VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Verbum Domini quod factum est ad Sophoniam, filium Chusi, filii Godoliæ, filii Amariæ, filii Ezeciæ, in diebus Josiæ, filii Amon, regis Judæ.	1 The word of the LORD 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 Congregans congregabo omnia a facie terræ, dicit Dominus :	2 I will completely sweep away all things from the face of the earth, says the LORD.
3 congregans hominem et pecus, congregans volatilia cæli et pisces maris : et ruinæ impiorum erunt, et disperdam homines a facie terræ, dicit Dominus.	3 I will sweep away man and beast, I will sweep away the birds of the sky, and the fishes of the sea. I will overthrow the wicked; I will destroy mankind from the face of the earth, says the LORD.
4 Et extendam manum meam super Judam et super omnes habitantes Jerusalem : et disperdam de loco hoc reliquias Baal, et nomina ædituorum cum sacerdotibus ;	4 I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; I will destroy from this place the last vestige of Baal, the very names of his priests.
5 et eos qui adorant super tecta militiam cæli, et adorant et jurant in Domino, et jurant in Melchom ;	5 And those who adore the host of heaven on the roofs, with those who adore the LORD but swear by Milcom;
6 et qui avertuntur de post tergum Domini, et qui non quæsierunt Dominum, nec investigaverunt eum.	6 And those who have fallen away from the LORD, and those who do not seek the LORD.
7 Silete a facie Domini Dei, quia juxta est dies Domini : quia præparavit Dominus hostiam ; sanctificavit vocatos suos.	7 Silence in the presence of the Lord GOD! for near is the day of the LORD, Yes, the LORD has prepared a slaughter feast, he has consecrated his guests.
8 Et erit : in die hostiæ Domini, visitabo super principes, et super filios regis, et super omnes qui induti sunt veste peregrina ;	8 On the day of the LORD'S slaughter feast I will punish the princes, and the king's sons, and all that dress in foreign apparel.
9 et visitabo super omnem qui arroganter ingreditur super limen in die illa, qui complent domum Domini Dei sui iniquitate et dolo.	9 I will punish, on that day, all who leap over the threshold, Who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
10 Et erit in die illa, dicit Dominus, vox clamoris a porta piscium, et ululatus a Secunda, et contritio magna a collibus.	10 On that day, says the LORD, A cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the New Quarter, loud crashing from the hills.
11 Ululate, habitatores Pilæ : conticuit omnis populus Chanaan, disperierunt omnes involuti argento.	11 Wail, O inhabitants of the Mortar! for all the merchants will be destroyed, all who weigh out silver, done away with.
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.	12 At that time I will explore Jerusalem with lamps; I will punish the men who thicken on their lees, Who say in their hearts, "Neither good nor evil can the LORD do."
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.	13 Their wealth shall be given to pillage and their houses to devastation; They will build houses, but shall not dwell in them, plant vineyards, but not drink their wine,
14 Juxta est dies Domini magnus : juxta est, et velox nimis. Vox diei Domini amara : tribulabitur ibi fortis.	14 Near is the great day of the LORD, near and very swiftly coming, Hark, the day of the LORD! bitter, then, the warrior's cry.
15 Dies iræ dies illa, dies tribulationis et angustiæ, dies calamitatis et miseriæ, dies tenebrarum et caliginis, dies nebulæ et turbinis,	15 A day of wrath is that day a day of anguish and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, A day of thick black clouds,
16 dies tubæ et clangoris super civitates munitas, et super angulos excelsos.	16 a day of trumpet blasts and battle alarm Against fortified cities, against battlements on high.
17 Et tribulabo homines, et ambulabunt ut cæci, quia Domino peccaverunt ; et effundetur sanguis eorum sicut humus, et corpora eorum sicut stercora.	17 I will hem men in till they walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD; And their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their brains like dung.
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.	18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to save them on the day of the LORD'S wrath, When in the fire of his jealousy all the earth shall be consumed. For he shall make an end, yes, a sudden end, of all who live on the earth.
