Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
Pārbaudaties paši un izmeklējaties, jūs bezkaunīgie ļaudis.
2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD comes on you, before the day of the LORD's anger comes on you.
Pirms spriedums nenotiek, - kā pelavas skrien diena, - pirms Tā Kunga bardzības karstums jums neuziet, pirms Tā Kunga dusmības diena jums neuznāk.
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of the LORD's anger.
Meklējiet To Kungu, visi bēdu ļaudis virs zemes, kas dariet viņa tiesu, meklējiet taisnību, meklējiet pazemību! Vai jūs, kas zin, netapsiet izglābti Tā Kunga bardzības dienā.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
Jo Gaca taps atstāta un Askalona par posta vietu, Ašdoda dienas vidū taps aizdzīta, un Ekrone taps izsakņota.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites. The word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.
Ak vai, tiem, kas dzīvo gar jūru, Krietu tautai. Tā Kunga vārds nāks pār jums, Kanaāna, Fīlistu zeme! Un Es tevi izdeldēšu, ka tur vairs nebūs iedzīvotāju.
6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
Un jūrmalas tiesa paliks par atmatām, ganu alām un avju laidariem.
7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for the LORD, their God, will visit them, and restore them.
Un tā būs daļa Jūda nama atlikušiem, kur ganīt. Vakaros tie apgulsies Askalonas namos, kad Tas Kungs, viņu Dievs, tos piemeklēs, un būs novērsis viņu cietumu.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the people of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Moaba mēdīšanu Es esmu dzirdējis, un Amona bērnu lamāšanu, ar ko tie mēdījuši Manus ļaudis un lielījušies pret viņu robežām.
9 Therefore as I live, says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the people of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
Tādēļ tik tiešām ka Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Moabs būs kā Sodoma un Amona bērni kā Gomora, nātru krūms un sāls bedre un posta vieta mūžīgi. Manu ļaužu atlikušie tos aplaupīs, un Manas tautas atlikums tos iemantos.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Tas viņiem notiks par viņu lepnību, jo tie ir mēdījuši un lielījušies pret Tā Kunga Cebaot ļaudīm.
11 The LORD will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
Tas Kungs būs briesmīgs pret viņiem, jo Viņš izdeldēs visus pasaules dievus, un ikviens no savas vietas Viņu pielūgs, visas pagānu salas.
12 You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
Arī jūs, Moru(Etiopiešu) ļaudis, tapsiet nokauti caur Manu zobenu.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
Un Viņš izstieps Savu roku pret ziemeli un izdeldēs Asuru, un darīs Ninivi par postažu, tik sausu kā tuksnesi.
14 Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
Un viņas vidū ganāmi pulki apgulsies, visādi zvēri, dumpis un ezis mājos viņu granātābolu dārzos, viņu balsis dziedās logos, gruveši būs uz sliekšņiem, jo ciedra galdi taps noplēsti.
15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in. Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
Šī ir tā pilsēta, kas tā priecājās, kas droši dzīvo, kas savā sirdī saka: es, un cita neviena. Kā tā ir palikusi par postažu, zvēriem par migu! Visi, kas tai iet garām, svilpo un met ar roku.
