1Ang salita ng Panginoon na dumating kay Zefanias na anak ni Cushi, na anak ni Gedalias, na anak ni Amarias, na anak ni Ezechias, nang mga kaarawan ni Josias na anak ni Amon, na hari sa Juda. 2Aking lubos na lilipulin ang lahat na bagay sa ibabaw ng lupa, sabi ng Panginoon. 3Aking lilipulin ang tao at ang hayop; aking lilipulin ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, at ang mga isda sa dagat, at ang mga katitisuran na kasama ng mga masama; at aking ihihiwalay ang tao sa ibabaw ng lupa, sabi ng Panginoon. 4At aking iuunat ang aking kamay sa Juda, at sa lahat na nananahan sa Jerusalem; at aking ihihiwalay ang nalabi kay Baal sa dakong ito, at ang pangalan ng mga Chemarim sangpu ng mga saserdote; 5At ang nagsisisamba sa natatanaw sa langit sa mga bubungan ng bahay; at ang nagsisisamba na nanunumpa sa Panginoon at nanunumpa sa pangalan ni Malcam; 6At ang nagsisitalikod na mula sa pagsunod sa Panginoon; at yaong mga hindi nagsisihanap sa Panginoon, ni sumangguni man sa kaniya. 7Pumayapa ka sa harap ng Panginoong Dios; sapagka't ang kaarawan ng Panginoon ay malapit na: sapagka't inihanda ng Panginoon ang isang hain, kaniyang itinalaga ang kaniyang mga panauhin. 8At mangyayari sa kaarawan ng hain sa Panginoon, na aking parurusahan ang mga prinsipe, at ang mga anak ng hari, at ang lahat na nangagsusuot ng pananamit ng taga ibang lupa. 9At sa araw na yaon ay aking parurusahan yaong lahat na nagsisilukso sa pasukan, na pinupuno ang bahay ng kanilang panginoon ng pangdadahas at pagdaraya. 10At sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, magkakaroon ng ingay ng hiyawan na mula sa pintuang-bayan ng mga isda, at ng pananambitan mula sa ikalawang bahagi, at malaking hugong na mula sa mga burol. 11Manambitan kayo, kayong mga nananahan sa Mactes; sapagka't ang buong bayan ng Canaan ay nalansag; yaong napapasanan ng pilak ay nangahiwalay. 12At mangyayari sa panahong yaon, na ang Jerusalem ay sisiyasatin kong may mga ilawan; at aking parurusahan ang mga tao na nagsisiupo sa kanilang mga latak, na nangagsasabi sa kanilang puso, Ang Panginoo'y hindi gagawa ng mabuti, ni gagawa man siya ng masama. 13At ang kanilang kayamanan ay magiging samsam, at ang kanilang mga bahay ay kasiraan: oo, sila'y mangagtatayo ng mga bahay, nguni't hindi nila titirahan; at sila'y mag-uubasan, nguni't hindi sila magsisiinom ng alak niyaon. 14Ang dakilang kaarawan ng Panginoon ay malapit na, malapit na at nagmamadaling mainam, sa makatuwid baga'y ang tinig ng kaarawan ng Panginoon; ang makapangyarihang tao ay sumisigaw roon ng kalagimlagim. 15Ang araw na yaon ay kaarawan ng kapootan, kaarawan ng kabagabagan at kahapisan, kaarawan ng kawakasan at kasiraan, kaarawan ng kadiliman at kalumbayan, kaarawan ng mga alapaap at pagsasalimuot ng kadiliman, 16Kaarawan ng pakakak at ng hudyatan, laban sa mga bayang nakukutaan, at laban sa mataas na kuta. 17At aking dadalhan ng kahapisan ang mga tao, na sila'y magsisilakad na parang mga bulag, sapagka't sila'y nangagkasala laban sa Panginoon; at ang kanilang dugo ay mabububo na parang alabok, at ang kanilang katawan ay parang dumi. 18Kahit ang kanilang pilak o ang kanilang ginto man ay hindi makapagliligtas sa kanila sa kaarawan ng kapootan ng Panginoon; kundi ang buong lupain ay masusupok sa pamamagitan ng apoy ng kaniyang paninibugho: sapagka't wawakasan niya, oo, isang kakilakilabot na wakas, nilang lahat na nagsisitahan sa lupain.
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.
