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.
アモンの子ユダの王ヨシヤの世にゼパニヤに臨めるヱホバの言 ゼパニヤはクシの子 クシはゲダリアの子 ゲダリアはアマリヤの子 アマリヤはヒゼキヤの子なり
2 “I will utterly destroy everything from off the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.
ヱホバ言たまふ われ地の面よりすべての物をはらひのぞかん
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.
われ人と獣畜をほろぼし空の鳥 海の魚および躓礙になる者と惡人とを滅さん 我かならず地の面より人をほろぼし絶ん ヱホバこれを言ふ
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,
我ユダとエルサレムの一切の居民との上に手を伸ん 我 この處よりかの漏のこれるバアルを絶ちケマリムの名を祭司と與に絶ち
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.
また屋上にて天の衆軍を拜む者ヱホバに誓を立てて拜みながらも亦おのれの王を指て誓ふことをする者
6 I will also cut off those who have turned away from following Yahweh, those who neither seek Yahweh nor ask for his guidance.”
ヱホバに悖り離るる者ヱホバを求めず尋ねざる者を絶ん
7 Be silent before the Lord Yahweh! For the day of Yahweh is near; Yahweh has prepared the sacrifice and set apart his guests.
汝 主ヱホバの前に默せよ そはヱホバの日近づきヱホバすでに犠牲を備へその招くべき者をさだめ給ひたればなり
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.
ヱホバの犠牲の日に我もろもろの牧伯と王の子等および凡て異邦の衣服を着る者を罰すべし
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.
その日には我また凡て閾をとびこえ強暴と詭譎をもて獲たる物をおのが主の家に滿す者等を罰せん
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.
ヱホバ曰たまはく その日には魚の門より號呼の聲おこり下邑より喚く聲おこり山々より大なる敗壞おこらん
11 Wail, inhabitants of the Market District, for all the merchants will be ruined; all those who weigh out silver will be cut off.
マクテシの民よ汝ら叫べ 其は商賣する民 悉くほろび銀を擔ふ者 悉く絶たればなり
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.'
その時はわれ燈をもちてエルサレムの中を尋ねん 而して滓の上に居着て心の中にヱホバは福をもなさず災をもなさずといふものを罰すべし
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.
かれらの財寳は掠められ彼らの家は荒果ん かれら家を造るともその中に住ことを得ず 葡萄を植るともその葡萄酒を飮ことを得ざるべし
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!
ヱホバの大なる日近づけり 近づきて速かに來る 聽よ是ヱホバの日なるぞ 彼處に勇士のいたく叫ぶあり
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.
その日は忿怒の日 患難および痛苦の日 荒かつ亡ぶるの日 黑暗またをぐらき日 濃き雲および黑雲の日
16 It will be a day of trumpets and alarms against the fortified cities and the high battlements.
箛をふき鯨聲をつくり堅き城を攻め高き櫓を攻るの日なり
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.
われ人々に患難を蒙らせて盲者のごとくに惑ひあるかしめん 彼らヱホバにむかひて罪を犯したればなり 彼らの血は流されて塵のごとくになり彼らの肉は捨られて糞土のごとくなるべし
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.”
かれらの銀も金もヱホバの烈き怒の日には彼らを救ふことあたはず 全地その嫉妬の火に呑るべし 即ちヱホバ地の民をことごとく滅したまはん 其事まことに速なるべし
