西番雅書 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。

dāng yóu dà wáng yà men de ér zi yuē xī yà zài wèi de shí hòu ， yē hé huá de huà lín dào xī xī jiā de xuán sūn ， yà mǎ lì yǎ de zēng sūn ， jī dà lì de sūn zi ， gǔ shì de ér zi xī fān yǎ 。

The 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.

耶和華說： 我必從地上除滅萬類。

yē hé huá shuō ： wǒ bì cóng dì shàng chú miè wàn lèi 。

I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

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。

wǒ bì chú miè rén hé shēng chù ， yǔ kōng zhōng de niǎo 、 hǎi lǐ de yú ， yǐ jí bàn jiǎo shí hé è rén ； wǒ bì jiāng rén cóng dì shàng jiǎn chú 。 zhè shì yē hé huá shuō de 。

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.

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，

wǒ bì shēn shǒu gōng jī yóu dà hé yē lù sā lěng de yí qiè jū mín ， yě bì cóng zhè dì fāng jiǎn chú suǒ shèng xià de bā lì ， bìng jī mǎ lín de míng hé jì sī ，

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,

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，

yǔ nà xiē zài fáng dǐng shàng jìng bài tiān shàng wàn xiàng de ， bìng nà xiē jìng bài yē hé huá zhǐ zhe tā qǐ shì ， yòu zhǐ zhe mǎ lè kān qǐ shì de ，

those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,

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。

yǔ nà xiē zhuǎn qù bù gēn cóng yē hé huá de ， hé bù xún qiú yē hé huá yě bù fǎng wèn tā de 。

those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.

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。

nǐ yào zài zhǔ yē hé huá miàn qián jìng mò wú shēng ， yīn wèi yē hé huá de rì zǐ kuài dào 。 yē hé huá yǐ jīng yù bèi jì wù ， jiāng tā de kè fēn bié wèi shèng 。

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.

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。

dào le wǒ — yē hé huá xiàn jì de rì zi ， bì chéng fá shǒu lǐng hé wáng zǐ ， bìng yí qiè chuān wài bāng yī fu de 。

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.

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。

dào nà rì ， wǒ bì chéng fá yí qiè tiào guò mén kǎn 、 jiāng qiáng bào hé guǐ zhà dé lái zhī wù chōng mǎn zhǔ rén fáng wū de 。

In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.

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。

yē hé huá shuō ： dāng nà rì ， cóng yú mén bì fā chū bēi āi de shēng yīn ， cóng èr chéng fā chū āi háo de shēng yīn ， cóng shān jiān fā chū dà pò liè de xiǎng shēng 。

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.

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。

mǎ gé tí shī de jū mín nǎ ， nǐ men yào āi háo ， yīn wèi jiā nán de shāng mín dōu miè wáng le ！ fán bān yùn yín zi de dōu bèi jiǎn chú 。

Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.

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。

nà shí ， wǒ bì yòng dēng xún chá yē lù sā lěng ； wǒ bì chéng fá nà xiē rú jiǔ zài zhā zǐ shàng chéng qīng de ； tā men xīn lǐ shuō ： yē hé huá bì bú jiàng fú ， yě bú jiàng huò 。

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.”

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。

tā men de cái bǎo bì chéng wèi lüè wù ； tā men de fáng wū bì biàn wèi huāng chǎng 。 tā men bì jiàn zào fáng wū ， què bù dé zhù zài qí nèi ； zāi zhòng pú táo yuán ， què bù dé hē suǒ chū de jiǔ 。

Their 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.

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。

yē hé huá de dà rì lín jìn ， lín jìn ér qiě shèn kuài ， nǎi shì yē hé huá rì zi de fēng shēng ； yǒng shì bì tòng tòng dì kū hào 。

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.

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，

nà rì shì fèn nù de rì zi ， shì jí nán kùn kǔ de rì zǐ ， shì huāng fèi qī liáng de rì zi ， shì hēi àn yōu míng 、 mì yún wū hēi de rì zi ，

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,

是吹角吶喊的日子， 要攻擊堅固城和高大的城樓。

shì chuī jiǎo nà hǎn de rì zi ， yào gōng jī jiān gù chéng hé gāo dà de chéng lóu 。

a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.

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。

wǒ bì shǐ zāi huò lín dào rén shēn shàng ， shǐ tā men xíng zǒu rú tóng xiā yǎn de ， yīn wèi dé zuì le wǒ 。 tā men de xuè bì dǎo chū rú huī chén ； tā men de ròu bì pāo qì rú fèn tǔ 。

I 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.

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。

dāng yē hé huá fā nù de rì zi ， tā men de jīn yín bù néng jiù tā men ； tā de fèn nù rú huǒ bì shāo miè quán dì ， huǐ miè zhè dì de yí qiè jū mín ， ér qiě dà dà huǐ miè 。

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.
