Sofonija 1

1 Gospodova beseda, ki je prišla Sofoniju, sinu Kušíja, sinú Gedaljája, sinú Amarjá, sinú Hezekija, v dneh Jošíja, Amónovega sina, Judovega kralja.

The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

2 »Popolnoma bom použil vse stvari iz dežele, « govori Gospod.

I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith the LORD.

3 »Použil bom človeka in žival. Z zlobnimi bom použil perjad neba in ribe morja in kamne spotike in človeka bom iztrebil iz dežele, « govori Gospod.

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 face of the ground, saith the LORD.

4 »Prav tako bom svojo roko iztegnil nad Juda in nad vse prebivalce Jeruzalema in iztrebil bom preostanek Báala iz tega mesta in ime Kemarimov z duhovniki;

And I will 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 Chemarim with the priests;

5 in tiste, ki obožujejo vojsko neba na hišnih strehah; in tiste, ki obožujejo in ki prisegajo pri Gospodu in prisegajo pri Milkómu;

and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, which swear to the LORD and swear by Malcam;

6 in tiste, ki so obrnjeni nazaj od Gospoda; in tiste, ki niso iskali Gospoda niti poizvedovali za njim.«

and them that are turned back from following the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired after him.

7 Mirujte ob prisotnosti Gospoda Boga, kajti dan Gospodov je pri roki, kajti Gospod je pripravil klavno daritev, povabil je svoje goste.

Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath sanctified his guests.

8 »In zgodilo se bo, na dan Gospodove klavne daritve, da bom kaznoval prince in kraljeve otroke in vse tiste, ki so oblečeni s tujo obleko.

And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

9 V istem dnevu bom kaznoval tudi vse tiste, ki poskakujejo na pragu, ki napolnjujejo hiše svojih gospodarjev z nasiljem in prevaro.

And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, which fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.

10 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod, » da bo glas vpitja od Ribjih velikih vrat in tuljenja od drugih in veliko lomljenje s hribov.

And in that day, saith the LORD, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.

11 Tulite, vi prebivalci Maltarke, kajti vse trgovsko ljudstvo je posekano. Vsi tisti, ki nosijo srebro, so iztrebljeni.

Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone: all they that were laden with sliver are cut off.

12 Ob tistem času se bo zgodilo, da bom Jeruzalem preiskal s svetilkami in kaznoval ljudi, ki so naseljeni na svojih usedlinah, ki v svojem srcu pravijo: › Gospod ne bo storil dobrega niti ne bo storil zlega.‹

And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

13 Zato bodo njihove dobrine postale plen in njihove hiše opustošenje. Prav tako bodo gradili hiše, toda ne bodo jih poselili in sadili bodo vinograde, toda od njihovega vina ne bodo pili.«

And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof.

14 Gospodov véliki dan je blizu, ta je blizu in silno hiti, celó glas Gospodovega dneva. Mogočen človek bo tam grenko jokal.

The great day of the LORD is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of the LORD; the mighty man crieth there bitterly.

15 Tisti dan je dan besa, dan stiske in tegobe, dan pustote in opustošenja in dan teme in mračnosti, dan oblakov in goste teme,

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 dan šofarja in alarma zoper utrjena mesta in zoper visoke stolpe.

a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements.

17 »Na ljudi bom privedel tegobo, da bodo hodili kakor slepi ljudje, ker so grešili zoper Gospoda in njihova kri bo izlita kakor prah in njihovo meso kakor gnoj.«

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.

18 Niti jih njihovo srebro niti njihovo zlato ne bo moglo osvoboditi na dan Gospodovega besa, temveč bo celotna dežela použita z ognjem njegove ljubosumnosti, kajti celo zelo hitro se bo znebil vseh tistih, ki prebivajo v deželi.«

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land.
