Zephaniah 1
1 [I am] Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, and the great-grandson of Amariah, whose father was [King] Hezekiah. Yahweh gave this message to me during the time when [King] Amon’s son Josiah was the King of Judah.
Слово Господне, которое было к Софонии, сыну Хусия, сыну Годолии, сыну Амории, сыну Езекии, во дни Иосии, сына Амонова, царя Иудейского.
2 Yahweh says, “I will (sweep away/destroy) everything [HYP] that is on the earth.
Все истреблю с лица земли, говорит Господь:
3 I will sweep away people and animals. I will sweep away birds and fish. I will get rid of wicked people; there will be no more [wicked] [HYP] people on the earth.”
истреблю людей и скот, истреблю птиц небесных и рыб морских, и соблазны вместе с нечестивыми; истреблю людей с лица земли, говорит Господь.
4 “[These are some of the things that I will do]: I will punish the people who live in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah. I will destroy everything that has been used in the worship of Baal. I will cause [people] to no longer remember the names of the pagan priests or the [other] priests [who have turned away from me].
И простру руку Мою на Иудею и на всех жителей Иерусалима: истреблю с места сего остатки Ваала, имя жрецов со священниками,
5 [I will get rid of] those who go up on the roofs [of their houses] and worship the sun and moon and stars, those who claim that they worship me but [also] worship [their god] Molech.
и тех, которые на кровлях поклоняются воинству небесному, и тех поклоняющихся, которые клянутся Господом и клянутся царем своим,
6 I will get rid of all those who previously worshiped me but no longer do, those who no [longer] seek my [help or ask me to tell them what they should do.”]
и тех, которые отступили от Господа, не искали Господа и не вопрошали о Нем.
7 Be silent in front of Yahweh the Lord, because it will soon be the time/day when Yahweh [will judge and punish people]. Yahweh has prepared to get rid of [the people of Judah]; they will be like [MET] animals that are slaughtered for sacrifices, and he has chosen [their enemies] to be the ones who will get rid of them.
Умолкни пред лицoм Господа Бога! ибо близок день Господень: уже приготовил Господь жертвенное заклание, назначил, кого позвать.
8 Yahweh says, “On that day when I will get rid of [the people of Judah], [I will punish] their officials and the king’s sons, and [I will punish] all those who worship foreign gods [MTY].
И будет в день жертвы Господней: Я посещу князей и сыновей царя и всех, одевающихся в одежду иноплеменников;
9 I will punish those who [show that they revere their god Dagan] by avoiding stepping on the threshold [of his temple], and those who do violent things and tell lies in the temples of their gods.”
посещу в тот день всех, которые перепрыгивают через порог, которые дом Господа своего наполняют насилием и обманом.
10 Yahweh [also] says, “On that day, people will cry [out] at the Fish Gate [of Jerusalem]. People will wail in the newer part of the city, and [people will hear] a loud crash [of buildings collapsing] in the hills.
И будет в тот день, говорит Господь, вопль у ворот рыбных и рыдание у других ворот и великое разрушение на холмах.
11 [So, all you] people who live in the market area [of Jerusalem] should wail, because all those who sell goods and weigh out silver will be slaughtered.
Рыдайте, жители нижней части города, ибо исчезнет весь торговый народ и истреблены будут обремененные серебром.
12 [It will be as though] I will light lanterns to search in [dark places in] Jerusalem for those who have become very satisfied with their behavior and complacent [about their sins]. They think that [I], Yahweh, will do nothing to them, neither good things nor bad things.
И будет в то время: Я со светильником осмотрю Иерусалим и накажу тех, которые сидят на дрожжах своих и говорят в сердце своем: “не делает Господь ни добра, ни зла”.
13 [But I say that] their valuable possessions will be plundered/stolen [by their enemies], and their houses will be destroyed. They will build [new] homes, but they will not live in them; they will plant vineyards, but they will never drink [any] wine [made from grapes that grow there].”
И обратятся богатства их в добычу и домы их - в запустение; они построят домы, а жить в них не будут, насадят виноградники, а вина из них не будут пить.
14 It will soon be the day/time when Yahweh [will punish people]. It will be here quickly. It will be a time [when people cry] bitterly, a time when [even] brave soldiers will cry loudly.
Близок великий день Господа, близок, и очень поспешает: уже слышен голос дня Господня; горько возопиет тогда и самый храбрый!
15 It will be a time when [God shows that he is] very angry, a time when [people experience much] distress/suffering and trouble. [It will be] a time [when many things are] ruined and destroyed [DOU]. It will be a time when it is very gloomy and dark [DOU], when the clouds are very black.
День гнева - день сей, день скорби и тесноты, день опустошения и разорения, день тьмы и мрака, день облака и мглы,
16 It will be a time when [soldiers] will blow trumpets [to call other soldiers] to battle. [Your enemies] will tear down the walls around your cities and the high towers [at the corners of those walls].
день трубы и бранного крика против укрепленных городов и высоких башен.
17 Because you sinned against Yahweh, he will cause you to experience great distress; you will walk [around groping] like [SIM] blind people do. Your blood will flow [from your bodies] like [SIM] water, and your corpses will lie on the ground and rot [SIM].
И Я стесню людей, и они будут ходить как слепые, потому что они согрешили против Господа, и разметана будет кровь их, как прах, и плоть их - как помет.
18 At the time that [Yahweh shows that he] is very angry [with you], you will not be able to save yourselves by [giving] silver or gold [to your enemies]. Because Yahweh (is very jealous/does not want people to worship any other god), he will send a fire to burn up the entire world, and he will suddenly get rid of all the [wicked] people who live on the earth.
Ни серебро их, ни золото их не может спасти их в день гнева Господа, и огнем ревности Его пожрана будет вся эта земля, ибо истребление, и притом внезапное, совершит Он над всеми жителями земли.
