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.
For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
2 Rautin Es aizraušu visu no zemes virsas, saka Tas Kungs.
“I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,”
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 beast; I will sweep away the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and the idols with their wicked worshipers. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,”
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 who dwell in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names 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 bow on the rooftops to worship the host of heaven, those who bow down and swear by the LORD but also swear by Milcom,
6 Un kas atkāpjas no Tā Kunga, un kas nemeklē To Kungu un pēc viņa nevaicā.
and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of 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 in the presence of the Lord GOD, for the Day of the LORD is near. Indeed, 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.
“On the Day of the LORD’s sacrifice I will punish the princes, the sons of the king, and all who are dressed in foreign apparel.
9 Un tai dienā Es piemeklēšu visus, kas lec pār slieksni un kas sava kunga namu pilda ar laupījumu un viltu.
On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master 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.
On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
11 Kauciet, ielejas iedzīvotāji; jo visi tirgotāji izdeldēti, visi naudas krājēji nomaitāti.
Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be 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.
And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
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 be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never 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— near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter.
15 Šī diena būs bardzības diena, bēdu un bailības diena, vētras un posta diena, melna un tumša diena, apmākusies un miglaina diena,
That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, 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 horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
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 mankind that they will walk like the blind, 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 on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
