Zephaniah 1

KJV

1  The word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 came1961 unto413 Zephaniah6846 the son1121 of Cushi,3570 the son1121 of Gedaliah,1436 the son1121 of Amariah,568 the son1121 of Hizkiah,2396 in the days3117 of Josiah2977 the son1121 of Amon,526 king4428 of Judah.3063

2  I will utterly consume622 5486 all3605 things from off4480 5921 6440 the land,127 saith5002 the LORD.3068

3  I will consume5486 man120 and beast;929 I will consume5486 the fowls5775 of the heaven,8064 and the fishes1709 of the sea,3220 and the stumblingblocks4384 with854 the wicked;7563 and I will cut off3772 853 man120 from off4480 5921 6440 the land,127 saith5002 the LORD.3068

4  I will also stretch out5186 mine hand3027 upon5921 Judah,3063 and upon5921 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem;3389 and I will cut off3772 853 the remnant7605 of Baal1168 from4480 this2088 place,4725 and 853 the name8034 of the Chemarims3649 with5973 the priests;3548

5  And them that worship7812 the host6635 of heaven8064 upon5921 the housetops;1406 and them that worship7812 and that swear7650 by the LORD,3068 and that swear7650 by Malcham;4445

6  And them that are turned back5472 from4480 310 the LORD;3068 and those that834 have not3808 sought1245 853 the LORD,3068 nor3808 inquired1875 for him.

7  Hold thy peace2013 at the presence4480 6440 of the Lord136 GOD:3069 for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is at hand:7138 for3588 the LORD3068 hath prepared3559 a sacrifice,2077 he hath bid6942 his guests.7121

8  And it shall come to pass1961 in the day3117 of the LORD's3068 sacrifice,2077 that I will punish6485 5921 the princes,8269 and the king's4428 children,1121 and all3605 such as are clothed3847 with strange5237 apparel.4403

9  In the same1931 day3117 also will I punish6485 5921 all3605 those that leap1801 on5921 the threshold,4670 which fill4390 their masters'113 houses1004 with violence2555 and deceit.4820

10  And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that there shall be the noise6963 of a cry6818 from the fish1709 gate,4480 8179 and a howling3215 from4480 the second,4932 and a great1419 crashing7667 from the hills.4480 1389

11  Howl,3213 ye inhabitants3427 of Maktesh,4389 for3588 all3605 the merchant3667 people5971 are cut down;1820 all3605 they that bear5187 silver3701 are cut off.3772

12  And it shall come to pass1961 at that1931 time,6256 that I will search2664 853 Jerusalem3389 with candles,5216 and punish6485 5921 the men376 that are settled7087 on5921 their lees:8105 that say559 in their heart,3824 The LORD3068 will not3808 do good,3190 neither3808 will he do evil.7489

13  Therefore their goods2428 shall become1961 a booty,4933 and their houses1004 a desolation:8077 they shall also build1129 houses,1004 but not3808 inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 but not3808 drink8354 853 the wine3196 thereof.

14  The great1419 day3117 of the LORD3068 is near,7138 it is near,7138 and hasteth4118 greatly,3966 even the voice6963 of the day3117 of the LORD:3068 the mighty man1368 shall cry6873 there8033 bitterly.4751

15  That1931 day3117 is a day3117 of wrath,5678 a day3117 of trouble6869 and distress,4691 a day3117 of wasteness7722 and desolation,4875 a day3117 of darkness2822 and gloominess,653 a day3117 of clouds6051 and thick darkness,6205

16  A day3117 of the trumpet7782 and alarm8643 against5921 the fenced1219 cities,5892 and against5921 the high1364 towers.6438

17  And I will bring distress6887 upon men,120 that they shall walk1980 like blind men,5787 because3588 they have sinned2398 against the LORD:3068 and their blood1818 shall be poured out8210 as dust,6083 and their flesh3894 as the dung.1561

18  Neither3808 1571 their silver3701 nor1571 their gold2091 shall be able3201 to deliver5337 them in the day3117 of the LORD's3068 wrath;5678 but the whole3605 land776 shall be devoured398 by the fire784 of his jealousy:7068 for3588 he shall make6213 even389 a speedy926 riddance3617 of854 all3605 them that dwell3427 in the land.776

1 λόγος κυρίου ὃς ἐγενήθη πρὸς Σοφονιαν τὸν τοῦ Χουσι υἱὸν Γοδολιου τοῦ Αμαριου τοῦ Εζεκιου ἐν ἡμέραις Ιωσιου υἱοῦ Αμων βασιλέως Ιουδα

2 ἐκλείψει ἐκλιπέτω πάντα ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς λέγει κύριος

3 ἐκλιπέτω ἄνθρωπος καὶ κτήνη ἐκλιπέτω τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐξαρῶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς γῆς λέγει κύριος

4 καὶ ἐκτενῶ τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ Ιουδαν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Ιερουσαλημ καὶ ἐξαρῶ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου τούτου τὰ ὀνόματα τῆς Βααλ καὶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν ἱερέων

5 καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας ἐπὶ τὰ δώματα τῇ στρατιᾷ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τοὺς ὀμνύοντας κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ τοὺς ὀμνύοντας κατὰ τοῦ βασιλέως αὐτῶν

6 καὶ τοὺς ἐκκλίνοντας ἀπὸ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ τοὺς μὴ ζητήσαντας τὸν κύριον καὶ τοὺς μὴ ἀντεχομένους τοῦ κυρίου

7 εὐλαβεῖσθε ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ διότι ἐγγὺς ἡ ἡμέρα τοῦ κυρίου ὅτι ἡτοίμακεν κύριος τὴν θυσίαν αὐτοῦ ἡγίακεν τοὺς κλητοὺς αὐτοῦ

