Zephaniah 3
1 Woe [to] the rebellious and polluted, The oppressing city!
这悖逆、污秽、欺压的城有祸了！
2 She hath not hearkened to the voice, She hath not accepted instruction, In Jehovah she hath not trusted, Unto her God she hath not drawn near.
她不听从命令，不领受训诲， 不倚靠耶和华， 不亲近她的 神。
3 Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
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 Her prophets unstable — men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law.
她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人； 她的祭司亵渎圣所， 强解律法。
5 Jehovah [is] righteous in her midst, He doth not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment he giveth to the light, It hath not been lacking, And the perverse doth not know shame.
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 I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
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 I have said: Only, ye do fear Me, Ye do accept instruction, And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all their doings.
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 Therefore, wait for Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, For the day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them Mine indignation, All the heat of Mine anger, For by the fire of My jealousy consumed is all the earth.
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 then do I turn unto peoples a pure lip, To call all of them by the name of Jehovah, To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
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 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present.
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 art not ashamed because of any of thine actions, Wherewith thou hast transgressed against Me, For then do I turn aside from thy midst The exulting ones of thine excellency, And thou dost add no more to be haughty, In My holy mountain.
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 I have left in thy midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the name of Jehovah.
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 remnant of Israel do no perversity, nor speak lies, Nor found in their mouth is a deceitful tongue, For they have delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling.
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 Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter 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 Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, [is] in thy midst, Thou seest evil no more.
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 day it is said to Jerusalem, 'Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble.
当那日，必有话向耶路撒冷说： 不要惧怕！锡安哪； 不要手软！
17 Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'
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 Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered, from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake reproach.
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, I am dealing with all afflicting thee at that time, And I have saved the halting one, And the driven out ones I do gather, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all the land of their shame.
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 At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah!
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。
