Zephaniah 3
1 Woe [to] the rebelling and defiling, The oppressing city!
Vai tai stūrgalvīgai un apgānītai un varmācīgai pilsētai!
2 She has not listened to the voice, She has not accepted instruction, In YHWH she has not trusted, She has not drawn near to her God.
Tā neklausa, ko saka, tā nepieņem mācību un nepaļaujas uz To Kungu, nenāk pie sava Dieva.
3 Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] wolves [as in] evening, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
Viņas lielkungi viņas vidū ir lauvas, kas rūc, viņas soģi ir kā vilki vakarā, kas nekā neatlicina līdz rītam.
4 Her prophets unstable—men of treachery, Her priests have defiled the sanctuary, They have violated the Law.
Viņas pravieši ir lielmutes, viltnieki, viņas priesteri sagāna svētumu un lauž bauslību.
5 YHWH [is] righteous in her midst, He does not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment He gives to the light, It has not been lacking, And the perverse do not know shame.
Tas Kungs ir taisns viņu vidū, Viņš nedara netaisnību, ik rītu Viņš nes gaismā Savu tiesu bez kavēšanās, tomēr nelieši neprot kauna.
6 “I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
Tautas Es esmu izdeldējis, viņu pilis ir postītas, viņu ielas Es esmu darījis tukšas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, viņu pilsētas ir postītas, palikušas bez cilvēka un bez iedzīvotāja.
7 I have said: Only, you fear Me, You accept instruction, And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all their doings.
Es sacīju: kaut tu Mani bītos un pieņemtu mācību, tad viņu mājas vieta netaptu izdeldēta pēc visa, ko Es par tiem esmu nospriedis. Bet tie ir ļaunu darījuši, ko vien darīdami
8 Therefore, wait for Me,” A declaration of YHWH, “For the day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All the heat of My anger, For by the fire of My jealousy all the earth is consumed.
Tādēļ jums būs Mani gaidīt, saka Tas Kungs, tai dienā, kad Es celšos uz laupījumu, jo Mana tiesa ir sapulcināt tautas, sakrāt valstis un pār tām izgāzt Savu bardzību un visu Savu dusmības karstumu, jo visa pasaule taps aprīta Mana karstuma ugunī.
9 For then I turn a pure lip to peoples, To call all of them by the Name of YHWH, To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
Tad Es tiem ļaudīm došu šķīstas lūpas, ka visiem būs piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu un Viņam kalpot vienprātībā.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, My supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Bring My present.
No viņpus Moru upēm Mani pielūdzēji Man nesīs upurus, Manu izkaisīto ļaužu draudze.
11 In that day you are not ashamed because of any of your actions, With which you have transgressed against Me, For then I turn aside from your midst The exulting ones of your excellence, And you are to be haughty no longer, In My holy mountain.
Tai dienā tu netapsi kaunā visu savu darbu dēļ, ar ko tu pret Mani noziegusies. Jo tad Es no tava vidus atņemšu tavus lepnos lielītājus, un tu vairs nebūsi lepna Manā svētā kalnā.
12 And I have left in your midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the Name of YHWH.
Un tavā vidū Es atlicināšu bēdu ļaudis un pazemīgos, tie paļausies uz Tā Kunga vārdu.
13 The remnant of Israel does no perversity, nor speaks lies, Nor is a deceitful tongue found in their mouth, For they have delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling.”
Israēla atlikušie nedarīs netaisnību un nerunās melus, un viņu mutē neatradīs viltus mēli, bet tie ganīsies un apgulsies, un neviens tos netraucēs.
14 Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Dzied priecīgi, Ciānas meita! Gavilē, Israēl! Priecājies un līksmojies no visas sirds, Jeruzālemes meita!
15 YHWH has turned aside your judgments, He has faced your enemy, The King of Israel, YHWH, [is] in your midst, You see evil no more.
Tas Kungs ir atņēmis tavu sodību, Viņš tavu ienaidnieku ir aizmēzis projām. Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš, ir tavā vidū, ļaunuma tu vairs neredzēsi.
16 In that day it is said to Jerusalem, “Do not fear, O Zion, Do not let your hands be feeble.
Tai dienā sacīs uz Jeruzālemi: nebīsties, Ciāna! Lai tavas rokas nenogurst.
17 Your God YHWH [is] in your midst, A mighty one [to] save, He rejoices over you with joy, He works in His love, He delights over you with singing.”
Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir tavā vidū, stiprs Pestītājs, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar līksmību, Viņš cietīs klusu savā mīlestībā, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar gavilēšanu.
18 “I have gathered My afflicted from the appointed place, They have been bearing reproach from you for her sake.
Es sapulcināšu tos, kas bija noskumuši svētku sapulces dēļ; tie tev pieder; negods tiem uzkrauts.
19 Behold, I am dealing with all afflicting you at that time, And I have saved the halting one, And I gather the ones driven out, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all the land of their shame.
Redzi, tanī laikā Es tā darīšu visiem taviem spaidītājiem, un Es pasargāšu klibo un sapulcināšu izdzīto, un tos iecelšu par teikšanu un par slavu ikvienā zemē, kur tie bija kaunā.
20 At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your captivity before your eyes,” said YHWH!
Tanī laikā Es jūs atvedīšu, un to brīdi Es jūs sapulcināšu. Jo Es jūs iecelšu par slavu un par teikšanu pie visām pasaules tautām, kad Es jūsu cietumu novērsīšu priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
