Cefanjas 1
1 Tā Kunga vārds, kas notika Josijas, Amona dēla, Jūda ķēniņa, dienās uz Cefaniju, Kuzus dēlu; tas bija Ģedalijas, tas Amarijas, tas Hizkijas dēls.
The LORD’s word which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 Rautin Es aizraušu visu no zemes virsas, saka Tas Kungs.
I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
3 Es aizraušu cilvēkus un lopus, Es aizraušu putnus apakš debess un zivis jūrā un apgrēcības līdz ar bezdievīgiem, un Es izdeldēšu cilvēkus no zemes virsas, saka Tas Kungs.
I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
4 Un Es izstiepšu savu roku pret Jūdu un pret visiem Jeruzālemes iedzīvotājiem, un izdeldēšu no šās vietas, kas atlicies no Baāla, un elka kalpu vārdu līdz ar tiem priesteriem,
I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place—the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,
5 Līdz ar tiem, kas pielūdz debess spēku uz jumtiem, un kas pielūdz un zvērē pie Tā Kunga un arī zvērē pie sava ķēniņa,
those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,
6 Un kas atkāpjas no Tā Kunga, un kas nemeklē To Kungu un pēc viņa nevaicā.
those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor enquired after him.
7 Ciet klusu priekš Tā Kunga Dieva, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu, jo Tas Kungs ir sataisījis upuri, viņš ir svētījis savus viesus.
Be silent at the presence of the Lord GOD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.
8 Un Tā Kunga upura dienā Es piemeklēšu virsniekus un ķēniņu bērnus un visus, kas ģērbjās ārzemes drēbēs.
It will happen in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king’s sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.
9 Un tai dienā Es piemeklēšu visus, kas lec pār slieksni un kas sava kunga namu pilda ar laupījumu un viltu.
In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
10 Un tai dienā, saka Tas Kungs, celsies brēkšanas balss no Zivju vārtiem un kaukšana no otra gala un lielas vaimanas no pakalniem.
In that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Kauciet, ielejas iedzīvotāji; jo visi tirgotāji izdeldēti, visi naudas krājēji nomaitāti.
Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.
12 Un tanī laikā Es Jeruzālemi izmeklēšu ar uguni un piemeklēšu tos vīrus, kas sēž uz savām mielēm, kas saka savās sirdīs: Tas Kungs nedara ne laba, ne ļauna.
It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.”
13 Tāpēc viņu manta paliks par laupījumu un viņu nami par postažām. Tie gan uztaisa namus, bet tur nedzīvos, tie dēsta vīna dārzus, bet to vīnu nedzers.
Their wealth will become a plunder, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine.
14 Tā Kunga lielā diena ir tuvu un ļoti steidzās. Klau, Tā Kunga diena! Briesmīgi brēc paši varenie.
The great day of the LORD is near. It is near and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man cries there bitterly.
15 Šī diena būs bardzības diena, bēdu un bailības diena, vētras un posta diena, melna un tumša diena, apmākusies un miglaina diena,
That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16 Bazūnes un kara trokšņa diena pret visām stiprām pilsētām un augstām pilīm.
a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.
17 Un Es izbiedēšu cilvēkus, ka tie iet kā akli; jo tie grēkojuši pret To Kungu, un viņu asinis taps izgāztas kā pīšļi, un viņu miesas kā mēsli.
I will bring such distress on men that they will walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
18 Ne viņu sudrabs, ne viņu zelts tos neizglābs Tā Kunga bardzības dienā, bet Viņa karstuma ugunī visa zeme taps aprīta; jo ātru galu Viņš darīs visiem zemes iedzīvotājiem.
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
