Книга пророка Софонии 1
1 Слово Господне, иже бысть к Софонии сыну Хусиину, сыну Годолиину, Амориину, Езекиину, во дни Иосии сына Амоня, царя Иудина.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 Оскудением да оскудеют вся от лица земли, глаголет Господь:
“I will utterly destroy everything from off the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 destroy man and beast; I will destroy the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, the ruins along with the wicked. For I will cut off man from the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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 reach out with my hand over Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every remnant of Baal from this place and the names of the idolatrous people among the priests,
5 и покланяющихся на покровех воинству небесному и кленущихся Господем и кленущихся царем своим,
the people who on the housetops worship the heavenly bodies, and the people who worship and swear to Yahweh but who also swear by their king.
6 и укланяющихся от Господа и не ищущих Господа и не придержащихся Господа.
I will also cut off those who have turned away from following Yahweh, those who neither seek Yahweh nor ask for his guidance.”
7 Убойтеся от лица Господа Бога, зане близ день Господень, яко уготова Господь жертву Свою и освяти званныя Своя.
Be silent before the Lord Yahweh! For the day of Yahweh is near; Yahweh has prepared the sacrifice and set apart his guests.
8 И будет в день жертвы Господни: и отмщу на князи и на дом царский и на вся оболченныя во одеяния чуждая,
“It will come about on the day of Yahweh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes and the king's sons, and everyone dressed in foreign clothes.
9 и отмщу яве на вся предвратныя в день той, исполняющыя храм Господа Бога своего нечестием и лестию.
On that day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, those who fill their master's house 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.
So it will be on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration— that a cry of distress will come from the Fish Gate, wailing from the Second District, and a great crashing sound from the hills.
11 Плачите, живущии в посеченней, яко уподобишася вси людие ханаану, и потребишася вси величающиися сребром.
Wail, inhabitants of the Market District, for all the merchants will be ruined; all those who weigh out silver will be 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.
It will come about at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who have settled into their wine and say in their heart, 'Yahweh will not do anything, either good or 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:
Their wealth will become plunder, and their houses will be an abandoned devastation! They will build houses but not live in them, and plant vineyards but not drink their wine.
14 яко близ день Господень великий, близ и скор зело, глас дне Господня горек и жесток учинися.
The great day of Yahweh is near, near and hurrying quickly! The sound of the day of Yahweh will be that of a warrior crying 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 will be a day of fury, a day of distress and anguish, a day of storm and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
16 день трубы и вопля на грады твердыя и на углы высокия.
It will be a day of trumpets and alarms against the fortified cities and the high battlements.
17 И оскорблю человеки, и пойдут яко слепи, зане Господеви прегрешиша, и излиется кровь их яко персть, и плоти их яко лайна:
For I will bring distress upon mankind, so that they will walk about like blind men since they have sinned against Yahweh. Their blood will be poured out like dust, and their inner parts like 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 will be able to save them on the day of Yahweh's fury. In the fire of his jealousy the whole earth will be consumed, for he will bring a complete, a terrible end of all the inhabitants of the earth.”
