Sefanija 3

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Teško nepokornom, okaljanom, nasilničkom gradu!	1 Woe to the city, rebellious and polluted, to the tyrannical city!
2 On nikada nije čuo poziva, nikada nije prihvatio pouku; Jahvi on se nikada nije povjerio; svome Bogu nije se nikada približio.	2 She hears no voice, accepts no correction; In the LORD she has not trusted, to her God she has not drawn near.
3 Njegovi su knezovi usred njega – lavovi koji riču; njegovi su suci – vuci večernji koji do jutra nisu kosti glodali;	3 Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves of the night that have had no bones to gnaw by morning.
4 proroci su njegovi – razmetljivci, puki lažljivci, svećenici njegovi skvrne svetište, krše Zakon.	4 Her prophets are insolent, treacherous men; Her priests profane what is holy, and do violence to the law.
5 Usred njega, Jahve je pravedan – on ne čini nepravde; svako jutro iznosi svoju pravicu, u praskozorje ne izostaje; ali bezbožnik srama ne poznaje.	5 The LORD within her is just, who does no wrong; Morning after morning he renders judgment unfailingly, at dawn.
6 »Uništio sam narode, razorena su kruništa kula njihovih, poharao sam njihove ulice: nema više prolaznika! Razoreni su njihovi gradovi: nema ljudi, nema stanovnika!	6 I have destroyed nations, their battlements are laid waste; I have made their streets deserted, with no one passing through; Their cities are devastated, with no man dwelling in them.
7 Govorio sam: ‘Ti ćeš se mene ipak bojati, prigrlit ćeš pouku; u njihovim očima ne mogu nestati toliki moji pohodi.’ Ali ne! – oni su žurno pokvarili sva djela svoja.	7 I said, "Surely now you will fear me, you will accept correction"; She should not fail to see all I have visited upon her. Yet all the more eagerly have they done all their corrupt deeds.
8 Zato mene čekajte« – riječ je Jahvina – »do dana kad ustanem kao tužilac; jer ja sam odredio da se sakupe narodi, da se saberu kraljevstva, da na vas gnjev svoj izlijem, svu gorčinu svoje srdžbe: u vatri moje ljubomore bit će sva zemlja sažgana.«	8 Therefore, wait for me, says the LORD, against the day when I arise as accuser; For it is my decision to gather together the nations, to assemble the kingdoms, In order to pour out upon them my wrath, all my blazing anger; For in the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be consumed.
9 »Dat ću narodima čiste usne, da svi mogu zazivati ime Jahvino i služiti mu jednodušno.	9 For then I will change and purify the lips of the peoples, That they all may call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one accord;
10 S druge obale rijeka etiopskih prinosit će mi žrtvene darove moji štovaoci.«	10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia and as far as the recesses of the North, they shall bring me offerings.
11 Skromni ostatak Izraelov »U onaj dan nećeš se sramiti svih svojih nedjela koja si protiv mene počinio, jer ću ukloniti iz tebe tvoje ohole hvalisavce; i nećeš se više šepiriti na svetoj gori mojoj,	11 On that day You need not be ashamed of all your deeds, your rebellious actions against me; For then will I remove from your midst the proud braggarts, And you shall no longer exalt yourself on my holy mountain.
12 jer ću pustiti da u tebi opstane samo skroman i čedan narod, i u imenu Jahvinu tražit će okrilje	12 But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, Who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD;
13 ostatak Izraelov. Oni neće više činiti nepravdu, neće više govoriti laži; u njihovim ustima neće se više naći jezik prijevarni. Moći će pâsti i odmarati se, i nitko im neće smetati.«	13 the remnant of Israel. They shall do no wrong and speak no lies; Nor shall there be found in their mouths a deceitful tongue; They shall pasture and couch their flocks with none to disturb them.
14 Klikći od radosti, Kćeri sionska, viči od veselja, Izraele! Veseli se i raduj se iz sveg srca, Kćeri jeruzalemska!	14 Shout for joy, O daughter Zion! sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem!
15 Jahve te riješio tvoje osude, neprijatelje tvoje uklonio! Jahve, kralj Izraelov, u sredini je tvojoj! Ne boj se više zla!	15 The LORD has removed the judgment against you, he has turned away your enemies; The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear.
16 U onaj dan reći će se Jeruzalemu: »Ne boj se, Sione! Neka ti ne klonu ruke!	16 On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not, O Zion, be not discouraged!
17 Jahve, Bog tvoj, u sredini je tvojoj, silni spasitelj! On će se radovati tebi pun veselja, obnovit će ti svoju ljubav, kliktat će nad tobom radosno	17 The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, He will sing joyfully because of you,
18 kao u dan svečani. Odvratio sam od tebe nevolju da na sebi više ne nosiš sramotu.	18 as one sings at festivals. I will remove disaster from among you, so that none may recount your disgrace.
19 Evo svladavam sve tvoje tlačitelje. U ono vrijeme izbavit ću sve hrome, sabrat ću prognane, pribavit’ im hvalu i diku po svoj zemlji gdje ih sramota bijaše dopala.	19 Yes, at that time I will deal with all who oppress you; I will save the lame, and assemble the outcasts; I will give them praise and renown in all the earth, when I bring about their restoration.
20 U ono vrijeme ja ću vas dovesti, u ono vrijeme ja ću vas sabrati! Tada ću vam dati hvalu i diku među narodima zemlje, kad okrenem vašu sudbinu pred vašim očima« – govori Jahve.	20 At that time I will bring you home, and at that time I will gather you; For I will give you renown and praise, among all the peoples of the earth, When I bring about your restoration before your very eyes, says the LORD.
