1 H1697 The word H3068 of the LORD H6846 which came to Zephaniah H1121 the son H3570 of Cushi, H1121 the son H1436 of Gedaliah, H1121 the son H568 of Amariah, H1121 the son H2396 of Hizkiah, H3117 in the days H2977 of Josiah H1121 the son H526 of Amon, H4428 king H3063 of Judah.

2 H622 [H8800] I will utterly H5486 [H8686] consume H3605 all things H9006 from H5921 upon H6440 the face H9009 of the H127 soil, H5002 [H8803] saith H3068 the LORD.

3 H5486 [H8686] I will consume H120 man H929 and beast; H5486 [H8686] I will consume H5775 the fowls H8064 of the heaven, H1709 and the fishes H3220 of the sea, H4384 and the stumblingblocks H7563 with the wicked; H3772 [H8689] and I will cut off H120 man H6440 from off H127 the soil, H5002 [H8803] saith H3068 the LORD.

4 H5186 [H8804] I will also stretch out H3027 my hand H3063 upon Judah, H3427 [H8802] and upon all the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem; H3772 [H8689] and I will cut off H7605 the remnant H1168 of Baal H4725 from this place, H8034 and the name H3649 of the Chemarims H3548 with the priests;

5 H7812 [H8693] And them that worship H6635 the host H8064 of heaven H1406 upon the housetops; H7812 [H8693] and them that worship H7650 [H8737] and that swear H3068 by the LORD, H7650 [H8737] and that swear H4428 by Malcham;

6 H5472 [H8737] And them that have turned back H310 from H3068 the LORD; H1245 [H8765] and those that have not sought H3068 the LORD, H1875 [H8804] nor enquired for him.

7 H2013 [H8761] Hold thy peace H6440 at the face H136 of the Sovereign H3069 LORD: H3117 for the day H3068 of the LORD H7138 is at hand: H3068 for the LORD H3559 [H8689] hath prepared H2077 a sacrifice, H6942 [H8689] he hath invited H7121 [H8803] his guests.

8 H3117 And it shall come to pass in the day H3068 of the LORD'S H2077 sacrifice, H6485 [H8804] that I will punish H8269 the princes, H4428 and the king's H1121 sons, H3847 [H8802] and all such as are clothed H5237 with foreign H4403 apparel.

9 H3117 In the same day H6485 [H8804] also will I punish H1801 [H8802] all those that leap H4670 on the threshold, H4390 [H8764] who fill H113 their masters' H1004 houses H2555 with violence H4820 and deceit.

10 H3117 And it shall come to pass in that day, H5002 [H8803] saith H3068 the LORD, H6963 that there shall be the noise H6818 of a shriek H1709 from the fish H8179 gate, H3215 and a wailing H4932 from the second, H1419 and a great H7667 crashing H1389 from the hills.

12 H6256 And it shall come to pass at that time, H2664 [H8762] that I will search H3389 Jerusalem H5216 with lamps, H6485 [H8804] and punish H582 the men H7087 [H8802] that are settled H8105 on their lees: H559 [H8802] that say H3824 in their heart, H3068 The LORD H3190 [H8686] will not do good, H7489 [H8686] neither will he do evil.

13 H2428 Therefore their goods H4933 shall become a plunder, H1004 and their houses H8077 a desolation: H1129 [H8804] they shall also build H1004 houses, H3427 [H8799] but not inhabit H5193 [H8804] them; and they shall plant H3754 vineyards, H8354 [H8799] but not drink H3196 the wine of them.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. ² I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD. ³ 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 land, saith the LORD. ⁴ I will also 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 Chemarims with the priests; ⁵ And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham; ⁶ And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him. ⁷ 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 bid his guests. ⁸ And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. ⁹ In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. ¹² And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and 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 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. ¹⁴ 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 shall cry there bitterly. ¹⁵ 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 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ 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 the dung. ¹⁸ 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 even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of the Lord which came to Sophonias the Chusite, the son of Godolias son of Amorias, son of Ezekias in the days of Josias son of Amos king of Juda. ² Let there be a total failure from the face of this land, saith the Lord. ³ Let man and beast perish. Let the birds of the air and the fishes of the sea perish. As for the wicked, they shall be without strength; and I will remove transgressions from the face of this land, saith the Lord. ⁴ I will indeed stretch forth my hand against Juda, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will remove out of this place the names of Baal and the names of her priests; ⁵ and them who worship the host of heaven on the house tops; both those Worshippers and them also who swear by the Lord and who swear also by their king; ⁶ and them who turn aside from the Lord, and them who seek not the Lord, and them who cleave not to him. ⁷ Be struck with awe, at the presence of the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is near at hand. Because the Lord hath prepared his sacrifice and hallowed his guests; ⁸ therefore it shall come to pass in the day of the sacrifice of the Lord, that I will execute vengeance on the chiefs and on the house of the king, and on all them who are clothed with strange apparel. ⁹ And I will punish publicly before the gates, on that day, them who fill the house of the Lord their God with impiety and deceit. ¹⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be a sound of shouting from the gate of the warriors, and a doleful lamentation from the second gate, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Raise the song of Woe, ye who inhabit the stormed city; because all the people are like Chanaan. And they who were elated with silver are to be all cut off. ¹² Therefore it shall come to pass in that day, that I will search Jerusalem with a lamp, and execute vengeance on the men who are despisers; upon their stores. And as for them who say in their hearts, "The Lord will neither do good nor harm, " ¹³ their wealth shall be for plunder; and their houses, for desolation. Though they build houses, they shall not inhabit them; and though they plant vineyards; they shall not drink the wine thereof; ¹⁴ because the great day of the Lord is near; is near and hasting with great speed. The sound of the day of the Lord is bitter, and dreadful things are ordained: ¹⁵ that day will be a mighty day of wrath; a day of tribulation and distress: a day of wasting and desolation; a day of gloom and darkness; a day of clouds and thick darkness; ¹⁶ a day of the trumpet and shouting against the fortified cities and against the lofty towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress upon the men and they shall walk as if blind. Because they have sinned against the Lord, therefore he will pour out their blood like dust and their flesh as dung; ¹⁸ . And their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them, in the day of the indignation of the Lord. By the fire of his zeal the whole land shall be consumed, for he will bring speedy destruction on all the inhabitants of this land.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of the Lord which came to Sophonias the son of Chusi, the son of Godolias, the son of Amorias, the son of Ezekias, in the days of Josias son of Amon, king of Juda. ² Let there be an utter cutting off from the face of the land, saith the Lord. ³ Let man and cattle be cut off; let the birds of the air and the fishes of the sea be cut off; and the ungodly shall fail, and I will take away the transgressors from the face of the land, saith the Lord. ⁴ And I will stretch out mine hand upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will remove the names of Baal out of this place, and the names of the priests; ⁵ and them that worship the host of heaven upon the house-tops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king; ⁶ and them that turn aside from the Lord, and them that seek not the Lord, and them that cleave not to the Lord. ⁷ Fear ye before the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and has sanctified his guests. ⁸ And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will take vengeance on the princes, and on the king's house, and upon all that wear strange apparel. ⁹ And I will openly take vengeance on the porches in that day, on the men that fill the house of the Lord their God with ungodliness and deceit. ¹⁰ And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the sound of a cry from the gate of men slaying, and a howling from the second gate, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Lament, ye that inhabit the city that has been broken down, for all the people has become like Chanaan; and all that were exalted by silver have been utterly destroyed. ¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will search Jerusalem with a candle, and will take vengeance on the men that despise the things committed to them; but they say in their hearts, The Lord will not do any good, neither will he do any evil. ¹³ And their power shall be for a spoil, and their houses for utter desolation; and they shall build houses, but shall not dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine of them. ¹⁴ For the great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and very speedy; the sound of the day of the Lord is made bitter and harsh. ¹⁵ A mighty day of wrath is that day, a day of affliction and distress, a day of desolation and destruction, a day of gloominess and darkness, a day of cloud and vapour, ¹⁶ a day of the trumpet and cry against the strong cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will greatly afflict the men, and they shall walk as blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord; therefore he shall pour out their blood as dust, and their flesh as dung. ¹⁸ And their silver and their gold shall in nowise be able to rescue them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealously; for he will bring a speedy destruction on all them that inhabit the land.

⁷ Hush! because of the Lord Jehovah, For near is a day of Jehovah, For prepared hath Jehovah a sacrifice, He hath sanctified His invited ones. ⁸ And it hath come to pass, In the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah, That I have laid a charge on the heads, And on sons of the king, And on all putting on strange clothing. ⁹ And I have laid a charge on every one Who is leaping over the threshold in that day, Who are filling the house of their masters With violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the Second, And of great destruction from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, ye inhabitants of the hollow place, For cut off hath been all the merchant people, Cut off have been all bearing silver. ¹² And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil. ¹³ And their wealth hath been for a spoil, And their houses for desolation, And they have built houses, and do not inhabit, And they have planted vineyards, And they do not drink their wine.
¹⁴ Near is the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek there doth a mighty one. ¹⁵ A day of wrath is that day, A day of adversity and distress, A day of waste and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness. ¹⁶ A day of trumpet and shouting against the fenced cities, And against the high corners. ¹⁷ And I have sent distress to men, And they have walked as the blind, For against Jehovah they have sinned, And poured out is their blood as dust, And their flesh is as dung. ¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold, Is not able to deliver them in a day of the wrath of Jehovah, And in the fire of His jealousy consumed is the whole land, For only a hastened end doth He make Of all the inhabitants of the land!

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the earth, saith the LORD. ³ 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 earth, saith the LORD. ⁴ And I will stretch out My 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 idolatrous priests with the priests; ⁵ And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, that swear to the LORD and swear by Malcam; ⁶ Them also that are turned back from following the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired after Him. ⁷ 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 consecrated His guests. ⁸ 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 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap over the threshold, that fill their master's house with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And in that day, saith the LORD, Hark! a cry from the fish gate, and a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Wail, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are undone; all they that were laden with silver are cut off. ¹² And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps; 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 Therefore their wealth shall become a booty, 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 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD, wherein the mighty man crieth bitterly. ¹⁵ 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 A day of the horn and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung. ¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of His jealousy; for He will make and end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the earth.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of Yahweh which came unto Zephaniah, son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah,––in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah. ² I will take clean away everything from off the face of the ground, Declareth Yahweh. ³ I will take away man and beast, I will take away the bird of the heavens and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks, even them who are lawless,––and will cut off mankind, from off the face of the ground, Declareth Yahweh. ⁴ And I will stretch out my hand––over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,––and will cut off out of this place, the name of Baal, the name of the priestlings, with the priests; ⁵ And them who bow down upon the housetops to the host of the heavens,––and them who bow down––who swear to Yahweh, and swear by Milcom; ⁶ And them who turn away from following Yahweh,––and have neither sought Yahweh, nor enquired for him.
⁷ Hush! at the presence of My Lord, Yahweh,––for, near, is the day of Yahweh, for Yahweh hath prepared his sacrifice, hath hallowed his guests. ⁸ And it shall come to pass, in the day of Yahweh’s sacrifice, that I will punish the rulers, and the sons of the king,––and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel; ⁹ And I will punish every one who leapeth over the threshold, in that day,––those who fill the house of their lords with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And there shall come to be, in that day, declareth Yahweh, The noise of an outcry from the fish–gate, and of a howling out of the new city,––and of a great crashing, from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, ye inhabitants of the lower city,––because destroyed are all the people of traffic, cut off are all they who were laden with silver. ¹² And it shall come to pass, at that time, that I will search through Jerusalem, with lamps,––and will punish the men who are thickened upon their lees, who are saying in their heart, Yahweh, will not give blessing, neither will he bring calamity. ¹³ Therefore shall their goods become a booty, and their houses, a desolation,––and they shall build houses, but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
¹⁴ Near is the great day of Yahweh, near, and very speedy,––The noise of the day of Yahweh, a strong man––there!––bitterly crying out! ¹⁵ A day of indignation,––that day! day of danger and distress, day of rush, and of crash, day of obscurity, and deep gloom, day of cloud, and thick darkness; ¹⁶ day of horn, and war–shout,––against the fortified cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress to mankind, and they shall walk like them who are blind, because, against Yahweh, have they sinned,––and their blood, shall be poured out, as dust, and their bowels like dung. ¹⁸ Neither their silver nor yet their gold, shall be able to deliver them, in the day of the indignation of Yahweh, but, in the fire of his jealousy, shall the whole earth be consumed; For, a destruction, surely a terrible one, will he make, with all them who dwell in the earth.

I will terminate the flyer of the heavens and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked. And I cut humanity off the surface of the ground, (averring is Yahweh)." ⁴ I stretch out My hand over Judah, and over all dwellers of Jerusalem. And I cut off the name of Baal from this place, and the name of the dervishes with the priests, ⁵ and those worshiping on the house tops to the host of the heavens, and those worshiping--swearing to Yahweh and swearing by their king, ⁶ and those turned away from after Yahweh, who do not seek Yahweh, nor inquire of Him." ⁷ Hist! At the presence of my Lord, Yahweh, for near is the day of Yahweh! For Yahweh prepares a sacrifice; he sanctifies His called ones." ⁸ It comes in the day of Yahweh's sacrifice that I visit evil on the chiefs and on the king's sons, and on all those clothed in foreign clothing." ⁹ And I visit evil on everyone leaping over the sill in that day; those filling the house of Yahweh, their Elohim, with violence and deceit." ¹⁰ There comes in that day, (averring is Yahweh), a sound of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second quarter, and a great breaking from the hills:" ¹¹ Howl, dwellers of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are stilled; all transporters of silver are cut off." ¹² It comes at that season I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I visit evil on the mortals who are curdled on their lees, those saying in their heart, Yahweh will not do good, nor will He do evil." ¹³ Their estate shall come to be robbed goods, and their houses desolation; and they shall build houses, yet shall not dwell in them, and they shall plant vineyards, yet shall not drink their wine." ¹⁴ Near is the great day of Yahweh! Near and exceedingly swift! The sound of the day of Yahweh! The master shall shriek there bitterly. ¹⁵ A day of rage is that day, a day of distress and constraint, a day of futility and futile effort, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of cloud and murkiness, ¹⁶ a day of trumpet and blast against the defended cities, and against the lofty corners." ¹⁷ And I cause distress for humanity, and they go as the blind, for against Yahweh they sin. And their blood shall be poured out as soil, and their intestines as ordure." ¹⁸ Moreover, their silver and their gold, will not be able to rescue them in the day of the rage of Yahweh; and by the fire of His jealousy the entire land shall be devoured; for a finish, yea, a hustled one, shall He make of all dwelling in the land."

