Zephaniah 1

1 The word of the LORD 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.

Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Sofoniji sinu Husija sina Godolije sina Amarije sina Jezekijina, za vremena Josije sina Amonova, cara Judina.

2 I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

Sve æu uzeti sa zemlje, govori Gospod;

3 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.

Uzeæu ljude i stoku, uzeæu ptice nebeske i ribe morske i sablazni s bezbožnicima, i istrijebiæu ljude sa zemlje, govori Gospod.

4 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,

Jer æu mahnuti rukom svojom na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jerusalimske, i istrijebiæu iz mjesta ovoga ostatak Valov i ime sveštenika idolskih s drugim sveštenicima,

5 those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Milcom,

I one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj i koji se klanjaju i kunu se Gospodom i koji se kunu Melhomom.

6 those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven't sought the LORD nor inquired after him.

I one koji se odvraæaju od Gospoda i koji ne traže Gospoda niti pitaju za nj.

7 Be silent at the presence of the LORD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

Muèi pred Gospodom Gospodom, jer je blizu dan Gospodnji, jer je Gospod prigotovio žrtvu i pozvao svoje zvanice.

8 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.

I u dan žrtve Gospodnje pohodiæu knezove i carske sinove i sve koji nose tuðinsko odijelo.

9 In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.

I pohodiæu u taj dan sve koji skaèu preko praga, koji pune kuæu gospodara svojih grabežem i prijevarom.

10 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.

I u taj æe dan, veli Gospod, biti vika od ribljih vrata, i jauk s druge strane, i polom velik s humova.

11 Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone. All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.

Ridajte koji živite u Maktesu, jer izgibe sav narod trgovaèki, istrijebiše se svi koji nose srebro.

12 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."

I u to æu vrijeme razgledati Jerusalim sa žišcima, i pohodiæu ljude koji leže na svojoj droždini, koji govore u srcu svom: Gospod ne èini ni dobro ni zlo.

13 Their wealth will become a spoil, 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.

I blago æe se njihovo razgrabiti i kuæe njihove opustošiti; grade kuæe, ali neæe sjedjeti u njima; i sade vinograde, ali neæe piti vina iz njih.

14 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.

Blizu je veliki dan Gospodnji, blizu je i ide vrlo brzo; glas æe biti dana Gospodnjega, gorko æe tada vikati junak.

15 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,

Taj je dan dan, kada æe biti gnjev, dan, kada æe biti tuga i muka, dan, kada æe biti pustošenje i zatiranje, dan, kada æe biti mrak i tama, dan, kada æe biti oblak i magla,

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

Dan, kada æe biti trubljenje i pokliè na tvrde gradove i na visoke uglove.

17 I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.

I pritijesniæu ljude, te æe iæi kao slijepi, jer zgriješiše Gospodu; i krv æe se njihova prosuti kao prah i tjelesa njihova kao gnoj.

18 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.

Ni srebro njihovo ni zlato njihovo neæe ih moæi izbaviti u dan gnjeva Gospodnjega; i svu æe zemlju proždrijeti oganj revnosti njegove; jer æe brzo uèiniti kraj svjema stanovnicima zemaljskim.
