Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to! [the] filthy [one] and [the] defiled [one] the city which oppresses.
Ve den genstridige, urene, grumme By!
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.
Den hører ej HERRENs Røst, tager ikke mod Tugt. På HERREN stoler den ej, holder sig ej til Gud.
3 Officials its in midst its [are] lions roaring judges its [are] wolves of [the] evening [which] not they gnaw to the morning.
Fyrsterne i dens Midte er brølende Løver, dens dommere som Ulve ved Kvæld, der ej levner til Morgen;
4 Prophets its [are] insolent men of treacheri priests its they profane [the] sanctuary they do violence to [the] law.
Skrydere er dens Profeter, troløse Mænd, dens Præster vanærer det hellige, øver Vold mod Loven.
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.
HERREN er retfærdig i dens Midte, gør ikke Uret; hver Morgen gør han Ret, ej svigte Lyset, til Uret kender han ikke.
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.
I Stridslarm udrydded jeg Folk, deres Tinder er øde, deres Gader lagde jeg øde, så ingen går der, deres Byer er hærget, mennesketomme, ingen bor der.
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.
Jeg tænkte: "Den må dog frygte mig, tage mod Tugt; intet af alt, hvad jeg bød, vil gå den ad Glemme." Men des tidligere var de i Gang med al deres Ondskab.
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.
Bi derfor på mig, så lyder det fra HERREN, på Dagen, jeg fremstår som Vidne! Thi min Ret er at sanke Folkene, samle Rigerne og udøse over dem min Vrede, al min Harmglød; thi af min Nidkærheds Ild skal al Jorden fortæres.
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.
Thi da vil jeg give Folkene rene Læber, så de alle påkalder HERREN og tjener ham endrægtigt.
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.
Fra Landet hinsides Floden bringer de mig Bukke, fra Patros kommer de med Afgrødeoffer til mig.
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.
Hin bag skal du ikke beskæmmes i al din tid, med hvilken du synded mod mig; thi da vil jeg fjerne fra dig de jublende stolte, du skal ikke hovmode dig mer på mit hellige Bjerg.
12 And I will leave in midst your a people afflicted and poor and they will take refuge in [the] name of Yahweh.
Jeg levner i din Midte et Folk, som er ydmygt og ringe, og Israels Rest skal lide på HERRENs Navn.
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].
Uret øver de ikke og taler ej Løgn, der findes ej i deres Mund en svigefuld Tunge; thi de skal græsse og raste uden at skræmmes.
14 Shout for joy O daughter of Zion shout O Israel rejoice and exult with all [the] heart O daughter of Jerusalem.
Jubl, du Zions Datter, Israel, råb højt, glæd dig og fryd dig af hele dit Hjerte, Jerusalems Datter!
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.
HERREN har slettet din Dom, bortdrevet dine Fjender. I din Midte er Israels Konge, HERREN, ej mere skuer du ondt.
16 On the day that it will be said to Jerusalem may not you be afraid O Zion may not they drop hands your.
På hin Dag skal der siges til Jerusalem: Frygt ikke, Zion, lad ikke Hænderne synke!
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.
I dig er HERREN din Gud, en Helt, som frelser. Han glæder sig over dig med Fryd, han tier i sin Kærlighed, han fryder sig over dig med Jubel som på Festens Dag;
18 [those] grieved From an appointed feast I will gather from you they were tribute on it reproach.
den Tid er omme, da du bærer på Skam over ham.
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.
Se, på hin Tid gør jeg Ende på alle, som kuede dig, og jeg frelser, hvad der halter, og sanker det spredte og giver dem Ære og Ry på hele Jorden.
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.
På hin Tid bringer jeg eder hjem, og på hin Tid samler jeg eder; thi jeg giver eder Ry og Ære blandt alle Jordens Folkeslag, når jeg vender eders Skæbne for eders Øjne, siger HERREN.