MPENDING DOOM
In gathering, I gather all from off the face of the soil - an oracle of Yah Veh. ³ I gather humanity and animal; I gather the flyers of the heavens and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked: and I cut off humanity from the face of the soil - an oracle of Yah Veh. ⁴ And I spread my hand on Yah Hudah and on all the settlers of Yeru Shalem; and I cut off the survivors of Baal from this place; and the name of the ascetics with the priests; ⁵ and they who prostrate to the host of the heavens on the roofs; and they who prostrate and oath by Yah Veh, and oath by Malcham; ⁶ and they who apostatize from Yah Veh - who neither seek Yah Veh nor enquire of him. ⁷ Hush at the face of Adonay Yah Veh: for the day of Yah Veh is nearby: for Yah Veh prepares a sacrifice; he hallows his called ones. ⁸ And so be it, in the day of the sacrifice of Yah Veh, I visit on the governors and on the sons of the sovereign and all such as enrobe with strange robes. ⁹ In the same day, I also visit on all who leap on the threshold - who fill the houses of their adoniym with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And so be it, in that day, - an oracle of Yah Veh the voice of a cry from the fish portal and an howling from the second and a great breaking from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, you settlers of Machtesh, for all the people of Kenaan are cut down; all who bear silver are severed. ¹² And so be it, at that time, I search Yeru Shalem with lamps; and visit on the men who curdle on their dregs - who say in their heart, Yah Veh neither well-pleases nor vilifies. ¹³ And their valuables become a plunder, and their houses a desolation: and they build houses, and settle not; and they plant vineyards, and drink not the wine. ¹⁴
THE GREAT DAY OF YAH VEH
The great day of Yah Veh is near - near and the voice of the day of Yah Veh hastens mightily: the mighty whoop there bitterly: ¹⁵ a day of wrath - that day; a day of tribulation and distress; a day of devastation and ruin; a day of darkness and darkness; a day of clouds and dripping darkness ¹⁶ a day of the shophar and blast against the fortified cities and against the high corners. ¹⁷ And I tribulate humanity and they walk as the blind: because they sin against Yah Veh and pour blood as dust and eat the dung ball. ¹⁸ Even their silver, even their gold cannot rescue them in the day of the wrath of Yah Veh; and in the fire of his jealousy consumes the whole land: for he even works a hasty final finish of all who settle in the land.

16 H3117 a day H7782 of the trumpet H8643 and alarm, H1219 against the fortified H5892 cities, H1364 and against the high H6438 battlements.

17 H6887 I will bring distress H120 on men, H1980 that they will walk H5787 like blind men, H2398 because they have sinned H3068 against Yahweh, H1818 and their blood H8210 will be poured out H6083 like dust, H3894 and their flesh H1561 like dung.

18 H3701 Neither their silver H2091 nor their gold H3201 will be able H5337 to deliver H3117 them in the day H3068 of Yahweh's H5678 wrath, H776 but the whole land H398 will be devoured H784 by the fire H7068 of his jealousy; H6213 for he will make H926 an end, yes, a terrible H3617 end, H3427 of all those who dwell H776 in the land.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ 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. ² I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says the LORD. 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. 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, ⁵ those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Milcom, ⁶ those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven't sought the LORD nor inquired after him. ⁷ 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 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 In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit. 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. ¹¹ Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone. All those who were loaded with silver are cut off. 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." 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. 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. 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, ¹⁶ a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. 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. 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.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah. ² I will utterly consume all things from off the land, said the LORD. ³ I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, said the LORD. ⁴ I will also stretch out my hand on Judah, and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests; ⁵ And them that worship the host of heaven on the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham; ⁶ And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him. ⁷ Hold your peace 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 bid his guests. ⁸ And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. ⁹ In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, said the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Howl, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. ¹² And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and 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 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof. ¹⁴ The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hastens greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. ¹⁵ That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, ¹⁶ A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress on 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 the dung. ¹⁸ 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 even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

2 H5486 I will utterly consume H3605 all H5921 things from off H6440 H127 the land, H5002 said H3068 the LORD.

3 H5486 I will consume H120 man H929 and beast; H5486 I will consume H5775 the fowls H8064 of the heaven, H1709 and the fishes H3220 of the sea, H4384 and the stumbling blocks H7563 with the wicked: H3772 and I will cut H5921 off H6440 H120 man H5921 from off H6440 H127 the land, H5002 said H3068 the LORD.

4 H5186 I will also stretch H3027 out my hand H3063 on Judah, H3605 and on all H3427 the inhabitants H3389 of Jerusalem; H3772 and I will cut H7605 off the remnant H1168 of Baal H2088 from this H4725 place, H8034 and the name H3649 of the Chemarims H3548 with the priests;

6 H5472 And them that are turned H5253 back H3068 from the LORD; H1245 and those that have not sought H3068 the LORD, H3808 nor H1875 inquired for him.

7 H2013 Hold your peace H6440 at the presence H136 of the Lord H3069 GOD: H3117 for the day H3068 of the LORD H7138 is at hand: H3068 for the LORD H3559 has prepared H2077 a sacrifice, H6942 he has bid H7121 his guests.

8 H1961 And it shall come H3117 to pass in the day H3068 of the LORD’s H2077 sacrifice, H6485 that I will punish H8269 the princes, H4428 and the king’s H1121 children, H3605 and all H3847 such as are clothed H5237 with strange H4403 apparel.

9 H1931 In the same H3117 day H6485 also will I punish H3605 all H1801 those that leap H5921 on H4670 the threshold, H4390 which fill H113 their masters’ H1004 houses H2555 with violence H4820 and deceit.

10 H1961 And it shall come H3117 to pass in that day, H5002 said H3068 the LORD, H6963 that there shall be the noise H6818 of a cry H1709 from the fish H8179 gate, H3213 and an howling H4932 from the second, H1419 and a great H7667 crashing H1389 from the hills.

11 H3213 Howl, H3427 you inhabitants H4389 of Maktesh, H3605 for all H3667 the merchant H5971 people H1820 are cut H3605 down; all H5187 they that bear H3701 silver H3772 are cut off.

12 H1961 And it shall come H6256 to pass at that time, H2664 that I will search H3389 Jerusalem H5216 with candles, H6485 and punish H582 the men H7087 that are settled H5921 on H8105 their lees: H559 that say H3824 in their heart, H3068 The LORD H3190 will not do good, H3808 neither H7451 will he do evil.

13 H2428 Therefore their goods H1961 shall become H4933 a booty, H1004 and their houses H8047 a desolation: H1129 they shall also build H1004 houses, H3427 but not inhabit H5193 them; and they shall plant H3754 vineyards, H8354 but not drink H3196 the wine thereof.

15 H3117 That day H3117 is a day H5678 of wrath, H3117 a day H6869 of trouble H4691 and distress, H3117 a day H7722 of devastation H4875 and desolation, H3117 a day H2822 of darkness H653 and gloominess, H3117 a day H6051 of clouds H6205 and thick darkness,

17 H6887 And I will bring distress H120 on men, H1980 that they shall walk H5787 like blind H3588 men, because H2398 they have sinned H3068 against the LORD: H1818 and their blood H8210 shall be poured H6083 out as dust, H3894 and their flesh H1561 as the dung.

18 H3808 Neither H3701 their silver H1571 nor H2091 their gold H3201 shall be able H5337 to deliver H3117 them in the day H3068 of the LORD’s H5678 wrath; H3605 but the whole H776 land H398 shall be devoured H784 by the fire H7068 of his jealousy: H6213 for he shall make H926 even a speedy H3617 riddance H3605 of all H3427 them that dwell H776 in the land.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amoriah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah. ² Let there be an utter cutting off from the face of the land, says the Lord. ³ Let man and cattle be cut off; let the birds of the air and the fish of the sea be cut off; and the ungodly shall fail, and I will take away the transgressors from the face of the land, says the Lord. ⁴ And I will stretch out My hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will remove the names of Baal out of this place, and the names of the priests; ⁵ and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king; ⁶ and them that turn aside from the Lord, and them that seek not the Lord, and them that cleave not to the Lord. ⁷ Be fearful before the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared His sacrifice, and has sanctified His guests. ⁸ And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will take vengeance on the princes, and on the king's house, and upon all that wear strange apparel. ⁹ And I will openly take vengeance on the porches in that day, on the men that fill the house of the Lord their God with ungodliness and deceit. ¹⁰ And there shall be in that day, says the Lord, the sound of a cry from the gate of men slaying, and a howling from the second gate, and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Lament, you that inhabit the city that has been broken down, for all the people have become like Canaan; and all that were exalted by silver have been utterly destroyed. ¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will search Jerusalem with a lamp, and I will take vengeance on the men that despise the things committed to them; but they say in their hearts, The Lord will not do any good, neither will He do any evil. ¹³ And their power shall be for a spoil, and their houses for utter desolation; and they shall build houses, but shall not dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine of them. ¹⁴ For the great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and very speedy; the sound of the day of the Lord is made bitter and harsh. ¹⁵ A mighty day of wrath is that day, a day of affliction and distress, a day of desolation and destruction, a day of gloominess and darkness, a day of clouds and vapor, ¹⁶ a day of the trumpet and cry against the strong cities, and against the high towers. ¹⁷ And I will greatly afflict the men, and they shall walk as blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord; therefore He shall pour out their blood as dust, and their flesh as dung. ¹⁸ And their silver and their gold shall by no means be able to rescue them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of His jealously; for He will bring a speedy destruction on all them that inhabit the land.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ This is the word Jehovah (YHWH) spoke to Zephaniah. Zephaniah was the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, and the great-grandson of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. Jehovah spoke his word in the days of Judah's King Josiah, son of Amon. ² »I will destroy (take away) (remove) (consume) everything on the face of the earth!« declared Jehovah. (Zephaniah 2:3) ³ »I will terminate both man and beast. I will put an end to the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea. I will eliminate the sins that make people fall, together with the sinners. I will remove people from the face of the earth,« declared Jehovah. ⁴ »I will use my power against Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will destroy followers of Baal in this place. I will remove the names of the pagan (idolatrous) priests along with my priests. ⁵ »I will remove those who bow down to worship the host of heaven on the housetops and those who bow down and swear to Jehovah and yet swear by Malcolm. ⁶ »The same for those who have turned back from following Jehovah, and those who have not sought Jehovah or inquired of Him.« ⁷ Be silent before the Sovereign Lord Jehovah! For the day of Jehovah is near! Jehovah has prepared a sacrifice. He has sanctified His guests. ⁸ »On that day of Jehovah’s sacrifice,« said Jehovah, »I will punish the officials, the king's sons, and all who practice foreign customs. ⁹ »I will punish all who worship false gods and who steal and kill in order to fill their master's house with violence.« ¹⁰ »On that day,« said Jehovah, »you will hear the sound of crying at the Fish Gate in Jerusalem. You will hear wailing in the newer part of the city and a loud crash from the hills. ¹¹ »Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh! The people of Canaan have perished. Those wealthy with silver will be destroyed. ¹² »At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps. I will punish the men that are satisfied with their wayward lifestyle. They say in their heart, ‘Jehovah will not do good and he will not do evil.’ ¹³ »Their wealth will be looted. Their homes will be demolished. They will build houses. However they will not live in them! They will plant vineyards. But they will not drink their wine! ¹⁴ »The great Day of Jehovah is near. It is near and coming quickly. Listen! The mighty man will cry out bitterly on the Day of Jehovah. ¹⁵ »That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish. That day will be a day of trouble, devastation and desolation! It will be a day of darkness and gloom. Indeed that day will be a day of clouds and overcast skies. ¹⁶ »That day will be a day of alarm signals and battle cries against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers. ¹⁷ »I will bring distress on humans and they will walk like they are blind! They have sinned against Jehovah! Their blood will be poured out like dust and their intestines like manure. ¹⁸ »Their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the Day of Jehovah’s anger (rage) (wrath).

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Imminent Destruction of Judah This message from the LORD came to Cushi’s son Zephaniah, the grandson of Gedaliah and great-grandson of Hezekiah’s son Amariah, during the reign of Amon’s son Josiah, king of Judah: ² “I’ll utterly sweep away everything from the land,” declares the LORD. ³ “I’ll consume both human beings and animals— I’ll consume the birds of the sky, the fish in the sea, and the wicked along with their sin, when I eliminate human beings from the land,” declares the LORD. ⁴ “I will also stretch out my hand against Judah, and upon all inhabitants of Jerusalem. I’ll wipe out every trace of Baal from this place, and the name of the pagan priests, along with my own priests. ⁵ I’ll wipe out those who worship the stars that they view from their housetops, those who bow down and swear to the LORD and who also swear by Milcom, ⁶ those who turn away from the LORD, don’t seek the LORD, and never ask for his help.”
The Approaching Day of the LORD ⁷ Remain silent in the presence of the Lord GOD, because the Day of the LORD approaches, and because the LORD has prepared a sacrifice for those whom he has invited to be consecrated. ⁸ “It will come about during the LORD’s sacrifice that I’ll punish the officials, the royal descendants, and all who wear foreign clothing. ⁹ At the same time, I’ll punish every idol worshipper, especially those who are filling their master’s temple with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ When all of this happens,” declares the LORD, “a loud shriek will come from the Fish Gate, and howling from the Mishneh Quarter, along with great destruction from the hills.”
Divine Judgment on the Business Community ¹¹ “Wail, you who live in the market district, because all of the merchants will be crushed and all of their customers will be eliminated. ¹² And it will come about that I will search Jerusalem with candles, punishing the self-satisfied and complacent, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do neither good nor evil.’ ¹³ Therefore their possessions will be seized as plunder and their homes left in ruins. They may build houses, but they won’t live in them. They may plant vineyards, but they won’t drink their wine.”
Zephaniah’s Description of the Day of the LORD ¹⁴ “The great Day of the LORD approaches— How it comes, hurrying faster and faster! The sound of the Day of the LORD there includes the bitter cry of the mighty soldier. ¹⁵ That day will be filled with wrath, a day of trouble and tribulation, a day of desolation and devastation, a day of doom and gloom, a day of clouds and shadows, ¹⁶ a day of trumpet and battle cry against fortified cites and watch towers. ¹⁷ “And I’ll bring so much distress to people that they will walk around like the blind. Because they have sinned against the LORD, their blood will be poured out like dust and their intestines will spill out like manure. ¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold will deliver them in the Day of the LORD’s wrath; but the entire land will be consumed by the fire of his jealousy, for he will bring the inhabitants of the land to a sudden end.”

