Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.
Tager eder sammen, og samler eder, du Folk, som ikke følte Skam!
2 Before brings forth a decree like chaff it has passed away a day before - not it will come on you [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh before not it will come on you [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.
førend Beslutningen vorder udført — som Avner farer Dagen frem — førend Herrens brændende Vrede kommer over eder, førend Herrens Vredes Dag kommer over eder!
3 Seek Yahweh O all [the] humble [people] of the land who judgment his they have done seek righteousness seek humility perhaps you will be hidden on [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.
Søger Herren, alle I sagtmodige i Landet, som holde hans Lov! søger Retfærdighed, søger Sagtmodighed, maaske kunne I blive skjulte paa Herrens Vredes Dag!
4 For Gaza abandoned it will be and Ashkelon [will become] a desolation Ashdod at the noontide people will drive out it and Ekron it will be plucked up.
Thi Gaza skal blive forladt, og Askalon skal blive til Øde; Asdod skal man uddrive om Middagen, og Ekron skal oprykkes med Rod.
5 Woe to! [the] inhabitants of [the] region of the sea [the] nation of [the] Kerethites [the] word of Yahweh [is] on you O Canaan [the] land of [the] Philistines and I will destroy you from not inhabitant.
Ve dem, som bebo Egnen ved Havet, Kreternes Folk! Herrens Ord er over eder, du Kanaan, Filisternes Land! og jeg vil ødelægge dig, at ingen skal bo der.
6 And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.
Og Egnen ved Havet skal være til Boliger, som Hyrder udgrave sig, og til Faarefolde.
7 And it will belong [the] region to [the] remnant of [the] house of Judah on them they will graze! in [the] houses of Ashkelon in the evening they will lie down! for he will visit them Yahweh God their and he will turn back (captivity their. *Q(k)*)
Og det skal blive en Egn for de overblevne af Judas Hus, paa den skulle de græsse; i Askalons Huse skulle de hvile om Aftenen; thi Herren, deres Gud, skal besøge dem og omvende deres Fangenskab.
8 I have heard [the] reproach of Moab and [the] reviling words of [the] people of Ammon who they have reproached people my and they have magnified themselves on territory their.
Jeg har hørt Moabs Spot og Ammons Børns Forhaanelser, med hvilke de forhaanede mit Folk og ophøjede sig storlig imod dets Landemærke.
9 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel that Moab like Sodom it will be and [the] people of Ammon like Gomorrah a place possessed of nettle[s] and a pit of salt and a waste until perpetuity [the] remnant of people my they will plunder them and [the] rest ofK: (nation my *Q(K)*) they will take possession of them.
Derfor, saa sandt jeg lever, siger den Herre Zebaoth, Israels Gud: Moab skal blive som Sodoma og Ammons Børn som Gomorra, et Hjem for Nælder og en Saltgrav og en Ørk til evig Tid; de overblevne af mit Folk skulle plyndre dem, og Levningen af mit Folk skal arve dem.
10 This [will belong] to them in place of pride their for they reproached and they magnified themselves on [the] people of Yahweh of hosts.
Dette skal ske dem for deres Hovmods Skyld, fordi de haanede, saa at de ophøjede sig storlig over den Herre Zebaoths Folk.
11 [will be] awesome Yahweh on them if he will make lean all [the] gods of the earth so they may bow down to him everyone from own place his all [the] islands of the nations.
Forfærdelig skal Herren være over dem, thi han skal lade alle Jordens Guder svinde hen; og de skulle tilbede ham, enhver fra sit Sted, alle Hedningernes Øer.
12 Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.
Ogsaa I, Morianer! skulle være iblandt dem, som ere ihjelslagne ved mit Sværd.
13 And he may stretch out hand his on [the] north so he may destroy Assyria and he may make Nineveh a waste a dry region like the wilderness.
Han skal og udrække sin Haand imod Norden og ødelægge Assyrien og gøre Ninive til et Øde, til et tørt Land som Ørkenen.
14 And they will lie down in [the] midst of it herds every animal of a nation both desert owl as well as hedgehog on capitals its they will spend [the] night a sound it will sing in the window desolation [will be] on the threshold for cedar-work he will lay bare.
Og Hjorde skulle ligge midt derudi, alle Slags vilde Dyr i Flok, baade Rørdrum og Pindsvin skulle tilbringe Natten paa dens Søjlehoveder; en Lyd af syngende høres i Vindueshullerne, Grus ligger over Dørtærskelen; thi dens Cederpanel har han blottet.
15 This [is] the city jubilant which dwells to security which says in heart its I and only I [am] yet how! - it has become a waste a resting place for animal[s] every [one who] passes by at it he will hiss he will shake hand his.
Dette er den jublende Stad, som boede tryggelig, som sagde i sit Hjerte: Jeg, og ingen uden jeg; hvorledes er den bleven til et Øde, et Leje for vilde Dyr? hver, som gaar forbi den, vil spotte og ryste sin Haand.
