< 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.
Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Zefanya bin Kusyi bin Gedalya bin Amarya bin Hizkia dalam zaman Yosia bin Amon, raja Yehuda.
2 Utterly I will bring to an end everything from on [the] surface of the ground [the] utterance of Yahweh.
"Aku akan menyapu bersih segala-galanya dari atas muka bumi, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
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.
Aku akan menyapu manusia dan hewan; Aku akan menyapu burung-burung di udara dan ikan-ikan di laut. Aku akan merebahkan orang-orang fasik dan akan melenyapkan manusia dari atas muka bumi, demikianlah firman TUHAN.
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.
Aku akan mengacungkan tangan-Ku terhadap Yehuda dan terhadap segenap penduduk Yerusalem. Aku akan melenyapkan dari tempat ini sisa-sisa Baal dan nama para imam berhala,
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.
juga mereka yang sujud menyembah di atas sotoh kepada tentara langit dan mereka yang menyembah dengan bersumpah setia kepada TUHAN, namun di samping itu bersumpah demi Dewa Milkom,
6 And those [who] have turned back from after Yahweh and [those] who not they have sought Yahweh and not they have sought him.
serta mereka yang berbalik dari pada TUHAN, yang tidak mencari TUHAN dan tidak menanyakan petunjuk-Nya."
7 Hush! from before [the] Lord Yahweh for [is] near [the] day of Yahweh for he has prepared Yahweh a sacrifice he has consecrated invited [ones] his.
Berdiam dirilah di hadapan Tuhan ALLAH! Sebab hari TUHAN sudah dekat. Sungguh TUHAN telah menyediakan perjamuan korban dan telah menguduskan para undangan-Nya.
8 And it will be on [the] day of [the] sacrifice of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on the princes and on [the] sons of the king and on all those [who] are clothed clothing foreign.
"Pada hari perjamuan korban TUHAN itu Aku akan menghukum para pemuka, para anak-anak raja dan semua orang yang memakai pakaian asing.
9 And I will visit [judgment] on every [one who] leaps over the threshold on the day that those [who] fill [the] house of lord their violence and deceit.
Aku akan menghukum pada hari itu semua orang yang melompati ambang pintu dan memenuhi istana tuan mereka dengan kekerasan dan penipuan.
10 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] sound of a cry of distress from [the] gate of the fish and wailing from the second district and a crashing great from the hills.
Maka pada hari itu, demikianlah firman TUHAN, akan terdengar teriakan dari Pintu Gerbang Ikan dan ratapan dari perkampungan baru dan bunyi keruntuhan hebat dari bukit-bukit.
11 Wail O inhabitants of the Mortar for it will be destroyed all [the] people of Canaan they will be cut off all [the] weighers of silver.
Merataplah, hai penduduk perkampungan Lumpang! Sebab telah habis segenap kaum pedagang, telah lenyap segenap penimbang perak.
12 And it will be at the time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and I will visit [judgment] on the people who are thickening on lees their who are saying in heart their not he will do good Yahweh and not he will do harm.
Pada waktu itu Aku akan menggeledah Yerusalem dengan memakai obor dan akan menghukum orang-orang yang telah mengental seperti anggur di atas endapannya dan yang berkata dalam hatinya: TUHAN tidak berbuat baik dan tidak berbuat jahat!
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.
Maka harta kekayaannya akan dirampas dan rumah-rumahnya akan menjadi sunyi sepi. Apabila mereka mendirikan rumah, mereka tidak akan mendiaminya; apabila mereka membuat kebun anggur, mereka tidak akan minum anggurnya."
14 [is] near [the] day of Yahweh great near and hurrying exceedingly [the] sound of [the] day of Yahweh bitter [is] shouting out there a warrior.
Sudah dekat hari TUHAN yang hebat itu, sudah dekat dan datang dengan cepat sekali! Dengar, hari TUHAN pahit, pahlawanpun akan menangis.
15 [will be] a day of Fury the day that a day of trouble and distress a day of devastation and desolation a day of darkness and gloom a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Hari kegemasan hari itu, hari kesusahan dan kesulitan, hari kemusnahan dan pemusnahan, hari kegelapan dan kesuraman, hari berawan dan kelam,
16 A day of trumpet and battle-cry on the cities fortified and on the corners high.
hari peniupan sangkakala dan pekik tempur terhadap kota-kota yang berkubu dan terhadap menara penjuru yang tinggi.
17 And I will cause distress to humankind and they will walk like blind [people] for to Yahweh they have sinned and it will be poured out blood their like dust and bowel[s] their like dung.
Aku akan menyusahkan manusia, sehingga mereka berjalan seperti orang buta, sebab mereka telah berdosa kepada TUHAN. Darah mereka akan tercurah seperti debu dan usus mereka seperti tahi.
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.
Mereka tidak dapat diselamatkan oleh perak atau emas mereka pada hari kegemasan TUHAN, dan seluruh bumi akan dimakan habis oleh api cemburu-Nya; sebab kebinasaan, malah kebinasaan dahsyat diadakan-Nya terhadap segenap penduduk bumi.