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The word of Yahweh that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah. ² "I will surely destroy everything from the face of the earth"—a declaration of Yahweh. ³ "I will destroy humanity and beast; I will destroy the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks* with the wicked. And I will cut off humankind from the face of the earth"—a declaration of Yahweh. ⁴ "And I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal, and the name of idolatrous priests with the priests,* ⁵ and those who bow down on the rooftops to the host of heaven, and those who bow down, swearing to Yahweh but also swearing by Milkom,* ⁶ and those who turned back from _⌊following_⌋* Yahweh, and who did not seek Yahweh, and did not inquire of him." ⁷ Be silent before the Lord Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh draws near, for Yahweh has provided a sacrifice and has consecrated his guests. ⁸ And it shall be that on the day of the sacrifice of Yahweh, I will punish the officials and the sons of the king and those who dress in foreign clothing. ⁹ And on that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill up the house of their master with violence and deceit. ¹⁰ "And there shall be on that day"—a declaration of Yahweh— "a _⌊loud outcry_⌋* from the Fish Gate, and a wailing from the Second District, and a loud* crashing from the hills. ¹¹ The inhabitants of the Mortar shall wail, for all the traders have perished; all who trade with silver have been cut off. ¹² And it shall be that at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men _⌊whose senses are dulled from drinking_⌋,* who say in their hearts, 'Yahweh will not do good, nor will he do evil.' ¹³ Then their wealth shall be as plunder, and their homes as desolation. And they shall build their houses and not inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards and not drink their wine." ¹⁴ The great day of Yahweh draws near; it is near and coming very swiftly. The sound of the day of Yahweh is bitterness; there, a warrior cries out! ¹⁵ That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of disaster and ruination, a day of darkness and deep gloom, a day of clouds* and thick clouds,* ¹⁶ a day of trumpet and trumpet blast against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers. ¹⁷ And I will bring distress to all humankind, and they shall walk about like the blind, for they sinned against Yahweh; their blood shall be poured out like dust and their entrails like dung. ¹⁸ Moreover, their silver and their gold will not be able to save them on the day of the wrath of Yahweh. And in the fire of his zeal, the whole land shall be consumed, for a terrifying end he shall make for all the inhabitants of the land.

They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine. ¹⁴ The great Day of the LORD is near—near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter. ¹⁵ That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness, ¹⁶ a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers. ¹⁷ I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD.

¹⁰ And in that day, says Jehovah, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate and a wailing from the second quarter and a great crashing from the hills. ¹¹ Wail, you* inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone. All those who were laden with silver are cut off.
¹² And it will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and I will punish the men who are settled on their lees, who say in their heart, Jehovah will not do good, nor will he do evil. ¹³ And their wealth will become a spoil and their houses a desolation.

Denn der HERR hat ein Schlachtopfer zubereitet und seine Gäste dazu geladen. ⁸ Und am Tage des Schlachtopfers des HERRN will ich heimsuchen die Fürsten und des Königs Kinder und alle, die ein fremd Kleid tragen. ⁹ Auch will ich zur selbigen Zeit die heimsuchen, so über die Schwelle springen, die ihrer HERREN Haus füllen mit Rauben und Trügen. ¹⁰ Zur selbigen Zeit, spricht der HERR, wird sich ein laut Geschrei erheben von dem Fischtor an und ein Geheul von dem andern Tor und ein großer Jammer auf den Hügeln. ¹¹ Heulet, die ihr in der Mühle wohnet! Denn das ganze Krämervolk ist dahin, und alle, die Geld sammeln, sind ausgerottet. ¹² Zur selbigen Zeit will ich Jerusalem mit Laternen durchsuchen und will heimsuchen die Leute, die auf ihren Hefen liegen und sprechen in ihrem Herzen: Der HERR wird weder Gutes noch Böses tun. ¹³ Und sollen ihre Güter zum Raube werden und ihre Häuser zur Wüste. Sie werden Häuser bauen und nicht drinnen wohnen; sie werden Weinberge pflanzen und keinen Wein davon trinken. ¹⁴ Denn des HERRN großer Tag ist nahe; er ist nahe und eilet sehr. Wenn das Geschrei vom Tage des HERRN kommen wird, so werden die Starken alsdann bitterlich schreien. ¹⁵ Denn dieser Tag ist ein Tag des Grimmes, ein Tag der Trübsal und Angst, ein Tag des Wetters und Ungestüms, ein Tag der Finsternis und Dunkels, ein Tag der Wolken und Nebel, ¹⁶ ein Tag der Posaunen und Trommeten wider die festen Städte und hohen Schlösser. ¹⁷ Ich will den Leuten bange machen, daß sie umhergehen sollen wie die Blinden, darum daß sie wider den HERRN gesündiget haben. Ihr Blut soll vergossen werden, als wäre es Staub, und ihr Leib, als wäre es Kot. ¹⁸ Es wird sie ihr Silber und Gold nicht erretten mögen am Tage des Zorns des HERRN, sondern das ganze Land soll durch das Feuer seines Eifers verzehret werden; denn er wird's plötzlich ein Ende machen mit allen, die im Lande wohnen.

16 H3117 ein Tag H7782 der Posaunen H1219 und Trommeten wider die festen H5892 Städte H1364 und hohen H6438 Schlösser .

17 H120 Ich will den Leuten H6887 bange machen H1980 , daß sie umhergehen sollen H5787 wie die Blinden H3068 , darum daß sie wider den HErrn H2398 gesündiget haben H1818 . Ihr Blut H8210 soll vergossen H6083 werden, als wäre es Staub H3894 , und ihr Leib H1561 , als wäre es Kot .

2 H3605 Ik zal H622 H8800 ganselijk H3605 alles H5486 H8686 wegrapen H4480 H5921 H6440 uit H127 dit land H5002 H8803 , spreekt H3068 de HEERE.

3 H5486 H8686 Ik zal wegrapen H120 mensen H929 en beesten H5486 H8686 ; Ik zal wegrapen H5775 de vogelen H8064 des hemels H1709 , en de vissen H3220 der zee H4384 , en de ergernissen H7563 met de goddelozen H120 ; ja, Ik zal de mensen H4480 H5921 H6440 uit H127 dit land H3772 H8689 uitroeien H5002 H8803 , spreekt H3068 de HEERE.

4 H3027 En Ik zal Mijn hand H5186 H8804 uitstrekken H5921 tegen H3063 Juda H5921 , en tegen H3605 alle H3427 H8802 inwoners H3389 van Jeruzalem H4480 ; en Ik zal uit H2088 deze H4725 plaats H3772 H8689 uitroeien H7605 het overblijfsel H1168 van Baal H8034 , [en] den naam H3649 der Chemarim H5973 met H3548 de priesters;

5 H7812 H8693 En die zich nederbuigen H5921 op H1406 de daken H6635 voor het heir H8064 des hemels H7812 H8693 , en die zich nederbuigende H7650 H8737 zweren H3068 bij den HEERE H7650 H8737 , en zweren H4428 bij Malcham;

6 H5472 H8737 En die terugkeren H4480 van H310 achter H3068 den HEERE H834 ; en die H3068 den HEERE H3808 niet H1245 H8765 zoeken H1875 H8804 , en vragen H3808 naar Hem niet.

7 H2013 H8761 Zwijgt H4480 voor H6440 het aangezicht H136 des Heeren H3069 HEEREN H3588 ; want H3117 de dag H3068 des HEEREN H7138 is nabij H3588 ; want H3068 de HEERE H2077 heeft een slachtoffer H3559 H8689 bereid H7121 H8803 , Hij heeft Zijn genoden H6942 H8689 geheiligd.

8 H1961 H8804 En het zal geschieden H3117 in den dag H2077 van het slachtoffer H3068 des HEEREN H6485 H8804 , dat Ik bezoeking zal doen H5921 over H8269 de vorsten H5921 , en over H1121 de kinderen H4428 des konings H5921 , en over H3605 allen H3847 H8802 , die zich kleden H5237 met vreemde H4403 kleding.

11 H3213 H8685 Huilt H3427 H8802 , gij inwoners H4389 der laagte H3588 ! Want H3605 al H5971 het volk H3667 van koophandel H1820 H8738 is uitgehouwen H3605 , al H5187 H3701 de gelddragers H3772 H8738 zijn uitgeroeid.

12 H1961 H8804 En het zal geschieden H1931 te dien H6256 tijde H3389 , Ik zal Jeruzalem H5216 met lantaarnen H2664 H8762 doorzoeken H6485 H8804 ; en Ik zal bezoeking doen H5921 over H582 de mannen H7087 H8802 , die stijf geworden zijn H5921 op H8105 hun droesem H3824 , die in hun hart H559 H8802 zeggen H3068 : De HEERE H3808 doet geen H3190 H8686 goed H3808 , en Hij doet geen H7489 H8686 kwaad.

13 H2428 Daarom zal hun vermogen H4933 ten roof H1961 H8804 worden H1004 , en hun huizen H8077 tot verwoesting H1129 H8804 ; zij bouwen H1004 wel huizen H3808 , maar zij zullen ze niet H3427 H8799 bewonen H5193 H8804 ; en zij planten H3754 wijngaarden H3196 , maar zij zullen derzelver wijn H3808 niet H8354 H8799 drinken.

14 H1419 De grote H3117 dag H3068 des HEEREN H7138 is nabij H7138 ; hij is nabij H3966 , en zeer H4118 haastende H6963 ; de stem H3117 van den dag H3068 des HEEREN H1368 ; de held H8033 zal aldaar H4751 bitterlijk H6873 H8802 schreeuwen.

17 H120 En Ik zal de mensen H6887 H8689 bang maken H1980 H8804 , dat zij zullen gaan H5787 als de blinden H3588 ; want H3068 zij hebben tegen den HEERE H2398 H8804 gezondigd H1818 ; en hun bloed H8210 H8795 zal vergoten worden H6083 als stof H3894 , en hun vlees H1561 zal worden als drek.

18 H1571 Noch H3701 hun zilver H1571 , noch H2091 hun goud H3808 H3201 H8799 zal hen kunnen H5337 H8687 redden H3117 ten dage H5678 der verbolgenheid H3068 des HEEREN H784 ; maar door het vuur H7068 Zijns ijvers H3605 zal dit ganse H776 land H398 H8735 verteerd worden H3588 ; want H3617 Hij zal een voleinding H6213 H8799 maken H389 , gewisselijk H926 H8737 , een haastige H3605 , met al H3427 H8802 de inwoners H776 dezes lands.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Parole du Seigneur, qui vint à Sophonie, fils de Chusi, fils de Godolias, fils d’Amorias, fils d’Ézécias, durant les jours de Josias, fils d’Amon, roi de Juda. ² Que toute chose tombe de défaillance sur la face de la terre, dit le Seigneur. ³ Que l’homme et les bêtes disparaissent; que disparaissent les oiseaux du ciel et les poissons de la mer; et les impies seront sans force, et Je chasserai les pécheurs de la face de la terre, dit le Seigneur. ⁴ Et J’étendrai Ma main sur Juda et sur les habitants de Jérusalem; et J’effacerai de ce lei les noms de Baal et de ses prêtres, ⁵ et ceux qui adorent sur leurs terrasses l’armée du ciel, et se prosternent en jurant par le Seigneur, et ceux qui jurent par leur roi, ⁶ et ceux qui s’éloignent du Seigneur, et ceux qui ne cherchent pas le Seigneur, et ceux qui ne s’attachent pas au Seigneur. ⁷ ¶ Craignez la face du Seigneur Dieu; car le jour du Seigneur est proche, et le Seigneur a préparé Sa victoire, et Il a sanctifié Ses convives. ⁸ Et il arrivera que, le jour du sacrifice du Seigneur, Je tirerai vengeance des princes et de la maison du roi, et de tous ceux qui ont porté des vêtements étrangers. ⁹ Et ce jour-là Je tirerai dans les parvis une vengeance éclatante de ceux qui remplissent d’impiété et de fraude le temple du Seigneur leur Dieu. ¹⁰ Et ce jour-là, dit le Seigneur, il y aura des cris à la porte des Assaillants, des hurlements à la seconde porte, et de grands brisements de cœur sur les collines. ¹¹ Pleurez, vous qui habitez cette ville abattue; car tout le peuple est devenu comme Chanaan, et tous ceux qui se glorifiaient de leur argent ont été exterminés. ¹² Et en ce jour-là, Je chercherai Jérusalem la lampe à la main, et Je tirerai vengeance des hommes qui méprisent Mes commandements, et qui disent en leur cœur: Le Seigneur ne fera pas de bien, Il ne fera pas de mal. ¹³ Leur richesse sera mise au pillage, et leurs maisons en ruines. Ils se bâtiront des demeures, et ils ne les habiteront pas; ils planteront des vignes, et ils n’en boiront pas le vin. ¹⁴ ¶ Car le grand jour du Seigneur est proche; il est proche, il accourt. Le bruit du jour du Seigneur est lamentable et terrible. ¹⁵ Le jour de Sa colère est un grand jour; ce jour-là est un jour d’affliction et de calamité; c’est un jour d’angoisse et d’extermination, un jour d’ombre et de ténèbres, un jour de nuages et de vapeurs. ¹⁶ En ce jour-là, sur les villes fortes et sur les cimes élevées, les cris et les trompettes retentissent. ¹⁷ Et J’écraserai tous les hommes, et ils marcheront comme des aveugles; car ils ont péché contre le Seigneur; et Il répandra leur sang comme la poussière, et leurs chairs comme le fumier. ¹⁸ Et au jour de la colère du Seigneur, ni leur argent ni leur or ne pourront les sauver; et, dans le feu de Son zèle, toute la terre périra, car Il aura hâte d’exterminer jusqu’au dernier de tous ceux qui l’habitent.

