Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.
Saml jer, saml jer, I Folk, som ej kender 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.
før I endnu er blevet som flyvende Avner, før HERRENS glødende Harme kommer over eder, før 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.
Søg HERREN, alle I ydmyge i Landet, som holder hans Bud, søg Retfærd, søg Ydmyghed! Maaske kan I skjule jer 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 ligge forladt og Askalon øde, Asdod drives bort ved Middag, Ekron udryddes.
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 bor ved Stranden, Kreternes Folk; HERRENS Ord over dig, Kana'an, Filisternes Land! Jeg gør dig til intet, saa ingen bor der.
6 And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.
Du skal blive til Græsmark for Hyrder, til Folde for Smaakvæg.
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 Stranden skal tilfalde Resten af Judas Hus; de skal græsse derpaa. Lejr skal de slaa ved Kvæld i Askalons Huse. Thi HERREN deres Gud ser til dem og vender deres Skæbne.
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 hørte Moabs Spot, Ammoniternes haanende Ord, med hvilke de spotted mit Folk, hovmoded sig over deres Land.
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, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Moab skal blive som Sodoma, Ammoniterne som Gomorra, Jord for Nælder, et Salthul, Ørken til evig Tid. Resten af mit Folk skal plyndre dem; hvad der levnes af mit Folk skal eje 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 times dem for deres Hovmod, fordi de haanede Hærskarers HERRES Folk og gjorde sig store over for det.
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.
Frygtelig er HERREN for dem; thi han udrydder alle Jordens Guder, og alle Hedningernes fjerne Strande skal tilbede ham, hver paa sit Sted.
12 Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.
Ogsaa I Ætiopere skal falde for HERRENS 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.
og han udrækker Haanden mod Nord og tilintetgør Assur, Nineve gør han til Ødemark, tørt som en Ørk;
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.
Hjorde skal lejre sig deri, hvert Slettens Dyr; paa dets Søjlehoveder sover Pelikan og Rørdrum, i Vinduet skriger Uglen, Ravnen paa Tærsklen.
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.
Det er den jublende By, som laa saa trygt, som sagde i sit Hjerte: »Jeg og ellers ingen.« Hvor er den dog blevet øde, et Raststed for Dyr! Enhver, som kommer forbi den, haaner med Fløjt og Haand.
