< Cefanjas 3 >

1 Vai tai stūrgalvīgai un apgānītai un varmācīgai pilsētai!
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 Tā neklausa, ko saka, tā nepieņem mācību un nepaļaujas uz To Kungu, nenāk pie sava Dieva.
She obeyed not the voice. She received not correction. She trusted not in Jehovah. She did not draw near to her God.
3 Viņas lielkungi viņas vidū ir lauvas, kas rūc, viņas soģi ir kā vilki vakarā, kas nekā neatlicina līdz rītam.
Her rulers in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing till the morrow.
4 Viņas pravieši ir lielmutes, viltnieki, viņas priesteri sagāna svētumu un lauž bauslību.
Her prophets are airy and treacherous men. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5 Tas Kungs ir taisns viņu vidū, Viņš nedara netaisnību, ik rītu Viņš nes gaismā Savu tiesu bez kavēšanās, tomēr nelieši neprot kauna.
Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous. He will not do iniquity. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He does not fail, but the unjust man knows no shame.
6 Tautas Es esmu izdeldējis, viņu pilis ir postītas, viņu ielas Es esmu darījis tukšas, ka neviens tur nestaigā, viņu pilsētas ir postītas, palikušas bez cilvēka un bez iedzīvotāja.
I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that none passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
7 Es sacīju: kaut tu Mani bītos un pieņemtu mācību, tad viņu mājas vieta netaptu izdeldēta pēc visa, ko Es par tiem esmu nospriedis. Bet tie ir ļaunu darījuši, ko vien darīdami
I said, Only fear thou me. Receive correction, so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
8 Tādēļ jums būs Mani gaidīt, saka Tas Kungs, tai dienā, kad Es celšos uz laupījumu, jo Mana tiesa ir sapulcināt tautas, sakrāt valstis un pār tām izgāzt Savu bardzību un visu Savu dusmības karstumu, jo visa pasaule taps aprīta Mana karstuma ugunī.
Therefore wait ye for me, says Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 Tad Es tiem ļaudīm došu šķīstas lūpas, ka visiem būs piesaukt Tā Kunga vārdu un Viņam kalpot vienprātībā.
For then I will turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent.
10 No viņpus Moru upēm Mani pielūdzēji Man nesīs upurus, Manu izkaisīto ļaužu draudze.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.
11 Tai dienā tu netapsi kaunā visu savu darbu dēļ, ar ko tu pret Mani noziegusies. Jo tad Es no tava vidus atņemšu tavus lepnos lielītājus, un tu vairs nebūsi lepna Manā svētā kalnā.
In that day thou shall not be put to shame for all thy doings, in which thou have transgressed against me. For then I will take away out of the midst of thee those who rejoice in thy pride, and thou shall no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
12 Un tavā vidū Es atlicināšu bēdu ļaudis un pazemīgos, tie paļausies uz Tā Kunga vārdu.
But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah.
13 Israēla atlikušie nedarīs netaisnību un nerunās melus, un viņu mutē neatradīs viltus mēli, bet tie ganīsies un apgulsies, un neviens tos netraucēs.
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth. For they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Dzied priecīgi, Ciānas meita! Gavilē, Israēl! Priecājies un līksmojies no visas sirds, Jeruzālemes meita!
Sing, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Tas Kungs ir atņēmis tavu sodību, Viņš tavu ienaidnieku ir aizmēzis projām. Tas Kungs, Israēla ķēniņš, ir tavā vidū, ļaunuma tu vairs neredzēsi.
Jehovah has taken away thy judgments. He has cast out thine enemy. The King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee. Thou shall not fear evil any more.
16 Tai dienā sacīs uz Jeruzālemi: nebīsties, Ciāna! Lai tavas rokas nenogurst.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not, O Zion. Let not thy hands be slack.
17 Tas Kungs, tavs Dievs, ir tavā vidū, stiprs Pestītājs, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar līksmību, Viņš cietīs klusu savā mīlestībā, Viņš priecāsies par tevi ar gavilēšanu.
Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing.
18 Es sapulcināšu tos, kas bija noskumuši svētku sapulces dēļ; tie tev pieder; negods tiem uzkrauts.
I will gather those who sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee, to whom the burden upon her was a reproach.
19 Redzi, tanī laikā Es tā darīšu visiem taviem spaidītājiem, un Es pasargāšu klibo un sapulcināšu izdzīto, un tos iecelšu par teikšanu un par slavu ikvienā zemē, kur tie bija kaunā.
Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict thee. And I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away, and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame has been in all the earth.
20 Tanī laikā Es jūs atvedīšu, un to brīdi Es jūs sapulcināšu. Jo Es jūs iecelšu par slavu un par teikšanu pie visām pasaules tautām, kad Es jūsu cietumu novērsīšu priekš jūsu acīm, saka Tas Kungs.
At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you. For I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says Jehovah.
