Zephaniah 1
1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.
Riječ Jahvina upućena Sefaniji, sinu Kušija, sina Gedalijina, sina Amarjina, sina Ezekijina, u vrijeme Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja judejskoga.
2 “I will utterly destroy everything from off the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Da, sve ću zbrisati s lica zemlje” - riječ je Jahvina!
3 I will destroy man and beast; I will destroy the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, the ruins along with the wicked. For I will cut off man from the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.
“Izbrisat ću ljude i zvijeri, ptice nebeske i ribe morske, učinit ću da padnu bezbožnici, istrijebit ću ljude s lica zemlje” - riječ je Jahvina!
4 I will reach out with my hand over Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every remnant of Baal from this place and the names of the idolatrous people among the priests,
“Podignut ću ruku na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jeruzalema i istrijebit ću iz ovoga mjesta ostatak Baalov, ime služitelja idolskih sa svećenicima njegovim;
5 the people who on the housetops worship the heavenly bodies, and the people who worship and swear to Yahweh but who also swear by their king.
one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj, one koji se klanjaju pred Jahvom a zaklinju se Milkomom;
6 I will also cut off those who have turned away from following Yahweh, those who neither seek Yahweh nor ask for his guidance.”
one koji su se odmetnuli od Jahve, koji ne traže Jahvu i nimalo za nj ne mare.”
7 Be silent before the Lord Yahweh! For the day of Yahweh is near; Yahweh has prepared the sacrifice and set apart his guests.
Tišina pred Jahvom Gospodom, jer je dan Jahvin blizu! Da, Jahve je prigotovio žrtvu, posvetio je svoje uzvanike.
8 “It will come about on the day of Yahweh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes and the king's sons, and everyone dressed in foreign clothes.
“U dan žrtve Jahvine, kaznit ću knezove, sinove kraljeve, i sve koji se oblače na način tuđinski.
9 On that day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, those who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.
Kaznit ću u taj dan sve koji preko praga poskakuju, koji Dom Gospodara svojega pune nasiljem i prijevarom.”
10 So it will be on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration— that a cry of distress will come from the Fish Gate, wailing from the Second District, and a great crashing sound from the hills.
“U onaj dan” - riječ je Jahvina - “vapaj će se podići od Ribljih vrata, urlici iz novog dijela grada, silna lomljavina sa brežuljaka.
11 Wail, inhabitants of the Market District, for all the merchants will be ruined; all those who weigh out silver will be cut off.
Kukajte, stanovnici makteški, jer je satrt sav narod kanaanski, zbrisani su svi mjerači srebra.
12 It will come about at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who have settled into their wine and say in their heart, 'Yahweh will not do anything, either good or evil.'
I u to vrijeme pretražit ću Jeruzalem sa zubljama i pohodit ću kaznom ljude koji miruju na svojoj vinskoj droždini i u svom srcu govore: 'Jahve ne može učiniti ni dobro ni zlo.'”
13 Their wealth will become plunder, and their houses will be an abandoned devastation! They will build houses but not live in them, and plant vineyards but not drink their wine.
Blago njihovo bit će prepušteno pljački, njihove kuće pustošenju. Oni su gradili kuće - neće u njima stanovati; sadili su vinograde - iz njih vina neće piti.
14 The great day of Yahweh is near, near and hurrying quickly! The sound of the day of Yahweh will be that of a warrior crying bitterly!
Blizu je dan Jahvin, veliki! Blizu je i žurno dolazi! Gorak je glas dana Jahvina: tada će i junak zajaukati.
15 That day will be a day of fury, a day of distress and anguish, a day of storm and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
Dan gnjeva, onaj dan! Dan tjeskobe i nevolje! Dan užasa i pustošenja! Dan pomrčine i naoblake! Dan tmina i magluština!
16 It will be a day of trumpets and alarms against the fortified cities and the high battlements.
Dan trubljavine i bojne vike na gradove utvrđene i na visoka kruništa.
17 For I will bring distress upon mankind, so that they will walk about like blind men since they have sinned against Yahweh. Their blood will be poured out like dust, and their inner parts like dung.
“Prepustit ću ljude nevoljama i vrludat će kao slijepci (jer su protiv Jahve sagriješili), krv će se njihova prosuti kao prašina, njihova trupla bit će bačena kao smeće.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of Yahweh's fury. In the fire of his jealousy the whole earth will be consumed, for he will bring a complete, a terrible end of all the inhabitants of the earth.”
Ni njihovo srebro ni njihovo zlato neće ih spasiti.” U dan gnjeva Jahvina oganj njegove revnosti svu će zemlju sažeći. Jer on će uništiti, zatrti sve stanovnike zemlje.
