Zephaniah 2
1 You people [of Judah] who ought to be ashamed, gather together [DOU].
Соберитеся и свяжитеся, язык ненаказанный,
2 Yahweh is extremely angry with you, [so gather together now], before it is time for him to punish [MTY] you and blow you away like [SIM] [the wind blows away] chaff.
прежде неже быти вам якоже цвету мимоходящу в день, прежде неже приити на вы гневу Господню, прежде неже приити на вы дню ярости Господни.
3 All you people in Judah who are humble, worship Yahweh, and obey what he has commanded. Try to do what is right and to be humble. [If you do that], perhaps Yahweh will protect/spare you on the day when he punishes [MTY] people.
Взыщите Господа, вси смиреннии земли, суд содевайте и правды взыщите, (взыщите кротости) и отвещайте я, яко да покрыетеся в день гнева Господня.
4 [When Yahweh punishes Philistia], Gaza and Ashkelon [cities] will be deserted/abandoned. Ashdod [city] will be attacked and the people expelled at noon [when people are resting]; the [people of Ekron city] will [also] be driven out.
Зане Газа расхищена будет, и Аскалон во изчезновение будет: и Азот в полудни отвержется, и Аккарон искоренится.
5 And terrible things will happen to you people of Philistia who live near the sea, because Yahweh has decided [MTY] that he will punish [MTY] you, [also]. He will get rid of all of you; not one person will (survive/remain alive).
Горе живущым на ужи морстем, пришелцы Критстии: слово Господне на вас, Ханаане, земле иноплеменников, и погублю вы от жилища:
6 The land [of Philistia] near the sea will become a pasture, a place for shepherds and their sheep pens.
и будет Крит пажить стадам и ограда овцам,
7 The people of Judah who (survive/are still alive) will possess that land. At night they will sleep in the [deserted] houses in Ashkelon. Yahweh will take care of them; he will enable them to prosper again.
и будет уже морское оставшым дому Иудина: на них пожируют в домех Аскалоних, к вечеру витати имут от лица сынов Иудиных, яко присети их Господь Бог их и возврати плен их.
8 The Commander of the armies of angels, the God to whom [we] Israeli people [belong], says [this]: “I have heard the people of Moab and Ammon when they insulted [DOU] my people, and when they said that they would conquer my people’s country.
Слышах поношения Моавля и укоризны сынов Аммоних, о нихже поношаху людем Моим и величахуся на пределы Моя.
9 So now, [as surely] as I live, [I will destroy] Moab and Ammon like [SIM] [I destroyed] Gomorrah [city]. Their land will be a place were there are nettles and salt pits; it will be ruined forever. My Israeli people who survive will take away all their valuable possessions and [also] occupy their land.”
Сего ради живу Аз, глаголет Господь Сил, Бог Израилев: зане Моав яко Содома будет, и сынове Аммони яко Гоморра, и Дамаск оставлен яко стог гуменный и разорен во век: и прочии людий Моих расхитят я, и оставшии языка Моего наследят их.
10 The people of Moab and Ammon will get what they deserve for being proud, because they made fun of the people who belong to the Commander of the armies of angels.
Сие им за досаждение их, зане поносиша и возвеличишася на люди Господа Вседержителя.
11 Yahweh will cause them to be terrified [when] he destroys all the gods of their countries. Then [even the people who live on] islands throughout the world will worship Yahweh, each in their own countries.
Явится Господь на них и потребит вся боги языков земных: и поклонятся Ему кийждо от места своего, вси острови язычестии.
12 [Yahweh says that] he will also slaughter the people of Ethiopia.
И вы, Мурини, язвени оружием Моим будете.
13 Yahweh will punish [IDM] and destroy Assyria, [that land] northeast of us. He will cause [its capital] Nineveh to become ruined and deserted, a place that will be as dry as the desert.
И прострет руку Свою на север и погубит Ассирианина, и положит Ниневию во изчезновение безводно, яко пустыню:
14 [Flocks of sheep and] herds [of cattle] and many kinds of wild animals will lie down there. Owls and crows will sit on the columns/pillars [of the destroyed buildings], and they will (hoot/cry out) through the windows. There will be rubble in the doorways, and the [valuable] cedar boards will be taken [from the ruined houses].
и пожируют посреде ея стада и вси зверие земнии, и хамелеоны и ежеве во гнездах ея вогнездятся: и зверие возвыют в разселинах ея, и вранове во вратех ея, зане кедр возношение ея.
15 [The people of] Nineveh were [previously] happy and proud, thinking that they were very safe. They were [always] saying, “Our city is the greatest city; there is no city as great as ours!” But now it will become a ruins, a place where wild animals make their dens. And everyone who passes by there will hiss [and scorn/ridicule that city], and shake their fists [to show that they detest that city very much].
Сей град презорливый, живяй на уповании, глаголяй в сердцы своем: аз есмь, и несть по мне еще: како бысть во изчезновение, пажить зверем? Всяк мимоходяй сквозе его позвиждет и воздвигнет руце свои.