La parole de l'Éternel qui vint à Sophonie, fils de Cushi, fils de Guedalia, fils d'Amaria, fils d'Ézéchias, dans les jours de Josias, fils d'Amon, roi de Juda. ² J'ôterai, j'enlèverai tout de dessus la face de la terre, dit l'Éternel. ³ Je détruirai les hommes et les bêtes, je détruirai les oiseaux des cieux et les poissons de la mer, et les pierres d'achoppement avec les méchants, et je retrancherai l'homme de dessus la face de la terre, dit l'Éternel. ⁴ Et j'étendrai ma main sur Juda et sur tous les habitants de Jérusalem; et je retrancherai de ce lieu le reste de Baal et le nom des Camarim avec les sacrificateurs; ⁵ et ceux qui se prosternent sur les toits devant l'armée des cieux, et ceux qui se prosternent devant l'Éternel, qui jurent par lui et qui jurent par leur roi; ⁶ et ceux qui se détournent de l'Éternel, et ceux qui ne cherchent pas l'Éternel et ne s'enquièrent pas de lui. ⁷
Fais silence, devant le Seigneur, l'Éternel! car le jour de l'Éternel est proche; car l'Éternel a préparé un sacrifice, il a sanctifié ses conviés. ⁸ Et il arrivera, au jour du sacrifice de l'Éternel, que je punirai les princes et les fils du roi, et tous ceux qui se vêtent de vêtements étrangers. ⁹ Et je punirai, en ce jour-là, tous ceux qui sautent par-dessus le seuil, ceux qui remplissent la maison de leur seigneur de violence et de fraude. ¹⁰ Et il y aura, en ce jour-là, dit l'Éternel, le bruit d'un cri venant de la porte des poissons, et un hurlement venant du second quartier de la ville, et un grand fracas venant des collines. ¹¹ Hurlez, habitants de Mactesh, car tout le peuple de Canaan sera détruit, tous ceux qui sont chargés d'argent seront exterminés. ¹² Et il arrivera, en ce temps-là, que je fouillerai Jérusalem avec des lampes; et je punirai les hommes qui reposent sur leurs lies, -qui disent dans leur coeur: L'Éternel ne fera ni bien ni mal. ¹³ Et leurs biens deviendront une proie, et leurs maisons, une désolation, et ils bâtiront des maisons et ne les habiteront pas, et il planteront des vignes et n'en boiront pas le vin. ¹⁴
Le grand jour de l'Éternel est proche; il est proche et se hâte beaucoup. La voix du jour de l'Éternel: l'homme vaillant poussera là des cris amers. ¹⁵ Ce jour est un jour de fureur, un jour de détresse et d'angoisse, un jour de dévastation et de ruine, un jour de ténèbres et d'obscurité, un jour de nuées et d'épaisses ténèbres, ¹⁶ un jour de trompette et de retentissement contre les villes fortifiées et contre les créneaux élevés. ¹⁷ Et je ferai venir la détresse sur les hommes, et ils marcheront comme des aveugles; car ils ont péché contre l'Éternel; et leur sang sera répandu comme de la poussière, et leur chair comme de la fiente; ¹⁸ leur argent ni leur or ne pourra les délivrer au jour de la fureur de l'Éternel; et par le feu de sa jalousie tout le pays sera dévoré, car il consumera, oui, il détruira subitement tous les habitants du pays.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ C'est ici la parole de l'Eternel qui fut adressée à Sophonie fils de Cusi, fils de Guédalia, fils d'Amaria, fils d'Ezéchias, du temps de Josias fils d'Amon Roi de Juda. ² Je ferai entièrement périr toutes choses de dessus cette terre, dit l'Eternel. ³ Je ferai périr l'homme et le bétail; je consumerai les oiseaux des cieux, et les poissons de la mer; et les ruines arriveront aux méchants, et je retrancherai les hommes de dessus cette terre, dit l'Eternel. ⁴ J'étendrai ma main sur Juda, et sur tous les habitants de Jérusalem; je retrancherai de ce lieu-ci le reste des Bahalins, et les noms des prêtres des faux dieux, et les sacrificateurs; ⁵ Et ceux qui se prosternent sur les toits devant l'armée des cieux, et ceux qui se prosternent devant l'Eternel, jurent par lui, et qui jurent aussi par Malcam : ⁶ Et ceux qui se détournent de l'Eternel, et ceux qui n'ont point cherché l'Eternel, qui ne l'ont point recherché. ⁷ Tais-toi, à cause de la présence du Seigneur l'Eternel, car la journée de l'Eternel est proche; l'Eternel a préparé le sacrifice, il a invité ses conviés. ⁸ Et il arrivera au jour du sacrifice de l'Eternel que je punirai les Seigneurs, et les enfants du Roi, et tous ceux qui s'habillent de vêtements étrangers. ⁹ Et je punirai en ce jour-là tous ceux qui sautent par-dessus le seuil, et ceux qui remplissent de violence et de fraude la maison de leurs maîtres. ¹⁰ Et en ce jour-là dit l'Eternel, il y aura de grands cris vers la porte des poissons, et des hurlements vers la seconde ville, et une grande désolation vers les coteaux. ¹¹ Vous qui habitez dans Mactès, hurlez; car tous ceux qui trafiquaient ont été défaits, et tous ceux qui apportaient de l'argent, ont été retranchés. ¹² Et il arrivera en ce temps-là, que je fouillerai Jérusalem avec des lampes, que je punirai les hommes qui sont figés sur leurs lies, et qui disent en leurs coeurs; L'Eternel ne nous fera ni bien ni mal. ¹³ Et leurs biens seront au pillage, et leurs maisons en désolation, et ils auront bâti des maisons, mais ils n'y habiteront point; et ils auront planté des vignes, mais ils n'en boiront pas le vin. ¹⁴ La grande journée de l'Eternel est proche, elle est proche, et elle se hâte fort; la journée de l'Eternel n'est que bruit; celui qui est en amertume, crie de toute sa force; Là sont les hommes forts. ¹⁵ Cette journée-là est une journée de fureur, une journée de détresse et d'angoisse, une journée de bruit éclatant et effrayant, une journée de ténèbres et d'obscurité, une journée de nuées et de brouillards; ¹⁶ Une journée de cornet et d'alarme contre les villes munies, et contre les hautes tours. ¹⁷ Je mettrai les hommes dans la détresse, et ils marcheront comme des aveugles, parce qu'ils ont péché contre l'Eternel; et leur sang sera répandu comme de la poussière, et leur chair comme de la fiente. ¹⁸ Ni leur argent ni leur or ne les pourront point délivrer en la journée de la fureur de l'Eternel; et tout ce pays sera dévoré par le feu de sa jalousie; car il se hâtera de consumer tous les habitants de ce pays.

