Zephaniah 1
1 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezikiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amoz, king of Judah:
当犹大王亚们的儿子约西亚在位的时候，耶和华的话临到希西家的玄孙，亚玛利雅的曾孙，基大利的孙子，古示的儿子西番雅。
2 I utterly consume all from off the face of the ground, An affirmation of Jehovah.
耶和华说： 我必从地上除灭万类。
3 I consume man and beast, I consume fowl of the heavens, and fishes of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks — the wicked, And I have cut off man from the face of the ground, An affirmation of Jehovah,
我必除灭人和牲畜， 与空中的鸟、海里的鱼， 以及绊脚石和恶人； 我必将人从地上剪除。 这是耶和华说的。
4 And stretched out My hand against Judah, And against all inhabiting Jerusalem, And cut off from this place the remnant of Baal, The name of the idolatrous priests, with the priests,
我必伸手攻击犹大 和耶路撒冷的一切居民， 也必从这地方剪除所剩下的巴力， 并基玛林的名和祭司，
5 And those bowing themselves On the roofs to the host of the heavens, And those bowing themselves, Swearing to Jehovah, and swearing by Malcham,
与那些在房顶上敬拜天上万象的， 并那些敬拜耶和华指着他起誓， 又指着玛勒堪起誓的，
6 And those removing from after Jehovah, And who have not sought Jehovah, nor besought Him.
与那些转去不跟从耶和华的， 和不寻求耶和华也不访问他的。
7 Hush! because of the Lord Jehovah, For near [is] a day of Jehovah, For prepared hath Jehovah a sacrifice, He hath sanctified His invited ones.
你要在主耶和华面前静默无声， 因为耶和华的日子快到。 耶和华已经预备祭物， 将他的客分别为圣。
8 And it hath come to pass, In the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah, That I have laid a charge on the heads, And on sons of the king, And on all putting on strange clothing.
到了我—耶和华献祭的日子， 必惩罚首领和王子， 并一切穿外邦衣服的。
9 And I have laid a charge on every one Who is leaping over the threshold in that day, Who are filling the house of their masters [With] violence and deceit.
到那日，我必惩罚一切跳过门槛、 将强暴和诡诈得来之物充满主人房屋的。
10 And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the Second, And of great destruction from the hills.
耶和华说：当那日， 从鱼门必发出悲哀的声音， 从二城发出哀号的声音， 从山间发出大破裂的响声。
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of the hollow place, For cut off hath been all the merchant people, Cut off have been all bearing silver.
玛革提施的居民哪，你们要哀号， 因为迦南的商民都灭亡了！ 凡搬运银子的都被剪除。
12 And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil.
那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷； 我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的； 他们心里说： 耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。
13 And their wealth hath been for a spoil, And their houses for desolation, And they have built houses, and do not inhabit, And they have planted vineyards, And they do not drink their wine.
他们的财宝必成为掠物； 他们的房屋必变为荒场。 他们必建造房屋，却不得住在其内； 栽种葡萄园，却不得喝所出的酒。
14 Near [is] the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek there doth a mighty one.
耶和华的大日临近， 临近而且甚快， 乃是耶和华日子的风声； 勇士必痛痛地哭号。
15 A day of wrath [is] that day, A day of adversity and distress, A day of waste and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness.
那日是忿怒的日子， 是急难困苦的日子， 是荒废凄凉的日子， 是黑暗幽冥、密云乌黑的日子，
16 A day of trumpet and shouting against the fenced cities, And against the high corners.
是吹角呐喊的日子， 要攻击坚固城和高大的城楼。
17 And I have sent distress to men, And they have walked as the blind, For against Jehovah they have sinned, And poured out is their blood as dust, And their flesh [is] as dung.
我必使灾祸临到人身上， 使他们行走如同瞎眼的， 因为得罪了我。 他们的血必倒出如灰尘； 他们的肉必抛弃如粪土。
18 Even their silver, even their gold, Is not able to deliver them in a day of the wrath of Jehovah, And in the fire of His jealousy consumed is the whole land, For only a hastened end doth He make Of all the inhabitants of the land!
当耶和华发怒的日子， 他们的金银不能救他们； 他的忿怒如火必烧灭全地， 毁灭这地的一切居民，而且大大毁灭。
