Zephaniah 3
1 Woe [to] the rebellious and polluted, The oppressing city!
Teško gradu odmetnièkom i oskvrnjenom, nasilnièkom!
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.
Ne sluša glasa, ne prima nauka, ne uzda se u Gospoda, ne pristupa k Bogu svojemu.
3 Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
Knezovi su mu u njemu lavovi koji rièu; sudije su mu vuci veèernji, koji ne gloðu kosti do jutra.
4 Her prophets unstable — men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law.
Proroci su mu hvališe, varalice; sveštenici njegovi skvrne svetinju, izvræu zakon.
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.
Gospod je pravedan usred njega, ne èini nepravde, svako jutro iznosi sud svoj na vidjelo, ne izostaje, ali bezbožnik ne zna za stid.
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.
Istrijebih narode, kule im se razoriše, ulice im opustih, te niko ne prolazi; gradovi im se raskopaše, da nema nikoga, nema stanovnika.
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.
Rekoh: pobojaæeš me se, primiæeš nauk; neæe mu se zatrti stan nièim su èim bih ga pohodio; ali oni uraniše te pokvariše sva djela svoja.
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.
Zato èekajte me, govori Gospod, do dana kad æu se podignuti na plijen; jer je sud moj da saberem narode i pokupim carstva, da izlijem na njih gnjev svoj, svu žestinu jarosti svoje, jer æe oganj revnosti moje proždrijeti svu zemlju.
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.
Jer æu tada promijeniti narodima usne, te æe biti èiste, da bi svi prizivali ime Gospodnje i služili mu složnijem ramenima.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present.
Ispreko rijeka Huskih koji se meni mole, rasijani moji, donijeæe mi dare.
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.
Tada se neæeš više stidjeti nijednoga svojih djela, kojima si mi zgriješio; jer æu onda uzeti iz tebe one koji se hvale slavom tvojom, i neæeš se više velièati na svetoj gori mojoj.
12 And I have left in thy midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the name of Jehovah.
I ostaviæu u tebi narod nevoljan i siromašan, i oni æe se uzdati u ime Gospodnje.
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.
Ostatak Izrailjev neæe èiniti bezakonja niti æe govoriti laži, niti æe se naæi u ustima njihovijem jezik prijevaran; nego æe pasti i ležati i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
14 Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Pjevaj, kæeri Sionska; klikuj, Izrailju; raduj se i veseli se iz svega srca, kæeri Jerusalimska!
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.
Ukloni Gospod sudove tvoje, odvrati neprijatelje tvoje; car Izrailjev Gospod usred tebe je, neæeš se više bojati zla.
16 In that day it is said to Jerusalem, 'Fear not, O Zion, let not thy hands be feeble.
U onaj dan reæi æe se gradu Jerusalimu: ne boj se; Sionu: nemoj da ti klonu ruke.
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.'
Gospod Bog tvoj, koji je usred tebe, silni, spašæe te; radovaæe ti se veoma, umiriæe se u ljubavi svojoj, veseliæe se tebe radi pjevajuæi.
18 Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered, from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake reproach.
Koji tuže za praznicima, sabraæu ih, koji su iz tebe, radi teške sramote koja je na tebi.
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.
Gle, uništiæu u ono vrijeme sve koji te muèe, i izbaviæu hrome i sabrati odagnane, i dobaviæu im hvalu i slavu po svoj zemlji, gdje su bili pod sramotom.
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!
U ono vrijeme dovešæu vas, u ono vrijeme sabraæu vas; jer æu vam dobaviti slavu i hvalu po svijem narodima na zemlji, kad povratim roblje vaše pred vašim oèima, govori Gospod.