SE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Palabra del SEÑOR que fue a Sofonías hijo de Cusi, hijo de Gedalías, hijo de Amarías, hijo de Ezequías, en días de Josías hijo de Amón, rey de Judá. ² Destruiré del todo todas las cosas de sobre la faz de la tierra, dice el SEÑOR. ³ Destruiré los hombres y las bestias; destruiré las aves del cielo, y los peces del mar, y los impíos tropezarán; y talaré a los hombres de sobre la faz de la tierra, dice el SEÑOR. ⁴ Y extenderé mi mano sobre Judá, y sobre todos los moradores de Jerusalén, y talaré de este lugar el remanente de Baal, y el nombre de sus religiosos con sus sacerdotes; ⁵ y a los que se inclinan sobre los terrados al ejército del cielo; y a los que se inclinan jurando por el SEÑOR y jurando por su rey; ⁶ y a los que se tornan atrás de en pos del SEÑOR; y a los que no buscaron al SEÑOR, ni preguntaron por él. ⁷ Calla delante de la presencia del Señor DIOS, porque el día del SEÑOR está cercano; porque el SEÑOR ha aparejado sacrificio, prevenido a sus convidados. ⁸ Y será que en el día del sacrificio del SEÑOR, haré visitación sobre los príncipes, y sobre los hijos del rey, y sobre todos los que visten vestido extraño. ⁹ Y en aquel día haré visitación sobre todos los que saltan la puerta, los que llenan de robo y de engaño las casas de sus señores. ¹⁰ Y habrá en aquel día, dice el SEÑOR, voz de clamor desde la puerta del pescado, y aullido desde la escuela, y gran quebrantamiento desde los collados. ¹¹ Aullad, moradores de Mactes, porque todo el pueblo mercader es destruido; talados son todos los que os traían dinero. ¹² Y será en aquel tiempo, que yo escudriñaré a Jerusalén con candiles, y haré visitación sobre los hombres que están sentados sobre sus heces, los cuales dicen en su corazón: El SEÑOR ni hará bien ni mal. ¹³ Será por tanto, saqueada su hacienda, y sus casas asoladas; y edificarán casas, mas no las habitarán; y plantarán viñas, mas no beberán el vino de ellas. ¹⁴ Cercano está el día grande del SEÑOR, cercano y muy presuroso; voz amarga del día del SEÑOR; gritará allí el valiente. ¹⁵ Día de ira aquel día, día de angustia y de aprieto, día de alboroto y de asolamiento, día de tiniebla y de oscuridad, día de nublado y de entenebrecimiento, ¹⁶ Día de trompeta y de algazara, sobre las ciudades fuertes, y sobre las torres altas. ¹⁷ Y atribularé a los hombres, y andarán como ciegos, porque pecaron contra el SEÑOR; y la sangre de ellos será derramada como polvo, y su carne como estiércol. ¹⁸ Ni su plata ni su oro los podrá librar en el día de la ira del SEÑOR; porque toda la tierra será consumida con el fuego de su celo; porque ciertamente consumación apresurada hará con todos los moradores de la tierra.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Fjala e Zotit që iu drejtua Sofonias, birit të Kushit, bir i Gedaliahut, bir i Amariahut, bir i Ezekias, në ditët e Josias, birit të Amonit, mbret i Judës. ² "Unë do të zhduk krejt çdo gjë nga faqja e dheut", thotë Zoti. ³ "Do të zhduk njerëz dhe kafshë, do të zhduk zogjtë e qiellit dhe peshqit e detit, shkaqet e mëkatit së bashku me të pabesët dhe do të shfaros njeriun nga faqja e dheut", thotë Zoti. ⁴ "Do të shtrij dorën time kundër Judës dhe kundër të gjithë banorëve të Jeruzalemit dhe do të shfaros nga ky vend mbeturinat e Baalit, emrin e priftërinjve idhujtarë, bashkë me priftërinjtë, ⁵ ata të cilët bien përmbys mbi tarraca përpara ushtrisë së qiellit, ata që bien përmbys duke iu betuar Zotit, por duke iu betuar edhe Malkamit, ⁶ ata që largohen nga Zoti dhe ata që nuk e kërkojnë Zotin dhe nuk e konsultojnë. ⁷ Rri në heshtje para Zotit, Zotit, sepse dita e Zotit është e afërt, sepse Zoti ka përgatitur një flijim, ka shenjtëruar të ftuarit e tij. ⁸ Ditën e flijimit të Zotit do të ndodhë që unë do të ndëshkoj princat, bijtë e mbretit dhe tërë ata që mbajnë veshje të huajsh. ⁹ Po atë ditë do të ndëshkoj tërë ata që hidhen mbi prag, që mbushin me dhunë dhe mashtrim shtëpitë e zotërve të tyre. ¹⁰ Atë ditë", thotë Zoti, "do të ngrihet një britmë nga porta e peshqve, një klithmë nga lagja e dytë dhe një zhurmë e madhe nga kodrat. ¹¹ Ulërini, o banorë të Makteshit, sepse tërë populli i tregtarëve është asgjësuar, tërë ata të ngarkuar me para janë shfarosur. ¹² Në atë kohë do të ndodhë që unë do të kontrolloj Jeruzalemin me llampa dhe do të ndëshkoj njerëzit që, duke qëndruar në llumin e tyre, thonë në zemër të tyre: "Zoti nuk bën as të mirë as të keq". ¹³ Prandaj pasuritë e tyre do të bëhen plaçkë lufte dhe shtëpitë e tyre do të shkretohen. Do të ndërtojnë shtëpi, do të mbjellin vreshta, por nuk do pinë verën e tyre". ¹⁴ Dita e Zotit është e afërt, është e afërt dhe po vjen me shpejtësi të madhe. Zhurma e ditës së Zotit është e hidhur; atëherë njeriu trim do të këlthasë fort. ¹⁵ Ajo ditë është një ditë zemërimi, një ditë mjerimi dhe ankthi, një ditë shkatërrimi dhe shkretie, një ditë terri dhe mjegulle, një ditë resh dhe errësire të thellë, ¹⁶ një ditë zhurmimi të borisë dhe alarmi kundër qyteteve të fortifikuara dhe kullave të larta. ¹⁷ Unë do të sjell fatkeqësinë mbi njerëzit dhe ata do të ecin si të verbër, sepse kanë mëkatuar kundër Zotit; gjaku i tyre do të shpërndahet si pluhur dhe mishi i tyre si jashtëqitje. ¹⁸ As argjendi i tyre as ari i tyre nuk do të mund t'i çlirojnë ditën e zemërimit të Zotit; përkundrazi tërë vendi do të gllabërohet nga zjarri i xhelozisë së tij, sepse ai do të kryejë me siguri një shkatërrim të plotë të të gjithë banorëve të vendit.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Слово Господне, которое было к Софонии, сыну Хусия, сыну Годолии, сыну Амории, сыну Езекии, во дни Иосии, сына Амонова, царя Иудейского. ² Все истреблю с лица земли, говорит Господь: ³ истреблю людей и скот, истреблю птиц небесных и рыб морских, и соблазны вместе с нечестивыми; истреблю людей с лица земли, говорит Господь. ⁴ И простру руку Мою на Иудею и на всех жителей Иерусалима: истреблю с места сего остатки Ваала, имя жрецов со священниками, ⁵ и тех, которые на кровлях поклоняются воинству небесному, и тех поклоняющихся, которыеклянутся Господом и клянутся царем своим, ⁶ и тех, которые отступили от Господа, не искали Господа и не вопрошали о Нем. ⁷ Умолкни пред лицем Господа Бога! ибо близок день Господень: уже приготовил Господь жертвенное заклание, назначил, кого позвать. ⁸ И будет в день жертвы Господней: Я посещу князей и сыновей царяи всех, одевающихся в одежду иноплеменников; ⁹ посещу в тот день всех, которые перепрыгивают через порог, которые дом Господа своего наполняют насилием и обманом. ¹⁰ И будет в тот день, говорит Господь, вопль у ворот рыбных ирыдание у других ворот и великое разрушение на холмах. ¹¹ Рыдайте, жители нижней части города, ибо исчезнет весь торговый народ и истреблены будут обремененныесеребром. ¹² И будет в то время: Я со светильником осмотрю Иерусалим и накажу тех, которые сидят на дрожжах своих и говорят в сердце своем: „не делаетГосподь ни добра, ни зла". ¹³ И обратятся богатства их в добычу и домы их – в запустение; они построят домы, а жить в них не будут, насадят виноградники, а вина из них небудут пить. ¹⁴ Близок великий день Господа, близок, и очень поспешает: уже слышен голос дня Господня; горько возопиет тогда и самый храбрый! ¹⁵ День гнева – день сей, день скорби и тесноты, день опустошенияи разорения, день тьмы и мрака, день облака и мглы, ¹⁶ день трубы и бранного крика против укрепленных городов и высоких башен. ¹⁷ И Я стесню людей, и они будут ходить, как слепые, потому что они согрешили против Господа, и разметана будеткровь их, как прах, и плоть их – как помет. ¹⁸ Ни серебро их, ни золото их не может спасти их в день гнева Господа, и огнем ревности Его пожрана будет вся эта земля, ибоистребление, и притом внезапное, совершит Он над всеми жителями земли.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ГОСПОДНОТО слово, което беше към Софония, сина на Хусий, син на Годолия, син на Амария, син на Езекия, в дните на юдовия цар Йосия, сина на Амон: ² Напълно ще погубя всичко от лицето на земята, заявява ГОСПОД. ³ Ще погубя човек и животно, ще погубя въздушните птици и морските риби, и идолите за препъване заедно с безбожните; и ще изтребя човека от лицето на земята, заявява ГОСПОД. ⁴ И ще простра ръката Си върху Юда и върху всичките жители на Ерусалим и ще изтребя от това място остатъка на Ваал и името на жреците заедно със свещениците, ⁵ и онези, които се кланят по покривите на небесното войнство; и онези, които се кланят и се кълнат в ГОСПОДА,и се кълнат в Мелхом; ⁶ и онези, които се отклоняват отслед ГОСПОДА и които не търсят ГОСПОДА и не питат за Него. ⁷ Мълчи пред Господа БОГА, защото Денят на ГОСПОДА е близо, защото ГОСПОД е приготвил жертва, осветил е поканените Си. ⁸ И в деня на жертвата ГОСПОДНА ще накажа първенците и царските синове и всички, които се обличат в чуждестранни дрехи. ⁹ И в онзи ден ще накажа и всички, които прескачат прага, които пълнят дома на своя Господ с насилие и измама. ¹⁰ И в онзи ден, заявява ГОСПОД, ще се разнесе вик от Рибната порта, ридание от другата част на града и голямо разрушение от хълмовете. ¹¹ Плачете, жители на Мактес, защото целият търговски народ се изтреби, всички натоварени със сребро се отсякоха. ¹² И в онова време ще претърся Ерусалим със светилници и ще накажа мъжете, които почиват на дрождите си, които казват в сърцето си: ГОСПОД няма да направи нито добро, нито зло! ¹³ Затова имотът им ще бъде за грабеж и къщите им — за опустошение; и ще строят къщи, но няма да живеят в тях, и ще садят лозя, но няма да пият виното им. ¹⁴ Близо е великият Ден на ГОСПОДА; близо е и много бърза. Гласът на Деня на ГОСПОДА! Горко, вика там воинът. ¹⁵ Ден на ярост е онзи ден, ден на скръб и утеснение, ден на опустошение и запустение, ден на тъмнина и мрак, ден на облак и гъста мъгла, ¹⁶ ден на тръба и на боен вик против укрепените градове и против високите кули. ¹⁷ И Аз ще притесня хората, така че ще ходят като слепи, понеже съгрешиха против ГОСПОДА; и кръвта им ще се излее като прах и месата им — като тор. ¹⁸ Нито среброто им, нито златото им ще може да ги избави в деня на яростта ГОСПОДНА и от огъня на ревността Му ще бъде погълната цялата земя, защото ще сложи край, и то внезапен, на всичките жители на земята.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Riječ Jahvina upućena Sefaniji, sinu Kušija, sina Gedalijina, sina Amarjina, sina Ezekijina, u vrijeme Jošije, sina Amonova, kralja judejskoga. ² "Da, sve ću zbrisati s lica zemlje" - riječ je Jahvina! ³ "Izbrisat ću ljude i zvijeri, ptice nebeske i ribe morske, učinit ću da padnu bezbožnici, istrijebit ću ljude s lica zemlje" - riječ je Jahvina! ⁴ "Podignut ću ruku na Judu i na sve stanovnike Jeruzalema i istrijebit ću iz ovoga mjesta ostatak Baalov, ime služitelja idolskih sa svećenicima njegovim; ⁵ one koji se klanjaju na krovovima vojsci nebeskoj, one koji se klanjaju pred Jahvom a zaklinju se Milkomom; ⁶ one koji su se odmetnuli od Jahve, koji ne traže Jahvu i nimalo za nj ne mare." ⁷ Tišina pred Jahvom Gospodom, jer je dan Jahvin blizu! Da, Jahve je prigotovio žrtvu, posvetio je svoje uzvanike. ⁸ "U dan žrtve Jahvine, kaznit ću knezove, sinove kraljeve, i sve koji se oblače na način tuđinski. ⁹ Kaznit ću u taj dan sve koji preko praga poskakuju, koji Dom Gospodara svojega pune nasiljem i prijevarom." ¹⁰ "U onaj dan" - riječ je Jahvina - "vapaj će se podići od Ribljih vrata, urlici iz novog dijela grada, silna lomljavina sa brežuljaka. ¹¹ Kukajte, stanovnici makteški, jer je satrt sav narod kanaanski, zbrisani su svi mjerači srebra. ¹² I u to vrijeme pretražit ću Jeruzalem sa zubljama i pohodit ću kaznom ljude koji miruju na svojoj vinskoj droždini i u svom srcu govore: 'Jahve ne može učiniti ni dobro ni zlo.'" ¹³ Blago njihovo bit će prepušteno pljački, njihove kuće pustošenju. Oni su gradili kuće - neće u njima stanovati; sadili su vinograde - iz njih vina neće piti. ¹⁴ Blizu je dan Jahvin, veliki! Blizu je i žurno dolazi! Gorak je glas dana Jahvina: tada će i junak zajaukati. ¹⁵ Dan gnjeva, onaj dan! Dan tjeskobe i nevolje! Dan užasa i pustošenja! Dan pomrčine i naoblake! Dan tmina i magluština! ¹⁶ Dan trubljavine i bojne vike na gradove utvrđene i na visoka kruništa. ¹⁷ "Prepustit ću ljude nevoljama i vrludat će kao slijepci (jer su protiv Jahve sagriješili), krv će se njihova prosuti kao prašina, njihova trupla bit će bačena kao smeće. ¹⁸ Ni njihovo srebro ni njihovo zlato neće ih spasiti." U dan gnjeva Jahvina oganj njegove revnosti svu će zemlju sažeći. Jer on će uništiti, zatrti sve stanovnike zemlje.

