Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city.
vae provocatrix et redempta civitas columba
2 She did not obey the voice. She did not receive correction. She did not trust in the LORD. She did not draw near to her God.
non audivit vocem et non suscepit disciplinam in Domino non est confisa ad Deum suum non adpropiavit
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
principes eius in medio eius quasi leones rugientes iudices eius lupi vespere non relinquebant in mane
4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
prophetae eius vesani viri infideles sacerdotes eius polluerunt sanctum iniuste egerunt contra legem
5 The LORD, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn't fail, but the unjust know no shame.
Dominus iustus in medio eius non faciet iniquitatem mane mane iudicium suum dabit in luce et non abscondetur nescivit autem iniquus confusionem
6 I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
disperdi gentes et dissipati sunt anguli earum desertas feci vias eorum dum non est qui transeat desolatae sunt civitates eorum non remanente viro nec ullo habitatore
7 I said, "Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won't be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her." But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
dixi attamen timebis me suscipies disciplinam et non peribit habitaculum eius propter omnia in quibus visitavi eam verumtamen diluculo surgentes corruperunt omnes cogitationes suas
8 "Therefore wait for me," says the LORD, "until the day that I rise up as a witness. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
quapropter expecta me dicit Dominus in die resurrectionis meae in futurum quia iudicium meum ut congregem gentes et colligam regna ut effundam super eas indignationem meam omnem iram furoris mei in igne enim zeli mei devorabitur omnis terra
9 For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of the LORD, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
quia tunc reddam populis labium electum ut vocent omnes in nomine Domini et serviant ei umero uno
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
ultra flumina Aethiopiae inde supplices mei filii dispersorum meorum deferent munus mihi
11 In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
in die illa non confunderis super cunctis adinventionibus tuis quibus praevaricata es in me quia tunc auferam de medio tui magniloquos superbiae tuae et non adicies exaltari amplius in monte sancto meo
12 But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the name of the LORD.
et derelinquam in medio tui populum pauperem et egenum et sperabunt in nomine Domini
13 The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid."
reliquiae Israhel non facient iniquitatem nec loquentur mendacium et non invenietur in ore eorum lingua dolosa quoniam ipsi pascentur et accubabunt et non erit qui exterreat
14 Sing, daughter of Zion. Shout, Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
lauda filia Sion iubilate Israhel laetare et exulta in omni corde filia Hierusalem
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
abstulit Dominus iudicium tuum avertit inimicos tuos rex Israhel Dominus in medio tui non timebis malum ultra
16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, "Do not be afraid, Zion. Do not let your hands be weak."
in die illa dicetur Hierusalem noli timere Sion non dissolvantur manus tuae
17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you with singing.
Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui Fortis ipse salvabit gaudebit super te in laetitia silebit in dilectione tua exultabit super te in laude
18 I will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
nugas qui a lege recesserant congregabo quia ex te erant ut non ultra habeas super eis obprobrium
19 Look, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.
ecce ego interficiam omnes qui adflixerunt te in tempore illo et salvabo claudicantem et eam quae eiecta fuerat congregabo et ponam eos in laudem et in nomen in omni terra confusionis eorum
20 At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the LORD.
in tempore illo quo adducam vos et in tempore quo congregabo vos dabo enim vos in nomen et in laudem omnibus populis terrae cum convertero captivitatem vestram coram oculis vestris dicit Dominus
