Cefanjas 2
1 Pārbaudaties paši un izmeklējaties, jūs bezkaunīgie ļaudis.
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation without desire [for repentance];
2 Pirms spriedums nenotiek, - kā pelavas skrien diena, - pirms Tā Kunga bardzības karstums jums neuziet, pirms Tā Kunga dusmības diena jums neuznāk.
Before the decree is brought forth—like the chaff the day passeth away—before yet there be come over you the fierce anger of the Lord, before yet there be come over you the day of the anger of the Lord.
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 ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, who have fulfilled his ordinances; seek righteousness, seek meekness: perhaps ye will be protected on the day of the Lord's anger.
4 Jo Gaca taps atstāta un Askalona par posta vietu, Ašdoda dienas vidū taps aizdzīta, un Ekrone taps izsakņota.
For Gazzah shall become forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolate place: Ashdod shall they drive out at the noon of day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
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 unto the inhabitants of the district by the sea, the nation of the Kerethites! the word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that no inhabitant shall remain.
6 Un jūrmalas tiesa paliks par atmatām, ganu alām un avju laidariem.
And the district by the sea shall become places for pens of shepherds, and folds for flocks.
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 this district shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; thereupon shall they feed their flocks: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the Lord their God will think of them, and bring back 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 the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of 'Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and made themselves great against their border.
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.
Therefore as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall become like Sodom, and the children of 'Ammon like Gomorrah, overgrown with nettles, and [filled with] salt-pits, and a desolation to eternity; the residue of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nation shall possess them.
10 Tas viņiem notiks par viņu lepnību, jo tie ir mēdījuši un lielījušies pret Tā Kunga Cebaot ļaudīm.
This shall they have in recompense for their pride; because they have reproached and made themselves great against 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.
Terrible will the Lord [appear] over them; for he will cause to vanish all the gods of the earth; and then shall prostrate themselves before him, every one from its place, all the isles of the nations.
12 Arī jūs, Moru(Etiopiešu) ļaudis, tapsiet nokauti caur Manu zobenu.
Also ye Ethiopians shall be those slain 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 stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and he will make Nineveh a desolate place, dry, like the wilderness.
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 there shall lie down in the midst of her flocks, all the beasts of the nations; both the pelican and the hedgehog shall lodge in the capitals of her columns; singing-birds shall sing in the windows; ruin shall be on the thresholds; for the cedar wainscoting shall be torn away.
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 joyful city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become desolate, a resting-place for beasts! every one that passeth by her will hiss, and shake his hand.
