Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the LORD 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.
当犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚在位的时候，耶和华的话临到希西家的玄孙，亚玛利雅的曾孙，基大利的孙子，古示的儿子西番雅。
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, says the LORD.
耶和华说： 我必从地上除灭万类。
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, says the LORD.
我必除灭人和牲畜， 与空中的鸟、海里的鱼， 以及绊脚石和恶人； 我必将人从地上剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
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;
我必伸手攻击犹大 和耶路撒冷的一切居民， 也必从这地方剪除所剩下的巴力， 并基玛林的名和祭司，
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
与那些在房顶上敬拜天上万象的， 并那些敬拜耶和华指着他起誓， 又指着玛勒堪起誓的，
6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
与那些转去不跟从耶和华的， 和不寻求耶和华也不访问他的。
7 Hold your peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has bid his guest.
你要在主耶和华面前静默无声， 因为耶和华的日子快到。 耶和华已经预备祭物， 将他的客分别为圣。
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
到了我—耶和华献祭的日子， 必惩罚首领和王子， 并一切穿外邦衣服的。
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.
到那日，我必惩罚一切跳过门槛、 将强暴和诡诈得来之物充满主人房屋的。
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, 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.
耶和华说：当那日， 从鱼门必发出悲哀的声音， 从二城发出哀号的声音， 从山间发出大破裂的响声。
11 Wail, all of you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
玛革提施的居民哪，你们要哀号， 因为迦南的商民都灭亡了！ 凡搬运银子的都被剪除。
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 sediments of wine: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷； 我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的； 他们心里说： 耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。
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.
他们的财宝必成为掠物； 他们的房屋必变为荒场。 他们必建造房屋，却不得住在其内； 栽种葡萄园，却不得喝所出的酒。
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hastes greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
耶和华的大日临近， 临近而且甚快， 乃是耶和华日子的风声； 勇士必痛痛地哭号。
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
那日是忿怒的日子， 是急难困苦的日子， 是荒废凄凉的日子， 是黑暗幽冥、密云乌黑的日子，
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
是吹角呐喊的日子， 要攻击坚固城和高大的城楼。
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
我必使灾祸临到人身上， 使他们行走如同瞎眼的， 因为得罪了我。 他们的血必倒出如灰尘； 他们的肉必抛弃如粪土。
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy purging of all them that dwell in the land.
当耶和华发怒的日子， 他们的金银不能救他们； 他的忿怒如火必烧灭全地， 毁灭这地的一切居民，而且大大毁灭。
