Cefanjas 2
1 Pārbaudaties paši un izmeklējaties, jūs bezkaunīgie ļaudis.
Assemble, be gathered together, O people not worthy to be loved.
2 Pirms spriedums nenotiek, - kā pelavas skrien diena, - pirms Tā Kunga bardzības karstums jums neuziet, pirms Tā Kunga dusmības diena jums neuznāk.
Until the decree settles accounts, the day like dust is passing away, before which the wrath of the fury of the Lord may overcome you, before which the day of the anger of the Lord may overcome you.
3 Meklējiet To Kungu, visi bēdu ļaudis virs zemes, kas dariet viņa tiesu, meklējiet taisnību, meklējiet pazemību! Vai jūs, kas zin, netapsiet izglābti Tā Kunga bardzības dienā.
Seek the Lord, all you meek of the earth; you who have been working are his judgment. Seek the just, seek the meek. So then, in some way, you might be hidden in the day of the fury of the Lord.
4 Jo Gaca taps atstāta un Askalona par posta vietu, Ašdoda dienas vidū taps aizdzīta, un Ekrone taps izsakņota.
For Gaza will be destroyed, and Ashkelon will be in the desert; they will expel Ashdod at midday, and Ekron will be eradicated.
5 Ak vai, tiem, kas dzīvo gar jūru, Krietu tautai. Tā Kunga vārds nāks pār jums, Kanaāna, Fīlistu zeme! Un Es tevi izdeldēšu, ka tur vairs nebūs iedzīvotāju.
Woe to you who inhabit the coast of the sea, you people of perdition. The word of the Lord is over you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines, and I will disperse you, so that not one inhabitant will be left.
6 Un jūrmalas tiesa paliks par atmatām, ganu alām un avju laidariem.
And the coastline of the sea will be a resting place for shepherds and a fence line for cattle.
7 Un tā būs daļa Jūda nama atlikušiem, kur ganīt. Vakaros tie apgulsies Askalonas namos, kad Tas Kungs, viņu Dievs, tos piemeklēs, un būs novērsis viņu cietumu.
And it will be the line of him who will remain from the house of Judah. There they will pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will rest towards evening. For the Lord their God will visit them, and he will turn away their captivity.
8 Moaba mēdīšanu Es esmu dzirdējis, un Amona bērnu lamāšanu, ar ko tie mēdījuši Manus ļaudis un lielījušies pret viņu robežām.
I have heard about the disgrace of Moab and the blasphemies of the sons of Ammon, by which they have defamed my people and have been magnified beyond their borders.
9 Tādēļ tik tiešām ka Es dzīvoju, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, Israēla Dievs: Moabs būs kā Sodoma un Amona bērni kā Gomora, nātru krūms un sāls bedre un posta vieta mūžīgi. Manu ļaužu atlikušie tos aplaupīs, un Manas tautas atlikums tos iemantos.
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab will be like Sodom, and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah, like the dryness of thorns, and piles of salt, and a desert, all the way to eternity. The remnant of my people will despoil them, and the residue of my nation will possess them.
10 Tas viņiem notiks par viņu lepnību, jo tie ir mēdījuši un lielījušies pret Tā Kunga Cebaot ļaudīm.
This will come upon them for their arrogance, because they have blasphemed and have been magnified over the people of the Lord of hosts.
11 Tas Kungs būs briesmīgs pret viņiem, jo Viņš izdeldēs visus pasaules dievus, un ikviens no savas vietas Viņu pielūgs, visas pagānu salas.
The Lord will be a horror over them, and he will reduce all the gods of the earth. And they will adore him, each man from his own place, all the islands of the Gentiles.
12 Arī jūs, Moru(Etiopiešu) ļaudis, tapsiet nokauti caur Manu zobenu.
Even so, you Ethiopians, you will be executed by my sword.
13 Un Viņš izstieps Savu roku pret ziemeli un izdeldēs Asuru, un darīs Ninivi par postažu, tik sausu kā tuksnesi.
And he will extend his hand over the North, and he will destroy Assur. And he will set the Beautiful in the wilderness, and in an impassable place, and like a desert.
14 Un viņas vidū ganāmi pulki apgulsies, visādi zvēri, dumpis un ezis mājos viņu granātābolu dārzos, viņu balsis dziedās logos, gruveši būs uz sliekšņiem, jo ciedra galdi taps noplēsti.
And flocks will lie down in its midst, all the beasts of the Gentiles. And the pelican and the hedgehog will stay at its threshold; the voice of the singing bird will be at the window, with the crow above its threshold, for I will diminish her strength.
15 Šī ir tā pilsēta, kas tā priecājās, kas droši dzīvo, kas savā sirdī saka: es, un cita neviena. Kā tā ir palikusi par postažu, zvēriem par migu! Visi, kas tai iet garām, svilpo un met ar roku.
This is the glorious city, dwelling in trust, which said in her heart, “I am and there is no one other than me.” How has she become a lair for beasts in the desert? All who pass through her will hiss and wag their hand.
