Zephaniah - Chapter: 2

>
2:1Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2:2Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
2:3Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
2:4For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
2:5Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
2:6And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
2:7And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
2:8I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
2:9Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
2:10This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
2:11The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
2:12Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
2:13And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
2:14And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
2:15This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

 
2:1התקושׁשׁו וקושׁו הגוי לא נכסף׃
2:2בטרם לדת חק כמץ עבר יום בטרם לא יבוא עליכם חרון אף יהוה בטרם לא יבוא עליכם יום אף יהוה׃
2:3בקשׁו את יהוה כל ענוי הארץ אשׁר משׁפטו פעלו בקשׁו צדק בקשׁו ענוה אולי תסתרו ביום אף יהוה׃
2:4כי עזה עזובה תהיה ואשׁקלון לשׁממה אשׁדוד בצהרים יגרשׁוה ועקרון תעקר׃
2:5הוי ישׁבי חבל הים גוי כרתים דבר יהוה עליכם כנען ארץ פלשׁתים והאבדתיך מאין יושׁב׃
2:6והיתה חבל הים נות כרת רעים וגדרות צאן׃
2:7והיה חבל לשׁארית בית יהודה עליהם ירעון בבתי אשׁקלון בערב ירבצון כי יפקדם יהוה אלהיהם ושׁב שׁבותם׃
2:8שׁמעתי חרפת מואב וגדופי בני עמון אשׁר חרפו את עמי ויגדילו על גבולם׃
2:9לכן חי אני נאם יהוה צבאות אלהי ישׂראל כי מואב כסדם תהיה ובני עמון כעמרה ממשׁק חרול ומכרה מלח ושׁממה עד עולם שׁארית עמי יבזום ויתר גוי ינחלום׃
2:10זאת להם תחת גאונם כי חרפו ויגדלו על עם יהוה צבאות׃
2:11נורא יהוה עליהם כי רזה את כל אלהי הארץ וישׁתחוו לו אישׁ ממקומו כל איי הגוים׃
2:12גם אתם כושׁים חללי חרבי המה׃
2:13ויט ידו על צפון ויאבד את אשׁור וישׂם את נינוה לשׁממה ציה כמדבר׃
2:14ורבצו בתוכה עדרים כל חיתו גוי גם קאת גם קפד בכפתריה ילינו קול ישׁורר בחלון חרב בסף כי ארזה ערה׃
2:15זאת העיר העליזה היושׁבת לבטח האמרה בלבבה אני ואפסי עוד איך היתה לשׁמה מרבץ לחיה כל עובר עליה ישׁרק יניע ידו׃

 
2:1Bend yourselves, yea, bend ye, O nation not desired,
2:2Before the bringing forth of a statute, As chaff hath the day passed on, While yet not come in upon you doth the heat of the anger of Jehovah, While yet not come in upon you doth a day of the anger of Jehovah,
2:3Seek Jehovah, all ye humble of the land, Who His judgment have done, Seek ye righteousness, seek humility, It may be ye are hidden in a day of the anger of Jehovah.
2:4For Gaza is forsaken, And Ashkelon `is' for a desolation, Ashdod! at noon they do cast her forth, And Ekron is rooted up.
2:5Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of Jehovah `is' against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an inhabitant.
2:6And the sea-coast hath been habitations, Cottages `for' shepherds, and folds `for' a flock.
2:7And the coast hath been for the remnant of the house of Judah, By them they have pleasure, In houses of Ashkelon at even they lie down, For inspect them doth Jehovah their God, And He hath turned back `to' their captivity.
2:8I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the revilings of the sons of Ammon, Wherewith they reproached My people, And magnify `themselves' against their border.
2:9Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation -- unto the age. A residue of My people do seize them, And a remnant of My nation inherit them.
2:10This `is' to them for their arrogancy, Because they have reproached, And they magnify `themselves' against the people of Jehovah of Hosts.
2:11Fearful `is' Jehovah against them, For He made bare all gods of the land, And bow themselves to Him, each from his place, Do all islanders of the nations.
2:12Also ye, O Cushim, pierced of My sword `are' they.
2:13And He stretcheth His hand against the north, And doth destroy Asshur, And he setteth Nineveh for a desolation, A dry land like a wilderness.
2:14And crouched in her midst have droves, Every beast of the nation, Both pelican and hedge-hog in her knobs lodge, A voice doth sing at the window, `Destruction `is' at the threshold, For the cedar-work is exposed.'
2:15This `is' the exulting city that is dwelling confidently, That is saying in her heart, `I `am', and beside me there is none,' How hath she been for a desolation, A crouching-place for beasts, Every one passing by her doth hiss, He doth shake his hand!