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Slovo Hospodinovo, kteréž se stalo k Sofoniášovi synu Chusi, syna Godoliášova, syna Amariášova, syna Ezechiášova, za dnů Joziáše syna Amonova, krále Judského. ² Zajisté že sklidím všecko se svrchku té země, praví Hospodin. ³ Sklidím lidi i hovada, sklidím ptactvo nebeské i ryby mořské, i pohoršení s bezbožnými; vypléním, pravím, lidi se svrchku této země, praví Hospodin. ⁴ Nebo vztáhna ruku svou na Judu a na všecky obyvatele Jeruzalémské, zahladím z místa tohoto ostatek Bále, i kněží jeho s jich pomocníky, ⁵ I ty, kteříž se klanějí na střechách vojsku nebeskému, i ty, kteříž klanějíce se, přisahají skrze Hospodina, i ty, kteříž přisahají skrze Melecha svého. ⁶ I ty, kteříž zpět odcházejí, aby nenásledovali Hospodina, a kteříž nehledají Hospodina, aniž se ho dotazují. ⁷ Umlkni před oblíčejem Panovníka Hospodina, nebo blízký jest den Hospodinův; přistrojil zajisté Hospodin obět, povolal pozvaných svých. ⁸ I stane se v den oběti Hospodinovy, že navštívím knížata a syny královy i všecky, kteříž se obláčejí v roucho cizozemců. ⁹ Navštívím v ten den i každého, kterýž vskakuje na prah, kteříž naplňují dům pánů svých nátiskem a lstí. ¹⁰ I stane se v ten den, praví Hospodin, hlas křiku od brány rybné, a kvílení od druhé strany a třeskot veliký od pahrbků. ¹¹ Kvělte vy, kteříž bydlíte u vnitřku; nebo vyhlazen bude všecken obor kupců, vypléněni budou všickni snášející stříbro. ¹² I stane se v ten čas, že přehledávati budu Jeruzalém s lucernami, a navštívím muže, kteříž ulnuli v kvasnicích svých, kteříž říkají v srdci svém: Nečiniť dobře Hospodin, aniž zle činí. ¹³ Nebo přijde statek jejich na rozchvátání, a domové jejich na zpuštění. Stavějí zajisté domy, ale nebudou v nich bydliti; a štěpují vinice, ale nebudou píti vína z nich. ¹⁴ Blízký jest den Hospodinův veliký, blízký jest a rychlý velmi zvuk dne Hospodinova, tuť hořce křičeti bude udatný. ¹⁵ Den rozhněvání bude ten den, den úzkosti a trápení, den zpuštění a to hrozného, den temnosti a mračna, den oblaku a mrákoty, ¹⁶ Den trouby a troubení proti městům hrazeným, a proti úhlům vysokým, ¹⁷ V němž úzkostmi sevru lidi, aby chodili jako slepí, nebo proti Hospodinu zhřešili. I vylita bude krev jejich jako prach, a těla jejich jako lejna. ¹⁸ Ani stříbro jejich, ani zlato jejich nebude jich moci vytrhnouti v den rozhněvání Hospodinova; nebo ohněm horlivosti jeho sehlcena bude tato všecka země, proto že konec jistě rychlý učiní všechněm obyvatelům země.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ HERRENS Ord, som kom til Zefanias, en Søn af Kusi, der var en Søn af Gedalia, der var en Søn af Gedalia, der var en Søn af Ezekias, i de Dage, da Josias, Amons Søn, var Konge i Juda. ² Bort, ja, Zolt vil jeg tage alt af Jorden; siger HERREN. ³ Jeg vil borttage Mennesker og Dyr, borttage Fuglene under Himmlelen og Fiskene i Havet og alle Anstød tillige med de, ugudelige; og jeg vil udrydde Menneskene af Jorden, siger HERREN. ⁴ Og jeg vil udstrække min Haand imod Juda og imod alle Jerusalems Indbyggere, og jeg vil udrydde af dette Sted det overblevne af Baal, Afgudspræsternes Navn tillige med Præsterne; ⁵ og dem, som paa Tagene tilbede Himmelens Hær, og dem, som tilbedende sværge til HERREN og dog sværge ved deres Konge; ⁶ og dem, som ere vegne bort fra HERREN, og som ikke have søgt HERREN og ikke spurgt efter ham. ⁷ Stille for den Herre, HERRE! thi HERRENS Dag er nær; thi HERREN har beredt en Offerslagtning, han har helliget sine indbudne. ⁸ Og det skal ske paa HERRENS Offerslagtnings Dag, at jeg vil hjemsøge Fyrsterne og Kongens Børn og alle, som klæde sig i flemmed Dragt. ⁹ Og jeg vil hjemsøge paa den Dag hvor den, som springer over Dørterskelen, dem, som fylde deres Herres Hus med Vold og Svig. ¹⁰ Og der skal paa denne Dag, siger HERREN, lyde Raab fra Fiskepolten og Hylen fra Stadens anden Del og stor Forstyrrelse fra Højene. ¹¹ Hyler, I som bo i Morteren! thi alt Kræmmerfolket er tilintetgjort, alle de, som vare belæssede med Sølv, ere udryddede. ¹² Og det skal ske paa den Tid, at jeg vil ransage Jerusalem med Lygter, og jeg vil hjemsøge de Folk, som ligge stille paa deres Bærme, dem, som sige i deres Hjerte: HERREN gør hverken godt eller ondt. ¹³ Og deres Gods skal blive til Rov og deles Huse til Ødelæggelse, og de skulle bygge Huse, men ikke bo i dem, og plante Vingaarde, men ikke drikke Vin af dem. ¹⁴ Nær er HERRENS Dag, den store, den er nær og haster saare; Lyden af HERRENS Dag høres; der raaber den vældige bitterlig. ¹⁵ En Vredes Dag er denne Dag, en Nøds og Længsels Dag, en Forstyrrelses og Længsels Dag, en Forstyrrelses og Ødelæggelses Dag, en Mørkheds og Dunkelheds Dag, en Skys og Mulms Dag, ¹⁶ en Trompetklangs og Krigsraabs Dag over de befæstede Stæder og over de høje Hjørnetaarne: ¹⁷ Og jeg vil ængste Menneskene, og de skulle gaa som blinde; thi de have syndet imod HERREN; og deres Blod skal udøses som Støv og deres Kød som Skarn. ¹⁸ Hverken deres Sølv eller deres Guld skal kunne redde dem paa HERRENS Vredes Dag, men ved hans Nidkærheds Ild skal den hele Jord fortæres; thi han skal gøre Ende, ja, hastelig gøre Ende paa alle Jordens Beboere.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tämä on Herran sana, joka tapahtui Zephanjalle Kusin pojalle, Gedalian pojalle, Amarian pojalle, Hiskian pojalle, Josian Amonin pojan, Juudan kuninkaan ajalla. ² Minä tahdon kaikki maalta ottaa peräti pois, sanoo Herra. ³ Minä tahdon ottaa pois ihmiset ja karjan, linnut taivaan alta ja kalat merestä otan minä pois, niin myös pahennuksen ja jumalattoman, ja minä tahdon ihmiset maan päältä hävittää, sanoo Herra. ⁴ Minä ojennan minun käteni Juudan päälle ja kaikkein niiden päälle, jotka Jerusalemissa asuvat, ja hävitän Baalin jääneet, ja munkkien ja pappien nimen tästä paikasta; ⁵ Ja ne, jotka kattoin päällä taivaan sotaväkeä kumartavat, ja jotka kumartavat ja vannovat Herran kautta, ja vannovat myös Molokinsa kautta; ⁶ Ja ne, jotka Herrasta luopuvat, ja jotka ei Herraa ensinkään etsi, eikä häntä tottele. ⁷ Vaijetkaat Herran, Herran edessä; sillä Herran päivä on läsnä, ja Herra on teurasuhrin valmistanut, ja vieraansa siihen kutsunut. ⁸ Ja Herran teurasuhrin päivänä on tapahtuva, että minä etsin päämiehiä ja kuninkaan lapsia, ja kaikkia, jotka outoja vaatteita kantavat. ⁹ Minä etsin myös niitä sillä ajalla, jotka hyppäävät kynnyksen ylitse, jotka herrainsa huoneet varkaudella ja petoksella täyttävät. ¹⁰ Sillä ajalla, sanoo Herra, pitää huudon ääni kuuluman kalaportissa, ja ulvominen toisella puolella, ja suuri surkeus kukkuloilla. ¹¹ Ulvokaat te, jotka myllyssä asutte; sillä kaikki kaupitsia-kansa on hävitetty, ja kaikki, jotka rahaa kokoovat, ovat kadotetut. ¹² Sillä ajalla tahdon minä Jerusalemin kynttilällä etsiä, ja etsiskellä niitä miehiä, jotka rahkansa päällä makaavat, ja sanovat sydämessänsä: ei Herra tee hyvästi eikä pahasti. ¹³ Ja heidän tavaransa pitää raatelukseksi tuleman ja huoneensa autioksi; he rakentavat huonetta, ja ei saa niissä asua, ja istuttavat viinapuita, mutta ei he saa niistä viinaa juoda. ¹⁴ Sillä Herran suuri päivä on läsnä, se on läsnä sangen kiiruusti; kuin Herran päivän parku on tuleva, niin väkeväin pitää silloin haikiasti huutaman. ¹⁵ Sillä se päivä on kauheuden päivä, vaivan ja ahdistuksen päivä, tuulen ja tuulispään päivä, pimeyden ja synkeyden päivä, pilven ja sumun päivä, ¹⁶ Basunan ja vaskitorven päivä, vahvoja kaupungeita ja korkeita linnoja vastaan. ¹⁷ Minä tahdon ihmisille ahdistuksen tehdä, ja heidän pitää käymän niinkuin sokiat, että he ovat Herraa vastaan syntiä tehneet; heidän verensä pitää vuodatettaman, niinkuin tomu, ja heidän lihansa niinkuin loka. ¹⁸ Ei heidän hopiansa eikä kultansa pidä heitä sinä Herran vihan päivänä voiman auttaa, vaan koko maa pitää hänen kiivautensa tulelta kulutettaman; sillä hän tekee nopiasti lopun kaikkein kanssa, jotka maassa asuvat.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Herran sana, joka tuli Sefanjalle, Kuusin pojalle, joka oli Gedaljan poika, joka Amarjan poika, joka Hiskian poika, Juudan kuninkaan Joosian, Aamonin pojan, päivinä. ² Totisesti minä otan kaiken pois maan pinnalta, sanoo Herra. ³ Minä otan pois ihmiset ja eläimet, otan pois taivaan linnut ja meren kalat, viettelykset ja jumalattomat. Minä hävitän ihmiset maan pinnalta, sanoo Herra. ⁴ Minä ojennan käteni Juudaa vastaan ja kaikkia Jerusalemin asukkaita vastaan, ja minä hävitän tästä paikasta Baalin jätteet, epäjumalain pappien nimet ynnä myös Herran papit, ⁵ ne, jotka katoilla kumartaen rukoilevat taivaan joukkoa, sekä ne, jotka kumartaen rukoilevat Herraa ja vannovat hänen kauttansa, mutta myös vannovat Melekinsä kautta, ⁶ ynnä ne, jotka ovat luopuneet seuraamasta Herraa, eivät etsi Herraa eivätkä häntä kysy. ⁷ Vaiti Herran, Herran edessä! Sillä Herran päivä on lähellä; sillä Herra on laittanut teurasuhrin, on vihkinyt kutsuttunsa. ⁸ Ja Herran teurasuhrin päivänä minä rankaisen päämiehiä ja kuninkaan poikia ja kaikkia muukalaispukuun puettuja. ⁹ Ja minä rankaisen sinä päivänä kaikkia kynnyksen yli hyppääjiä, jotka täyttävät herransa huoneen väkivallalla ja petoksella. ¹⁰ Sinä päivänä, sanoo Herra, kuuluu huuto Kalaportilta ja valitus toisesta kaupunginosasta ja suuri hävitys kukkuloilta. ¹¹ Valittakaa, te Huhmaren asukkaat, sillä tuhottu on kaikki kauppaakäypä väki, hävitetty kaikki hopean punnitsijat. ¹² Siihen aikaan minä tutkin lampuilla Jerusalemin ja rankaisen ne miehet, jotka rauhassa makaavat pohjasakkansa päällä ja sanovat sydämessään: "Ei Herra tee hyvää eikä pahaa". ¹³ Heidän rikkautensa joutuu ryöstettäväksi, ja heidän talonsa jäävät autioiksi. He ovat rakentaneet taloja, mutta eivät saa niissä asua; ovat istuttaneet viinitarhoja, mutta eivät saa niistä viiniä juoda. ¹⁴ Lähellä on Herran suuri päivä, se on lähellä ja tulee sangen kiiruusti. Kuule, Herran päivä! Silloin sankarit haikeasti huutavat. ¹⁵ Vihan päivä on se päivä, tuskan ja ahdistuksen päivä, häviön ja hävityksen päivä, pimeyden ja synkeyden päivä, pilven ja sankan sumun päivä, ¹⁶ pasunan ja sotahuudon päivä varustettuja kaupunkeja ja korkeita muurinkulmia vastaan. ¹⁷ Minä saatan ihmiset ahdistukseen, niin että he kulkevat kuin sokeat, sillä he ovat tehneet syntiä Herraa vastaan. Ja heidän verensä vuodatetaan niinkuin tomu, ja heidän elinnesteensä niinkuin saasta. ¹⁸ Eivätkä voi pelastaa heitä heidän hopeansa ja kultansa Herran vihan päivänä: hänen kiivautensa tulessa kuluu koko maa. Sillä lopun, äkkilopun, hän tekee kaikista maan asukkaista.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men mesaj Seyè a te bay Sofoni sou rèy Jozyas, pitit Amon an, ki te wa peyi Jida. Sofoni te pitit Kouchi. Kouchi te pitit Gedalya. Gedalya sa a te pitit Amarya ki li menm te pitit wa Ezekyas. ² Seyè a di konsa: -Mwen pral detwi dènye bagay sou latè. ³ Mwen pral detwi tout moun, tout bèt, tout zwezo nan syèl la ak tout pwason nan lanmè, mechan yo ansanm ak tou sa k'ap fè yo tonbe nan peche. Mwen pral detwi tout moun, mwen p'ap kite yonn sou latè. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. ⁴ Mwen pral kraze moun peyi Jida yo ansanm ak moun ki rete lavil Jerizalèm yo anba men m'. Mwen pral disparèt dènye kras zidòl Baal nan peyi a. Pesonn p'ap janm chonje prèt k'ap sèvi l' yo ankò. ⁵ Mwen pral disparèt dènye moun k'ap moute sou teras anwo kay pou adore solèy, lalin ak zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap detwi moun k'ap pran non mwen mete ansanm ak non zidòl Milkòm lan pou fè sèman. ⁶ M'ap detwi tout moun ki vire do ban mwen, ki pa koute pawòl mwen yo, ki pa vin mande m' konsèy ankò. ⁷ Jou pou Seyè a vin jije a pa lwen rive! Se pou tout moun pe bouch yo devan Seyè a. Seyè a ap pare pou li fè gwo sèvis pou touye bèt. Li chwazi moun l'ap envite yo. ⁸ Jou gwo sèvis ofrann bèt sa a, m'ap pini tout gwo chèf yo, tout pitit wa yo ansanm ak tout moun k'ap kopye sou moun lòt nasyon yo. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa. ⁹ M'ap pini tout moun k'ap fè sèvis tankou moun lòt nasyon yo. Wi, jou sa a, m'ap pini tout moun k'ap vòlò, k'ap touye moun pou yo ka plen tanp zidòl yo ak sa yo pran. ¹⁰ Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale toujou. Jou sa a n'a tande gwo rèl bò Pòtay Pwason nan lavil Jerizalèm. N'a tande moun ap plenn byen fò nan katye nèf lavil la. N'a tande yon gwo deblozay pete sou ti mòn yo. ¹¹ Nou menm ki rete anba lavil, rele byen fò paske tout moun ki t'ap fè trafik yo pral mouri. Wi, yo pral disparèt tout moun ki t'ap fè lajan sou tèt moun nan kòmès. ¹² Lè sa a, men sa k'ap rive. M'ap limen lanp pou m' fouye lavil Jerizalèm. M'ap pini tout moun ki chita chita yo tou dousman, epi k'ap di nan kè yo: Bondye p'ap fè anyen. ¹³ Se sa yo kwè! Y'ap piye tout richès yo, y'ap kraze tout kay yo. Y'ap bati kay, men yo p'ap menm gen tan antre ladan yo. Y'ap plante pye rezen, men yo p'ap menm gen tan pran fre diven an. ¹⁴ Wi, gwo jou Seyè a pa lwen rive. Sa pral yon gwo jou vre. Li pa lwen rive. L'ap rive byen vit. Jou sa a, sa pral rèd nèt! Ata sòlda ki pi vanyan yo pral rele anmwe. ¹⁵ Jou sa a pral yon jou dechennen, yon jou lafliksyon ak kè sere, yon jou kraze brize, yon jou k'ap fè nwè kou lank, yon jou van ak gwo nwaj nwa ap plen syèl la. ¹⁶ Yon jou twonpèt ap kònen, sòlda ap rele pou yo gen kouray pou y' al atake lavil ki gen gwo miray ranpa ak fò byen wo nan chak kwen pou pwoteje yo. ¹⁷ Seyè a te di ankò: -Mwen pral manyen ak lèzòm! Yo pral tatonnen tankou avèg, paske yo te peche kont Seyè a. San yo pral koule kou dlo, kadav yo pral pouri tankou fatra. ¹⁸ Jou Seyè a pral move sou yo a, ni lajan yo ni lò yo p'ap ka sove yo. Kòlè li tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout tè a, paske yon sèl kou a, l'ap disparèt tout moun ki rete sou latè. L'ap fini ak yo.