Sofonija 3
1 Teško gradu odmetnièkom i oskvrnjenom, nasilnièkom!
Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 Ne sluša glasa, ne prima nauka, ne uzda se u Gospoda, ne pristupa k Bogu svojemu.
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3 Knezovi su mu u njemu lavovi koji rièu; sudije su mu vuci veèernji, koji ne gloðu kosti do jutra.
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.
4 Proroci su mu hvališe, varalice; sveštenici njegovi skvrne svetinju, izvræu zakon.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 Gospod je pravedan usred njega, ne èini nepravde, svako jutro iznosi sud svoj na vidjelo, ne izostaje, ali bezbožnik ne zna za stid.
The LORD in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
6 Istrijebih narode, kule im se razoriše, ulice im opustih, te niko ne prolazi; gradovi im se raskopaše, da nema nikoga, nema stanovnika.
I have cut off nations, their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
7 Rekoh: pobojaæeš me se, primiæeš nauk; neæe mu se zatrti stan nièim su èim bih ga pohodio; ali oni uraniše te pokvariše sva djela svoja.
I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive correction; so her dwelling should not be cut off, [according to] all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
8 Zato èekajte me, govori Gospod, do dana kad æu se podignuti na plijen; jer je sud moj da saberem narode i pokupim carstva, da izlijem na njih gnjev svoj, svu žestinu jarosti svoje, jer æe oganj revnosti moje proždrijeti svu zemlju.
Therefore wait ye for me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 Jer æu tada promijeniti narodima usne, te æe biti èiste, da bi svi prizivali ime Gospodnje i služili mu složnijem ramenima.
For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
10 Ispreko rijeka Huskih koji se meni mole, rasijani moji, donijeæe mi dare.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11 Tada se neæeš više stidjeti nijednoga svojih djela, kojima si mi zgriješio; jer æu onda uzeti iz tebe one koji se hvale slavom tvojom, i neæeš se više velièati na svetoj gori mojoj.
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain.
12 I ostaviæu u tebi narod nevoljan i siromašan, i oni æe se uzdati u ime Gospodnje.
But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
13 Ostatak Izrailjev neæe èiniti bezakonja niti æe govoriti laži, niti æe se naæi u ustima njihovijem jezik prijevaran; nego æe pasti i ležati i neæe biti nikoga da ih plaši.
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Pjevaj, kæeri Sionska; klikuj, Izrailju; raduj se i veseli se iz svega srca, kæeri Jerusalimska!
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Ukloni Gospod sudove tvoje, odvrati neprijatelje tvoje; car Izrailjev Gospod usred tebe je, neæeš se više bojati zla.
The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not fear evil any more.
16 U onaj dan reæi æe se gradu Jerusalimu: ne boj se; Sionu: nemoj da ti klonu ruke.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: O Zion, let not thine hands be slack.
17 Gospod Bog tvoj, koji je usred tebe, silni, spašæe te; radovaæe ti se veoma, umiriæe se u ljubavi svojoj, veseliæe se tebe radi pjevajuæi.
The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save: he will rejoice over thee with joy, he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18 Koji tuže za praznicima, sabraæu ih, koji su iz tebe, radi teške sramote koja je na tebi.
I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee: [to whom] the burden upon her was a reproach.
19 Gle, uništiæu u ono vrijeme sve koji te muèe, i izbaviæu hrome i sabrati odagnane, i dobaviæu im hvalu i slavu po svoj zemlji, gdje su bili pod sramotom.
Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth.
20 U ono vrijeme dovešæu vas, u ono vrijeme sabraæu vas; jer æu vam dobaviti slavu i hvalu po svijem narodima na zemlji, kad povratim roblje vaše pred vašim oèima, govori Gospod.
At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring again your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