8 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θυσίας κυρίου καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐνδεδυμένους ἐνδύματα ἀλλότρια

9 καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπὶ πάντας ἐμφανῶς ἐπὶ τὰ πρόπυλα ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοὺς πληροῦντας τὸν οἶκον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτῶν ἀσεβείας καὶ δόλου

10 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ λέγει κύριος φωνὴ κραυγῆς ἀπὸ πύλης ἀποκεντούντων καὶ ὀλολυγμὸς ἀπὸ τῆς δευτέρας καὶ συντριμμὸς μέγας ἀπὸ τῶν βουνῶν

11 θρηνήσατε οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν κατακεκομμένην ὅτι ὡμοιώθη πᾶς ὁ λαὸς Χανααν ἐξωλεθρεύθησαν πάντες οἱ ἐπηρμένοι ἀργυρίῳ

12 καὶ ἔσται ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐξερευνήσω τὴν Ιερουσαλημ μετὰ λύχνου καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς καταφρονοῦντας ἐπὶ τὰ φυλάγματα αὐτῶν οἱ λέγοντες ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ ἀγαθοποιήσῃ κύριος οὐδ᾽ οὐ μὴ κακώσῃ

13 καὶ ἔσται ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν εἰς διαρπαγὴν καὶ οἱ οἶκοι αὐτῶν εἰς ἀφανισμόν καὶ οἰκοδομήσουσιν οἰκίας καὶ οὐ μὴ κατοικήσουσιν ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ καταφυτεύσουσιν ἀμπελῶνας καὶ οὐ μὴ πίωσιν τὸν οἶνον αὐτῶν

14 ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἡ ἡμέρα κυρίου ἡ μεγάλη ἐγγὺς καὶ ταχεῖα σφόδρα φωνὴ ἡμέρας κυρίου πικρὰ καὶ σκληρά τέτακται δυνατή

15 ἡμέρα ὀργῆς ἡ ἡμέρα ἐκείνη ἡμέρα θλίψεως καὶ ἀνάγκης ἡμέρα ἀωρίας καὶ ἀφανισμοῦ ἡμέρα σκότους καὶ γνόφου ἡμέρα νεφέλης καὶ ὁμίχλης

16 ἡμέρα σάλπιγγος καὶ κραυγῆς ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς γωνίας τὰς ὑψηλάς

17 καὶ ἐκθλίψω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ πορεύσονται ὡς τυφλοί ὅτι τῷ κυρίῳ ἐξήμαρτον καὶ ἐκχεεῖ τὸ αἷμα αὐτῶν ὡς χοῦν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῶν ὡς βόλβιτα

18 καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν οὐ μὴ δύνηται ἐξελέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς κυρίου καὶ ἐν πυρὶ ζήλους αὐτοῦ καταναλωθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ διότι συντέλειαν καὶ σπουδὴν ποιήσει ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν

1 Verbum Domini quod factum est ad Sophoniam, filium Chusi, filii Godoliæ, filii Amariæ, filii Ezeciæ, in diebus Josiæ, filii Amon, regis Judæ.

2 [Congregans congregabo omnia a facie terræ, dicit Dominus:

3 congregans hominem et pecus,
congregans volatilia cæli et pisces maris:
et ruinæ impiorum erunt,
et disperdam homines a facie terræ, dicit Dominus.

4 Et extendam manum meam super Judam
et super omnes habitantes Jerusalem:
et disperdam de loco hoc reliquias Baal,
et nomina ædituorum cum sacerdotibus;

5 et eos qui adorant super tecta militiam cæli,
et adorant et jurant in Domino,
et jurant in Melchom;

6 et qui avertuntur de post tergum Domini,
et qui non quæsierunt Dominum,
nec investigaverunt eum.

7 Silete a facie Domini Dei,
quia juxta est dies Domini:
quia præparavit Dominus hostiam;
sanctificavit vocatos suos.

8 Et erit: in die hostiæ Domini,
visitabo super principes,
et super filios regis,
et super omnes qui induti sunt veste peregrina;

9 et visitabo super omnem qui arroganter ingreditur super limen in die illa,
qui complent domum Domini Dei sui iniquitate et dolo.

10 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus,
vox clamoris a porta piscium,
et ululatus a Secunda,
et contritio magna a collibus.

11 Ululate, habitatores Pilæ:
conticuit omnis populus Chanaan,
disperierunt omnes involuti argento.

12 Et erit in tempore illo:
scrutabor Jerusalem in lucernis,
et visitabo super viros defixos in fæcibus suis,
qui dicunt in cordibus suis:
Non faciet bene Dominus, et non faciet male.

13 Et erit fortitudo eorum in direptionem,
et domus eorum in desertum:
et ædificabunt domos, et non habitabunt;
et plantabunt vineas, et non bibent vinum earum.

14 Juxta est dies Domini magnus:
juxta est, et velox nimis.
Vox diei Domini amara:
tribulabitur ibi fortis.

15 Dies iræ dies illa,
dies tribulationis et angustiæ,
dies calamitatis et miseriæ,
dies tenebrarum et caliginis,
dies nebulæ et turbinis,

16 dies tubæ et clangoris super civitates munitas,
et super angulos excelsos.

17 Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut cæci,
quia Domino peccaverunt;
et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus,
et corpora eorum sicut stercora.

18 Sed et argentum eorum et aurum eorum non poterit liberare eos
in die iræ Domini:
in igne zeli ejus devorabitur omnis terra,
quia consummationem cum festinatione faciet
cunctis habitantibus terram.]