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Az Úr igéje, a melyet szólt Sofóniásnak, a Kusi fiának, a ki Gedáliás fia, a ki Amariás fia, a ki Ezékiás fia, Jósiásnak az Amon fiának idejében. ² Elvesztek, mindent elvesztek e föld színérõl, azt mondja az Úr. ³ Elvesztek embert és barmot; elvesztem az ég madarait, és a tenger halait és a botránkoztatás eszközeit a hitetlenekkel együtt; az embert is kiirtom a föld színérõl, azt mondja az Úr. ⁴ És kinyújtom kezemet Júda ellen és Jeruzsálem minden lakója ellen, és kiirtom e helyrõl a Baál maradékát, a bálványpapok nevét a papokkal együtt; ⁵ Azokat is, a kik a háztetõkön az ég seregének hajlonganak; és azokat, a kik hajlonganak, esküdvén az Úrra, de esküsznek az õ Molokjokra is; ⁶ Azokat is, a kik elfordultak az Úr követésétõl, és a kik nem keresik az Urat és nem tudakoznak felõle. ⁷ Hallgass az Úr Isten orczája elõtt, mert közel van az Úrnak napja, mert áldozatot készíttetett az Úr, megszentelte az õ hivatalosait. ⁸ És lészen az Úr áldozatának napján: megfenyítem majd a fejedelmeket és a királyok fiait és mindazokat, a kik idegen öltözetbe öltöztek. ⁹ És megfenyítem mindazt, a ki a küszöbön ugrál ama napon, a kik erõszakkal és csalárdsággal töltik meg az õ uroknak házát. ¹⁰ És lészen azon a napon, azt mondja az Úr, kiáltó szózat a hal-kaputól fogva, és jajgatás az alsó városból, és nagy recsegés a halmok felõl. ¹¹ Jajgassatok, ti, a kik a völgyben laktok, mert elpusztul az egész kalmár nép, kivágattatik minden, a ki ezüstöt mér. ¹² És lészen az idõben, megmotozom majd Jeruzsálemet szövétnekkel, és megfenyítem azokat, a kik saját seprejökön hevernek, a kik ezt mondják szívökben: sem jót, sem rosszat nem cselekszik az Úr. ¹³ És gazdagságuk prédává lesz, házaik pedig pusztává. Építnek házakat, de nem lakják, és plántálnak szõlõket, de nem iszszák azoknak borát. ¹⁴ Közel van az Úrnak nagy napja, közel van és igen siet; az Úr napjának szava keserves, kiáltoz azon a hõs [is.] ¹⁵ Haragnak napja az a nap, szorongatásnak és nyomorúságnak napja; pusztításnak és pusztulásnak napja; sötétségnek és homálynak napja; felhõnek és borúnak napja. ¹⁶ Kürtnek és tárogatónak napja a megerõsített városok ellen és a büszke tornyok ellen! ¹⁷ És megszorongatom az embereket és járnak, mint a vakok, mert vétkeztek az Úr ellen, és kiontatik vérök, mint a por, és testök, mint szemét. ¹⁸ Sem ezüstjök, sem aranyuk nem szabadíthatja meg õket az Úr haragjának napján, és az õ féltõ szeretetének tüze megemészti az egész földet; mert véget vet, bizony hirtelen vet véget e föld minden lakosának.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Zefanya adalah anak Kusyi. Urutan silsilahnya dari bawah ke atas adalah Kusyi, Gedalya, Amazia dan Raja Hizkia. Inilah pesan TUHAN kepada Zefanya pada waktu Raja Yosia anak Amon memerintah atas Yehuda. ² TUHAN berkata, "Aku akan memusnahkan segala sesuatu di bumi: ³ semua manusia dan binatang, termasuk burung dan ikan. Orang jahat akan Kutumpas. Seluruh umat manusia akan Kubinasakan, tak seorang pun akan Kubiarkan hidup. Aku, TUHAN, telah berbicara. ⁴ Aku akan menghukum penduduk Yerusalem dan seluruh Yehuda. Sisa-sisa penyembahan Baal akan Kulenyapkan dari tempat-tempat itu. Imam-imam yang melayani Baal akan dilupakan sama sekali. ⁵ Aku akan menyapu bersih siapa saja yang naik ke atap untuk menyembah matahari, bulan dan bintang-bintang. Akan Kulenyapkan pula mereka yang menyembah Aku dan bersumpah setia kepada-Ku, tetapi juga bersumpah demi nama Dewa Milkom. ⁶ Aku akan membinasakan mereka yang tidak datang kepada-Ku atau meminta bimbingan-Ku dan yang telah meninggalkan Aku dan tidak mau lagi mengikuti Aku." ⁷ Hari TUHAN telah dekat, pada hari itu Allah akan bertindak; sebab itu, berdiam dirilah di hadapan-Nya. TUHAN sedang bersiap-siap untuk membantai umat-Nya seperti kurban persembahan dan Ia telah mengundang musuh-musuh Yehuda. ⁸ "Pada hari pembantaian itu," kata TUHAN, "Aku akan menghukum para pembesar, para putra raja, dan semua orang yang mengikuti tata cara orang asing. ⁹ Aku akan menghukum semua orang yang beribadat seperti orang yang tak mengenal Aku, dan yang mencuri serta membunuh untuk memenuhi rumah majikan mereka dengan barang-barang rampasan." ¹⁰ "Pada hari itu," demikian kata TUHAN, "akan terdengar tangisan di Gerbang Ikan. Suara ratapan akan terdengar dari perkampungan baru, dan bunyi keruntuhan hebat akan menggema dari bukit-bukit. ¹¹ Merataplah dan menangislah pada waktu kamu mendengar itu, hai penduduk kota di bagian bawah, sebab semua pedagang dan orang-orang yang meminjamkan uang telah mati terbunuh! ¹² Pada waktu itu Aku akan mengambil obor, dan menggeledah kota Yerusalem. Akan Kuhukum penduduknya yang acuh tak acuh itu serta yang puas dengan dirinya sendiri, dan yang berpikir bahwa Aku, TUHAN tak pernah bertindak begini atau begitu. ¹³ Harta mereka akan dirampas dan rumah-rumah mereka dihancurkan. Mereka akan membangun rumah, tetapi tidak mendiaminya. Mereka akan mengusahakan kebun anggur tetapi tidak minum anggurnya." ¹⁴ Hari penghakiman TUHAN sudah dekat, ya, sudah sangat dekat, bahkan akan tiba dengan segera. Hari itu penuh kepedihan, sehingga prajurit-prajurit yang paling perkasa pun akan meraung-raung karena putus asa! ¹⁵ Hari itu hari kemarahan, kesulitan dan kesusahan, hari keruntuhan dan penghancuran, hari kegelapan dan kesuraman, hari yang kelam dan berkabut. ¹⁶ Sepanjang hari itu terdengar bunyi trompet dan pekik tempur dari pejuang-pejuang yang menyerang kota-kota berbenteng dan menara-menara tinggi. ¹⁷ TUHAN berkata, "Aku akan mendatangkan banyak bencana atas umat manusia, sehingga mereka akan meraba-raba seperti orang buta. Mereka telah berdosa kepada-Ku, dan sekarang darah mereka akan tercurah seperti air, dan mayat-mayat mereka membusuk di atas tanah." ¹⁸ Pada hari yang dahsyat itu TUHAN akan menunjukkan marah-Nya, maka segala emas dan perak mereka tak dapat menyelamatkan mereka. Seluruh bumi akan hancur lebur dibakar oleh api kemarahan-Nya. Dengan tiba-tiba akan dicabut-Nya segala nyawa di bumi ini.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La parola del Signore, che fu indirizzata a Sofonia, figliuolo di Cusi, figliuolo di Ghedalia, figliuolo di Amaria, figliuolo di Ezechia, a’ dì di Giosia, figliuolo di Amon, re di Giuda. ² IO farò del tutto perire ogni cosa d’in su la faccia della terra, dice il Signore. ³ Io farò perir gli uomini, e gli animali; io farò perir gli uccelli del cielo, e i pesci del mare; e gl’intoppi, insieme con gli empi; e sterminerò gli uomini d’in su la faccia della terra, dice il Signore. ⁴ E stenderò la mia mano sopra Giuda, e sopra tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme; e sterminerò di questo luogo il rimanente de’ Baali, il nome de’ Camari, insieme co’ sacerdoti. ⁵ E quelli parimente che adorano l’esercito del cielo sopra i tetti; e quelli ancora che adorano il Signore, e gli giurano; e quelli che giurano per Malcam; ⁶ e quelli che si ritraggono indietro dal Signore, e quelli che non cercano il Signore, e non lo richieggono. ⁷ Silenzio, per la presenza del Signore Iddio! conciossiachè il giorno del Signore sia vicino; perciocchè il Signore ha apparecchiato un sacrificio, egli ha ordinati i suoi convitati. ⁸ Ed avverrà, nel giorno del sacrificio del Signore, che io farò punizione de’ principi, e de’ figliuoli del re, e di tutti quelli che si vestono di vestimenti strani. ⁹ In quel giorno ancora farò punizione di tutti coloro che saltano sopra la soglia; che riempiono le case de’ lor signori di rapina, e di frode. ¹⁰ E in quel giorno, dice il Signore, vi sarà una voce di grido verso la porta de’ pesci, ed un urlo verso la seconda porta, ed un gran fracasso verso i colli. ¹¹ Urlate, abitanti del Mortaio; perciocchè tutto il popolo de’ mercatanti è perito, tutti i portatori di danari sono sterminati. ¹² Ed avverrà in quel tempo, che io investigherò Gerusalemme con delle lucerne, e farò punizione degli uomini che si sono rappresi sopra le lor fecce; che dicono nel cuor loro: Il Signore non fa nè bene nè male. ¹³ E le lor facoltà saranno in preda, e le lor case in desolazione; ed avranno edificate delle case, e non vi abiteranno; e piantate delle vigne, e non ne berranno il vino. ¹⁴ Il gran giorno del Signore è vicino; egli è vicino, e si affretta molto; la voce del giorno del Signore sarà di persone che grideranno amaramente. ¹⁵ I capitani sono già là. Quel giorno sarà giorno d’indegnazione; giorno di distretta, e d’angoscia; giorno di tumulto, e di fracasso; giorno di tenebre, e di caligine; giorno di nebbia, e di folta oscurità; ¹⁶ giorno di tromba, e di stormo, sopra le città forti, e sopra gli alti cantoni. ¹⁷ Ed io metterò gli uomini in distretta, e cammineranno come ciechi; perciocchè han peccato contro al Signore; e il lor sangue sarà sparso come polvere, e la lor carne come sterchi. ¹⁸ Nè il loro argento, nè il loro oro, non li potrà scampare nel giorno dell’indegnazione del Signore; e tutto il paese sarà consumato per lo fuoco della sua gelosia; perciocchè egli farà una finale, ed anche affrettata distruzione di tutti gli abitanti del paese.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ La parola dell’Eterno che fu rivolta a Sofonia, figliuolo di Cusci, figliuolo di Ghedalia, figliuolo d’Amaria, figliuolo d’Ezechia, ai giorni di Giosia, figliuolo d’Amon, re di Giuda. ² Io farò del tutto perire ogni cosa di sulla faccia della terra, dice l’Eterno. ³ Farò perire uomini e bestie; farò perire uccelli del cielo e pesci del mare, le cause d’intoppo assieme con gli empi, e sterminerò gli uomini di sulla faccia della terra, dice l’Eterno. ⁴ E stenderò la mano su Giuda e su tutti gli abitanti di Gerusalemme; e sterminerò da questo luogo i resti di Baal, il nome dei preti degli idoli, coi sacerdoti, ⁵ e quelli che si prostrano sui tetti davanti all’esercito celeste, e quelli che si prostrano prestando giuramento all’Eterno, e prestando giuramento anche a Malcom, ⁶ e quelli che si ritraggono dall’Eterno, e quelli che non cercano l’Eterno e non lo consultano. ⁷ Silenzio, davanti al Signore, all’Eterno! Poiché il giorno dell’Eterno è vicino, poiché l’Eterno ha preparato un sacrifizio, ha santificato i suoi convitati. ⁸ E, nel giorno del sacrifizio dell’Eterno, avverrà che io punirò tutti i principi e i figliuoli del re, e tutti quelli che indossano vesti straniere. ⁹ In quel giorno, punirò tutti quelli che saltano sopra la soglia, che riempion di violenza e di frode le case dei loro signori. ¹⁰ In quel giorno, dice l’Eterno, s’udrà un grido dalla porta dei pesci, un urlo dalla seconda cinta, e un gran fracasso dalle colline. ¹¹ Urlate, o abitanti del mortaio! poiché tutto il popolo de’ mercanti è annientato, tutti quelli ch’eran carichi di danaro sono sterminati. ¹² E in quel tempo avverrà che io frugherò Gerusalemme con delle torce, e punirò gli uomini che, immobili sulle loro fecce, dicon in cuor loro: "l’Eterno non fa né ben né male". ¹³ Le loro ricchezze saranno abbandonate al saccheggio, e le loro case ridotte in una desolazione; essi avranno costruito delle case, ma non le abiteranno; avran piantato delle vigne, ma non ne berranno il vino. ¹⁴ Il gran giorno dell’Eterno è vicino; è vicino, e viene in gran fretta; s’ode venire il giorno dell’Eterno e il più valoroso grida amaramente. ¹⁵ Quel giorno è un giorno d’ira, un giorno di distretta e d’angoscia, un giorno di rovina e di desolazione, un giorno di tenebre e caligine, un giorno di nuvole e di fitta oscurità, ¹⁶ un giorno di suon di tromba e d’allarme contro le città fortificate e le alte torri. ¹⁷ E io metterò gli uomini nella distretta, ed essi cammineranno come ciechi, perché han peccato contro l’Eterno; e il loro sangue sarà sparso come polvere, e la loro carne come escrementi. ¹⁸ Né il loro argento né il loro oro li potrà liberare nel giorno dell’ira dell’Eterno; ma tutto il paese sarà divorato dal fuoco della sua gelosia; giacché egli farà una totale, una subitanea distruzione di tutti gli abitanti del paese.