< Zephaniah 1 >

1 [the] word of Yahweh - which it came to Zephaniah [the] son of Cushi [the] son of Gedaliah [the] son of Amariah [the] son of Hezekiah in [the] days of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah.
當猶大王亞們的兒子約西亞在位的時候,耶和華的話臨到希西家的玄孫,亞瑪利雅的曾孫,基大利的孫子,古示的兒子西番雅。
2 Utterly I will bring to an end everything from on [the] surface of the ground [the] utterance of Yahweh.
耶和華說: 我必從地上除滅萬類。
3 I will bring to an end human being and animal I will bring to an end [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] fish of the sea and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked [people] and I will cut off humankind from on [the] surface of the ground [the] utterance of Yahweh.
我必除滅人和牲畜, 與空中的鳥、海裏的魚, 以及絆腳石和惡人; 我必將人從地上剪除。 這是耶和華說的。
4 And I will stretch out hand my on Judah and on all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and I will cut off from the place this [the] remnant of Baal [the] name of the pagan priests with the priests.
我必伸手攻擊猶大 和耶路撒冷的一切居民, 也必從這地方剪除所剩下的巴力, 並基瑪林的名和祭司,
5 And those [who] bow down on the roofs to [the] host of the heavens and those [who] bow down those [who] swear an oath to Yahweh and those [who] swear an oath by Milcom.
與那些在房頂上敬拜天上萬象的, 並那些敬拜耶和華指着他起誓, 又指着瑪勒堪起誓的,
6 And those [who] have turned back from after Yahweh and [those] who not they have sought Yahweh and not they have sought him.
與那些轉去不跟從耶和華的, 和不尋求耶和華也不訪問他的。

那時,我必用燈巡查耶路撒冷; 我必懲罰那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的; 他們心裏說: 耶和華必不降福,也不降禍。
13 And it will become wealth their plunder and houses their a desolation and they will build houses and not they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and not they will drink wine their.
他們的財寶必成為掠物; 他們的房屋必變為荒場。 他們必建造房屋,卻不得住在其內; 栽種葡萄園,卻不得喝所出的酒。

我必使災禍臨到人身上, 使他們行走如同瞎眼的, 因為得罪了我。 他們的血必倒出如灰塵; 他們的肉必拋棄如糞土。
18 Neither silver their nor gold their not it will be able to deliver them on [the] day of [the] fury of Yahweh and in [the] fire of jealousy his it will be consumed all the earth for complete destruction surely a terrible [thing] he will make with all [the] inhabitants of the earth.
當耶和華發怒的日子, 他們的金銀不能救他們; 他的忿怒如火必燒滅全地, 毀滅這地的一切居民,而且大大毀滅。
