西番雅書 1
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1當 猶大 王 亞們 的兒子 約西亞 在位的時候，耶和華的話臨到 希西家 的玄孫， 亞瑪利雅 的曾孫， 基大利 的孫子， 古示 的兒子 西番雅 。
1The LORD’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.
2耶和華說： 我必從地上除滅萬類。
2I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
3我必除滅人和牲畜， 與空中的鳥、海裏的魚， 以及絆腳石和惡人； 我必將人從地上剪除。 這是耶和華說的。
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 the LORD.
4我必伸手攻擊 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的一切居民， 也必從這地方剪除所剩下的 巴力 ， 並 基瑪林 的名和祭司，
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,
5與那些在房頂上敬拜天上萬象的， 並那些敬拜耶和華指着他起誓， 又指着 瑪勒堪 起誓的，
5those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,
6與那些轉去不跟從耶和華的， 和不尋求耶和華也不訪問他的。
6those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.
7你要在主耶和華面前靜默無聲， 因為耶和華的日子快到。 耶和華已經預備祭物， 將他的客分別為聖。
7Be 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到了我－耶和華獻祭的日子， 必懲罰首領和王子， 並一切穿外邦衣服的。
8It 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到那日，我必懲罰一切跳過門檻、 將強暴和詭詐 得來之物 充滿主人房屋的。
9In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
10耶和華說：當那日， 從 魚門 必發出悲哀的聲音， 從二城發出哀號的聲音， 從山間發出大破裂的響聲。
10In 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瑪革提施 的居民哪，你們要哀號， 因為 迦南 的商民都滅亡了！ 凡搬運銀子的都被剪除。
11Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.
12那時，我必用燈巡查 耶路撒冷 ； 我必懲罰那些 如酒 在渣滓上澄清的； 他們心裏說： 耶和華必不降福，也不降禍。
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, “The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.”
13他們的財寶必成為掠物； 他們的房屋必變為荒場。 他們必建造房屋，卻不得住在其內； 栽種葡萄園，卻不得喝所出的酒。
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.
14耶和華的大日臨近， 臨近而且甚快， 乃是耶和華日子的風聲； 勇士必痛痛地哭號。
14The 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那日是忿怒的日子， 是急難困苦的日子， 是荒廢淒涼的日子， 是黑暗幽冥、密雲烏黑的日子，
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,
16是吹角吶喊的日子， 要攻擊堅固城和高大的城樓。
16a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.
17我必使災禍臨到人身上， 使他們行走如同瞎眼的， 因為得罪了我。 他們的血必倒出如灰塵； 他們的肉必拋棄如糞土。
17I will bring such distress on men that they will walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
18當耶和華發怒的日子， 他們的金銀不能救他們； 他的忿怒如火必燒滅全地， 毀滅這地的一切居民，而且大大毀滅。
18Neither 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.
