Sofonija 2
1 Zberite se skupaj, da, zberite se skupaj, oh narod, ki ni zaželen.
Collect yourselves and gather together, O nation without shame,
2 Preden se rodi odlok, preden dan mine kakor pleve, preden pride nad vas kruta Gospodova jeza, preden pride nad vas dan Gospodove jeze.
before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass away as chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah come upon you, before the day of Jehovah's anger come upon you.
3 Iščite Gospoda, vsi vi krotki na zemlji, ki ste vršili njegovo sodbo, iščite pravičnost, iščite krotkost. Morda bo, da boste skriti na dan Gospodove jeze.
Seek Jehovah, all ye meek of the land, who have performed his ordinance; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of Jehovah's anger.
4 Kajti Gaza bo zapuščena in Aškelón opustošenje. Ašdód bodo izgnali opoldan in Ekrón bo izkoreninjen.
For Gazah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon shall be a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Gorje prebivalcem morske obale, narodu Keretéjcev! Gospodova beseda je zoper tebe, oh Kánaan, dežela Filistejcev, celo uničil te bom, da tam ne bo nobenega prebivalca.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Jehovah is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant;
6 Morska obala bodo pašniki in koče za pastirje in staje za trope.
and the sea-coast shall be cave-dwellings for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 Obala bo za preostanek Judove hiše. Pasli se bodo na njej. V aškelónskih hišah bodo zvečer legli, kajti Gospod, njihov Bog, jih bo obiskal in odvrnil njihovo ujetništvo.
And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for Jehovah their God shall visit them, and turn again their captivity.
8 »Slišal sem grajo Moába in zasramovanja Amónovih otrok, s katerimi so grajali moje ljudstvo in se poveličevali zoper njihovo mejo.
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Zato kakor jaz živim, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, Izraelov Bog: »Zagotovo bo Moáb kakor Sódoma in Amónovi otroci kakor Gomóra, celó gojenje kopriv in solne jame in nenehno opustošenje. Preostanek mojega ljudstva jih bo oplenil in preostanek mojega ljudstva jih bo vzel v last.«
Therefore, [as] I live, saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall certainly be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt-pits, and a perpetual desolation; the remnant of my people shall spoil them, and the residue of my nation shall possess them.
10 To bodo imeli zaradi svojega ponosa, ker so grajali in se poveličevali zoper ljudstvo Gospoda nad bojevniki.
This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.
11 Gospod jim bo strašen, kajti izstradal bo vse bogove zemlje in ljudje ga bodo oboževali, vsak iz svojega kraja, celó vsi otoki poganov.
Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and all the isles of the nations shall worship him, every one from his place.
12 »Tudi vi Etiopijci boste umorjeni z mojim mečem.«
Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be the slain of my sword.
13 Svojo roko bo iztegnil zoper sever in uničil Asirijo in Ninive bo naredil opustošenje in suho kakor divjina.
And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, a place of drought like the wilderness.
14 Tropi se bodo ulegli v njegovi sredi, vse živali narodov, tako kormoran kot bobnarica bosta prenočevala v njegovih zgornjih prekladah. Njihov glas bo prepeval na oknih, opustošenje bo na pragih, kajti odkril bo cedrovo oblogo.
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the crowd of beasts; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the chapiters thereof; a voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be on the thresholds: for he hath laid bare the cedar work.
15 To je veseleče se mesto, ki je brezskrbno prebivalo, ki je v svojem srcu govorilo: ›Jaz sem in poleg mene ni nikogar.‹ Kako je postalo opustošenje, kraj za živali, da se uležejo v njem! Vsak, kdor gre mimo njega, ga bo izžvižgal in zamahnil s svojo roko.«
This is the rejoicing city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become a desolation, a couching-place for beasts! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, shall wave his hand.
