Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Teško gradu odmetnièkom i oskvrnjenom, nasilnièkom!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near 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 roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the next day.
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 treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Proroci su mu hvališe, varalice; sveštenici njegovi skvrne svetinju, izvræu zakon.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
Jer æu tada promijeniti narodima usne, te æe biti èiste, da bi svi prizivali ime Gospodnje i služili mu složnijem ramenima.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
Ispreko rijeka Huskih koji se meni mole, rasijani moji, donijeæe mi dare.
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.
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 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor 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 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.
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 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Pjevaj, kæeri Sionska; klikuj, Izrailju; raduj se i veseli se iz svega srca, kæeri Jerusalimska!
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.
Ukloni Gospod sudove tvoje, odvrati neprijatelje tvoje; car Izrailjev Gospod usred tebe je, neæeš se više bojati zla.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands be slack.
U onaj dan reæi æe se gradu Jerusalimu: ne boj se; Sionu: nemoj da ti klonu ruke.
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.
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 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
Koji tuže za praznicima, sabraæu ih, koji su iz tebe, radi teške sramote koja je na tebi.
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.
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 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.
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.
