Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city.
Vai tai stūrgalvīgai un apgānītai un varmācīgai pilsētai!
2 She did not obey the voice. She did not receive correction. She did not trust in YHWH. She did not draw near to her God.
Tā neklausa, ko saka, tā nepieņem mācību un nepaļaujas uz To Kungu, nenāk pie sava Dieva.
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
Viņas lielkungi viņas vidū ir lauvas, kas rūc, viņas soģi ir kā vilki vakarā, kas nekā neatlicina līdz rītam.
4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
Viņas pravieši ir lielmutes, viltnieki, viņas priesteri sagāna svētumu un lauž bauslību.
5 YHWH, 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.
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. 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.
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 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.
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," says YHWH, "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.
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 will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of YHWH, to serve him shoulder to 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 worshipers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my offering.
No viņpus Moru upēm Mani pielūdzēji Man nesīs upurus, Manu izkaisīto ļaužu draudze.
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.
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 But I will leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge 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 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."
Israēla atlikušie nedarīs netaisnību un nerunās melus, un viņu mutē neatradīs viltus mēli, bet tie ganīsies un apgulsies, un neviens tos netraucēs.
14 Sing, daughter of Zion. Shout, Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
Dzied priecīgi, Ciānas meita! Gavilē, Israēl! Priecājies un līksmojies no visas sirds, Jeruzālemes meita!
15 YHWH has taken away your judgments. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, YHWH, is in the midst of you. You will not be afraid of evil any 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 will be said to Jerusalem, "Do not be afraid, Zion. Do not let your hands be weak."
Tai dienā sacīs uz Jeruzālemi: nebīsties, Ciāna! Lai tavas rokas nenogurst.
17 YHWH 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.
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 will remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
Es sapulcināšu tos, kas bija noskumuši svētku sapulces dēļ; tie tev pieder; negods tiem uzkrauts.
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.
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 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 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.
