Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
| وَيْلٌ لِلْمُتَمَرِّدَةِ ٱلْمُنَجَّسَةِ، ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱلْجَائِرَةِ! | ١ |
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
| لَمْ تَسْمَعِ ٱلصَّوْتَ. لَمْ تَقْبَلِ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ. لَمْ تَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. لَمْ تَتَقَرَّبْ إِلَى إِلَهِهَا. | ٢ |
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the next day.
| رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِي وَسَطِهَا أُسُودٌ زَائِرَةٌ. قُضَاتُهَا ذِئَابُ مَسَاءٍ لَا يُبْقُونَ شَيْئًا إِلَى ٱلصَّبَاحِ. | ٣ |
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
| أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا مُتَفَاخِرُونَ أَهْلُ غُدْرَاتٍ. كَهَنَتُهَا نَجَّسُوا ٱلْقُدْسَ، خَالَفُوا ٱلشَّرِيعَةَ. | ٤ |
5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.
| اَلرَّبُّ عَادِلٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا لَا يَفْعَلُ ظُلْمًا. غَدَاةً غَدَاةً يُبْرِزُ حُكْمَهُ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ. لَا يَتَعَذَّرُ. أَمَّا ٱلظَّالِمُ فَلَا يَعْرِفُ ٱلْخِزْيَ. | ٥ |
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passes by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
| «قَطَعْتُ أُمَمًا، خَرَّبْتُ شُرُفَاتِهِمْ، أَقْفَرْتُ أَسْوَاقَهُمْ بِلَا عَابِرٍ. دُمِّرَتْ مُدُنُهُمْ بِلَا إِنْسَانٍ، بِغَيْرِ سَاكِنٍ. | ٦ |
7 I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
| فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّكِ لِتَخْشَيْنَنِي، تَقْبَلِينَ ٱلتَّأْدِيبَ. فَلَا يَنْقَطِعُ مَسْكَنُهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَيَّنْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا. لَكِنْ بَكَّرُوا وَأَفْسَدُوا جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. | ٧ |
8 Therefore wait all of you upon me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
| «لِذَلِكَ فَٱنْتَظِرُونِي، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ، إِلَى يَوْمِ أَقُومُ إِلَى ٱلسَّلْبِ، لِأَنَّ حُكْمِي هُوَ بِجَمْعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَحَشْرِ ٱلْمَمَالِكِ، لِأَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي، كُلَّ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِي. لِأَنَّهُ بِنَارِ غَيْرَتِي تُؤْكَلُ كُلُّ ٱلْأَرْضِ. | ٨ |
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
| لِأَنِّي حِينَئِذٍ أُحَوِّلُ ٱلشُّعُوبَ إِلَى شَفَةٍ نَقِيَّةٍ، لِيَدْعُوا كُلُّهُمْ بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ، لِيَعْبُدُوهُ بِكَتِفٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. | ٩ |
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
| مِنْ عَبْرِ أَنْهَارِ كُوشٍ ٱلْمُتَضَرِّعُونَ إِلَيَّ، مُتَبَدِّدِيَّ، يُقَدِّمُونَ تَقْدِمَتِي. | ١٠ |
11 In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your doings, wherein you have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you them that rejoice in your pride, and you shall no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ لَا تَخْزَيْنَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْمَالِكِ ٱلَّتِي تَعَدَّيْتِ بِهَا عَلَيَّ. لِأَنِّي حِينَئِذٍ أَنْزِعُ مِنْ وَسَطِكِ مُبْتَهِجِي كِبْرِيَائِكِ، وَلَنْ تَعُودِي بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلتَّكَبُّرِ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي. | ١١ |
12 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
| وَأُبْقِي فِي وَسَطِكِ شَعْبًا بَائِسًا وَمِسْكِينًا، فَيَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى ٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٢ |
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
| بَقِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَفْعَلُونَ إِثْمًا، وَلَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَلَا يُوجَدُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِسَانُ غِشٍّ، لِأَنَّهُمْ يَرْعَوْنَ وَيَرْبُضُونَ وَلَا مُخِيفَ». | ١٣ |
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
| تَرَنَّمِي يَا ٱبْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ! ٱهْتُفْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ! ٱفْرَحِي وَٱبْتَهِجِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكِ يَا ٱبْنَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ! | ١٤ |
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil any more.
| قَدْ نَزَعَ ٱلرَّبُّ ٱلْأَقْضِيَةَ عَلَيْكِ، أَزَالَ عَدُوَّكِ. مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِكِ. لَا تَنْظُرِينَ بَعْدُ شَرًّا. | ١٥ |
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands be slack.
| فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ يُقَالُ لِأُورُشَلِيمَ: «لَا تَخَافِي يَا صِهْيَوْنُ. لَا تَرْتَخِ يَدَاكِ. | ١٦ |
17 The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing.
| ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ جَبَّارٌ. يُخَلِّصُ. يَبْتَهِجُ بِكِ فَرَحًا. يَسْكُتُ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ. يَبْتَهِجُ بِكِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ». | ١٧ |
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
| «أَجْمَعُ ٱلْمَحْزُونِينَ عَلَى ٱلْمَوْسِمِ. كَانُوا مِنْكِ. حَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْعَارَ. | ١٨ |
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict you: and I will save her that haltes, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
| هَأَنَذَا فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أُعَامِلُ كُلَّ مُذَلِّلِيكِ، وَأُخَلِّصُ ٱلظَّالِعَةَ، وَأَجْمَعُ ٱلْمَنْفِيَّةَ، وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ تَسْبِيحَةً وَٱسْمًا فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ خِزْيِهِمْ، | ١٩ |
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD.
| فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ ٱلَّذِي فِيهِ آتِي بِكُمْ وَفِي وَقْتِ جَمْعِي إِيَّاكُمْ. لِأَنِّي أُصَيِّرُكُمُ ٱسْمًا وَتَسْبِيحَةً فِي شُعُوبِ ٱلْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، حِينَ أَرُدُّ مَسْبِيِّيكُمْ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ، قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ». | ٢٠ |
