< Zephaniah 3 >

1 Wo! thou citee, terrere to wraththe, and bouyt ayen a culuer.
这悖逆、污秽、欺压的城有祸了!
2 It herde not the vois of the Lord, and resseyuede not techyng, ether chastisyng; it tristenyde not in the Lord, it neiyide not to her God.
她不听从命令,不领受训诲, 不倚靠耶和华, 不亲近她的 神。
3 Princes therof in myddil therof weren as liouns rorynge; iugis therof weren wolues, in the euentid thei leften not in to morewe.
她中间的首领是咆哮的狮子; 她的审判官是晚上的豺狼, 一点食物也不留到早晨。
4 Profetis therof weren woode, vnfeithful men; prestis therof defouliden hooli thing, thei diden vniustli ayens the lawe.
她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人; 她的祭司亵渎圣所, 强解律法。
5 The Lord iust in the myddil therof, schal not do wickidnesse; erli, erli he schal yyue his dom in liyt, and it schal not be hid; forsothe the wickid puple knew not confusioun.
耶和华在她中间是公义的, 断不做非义的事, 每早晨显明他的公义,无日不然; 只是不义的人不知羞耻。
6 Y loste folkis, and the corneris of hem ben distried; Y made the weies of hem desert, while there is not that schal passe. The citees of hem ben desolat, for a man is not left, nether ony dwellere.
我—耶和华已经除灭列国的民; 他们的城楼毁坏。 我使他们的街道荒凉,以致无人经过; 他们的城邑毁灭,以致无人, 也无居民。
7 Y seide, Netheles thou schalt drede me, thou schalt resseyue techyng; and the dwellyng place therof schal not perische, for alle thingis in whiche Y visitide it; netheles ful eerli thei risynge han corrupt alle her thouytis.
我说:你只要敬畏我,领受训诲; 如此,你的住处不致照我所拟定的除灭。 只是你们从早起来就在一切事上败坏自己。
8 Wherfor abide thou me, seith the Lord, in the dai of my rysyng ayen in to comynge. For my doom is, that Y gadere folkis, and Y schal gadere rewmes; and Y schal schede out on hem myn indignacioun, and al wraththe of my strong veniaunce; for in fier of my feruour al erthe schal be deuourid.
耶和华说:你们要等候我, 直到我兴起掳掠的日子; 因为我已定意招聚列国,聚集列邦, 将我的恼怒—就是我的烈怒都倾在她们身上。 我的忿怒如火,必烧灭全地。
9 For thanne Y schal yelde to puplis a chosun lippe, that alle clepe inwardli in the name of the Lord, and serue to hym with o schuldre.
那时,我必使万民用清洁的言语 好求告我—耶和华的名, 同心合意地事奉我。
10 Ouer the floodis of Ethiopie, fro thens my bisecheris, the sones of my scaterid men, schulen brynge yifte to me.
祈祷我的,就是我所分散的民, 必从古实河外来,给我献供物。
11 In that day thou schalt not be confoundid on alle thi fyndyngis, in whiche thou trespassidist ayens me; for thanne Y schal take awei fro the myddil of thee grete spekeris of thi pride, and thou schalt no more put to, for to be enhaunsid in myn hooli hil.
当那日,你必不因你一切得罪我的事自觉羞愧; 因为那时我必从你中间除掉矜夸高傲之辈, 你也不再于我的圣山狂傲。
12 And Y schal leeue in the myddil of thee a pore puple and nedi; and thei schulen hope in the name of the Lord.
我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民; 他们必投靠我—耶和华的名。
13 The relifs of Israel schulen not do wickidnesse, nether schulen speke leesyng, and a gileful tunge schal not be foundun in the mouth of hem; for thei schulen be fed, and schulen reste, and ther schal not be that schal make aferd.
以色列所剩下的人必不作罪孽, 不说谎言,口中也没有诡诈的舌头; 而且吃喝躺卧,无人惊吓。
14 These thingis seith the Lord, Douyter of Sion, herie thou hertli, synge thou, Israel; be thou glad, and make thou ioie withoutforth in al thin herte, thou douyter of Jerusalem.
锡安的民哪,应当歌唱! 以色列啊,应当欢呼! 耶路撒冷的民哪,应当满心欢喜快乐!
15 The Lord hath take a wei thi dom, hath turned a wey thin enemyes; the kyng of Israel the Lord is in myddil of thee, thou schalt no more drede yuel.
耶和华已经除去你的刑罚, 赶出你的仇敌。 以色列的王—耶和华在你中间; 你必不再惧怕灾祸。
16 In that dai it schal be seid, Jerusalem, nyle thou drede; Sion, thin hondis be not clumsid.
当那日,必有话向耶路撒冷说: 不要惧怕!锡安哪; 不要手软!
17 Thi Lord God is strong in the myddil of thee, he schal saue; he schal make ioie on thee in gladnesse, he schal be stille in thi louyng, he schal make ioie withoutforth on thee in heriyng.
耶和华—你的 神是施行拯救、 大有能力的主。 他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐, 默然爱你,且因你喜乐而欢呼。
18 Y schal gadere the foolis, ether veyn men, that wenten awei fro the lawe, for thei weren of thee, that thou haue no more schenschipe on hem.
那些属你、为无大会愁烦、 因你担当羞辱的,我必聚集他们。
19 Lo! Y schal sle alle men that turmentiden thee in that tyme, and Y schal saue him that haltith, and Y schal gadere hir that was cast out; and Y schal putte hem in to heriyng, and in to name in ech lond of confusioun of hem, in that tyme in which Y schal brynge you,
那时,我必罚办一切苦待你的人, 又拯救你瘸腿的,聚集你被赶出的。 那些在全地受羞辱的, 我必使他们得称赞,有名声。
20 and in the tyme in which Y schal gadre you. For Y schal yyue you in to name, and in to heriyng to alle puplis of erthe, whanne Y schal conuerte youre caitifte bifore youre iyen, seith the Lord.
那时,我必领你们进来,聚集你们; 我使你们被掳之人归回的时候, 就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声,得称赞。 这是耶和华说的。
