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 LORD’s word which came to 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 sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says 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 sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth, says 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;
I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place—the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,
5 in tiste, ki obožujejo vojsko neba na hišnih strehah; in tiste, ki obožujejo in ki prisegajo pri Gospodu in prisegajo pri Milkómu;
those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,
6 in tiste, ki so obrnjeni nazaj od Gospoda; in tiste, ki niso iskali Gospoda niti poizvedovali za njim.«
those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t 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.
Be silent at the presence of the Lord GOD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated 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.
It will happen in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king’s sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.
9 V istem dnevu bom kaznoval tudi vse tiste, ki poskakujejo na pragu, ki napolnjujejo hiše svojih gospodarjev z nasiljem in prevaro.
In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who 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.
In that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing 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.
Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver 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.‹
It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who 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.«
Their wealth will become a plunder, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine.
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 hurries greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man cries 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 distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16 dan šofarja in alarma zoper utrjena mesta in zoper visoke stolpe.
a day of the shofar and alarm against the fortified 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.«
I will bring such distress on men that they will walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like 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 will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
