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.
1ユダの王アモンの子ヨシヤの時代に、ヒゼキヤの子アマルヤ、その子ゲダルヤ、その子クシの子ゼパニヤに臨んだ主 の言葉。
2I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
2「私は地の表から、すべてのものをことごとく一掃する」と主は言われる。
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.
3「人も獣も一掃する。空の鳥、海の魚、悪者たちとともに瓦礫の山も一掃する。地の表から人を断ち滅ぼす」と主は言われる。
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 the LORD and also swear by Malcam,
5また、屋上で天の軍勢を拝む者たち、主を拝み、主に誓いながら、マルカムにも誓う者たち、
6those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.
6主に従うことをやめた者たち、主を求めず、主に伺いを立てない者たちを断ち滅ぼす。」
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.
7主 なる神の前で静まれ。主の日は近い。主はいけにえを備え、招いた者たちを聖別された。
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.
8「主のいけにえの日に、私は君主たち、王の息子たち、外国の衣を身に着けるすべての者を罰する。
9In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
9その日、私は敷居を飛び越え、暴虐と欺きで主人の家を満たすすべての者を罰する。」
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.
10「その日には」と主は言われる。「魚の門から叫び声が、第二地区から嘆き声が、丘々から大きな崩壊の響きが聞こえる。
11Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.
11マクテシュの住民よ、泣き叫べ。カナンの民は皆滅び、銀を積んでいた者たちは皆断ち滅ぼされた。
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.”

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.
13彼らの財産は略奪され、家々は荒れ果てる。家を建てても、そこに住むことはない。ぶどう畑を植えても、そのぶどう酒を飲むことはない。」
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.
14主の大いなる日は近い。近い。急速に迫っている。聞け、主の日の声を。勇士さえ、そこで苦く叫ぶ。
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,
15その日は憤りの日、苦難と苦悩の日、荒廃と破滅の日、闇と暗黒の日、雲と濃い闇の日、
16a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.
16城壁のある町々と高い胸壁に向かって、角笛と警報が鳴る日である。
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.
17「私は人々を苦しめる。彼らは目の見えない者のように歩く。主に対して罪を犯したからだ。彼らの血はちりのように注ぎ出され、その肉は糞のように捨てられる。
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.
18主の憤りの日には、銀も金も彼らを救えない。全地は主のねたみの火に焼き尽くされる。主はこの地に住むすべての者に、まことに恐るべき終わりをもたらされる。」
