Zephaniah 1
1 The word of Yhwh which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Sophoniam filium Chusi, filii Godoliae, filii Amariae, filii Ezechiae, in diebus Iosiae filii Amon regis Iuda.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith Yhwh.
Congregans congregabo omnia a facie terrae, dicit Dominus:
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith Yhwh.
congregans hominem, et pecus, congregans volatilia caeli, et pisces maris: et ruinae impiorum erunt: et disperdam homines a facie terrae, dicit Dominus.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
Et extendam manum meam super Iuda, et super omnes habitantes Ierusalem: et disperdam de loco hoc reliquias Baal, et nomina aedituorum cum sacerdotibus:
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by Yhwh, and that swear by Malcham;
et eos, qui adorant super tecta militiam caeli, et adorant, et iurant in Domino, et iurant in Melchom.
6 And them that are turned back from Yhwh; and those that have not sought Yhwh, nor enquired for him.
Et qui avertuntur de post tergum Domini, et qui non quaesierunt Dominum, nec investigaverunt eum.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Yhwh: for the day of Yhwh is at hand: for Yhwh hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
Silete a facie Domini Dei: quia iuxta est dies Domini, quia praeparavit Dominus hostiam, sanctificavit vocatos suos.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of Yhwh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Et erit: in die hostiae Domini visitabo super principes, et super filios regis, et super omnes, qui induti sunt veste peregrina:
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
et visitabo super omnem, qui arroganter ingreditur super limen in die illa: qui complent domum Domini Dei sui iniquitate, et dolo.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yhwh, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, vox clamoris a porta piscium, et ululatus a Secunda, et contritio magna a collibus.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
Ululate habitatores Pilae: conticuit omnis populus Chanaan, disperierunt omnes involuti argento.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, Yhwh will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Et erit in tempore illo: scrutabor Ierusalem in lucernis: et visitabo super viros defixos in faecibus suis: qui dicunt in cordibus suis: Non faciet bene Dominus, et non faciet male.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
Et erit fortitudo eorum in direptionem, et domus eorum in desertum: et aedificabunt domos, et non habitabunt: et plantabunt vineas, et non bibent vinum earum.
14 The great day of Yhwh is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of Yhwh: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Iuxta est dies Domini magnus, iuxta est et velox nimis: vox diei Domini amara, tribulabitur ibi fortis.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Dies irae dies illa, dies tribulationis et angustiae, dies calamitatis et miseriae, dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nebulae et turbinis,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
dies tubae et clangoris super civitates munitas, et super angulos excelsos.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yhwh: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut caeci, quia Domino peccaverunt: et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus, et corpora eorum sicut stercora.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of Yhwh's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Sed et argentum eorum, et aurum eorum non poterit liberare eos in die irae Domini: in igne zeli eius devorabitur omnis terra, quia consummationem cum festinatione faciet cunctis habitantibus terram.
