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 word of YHWH which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, 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 consume all things from off the land, saith YHWH.
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 consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith YHWH.
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 also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the 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,
And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by YHWH, and that swear by Malcham;
6 Un kas atkāpjas no Tā Kunga, un kas nemeklē To Kungu un pēc viņa nevaicā.
And them that are turned back from YHWH; and those that have not sought YHWH, nor inquired for 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.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Sovereign YHWH: for the day of YHWH is at hand: for YHWH hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
8 Un Tā Kunga upura dienā Es piemeklēšu virsniekus un ķēniņu bērnus un visus, kas ģērbjās ārzemes drēbēs.
And it shall come to pass in the day of YHWH 's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 Un tai dienā Es piemeklēšu visus, kas lec pār slieksni un kas sava kunga namu pilda ar laupījumu un viltu.
In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith YHWH, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Kauciet, ielejas iedzīvotāji; jo visi tirgotāji izdeldēti, visi naudas krājēji nomaitāti.
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear 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.
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, YHWH 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.
Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 Tā Kunga lielā diena ir tuvu un ļoti steidzās. Klau, Tā Kunga diena! Briesmīgi brēc paši varenie.
The great day of YHWH is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of YHWH: the mighty man shall cry 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 trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 Bazūnes un kara trokšņa diena pret visām stiprām pilsētām un augstām pilīm.
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high 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.
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against YHWH: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the 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 shall be able to deliver them in the day of YHWH 's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