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Słowo Pańskie, które się stało do Sofonijasza, syna Chusego, syna Godolijaszowego, syna Amaryjaszowego, syna Ezechyjaszowego, za dni Jozyjasza, syna Amonowego, króla Judzkiego. ² Wszystko zapewne zniosę z oblicza tej ziemi, mówi Pan. ³ Zniosę ludzi i bydło, zniosę ptastwo niebieskie i ryby morskie, i zgorszenie z niepobożnymi; wykorzenię człowieka z oblicza tej ziemi, mówi Pan. ⁴ Bo wyciągnę rękę moję na Judę, i na wszystkich obywateli Jeruzalemskich; wykorzenię z miejsca tego ostatki Baalowe, i popy jego z kapłanami; ⁵ I tych, którzy się kłaniają na dachach wojsku niebieskiemu, i tych, którzy kłaniając się przysięgają przez Pana, także i tych, którzy przysięgają przez Molocha swego; ⁶ I tych, którzy się odwracają od naśladowania Pana, i którzy nie szukają Pana, ani się pytają o nim. ⁷ Umilknij przed obliczem panującego Pana, gdyż bliski jest dzień Pański; bo Pan zgotował ofiarę, i poświęcił wezwanych swoich. ⁸ A w dzień ofiary Pańskiej nawiedzę książąt i synów królewskich, i wszystkich, którzy się obłóczą w szaty cudzoziemskie. ⁹ Nawiedzę też dnia onego każdego, który próg przeskakuje, którzy napełniają domy panów swych łupiestwem i bezprawiem. ¹⁰ A dnia onego, mówi Pan, będzie głos wołania od bramy rybnej, i narzekanie od drugiej strony ( miasta), i skruszenie wielkie od pagórków. ¹¹ Narzekajcie wy, którzy mieszkacie wewnątrz: bo wygładzony będzie wszystek lud kupiecki, wygładzeni będą wszyscy, którzy srebro noszą. ¹² I stanie się w on czas, że Jeruzalem szpiegować będę z pochodniami, i nawiedzę mężów, którzy polgnęli w drożdżach swoich, mówiąc w sercu swojem: Pan nie uczyni dobrze, ani źle uczyni. ¹³ Bo majętność ich przyjdzie na rozchwycenie, i domy ich na spustoszenie; pobudują domy, lecz w nich mieszkać nie będą; i będą sadzić winnice, ale z nich wina pić nie będą. ¹⁴ Bliski jest wielki dzień Pański, bliski jest i spieszny bardzo głos dnia Pańskiego; tam i mocarz gorzko wołać będzie. ¹⁵ Dzień gniewu będzie ten dzień, dzień utrapienia i ucisku, dzień zamięszania i spustoszenia, dzień ciemności i mroku, dzień obłoku i chmury; ¹⁶ Dzień trąby i trąbienia przeciwko miastom obronnym i przeciwko basztom wysokim, ¹⁷ W który ludzi utrapieniem ścisnę, że jako ślepi chodzić będą, ponieważ przeciwko Panu zgrzeszyli; i wylana będzie krew ich jako proch, a ciała ich jako gnój. ¹⁸ Ani srebro ich, ani złoto ich nie będzie ich mogło wyrwać w dzień gniewu Pańskiego; bo ogniem zapalczywości jego będzie ta wszystka ziemia pożarta, przeto, że zapewne koniec prędki uczyni wszystkim obywatelom ziemi.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A palavra do Senhor que veio a Sofonias, filho de Cuche, filho de Godolias, filho de Amarias, filho de Ezequias, nos dias de Josias, filho de Amon, rei de Judá. ² Hei de consumir por completo tudo sobre a face da terra, diz o Senhor. ³ Consumirei os homens e os animais; consumirei as aves do céu, e os peixes do mar, e os tropeços juntamente com os ímpios; e exterminarei os homens de sobre a face da terra, diz o Senhor. ⁴ E estenderei a minha mão contra Judá, e contra todos os habitantes de Jerusalém; e exterminarei deste lugar o resto de Baal, e os nomes dos sacerdotes de ídolos, juntamente com os sacerdotes; ⁵ e os que sobre os telhados adoram o exército do céu, e aqueles adoradores que juram ao Senhor, e juram por Milcom; ⁶ e os que deixam de seguir ao Senhor, e os que não buscam ao Senhor, nem perguntam por ele. ⁷ Cala-te diante do Senhor Deus, porque o dia do Senhor está perto; pois o Senhor tem preparado um sacrifício, e tem santificado os seus convidados. ⁸ E no dia do sacrifício do Senhor castigarei os oficiais, e os filhos do rei, e todos os que se vestem de trajes estrangeiros. ⁹ Castigarei também naquele dia todos aqueles que saltam sobre o umbral, que enchem de violência e de dolo a casa do seu senhor. ¹⁰ E naquele dia, diz o Senhor, far-se-á ouvir uma voz de clamor desde a porta dos peixes, e um uivo desde a segunda parte, e grande estrépito desde os outeiros. ¹¹ Uivai vós, moradores de Mactes, porque todo o povo de Canaã está arruinado; todos os que pesam a prata são destruídos. ¹² E há de ser que, naquele tempo, esquadrinharei a Jerusalém com lanternas, e castigarei os homens que se embrutecem com as fezes do vinho, que dizem no seu coração: O Senhor não faz o bem nem faz o mal. ¹³ Por isso as riquezas deles se tornarão em despojo e as suas casas em desolação; e edificarão casas, mas não habitarão nelas; e plantarão vinhas, mas não lhes beberão o vinho. ¹⁴ O grande dia do Senhor está perto; sim, está perto, e se apressa muito; ei-la, amarga é a voz do dia do Senhor; clama ali o homem poderoso. ¹⁵ Aquele dia é dia de indignação, dia de tribulação e de angústia, dia de alvoroço e de assolação, dia de trevas e de escuridão, dia de nuvens e de densas trevas, ¹⁶ dia de trombeta e de alarido contra as cidades fortificadas e contra as torres altas. ¹⁷ E angustiarei os homens, e eles andarão como cegos, porque pecaram contra o Senhor; e o seu sangue se derramará como pó, e a sua carne como esterco. ¹⁸ Nem a sua prata nem o seu ouro os poderá livrar no dia da indignação do Senhor; mas pelo fogo do seu zelo será devorada toda a terra; porque certamente fará de todos os moradores da terra uma destruição total e apressada.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Dette er Herrens ord som kom til Sefanias, sønn av Kusi, sønn av Gedalja, sønn av Amarja, sønn av Esekias, i de dager da Josias, Amons sønn, var konge i Juda. ² Bort, bort vil jeg ta alt av jorden, sier Herren. ³ Jeg vil ta bort mennesker og dyr, ta bort himmelens fugler og havets fisker og alt det som volder anstøt, sammen med de ugudelige, og jeg vil utrydde menneskene av jorden, sier Herren. ⁴ Jeg vil rekke min hånd ut mot Juda og mot alle Jerusalems innbyggere, og jeg vil utrydde av dette sted alt som er igjen av Ba'al, avgudsprestenes navn sammen med prestene ⁵ og dem som på takene tilbeder himmelens hær, og dem som tilbeder Herren og sverger ham troskap, men på samme tid sverger ved sin konge*, / {* JER 49, 1.} ⁶ og dem som har vendt sig bort fra Herren, og som ikke har søkt Herren og ikke spurt efter ham. ⁷ Vær stille for Herren, Israels Gud! For Herrens dag er nær; Herren har stelt til en offerslaktning, han har innvidd sine gjester. ⁸ Og på Herrens offerslaktnings dag vil jeg hjemsøke høvdingene og kongens sønner og alle som klær sig i utenlandske klær. ⁹ Og jeg vil på den dag hjemsøke hver den som hopper over dørtreskelen, dem som fyller sin Herres hus med vold og svik. ¹⁰ På den dag, sier Herren, skal det lyde skrik fra Fiskeporten og hyl fra stadens andre del og stort brak fra haugene. ¹¹ Hyl, I som bor i Morteren*! For hele kana'anitterfolket** er utslettet; alle de som slepte på masser av sølv, er utryddet. / {* en dyptliggende del av Jerusalem.} / {** kremmerfolket; HSE 12, 8.} ¹² Og på den samme tid vil jeg ransake Jerusalem med lykter, og jeg vil hjemsøke de folk som ligger på sin berme og sier i sitt hjerte: Herren gjør hverken godt eller ondt. ¹³ Og deres gods skal bli til rov, og deres hus ødelegges; de skal bygge hus, men ikke bo i dem, og plante vingårder, men ikke drikke vin fra dem. ¹⁴ Nær er Herrens dag, den store; den er nær og kommer med stor hast. Hør! Det er Herrens dag! Full av angst skriker da kjempen. ¹⁵ En vredes dag er den dag, en dag med nød og trengsel, en dag med omstyrtelse og ødeleggelse, en dag med mørke og mulm, en dag med skyer og skodde, ¹⁶ en dag med basunklang og hærskrik mot de faste byer og de høie murtinder. ¹⁷ Da vil jeg sette slik angst i menneskene at de går der som blinde, fordi de har syndet mot Herren; og deres blod skal utøses som støv, og deres kjøtt som møkk. ¹⁸ Hverken deres sølv eller deres gull skal kunne berge dem på Herrens vredes dag; ved hans nidkjærhets ild skal hele jorden bli fortært; for han vil gjøre ende, ja brått gjøre ende på alle dem som bor på jorden.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Cuvîntul Domnului, care fost spus lui Ţefania, fiul lui Cuşi, fiul lui Ghedalia, fiul lui Amaria, fiul lui Ezechia, pe vremea lui Iosia, fiul lui Amon, împăratul lui Iuda. ² ,,Voi nimici totul de pe faţa pămîntului, zice Domnul.`` ³ ,,Voi nimici oamenii şi vitele, păsările cerului şi peştii mării, pietrele de poticnire, şi pe cei răi împreună cu ele; voi nimici cu desăvîrşire pe oameni de pe faţa pămîntului, zice Domnul.`` ⁴ ,,Îmi voi întinde mîna împotriva lui Iuda, şi împotriva tuturor locuitorilor Ierusalimului; voi nimici cu desăvîrşire din locul acesta rămăşiţele lui Baal, numele slujitorilor săi şi preoţii împreună cu ei, ⁵ pe ceice se închină pe acoperişuri înaintea oştirii cerurilor, pe cei ce se închină jurînd pe Domnul, dar cari jură şi pe împăratul lor Malcam, ⁶ pe cei ce s'au abătut dela Domnul, şi pe cei ce nu caută pe Domnul, nici nu întreabă de El.`` ⁷ ,,Tăcere înaintea Domnului Dumnezeu! Căci ziua Domnului este aproape, căci Domnul a pregătit jertfa, Şi -a sfinţit oaspeţii. ⁸ În ziua jertfei Domnului voi pedepsi pe voivozii şi fiii împăratului, şi pe toţi cei ce poartă haine străine. ⁹ În ziua aceea, voi pedepsi şi pe toţi cei ce sar peste prag, pe cei ce umplu de silnicie şi de înşelăciune casa stăpînului lor. ¹⁰ În ziua aceea, zice Domnul, se vor auzi strigăte de jale la poarta peştilor, urlete în cealaltă mahala a cetăţii, şi un mare prăpăd de dealuri. ¹¹ Văitaţi-vă locuitori din Macteş. Căci toţi cei ce fac negoţ sînt nimiciţi, toţi cei încărcaţi cu argint sînt nimiciţi cu desăvîrşire. ¹² În vremea aceea, voi scormoni Ierusalimul cu felinare, şi voi pedepsi pe toţi oamenii cari se bizuiesc pe drojdiile lor, şi zic în inima lor:,Domnul nu va face nici bine nici rău!` ¹³ Averile lor vor fi de jaf, şi casele lor vor fi pustiite; vor zidi case şi nu le vor locui, vor sădi vii, şi nu vor bea vin din ele.`` ¹⁴ Ziua cea mare a Domnului este aproape, este aproape şi vine în graba mare! Da, este aproape ziua cea amarnică a Domnului, şi viteazul ţipă cu amar. ¹⁵ Ziua aceea este o zi de mînie, o zi de necaz şi de groază, o zi de pustiire şi nimicire, o zi de întunerec şi negură, o zi de nori şi de întunecime, ¹⁶ o zi în care va răsuna trîmbiţa şi strigătele de război împotriva cetăţilor întărite şi turnurilor înalte. ¹⁷ Atunci voi pune pe oameni la strîmtoare, şi vor bîjbăi ca nişte orbi, pentru că au păcătuit împotriva Domnului; de aceea le voi vărsa sîngele ca praful, şi carnea ca gunoiul! ¹⁸ Nici argintul, nici aurul lor nu vor putea să -i izbăvească, în ziua mîniei Domnului; ci toată ţara va fi mistuită de focul geloziei Lui, căci va nimici deodată pe toţi locuitorii ţării.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Слово Господнє, що було до Софонії, сина Куші, сина Ґедалії, сина Амарії, сина Єзекії, за днів Йосії, Амонового сина, Юдиного царя. ² Забираючи, все заберу з-над поверхні землі, промовляє Господь. ³ Заберу Я людину й худобу, заберу птаство небесне і риби морські, і спокуси з безбожними, і витну людину з поверхні землі, промовляє Господь. ⁴ І руку Свою простягну Я на Юду і на всіх мешканців Єрусалиму, і вигублю з місця оцього останок Ваала, імення жерців зо священиками, ⁵ і тих, хто вклоняється на дахах світилам небесним, і тих, хто вклоняється, хто присягає Господом, і хто присягає царем своїм, ⁶ і тих, хто відступає від Господа, і хто не шукає Господа, і не звертається до Нього. ⁷ Замовчи перед Господом Богом, бо близький день Господній, бо жертву Господь приготовив, посвятив Своїх покликаних. ⁸ І станеться в день Господньої жертви, і навіщу Я князів, і синів царя, і всіх, хто зодягає одежу чужинну. ⁹ І навіщу Я кожного, хто перескакує через поріг того дня, тих, хто наповнює дім свого пана насиллям й оманою. ¹⁰ І буде в дні тому, говорить Господь, голос крику із Рибної брами, і завивання із Міста Нового, і велика руїна із пагірків. ¹¹ Ридайте, мешканці Махтешу, бо понищений буде ввесь купецький народ, будуть вигублені всі, хто важить срібло. ¹² І станеться часу того, і перешукаю Я з лямпами Єрусалим, і навіщу Я тих мужів, які задубіли на дріжджах своїх, що говорять у серці своєму: Господь не вчинить добра, і лиха не зробить. ¹³ І здобиччю стане все їхнє багатство, а їхні доми за спустошення, і будуть вони будувати доми, але в них не сидітимуть, і виноградники будуть садити, та вина їхнього не питимуть. ¹⁴ Близький день Господній великий, він близький й дуже швидко настане. Ось голос Господнього дня, тоді гірко кричатиме навіть хоробрий! ¹⁵ День гніву цей день, день смутку й насилля, день збурення та зруйнування, день темноти та темряви, день хмари й імли, ¹⁶ день сурмлення й окрику проти укріплених міст та проти високих міських заборолів. ¹⁷ І буду чинити Я утиск людині, і будуть ходити вони, як сліпі, бо згрішили вони проти Господа. І виллється кров їхня, немов той пісок, а їхнє тіло, як гній. ¹⁸ Спасти їх не зможе в день гніву Господнього ні їхнє срібло, ані золото їхнє, і огнем Його заздрощів буде поїджена ціла земля, бо скінчення тільки приспішене зробить зо всіми мешканцями Краю цього.
