Zephaniah 2

1 Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.

Saberite se, saberite se, narode nemili,

2 Before brings forth a decree like chaff it has passed away a day before - not it will come on you [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh before not it will come on you [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.

Dok nije izašao sud, i dan prošao kao pljeva, dok nije došao na vas ljuti gnjev Gospodnji, dok nije došao na vas dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.

3 Seek Yahweh O all [the] humble [people] of the land who judgment his they have done seek righteousness seek humility perhaps you will be hidden on [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.

Tražite Gospoda svi koji ste krotki u zemlji, koji èinite što je naredio; tražite pravdu, tražite krotost, eda biste se sakrili na dan gnjeva Gospodnjega.

4 For Gaza abandoned it will be and Ashkelon [will become] a desolation Ashdod at the noontide people will drive out it and Ekron it will be plucked up.

Jer æe se Gaza ostaviti i Askalon æe opustjeti; Azot æe se odagnati u podne i Akaron æe se iskorijeniti.

5 Woe to! [the] inhabitants of [the] region of the sea [the] nation of [the] Kerethites [the] word of Yahweh [is] on you O Canaan [the] land of [the] Philistines and I will destroy you from not inhabitant.

Teško onima koji žive po bregovima morskim, narodu Heretejskom: rijeè je Gospodnja na vas, Hanane, zemljo Filistejska, ja æu te zatrti da ne bude stanovnika u tebi.

6 And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.

I bregovi æe morski biti stanovi i jame pastirske i torovi za stada.

7 And it will belong [the] region to [the] remnant of [the] house of Judah on them they will graze! in [the] houses of Ashkelon in the evening they will lie down! for he will visit them Yahweh God their and he will turn back (captivity their. *Qk)

I taj æe kraj biti ostatku doma Judina; ondje æe pasti; u domovima æe Askalonskim lijegati uveèe; jer æe ih pohoditi Gospod Bog njihov i povratiti roblje njihovo.

8 I have heard [the] reproach of Moab and [the] reviling words of [the] people of Ammon who they have reproached people my and they have magnified themselves on territory their.

Èuo sam rug Moavov i ukore sinova Amonovijeh kojima ružiše moj narod, i raširiše se preko meða njihovijeh.

9 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel that Moab like Sodom it will be and [the] people of Ammon like Gomorrah a place possessed of nettle[s] and a pit of salt and a waste until perpetuity [the] remnant of people my they will plunder them and [the] rest ofK: (nation my *QK) they will take possession of them.

Zato, tako ja bio živ, govori Gospod nad vojskama, Bog Izrailjev, Moav æe biti kao Sodom i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomor, mjesto koprivama, i slanica i vjeèna pustoš: ostatak naroda mojega oplijeniæe ih, i koji ostanu od naroda mojega naslijediæe ih.

10 This [will belong] to them in place of pride their for they reproached and they magnified themselves on [the] people of Yahweh of hosts.

To æe im biti za ponositost njihovu; jer ružiše narod Gospoda nad vojskama i podizaše se na nj.

11 [will be] awesome Yahweh on them if he will make lean all [the] gods of the earth so they may bow down to him everyone from own place his all [the] islands of the nations.

Strašan æe im biti Gospod, jer æe istrijebiti sve bogove zemaljske, i njemu æe se klanjati svaki iz svojega mjesta, sva ostrva narodna.

12 Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.

I vi, Etiopljani, biæete pobijeni maèem mojim.

13 And he may stretch out hand his on [the] north so he may destroy Assyria and he may make Nineveh a waste a dry region like the wilderness.

I dignuæe ruku svoju na sjever, i zatræe Asirsku, i Nineviju æe opustiti da bude suha kao pustinja.

14 And they will lie down in [the] midst of it herds every animal of a nation both desert owl as well as hedgehog on capitals its they will spend [the] night a sound it will sing in the window desolation [will be] on the threshold for cedar-work he will lay bare.

I u njoj æe ležati stada, svakojako zvijerje izmeðu naroda, i gem i æuk noæivaæe na dovratnicima njezinijem; glasom æe pjevati na prozorima; pustoš æe biti na pragovima, jer æe se poskidati kedrovina.

15 This [is] the city jubilant which dwells to security which says in heart its I and only I [am] yet how! - it has become a waste a resting place for animal[s] every [one who] passes by at it he will hiss he will shake hand his.

Taki æe biti veseli grad, koji sjedi bez brige, koji govori u srcu svom: ja sam, i osim mene nema drugoga. Kako opustje! posta loža zvijerju! Ko god proðe mimo nj zviždaæe i mahati rukom.
