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 the Lord which came unto Zephanyah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedalyah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Chizkiyah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah.
2 Rautin Es aizraušu visu no zemes virsas, saka Tas Kungs.
I will remove, utterly remove all things from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
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 remove man and beast; I will remove the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks together with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
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,
And I will stretch out my hand over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Ba'al from this place, the name of his ministers with his 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 those that bow themselves down on the roofs of houses to the host of heaven; and those that bow themselves down that are sworn [to be true] to the Lord and still swear by Malkom;
6 Un kas atkāpjas no Tā Kunga, un kas nemeklē To Kungu un pēc viņa nevaicā.
And those that are turned away from following the Lord; and those that have not sought for the Lord, and have not inquired 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 Eternal; for nigh is the day of the Lord; for the Lord hath prepared a slaughter, he hath bidden his invited 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 on the day of the Lord's slaughter, that I will inflict punishment on the princes, and on the king's sons, and on all such as are clothed in garments of a foreign land.
9 Un tai dienā Es piemeklēšu visus, kas lec pār slieksni un kas sava kunga namu pilda ar laupījumu un viltu.
And I will inflict punishment on all those that leap over the threshold on that day, 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.
And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be a loud cry of lamentation from the fish-gate, and a wailing from the second, and [that of] a great breach from the hills.
11 Kauciet, ielejas iedzīvotāji; jo visi tirgotāji izdeldēti, visi naudas krājēji nomaitāti.
Wail, ye inhabitants of the mortar-street, for destroyed are all the trading people; cut off are all that were laden with silver.
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 through with lights; and I will inflict punishment on the men that are at rest on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, nor 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.
And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses shall be made desolate; and they will build houses, but they shall not inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, but they shall not drink their wine.
14 Tā Kunga lielā diena ir tuvu un ļoti steidzās. Klau, Tā Kunga diena! Briesmīgi brēc paši varenie.
Nigh is the great day of the Lord, it is nigh, and hasteneth greatly, [there is] the noise of the day of the Lord: bitterly crieth there the mighty man.
15 Šī diena būs bardzības diena, bēdu un bailības diena, vētras un posta diena, melna un tumša diena, apmākusies un miglaina diena,
A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anxiety, a day of wasting and desolation, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and tempestuous gloom,
16 Bazūnes un kara trokšņa diena pret visām stiprām pilsētām un augstām pilīm.
A day of the cornet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements.
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 about like the blind, because against the Lord have they sinned: and their blood shall be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like 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 on the day of the Lord's wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.
