Sofonija 2
1 Saberite se, saberite se, narode nemili,
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2 Dok nije izašao sud, i dan prošao kao pljeva, dok nije došao na vas ljuti gnjev Gospodnji, dok nije došao na vas dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’s anger come upon you.
3 Tražite Gospoda svi koji ste krotki u zemlji, koji èinite što je naredio; tražite pravdu, tražite krotost, eda biste se sakrili na dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’s anger.
4 Jer æe se Gaza ostaviti i Askalon æe opustjeti; Azot æe se odagnati u podne i Akaron æe se iskorijeniti.
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Teško onima koji žive po bregovima morskim, narodu Heretejskom: rijeè je Gospodnja na vas, Hanane, zemljo Filistejska, ja æu te zatrti da ne bude stanovnika u tebi.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD [is] against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 I bregovi æe morski biti stanovi i jame pastirske i torovi za stada.
And the sea coast shall be dwellings [and] cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 I taj æe kraj biti ostatku doma Judina; ondje æe pasti; u domovima æe Askalonskim lijegati uveèe; jer æe ih pohoditi Gospod Bog njihov i povratiti roblje njihovo.
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
8 Èuo sam rug Moavov i ukore sinova Amonovijeh kojima ružiše moj narod, i raširiše se preko meða njihovijeh.
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified [themselves] against their border.
9 Zato, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, Moav æe biti kao Sodom i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomor, mjesto koprivama, i slanica i vjeèna pustoš: ostatak naroda mojega oplijeniæe ih, i koji ostanu od naroda mojega naslijediæe ih.
Therefore [as] I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, [even] the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
10 To æe im biti za ponositost njihovu; jer ružiše narod Gospoda nad vojskama i podizaše se na nj.
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified [themselves] against the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 Strašan æe im biti Gospod, jer æe istrijebiti sve bogove zemaljske, i njemu æe se klanjati svaki iz svojega mjesta, sva ostrva narodna.
The LORD [will be] terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and [men] shall worship him, every one from his place, [even] all the isles of the heathen.
12 I vi, Etiopljani, biæete pobijeni maèem mojim.
Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword.
13 I dignuæe ruku svoju na sjever, i zatræe Asirsku, i Nineviju æe opustiti da bude suha kao pustinja.
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness.
14 I u njoj æe ležati stada, svakojako zvijerje izmeðu naroda, i gem i æuk noæivaæe na dovratnicima njezinijem; glasom æe pjevati na prozorima; pustoš æe biti na pragovima, jer æe se poskidati kedrovina.
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
15 Taki æe biti veseli grad, koji sjedi bez brige, koji govori u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema drugoga. Kako opustje! posta loža zvijerju! Ko god proðe mimo nj zviždaæe i mahati rukom.
This [is] the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I [am], and [there is] none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, [and] wag his hand.
