Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to! [the] filthy [one] and [the] defiled [one] the city which oppresses.
Teško nepokornom, okaljanom, nasilničkom gradu!
2 Not it has listened to a voice not it has accepted correction in Yahweh not it has trusted to God its not it has drawn near.
On nikada nije čuo poziva, nikada nije prihvatio pouku; Jahvi on se nikada nije povjerio; svome Bogu nije se nikada približio.
3 Officials its in midst its [are] lions roaring judges its [are] wolves of [the] evening [which] not they gnaw to the morning.
Njegovi su knezovi usred njega - lavovi koji riču; njegovi su suci - vuci večernji koji do jutra nisu kosti glodali;
4 Prophets its [are] insolent men of treacheri priests its they profane [the] sanctuary they do violence to [the] law.
proroci su njegovi - razmetljivci, puki lažljivci, svećenici njegovi skvrne Svetište, krše Zakon.
5 Yahweh [is] righteous in midst its not he does injustice in the morning in the morning judgment his he gives to the light not he fails and not [is] knowing an unrighteous person shame.
Usred njega, Jahve je pravedan - on ne čini nepravde; svako jutro iznosi svoju pravicu, u praskozorje ne izostaje; ali bezbožnik srama ne poznaje.
6 I have cut off nations they are desolate corners their I have made desolate streets their because not [one who] passes by they have been laid waste cities their because not anyone from not inhabitant.
“Uništio sam narode, razorena su kruništa kula njihovih, poharao sam njihove ulice: nema više prolaznika! Razoreni su njihovi gradovi: nema ljudi, nema stanovnika!
7 I said surely you will fear me you will accept correction and not it will be cut off dwelling its all that I have visited on it nevertheless they rose early they corrupted all practices their.
Govorio sam: 'Ti ćeš se mene ipak bojati, prigrlit ćeš pouku; u njihovim očima ne mogu nestati toliki moji pohodi.' Ali ne! - oni su žurno pokvarili sva djela svoja.
8 Therefore wait for me [the] utterance of Yahweh for [the] day to arise I for booty for judgment my [is] to gather nations to assemble I kingdoms to pour out on them indignation my all [the] burning of anger my for in [the] fire of jealousy my it will be consumed all the earth.
Zato mene čekajte - riječ je Jahvina - do dana kad ustanem kao tužilac; jer ja sam odredio da se sakupe narodi, da se saberu kraljevstva, da na vas gnjev svoj izlijem, svu gorčinu svoje srdžbe: u vatri moje ljubomore bit će sva zemlja sažgana.
9 For then I will restore to peoples a lip purified to call all of them on [the] name of Yahweh to serve him a shoulder one.
Dat ću narodima čiste usne, da svi mogu zazivati ime Jahvino i služiti mu jednodušno.
10 From [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush worshippers my [the] daughter of (scattered [ones] my *L(abh)*) they will bring! offering my.
S druge obale rijeka etiopskih prinosit će mi žrtvene darove moji štovaoci.
11 On the day that not you will be ashamed from all practices your which you have transgressed against me for then - I will remove from midst your [the] exultant [ones] of pride your and not you will repeat to be haughty again on [the] mountain of holiness my.
U onaj dan nećeš se sramiti svih svojih nedjela koja si protiv mene počinio, jer ću ukloniti iz tebe tvoje ohole hvalisavce; i nećeš se više šepiriti na Svetoj gori mojoj,
12 And I will leave in midst your a people afflicted and poor and they will take refuge in [the] name of Yahweh.
jer ću pustiti da u tebi opstane samo skroman i čedan narod, i u imenu Jahvinu tražit će okrilje
13 [the] remnant of Israel not they will do injustice and not they will speak falsehood and not it will be found in mouth their a tongue of deceitfulness for they they will graze and they will lie down and there not [will be one who] disturbs [them].
Ostatak Izraelov. Oni neće više činiti nepravdu, neće više govoriti laži; u njihovim ustima neće se više naći jezik prijevarni. Moći će pasti i odmarati se, i nitko im neće smetati.”
14 Shout for joy O daughter of Zion shout O Israel rejoice and exult with all [the] heart O daughter of Jerusalem.
Klikći od radosti, Kćeri sionska, viči od veselja, Izraele! Veseli se i raduj se iz sveg srca, Kćeri jeruzalemska!
15 He has removed Yahweh judgments your he has cleared away enemy your [the] king of Israel - Yahweh [is] in midst your not (you will fear *L(V)*) evil again.
Jahve te riješio tvoje osude, neprijatelje tvoje uklonio! Jahve, kralj Izraelov, u sredini je tvojoj! Ne boj se više zla!
16 On the day that it will be said to Jerusalem may not you be afraid O Zion may not they drop hands your.
U onaj dan reći će se Jeruzalemu: “Ne boj se, Sione! Neka ti ne klonu ruke!
17 Yahweh God your [is] in midst your a warrior [who] he will give victory he will rejoice on you with joy he will be silent in love his he will be glad on you with a shout of joy.
Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, silni spasitelj! On će se radovati tebi pun veselja, obnovit će ti svoju ljubav, kliktat će nad tobom radosno
18 [those] grieved From an appointed feast I will gather from you they were tribute on it reproach.
kao u dan svečani. Odvratio sam od tebe nevolju da na sebi više ne nosiš sramotu.
19 Here I [am] about to deal with all [those who] afflicted you at the time that and I will save the lame [person] and the outcast [person] I will gather and I will make them praise and a name [was] in all the earth shame their.
Evo svladavam sve tvoje tlačitelje. U ono vrijeme izbavit ću sve hrome, sabrat ću prognane, pribavit im hvalu i diku po svoj zemlji gdje ih sramota bijaše dopala.
20 At the time that I will bring you and at the time to gather I you for I will make you a name and praise among all [the] peoples of the earth when turn back I captiviti your to eyes your he says Yahweh.
U ono vrijeme ja ću vas dovesti, u ono vrijeme ja ću vas sabrati! Tada ću vam dati hvalu i diku među narodima zemlje, kad okrenem vašu sudbinu pred vašim očima” - govori Jahve.
