Книга пророка Софонии 1
1 Слово Господне, иже бысть к Софонии сыну Хусиину, сыну Годолиину, Амориину, Езекиину, во дни Иосии сына Амоня, царя Иудина.
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 Оскудением да оскудеют вся от лица земли, глаголет Господь:
I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith Yhwh.
3 да оскудеет человек и скоти, да оскудеют птицы небесныя и рыбы морския, и да изнемогут нечестивии, и изиму беззаконныя от лица земли, глаголет Господь.
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 И простру руку Мою на Иуду и на вся живущыя во Иерусалиме: и изиму от места сего имена Ваалова и имена жреческа со жерцами,
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 и покланяющихся на покровех воинству небесному и кленущихся Господем и кленущихся царем своим,
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 и укланяющихся от Господа и не ищущих Господа и не придержащихся Господа.
And them that are turned back from Yhwh; and those that have not sought Yhwh, nor enquired for him.
7 Убойтеся от лица Господа Бога, зане близ день Господень, яко уготова Господь жертву Свою и освяти званныя Своя.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Yhwh: for the day of Yhwh is at hand: for Yhwh hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
8 И будет в день жертвы Господни: и отмщу на князи и на дом царский и на вся оболченныя во одеяния чуждая,
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 и отмщу яве на вся предвратныя в день той, исполняющыя храм Господа Бога своего нечестием и лестию.
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 И будет в день он, глаголет Господь, глас вопля от врат избодающих и плачь от вторых и сотрение велие от холмов.
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 Плачите, живущии в посеченней, яко уподобишася вси людие ханаану, и потребишася вси величающиися сребром.
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
12 И будет в той день, изыщу Иерусалима со светилником и отмщу на мужы нерадящыя о стражбах своих, глаголющыя в сердцах своих: не имать блага сотворити Господь, ниже имать озлобити.
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 И будет сила их в расхищение и домы их в разорение: и созиждут жилища и не имут пожити в них, и насадят винограды и не имут пити вина их:
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 яко близ день Господень великий, близ и скор зело, глас дне Господня горек и жесток учинися.
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 Силен день гнева день той, день скорби и нужды, день безгодия и изчезновения, день тмы и мрака, день облака и мглы,
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 день трубы и вопля на грады твердыя и на углы высокия.
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 И оскорблю человеки, и пойдут яко слепи, зане Господеви прегрешиша, и излиется кровь их яко персть, и плоти их яко лайна:
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 и сребро их и злато их не возможет изяти их в день гнева Господня, и огнем рвения Его поядена будет вся земля: зане скончание и тщание сотворит на вся живущыя на земли.
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.
