Sofonija 1
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Sofoniji sinu Husija sina Godolije sina Amarije sina Jezekijina, za vremena Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina.
This is the message that the Lord gave to Zephaniah. He was the son of Cushti, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. This happened when Josiah, son of Amon, was king of Judah.
2 Sve æu uzeti sa zemlje, govori Gospod;
I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth, declares the Lord.
3 Uzeæu ljude i stoku, uzeæu ptice nebeske i ribe morske i sablazni s bezbožnicima, i istrijebiæu ljude sa zemlje, govori Gospod.
I will sweep away people and animals, I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. I will overthrow the wicked; I will destroy human beings from the face of the earth.
4 Jer æu mahnuti rukom svojom na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jerusalimske, i istrijebiæu iz mjesta ovoga ostatak Valov i ime sveštenika idolskih s drugim sveštenicima,
I will strike Judah and everyone who lives in Jerusalem. I will destroy all that remains of their Baal worship along with their pagan priests so that even their names will be forgotten.
5 I one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj i koji se klanjaju i kunu se Gospodom i koji se kunu Melhomom.
I will destroy those who go up to the rooftops to bow down before the sun, moon, and stars. They also bow down and swear allegiance to the Lord, but then they do the same to Milcom.
6 I one koji se odvraæaju od Gospoda i koji ne traže Gospoda niti pitaju za nj.
I will destroy those who once worshiped the Lord but don't anymore. They don't seek the Lord or ask for my help.
7 Muèi pred Gospodom Gospodom, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji, jer je Gospod prigotovio žrtvu i pozvao svoje zvanice.
Be silent before the Lord God! For the day of the Lord is near: the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests.
8 I u dan žrtve Gospodnje pohodiæu knezove i carske sinove i sve koji nose tuðinsko odijelo.
Then on the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the officials and the king's sons, and those who follow pagan ways.
9 I pohodiæu u taj dan sve koji skaèu preko praga, koji pune kuæu gospodara svojih grabežem i prijevarom.
I will also punish those who jump over the threshold. On that day I will punish those who fill up their masters' houses using violence and deception.
10 I u taj æe dan, veli Gospod, biti vika od ribljih vrata, i jauk s druge strane, i polom velik s humova.
On that day, declares the Lord, a cry of grief will come from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Ridajte koji živite u Maktesu, jer izgibe sav narod trgovaèki, istrijebiše se svi koji nose srebro.
Those who live in the Market District will wail in sorrow, for all the merchants are destroyed, along with those who trade in silver.
12 I u to æu vrijeme razgledati Jerusalim sa žišcima, i pohodiæu ljude koji leže na svojoj droždini, koji govore u srcu svom: Gospod ne èini ni dobro ni zlo.
At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps and I will punish those self-satisfied people, who are like wine left on its dregs, who say to themselves, “The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.”
13 I blago æe se njihovo razgrabiti i kuæe njihove opustošiti; grade kuæe, ali neæe sjedjeti u njima; i sade vinograde, ali neæe piti vina iz njih.
Their possessions will be looted; their houses will be demolished. They will build houses, but not live in them; they will plant vineyards, but not drink the wine.
14 Blizu je veliki dan Gospodnji, blizu je i ide vrlo brzo; glas æe biti dana Gospodnjega, gorko æe tada vikati junak.
The great day of the Lord is near and approaching rapidly. It will be a bitter day—even warriors will cry out loud.
15 Taj je dan dan, kada æe biti gnjev, dan, kada æe biti tuga i muka, dan, kada æe biti pustošenje i zatiranje, dan, kada æe biti mrak i tama, dan, kada æe biti oblak i magla,
It will be a day of anger, a day of trouble and distress, a day of disaster and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16 Dan, kada æe biti trubljenje i pokliè na tvrde gradove i na visoke uglove.
a day of trumpet calls and battle cries against fortified cities and watchtowers.
17 I pritijesniæu ljude, te æe iæi kao slijepi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu; i krv æe se njihova prosuti kao prah i tjelesa njihova kao gnoj.
I will bring trouble on humanity, making them walk like blind people because they have sinned against the Lord. Their blood will be spilled like so much dust; their intestines like dung.
18 Ni srebro njihovo ni zlato njihovo neæe ih moæi izbaviti u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega; i svu æe zemlju proždrijeti oganj revnosti njegove; jer æe brzo uèiniti kraj svjema stanovnicima zemaljskim.
Their silver and their gold won't help to save them on the day of the Lord's anger. The whole earth will be burned up by the fire of his jealous anger. He will make sure the end of the people of the world is sudden and complete.
