthie and polluted, to the robbing citie.
Teško gradu odmetnièkom i oskvrnjenom, nasilnièkom!
2 She heard not the voyce: she receiued not correction: she trusted not in the Lord: she drew not neere to her God.
Ne sluša glasa, ne prima nauka, ne uzda se u Gospoda, ne pristupa k Bogu svojemu.
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.
Knezovi su mu u njemu lavovi koji rièu; sudije su mu vuci veèernji, koji ne gloðu kosti do jutra.
4 Her prophets are light, and wicked persons: her priests haue polluted the Sanctuarie: they haue wrested the Lawe.
Proroci su mu hvališe, varalice; sveštenici njegovi skvrne svetinju, izvræu zakon.
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.
Gospod je pravedan usred njega, ne èini nepravde, svako jutro iznosi sud svoj na vidjelo, ne izostaje, ali bezbožnik ne zna za stid.
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.
Istrijebih narode, kule im se razoriše, ulice im opustih, te niko ne prolazi; gradovi im se raskopaše, da nema nikoga, nema stanovnika.
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.
Rekoh: pobojaæeš me se, primiæeš nauk; neæe mu se zatrti stan nièim su èim bih ga pohodio; ali oni uraniše te pokvariše sva djela svoja.
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.
Zato èekajte me, govori Gospod, do dana kad æu se podignuti na plijen; jer je sud moj da saberem narode i pokupim carstva, da izlijem na njih gnjev svoj, svu žestinu jarosti svoje, jer æe oganj revnosti moje proždrijeti svu zemlju.
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.
Jer æu tada promijeniti narodima usne, te æe biti èiste, da bi svi prizivali ime Gospodnje i služili mu složnijem ramenima.
10 From beyonde the riuers of Ethiopia, the daughter of my dispersed, praying vnto me, shall bring me an offering.
Ispreko rijeka Huskih koji se meni mole, rasijani moji, donijeæe mi dare.
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.
Tada se neæeš više stidjeti nijednoga svojih djela, kojima si mi zgriješio; jer æu onda uzeti iz tebe one koji se hvale slavom tvojom, i neæeš se više velièati na svetoj gori mojoj.
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.
I ostaviæu u tebi narod nevoljan i siromašan, i oni æe se uzdati u ime Gospodnje.
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.
Ostatak Izrailjev neæe èiniti bezakonja niti æe govoriti laži, niti æe se naæi u ustima njihovijem jezik prijevaran; nego æe pasti i ležati i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
14 Reioyce, O daughter Zion: be ye ioyfull, O Israel: be glad and reioyce with all thine heart, O daughter Ierusalem.
Pjevaj, kæeri Sionska; klikuj, Izrailju; raduj se i veseli se iz svega srca, kæeri Jerusalimska!
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.
Ukloni Gospod sudove tvoje, odvrati neprijatelje tvoje; car Izrailjev Gospod usred tebe je, neæeš se više bojati zla.
16 In that day it shalbe said to Ierusalem, Feare thou not, O Zion: let not thine handes be faint.
U onaj dan reæi æe se gradu Jerusalimu: ne boj se; Sionu: nemoj da ti klonu ruke.
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.
Gospod Bog tvoj, koji je usred tebe, silni, spašæe te; radovaæe ti se veoma, umiriæe se u ljubavi svojoj, veseliæe se tebe radi pjevajuæi.
18 After a certaine time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproch for it.
Koji tuže za praznicima, sabraæu ih, koji su iz tebe, radi teške sramote koja je na tebi.
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.
Gle, uništiæu u ono vrijeme sve koji te muèe, i izbaviæu hrome i sabrati odagnane, i dobaviæu im hvalu i slavu po svoj zemlji, gdje su bili pod sramotom.
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.
U ono vrijeme dovešæu vas, u ono vrijeme sabraæu vas; jer æu vam dobaviti slavu i hvalu po svijem narodima na zemlji, kad povratim roblje vaše pred vašim oèima, govori Gospod.
