스바냐 1

1아몬의 아들 유다 왕 요시아의 시대에 스바냐에게 임한 여호와의 말씀이라 스바냐는 히스기야의 현손이요 아마랴의 증손이요 그다랴의 손자요 구시의 아들이었더라 2여호와께서 가라사대 내가 지면에서 모든 것을 진멸하리라 3내가 사람과 짐승을 진멸하고 공중의 새와 바다의 고기와 거치게 하는 것과 악인들을 아울러 진멸할 것이라 내가 사람을 지면에서 멸절하리라 나 여호와의 말이니라 4내가 유다와 예루살렘 모든 거민 위에 손을 펴서 바알의 남아 있는 것을 그곳에서 멸절하며 그마림이란 이름과 및 그 제사장들을 아울러 멸절하며 5무릇 지붕에서 하늘의 일월성신에게 경배하는 자와 경배하며 여호와께 맹세하면서 말감을 가리켜 맹세하는 자와 6여호와를 배반하고 좇지 아니한 자와 여호와를 찾지도 아니하며 구하지도 아니한 자를 멸절하리라 7주 여호와 앞에서 잠잠할지어다 이는 여호와의 날이 가까웠으므로 여호와가 희생을 준비하고 그 청할 자를 구별하였음이니라 8여호와의 희생의 날에 내가 방백들과 왕자들과 이방의 의복을 입은 자들을 벌할 것이며 9그 날에 문턱을 뛰어 넘어서 강포와 궤휼로 자기 주인의 집에 채운 자들을 내가 벌하리라 10나 여호와가 말하노라 그 날에 어문에서는 곡성이, 제이구역에서는 부르짖은 소리가, 작은 산들에서는 무너지는 소리가 일어나리라 11막데스 거민들아 너희는 애곡하라 가나안 백성이 다 패망하고 은을 수운하는 자가 끊어졌음이니라 12그 때에 내가 등불로 예루살렘에 두루 찾아 무릇 찌끼 같이 가라앉아서 심중에 스스로 이르기를 여호와께서는 복도 내리지 아니하시며 화도 내리지 아니하시리라 하는 자를 벌하리니 13그들의 재물이 노략되며 그들의 집이 황무할 것이라 그들이 집을 건축하나 거기 거하지 못하며 포도원을 심으나 그 포도주를 마시지 못하리라 14여호와의 큰 날이 가깝도다 가깝고도 심히 빠르도다 여호와의 날의 소리로다 용사가 거기서 심히 애곡하는도다 15그 날은 분노의 날이요 환난과 고통의 날이요 황무와 패괴의 날이요 캄캄하고 어두운 날이요 구름과 흑암의 날이요 16나팔을 불어 경고하며 견고한 성읍을 치며 높은 망대를 치는 날이로다 17내가 사람들에게 고난을 내려 소경 같이 행하게 하리니 이는 그들이 나 여호와께 범죄하였음이라 또 그들의 피는 흘리워서 티끌 같이 되며 그들의 살은 분토 같이 될지라 18그들의 은과 금이 여호와의 분노의 날에 능히 그들을 건지지 못할 것이며 이 온 땅이 여호와의 질투의 불에 삼키우리니 이는 여호와가 이 땅 모든 거민을 멸절하되 놀랍게 멸절할 것임이니라

1Yahweh’s word which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah. 2I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says Yahweh. 3I 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 Yahweh. 4I 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, 5those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by Yahweh and also swear by Malcam, 6those who have turned back from following Yahweh, and those who haven’t sought Yahweh nor inquired after him. 7Be silent at the presence of the Lord Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh is at hand. For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests. 8It will happen in the day of Yahweh’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king’s sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing. 9In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit. 10In that day, says Yahweh, 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. 11Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off. 12It 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, “Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil.” 13Their wealth will become a plunder, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine. 14The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly. 15That 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, 16a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements. 17I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yahweh, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. 18Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh’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.

1Het woord des HEEREN, hetwelk geschied is tot Zefanja, den zoon van Cuschi, den zoon van Gedalja, den zoon van Amarja, den zoon van Hizkia; in de dagen van Josia, den zoon van Amon, den koning van Juda. 2Ik zal ganselijk alles wegrapen uit dit land, spreekt de HEERE. 3Ik zal wegrapen mensen en beesten; Ik zal wegrapen de vogelen des hemels, en de vissen der zee, en de ergernissen met de goddelozen; ja, Ik zal de mensen uit dit land uitroeien, spreekt de HEERE. 4En Ik zal Mijn hand uitstrekken tegen Juda, en tegen alle inwoners van Jeruzalem; en Ik zal uit deze plaats uitroeien het overblijfsel van Baal, en den naam der Chemarim met de priesters; 5En die zich nederbuigen op de daken voor het heir des hemels, en die zich nederbuigende zweren bij den HEERE, en zweren bij Malcham; 6En die terugkeren van achter den HEERE; en die den HEERE niet zoeken, en vragen naar Hem niet. 7Zwijgt voor het aangezicht des Heeren HEEREN; want de dag des HEEREN is nabij; want de HEERE heeft een slachtoffer bereid, Hij heeft Zijn genoden geheiligd. 8En het zal geschieden in den dag van het slachtoffer des HEEREN, dat Ik bezoeking zal doen over de vorsten, en over de kinderen des konings, en over allen, die zich kleden met vreemde kleding. 9Ook zal Ik ten zelven dage bezoeking doen over al wie over den dorpel springt; die het huis hunner heren vullen met geweld en bedrog. 10En er zal te dien dage, spreekt de HEERE, een stem des gekrijts zijn van de Vispoort af, en een gehuil van het tweede gedeelte, en een grote breuk van de heuvelen af. 11Huilt, gij inwoners der laagte! Want al het volk van koophandel is uitgehouwen, al de gelddragers zijn uitgeroeid. 12En het zal geschieden te dien tijde, Ik zal Jeruzalem met lantaarnen doorzoeken; en Ik zal bezoeking doen over de mannen, die stijf geworden zijn op hun droesem, die in hun hart zeggen: De HEERE doet geen goed, en Hij doet geen kwaad. 13Daarom zal hun vermogen ten roof worden, en hun huizen tot verwoesting; zij bouwen wel huizen, maar zij zullen ze niet bewonen; en zij planten wijngaarden, maar zij zullen derzelver wijn niet drinken. 14De grote dag des HEEREN is nabij; hij is nabij, en zeer haastende; de stem van den dag des HEEREN; de held zal aldaar bitterlijk schreeuwen. 15Die dag zal een dag der verbolgenheid zijn; een dag der benauwdheid en des angstes, een dag der woestheid en verwoesting, een dag der duisternis en der donkerheid, een dag der wolk en der dikke donkerheid; 16Een dag der bazuin en des geklanks tegen de vaste steden en tegen de hoge hoeken. 17En Ik zal de mensen bang maken, dat zij zullen gaan als de blinden; want zij hebben tegen den HEERE gezondigd; en hun bloed zal vergoten worden als stof, en hun vlees zal worden als drek. 18Noch hun zilver, noch hun goud zal hen kunnen redden ten dage der verbolgenheid des HEEREN; maar door het vuur Zijns ijvers zal dit ganse land verteerd worden; want Hij zal een voleinding maken, gewisselijk, een haastige, met al de inwoners dezes lands.
