ZEPHANIAH 3

صفنيا 3

1  Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, To the oppressing city!

1  وَيْلٌ لِلْمُتَمَرِّدَةِ الْمُنَجَّسَةِ, الْمَدِينَةِ الْجَائِرَةِ.

2  She has not obeyed His voice, She has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.

2  لَمْ تَسْمَعِ الصَّوْتَ. لَمْ تَقْبَلِ التَّأْدِيبَ. لَمْ تَتَّكِلْ عَلَى الرَّبِّ. لَمْ تَتَقَرَّبْ إِلَى إِلَهِهَا.

3  Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are evening wolves That leave not a bone till morning.

3  رُؤَسَاؤُهَا فِي وَسَطِهَا أُسُودٌ زَائِرَةٌ. قُضَاتُهَا ذِئَابُ مَسَاءٍ لاَ يُبْقُونَ شَيْئاً إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ.

4  Her prophets are insolent, treacherous people; Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have done violence to the law.

4  أَنْبِيَاؤُهَا مُتَفَاخِرُونَ, أَهْلُ غُدْرَاتٍ. كَهَنَتُهَا نَجَّسُوا الْقُدْسَ. خَالَفُوا الشَّرِيعَةَ.

5  The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, But the unjust knows no shame.

5  اَلرَّبُّ عَادِلٌ فِي وَسَطِهَا لاَ يَفْعَلُ ظُلْماً. غَدَاةً غَدَاةً يُبْرِزُ حُكْمَهُ إِلَى النُّورِ. لاَ يَتَعَذَّرُ. أَمَّا الظَّالِمُ فَلاَ يَعْرِفُ الْخِزْيَ.

6  "I have cut off nations, Their fortresses are devastated; I have made their streets desolate, With none passing by. Their cities are destroyed; There is no one, no inhabitant.

6  [قَطَعْتُ أُمَماً. خَرَّبْتُ شُرُفَاتِهِمْ. أَقْفَرْتُ أَسْوَاقَهُمْ بِلاَ عَابِرٍ. دُمِّرَتْ مُدُنُهُمْ بِلاَ إِنْسَانٍ, بِغَيْرِ سَاكِنٍ.

7  I said, 'Surely you will fear Me, You will receive instruction'-- So that her dwelling would not be cut off, Despite everything for which I punished her. But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.

7  فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّكِ لِتَخْشَيْنَنِي. تَقْبَلِينَ التَّأْدِيبَ. فَلاَ يَنْقَطِعُ مَسْكَنُهَا حَسَبَ كُلِّ مَا عَيَّنْتُهُ عَلَيْهَا. لَكِنْ بَكَّرُوا وَأَفْسَدُوا جَمِيعَ أَعْمَالِهَا.

8  "Therefore wait for Me," says the Lord, "Until the day I rise up for plunder; My determination is to gather the nations To My assembly of kingdoms, To pour on them My indignation, All my fierce anger; All the earth shall be devoured With the fire of My jealousy.

8  [لِذَلِكَ فَانْتَظِرُونِي يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ. إِلَى يَوْمِي أَقُومُ إِلَى السَّلْبِ, لأَنَّ حُكْمِي هُوَ بِجَمْعِ الأُمَمِ وَحَشْرِ الْمَمَالِكِ, لأَصُبَّ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي, كُلَّ حُمُوِّ غَضَبِي. لأَنَّهُ بِنَارِ غَيْرَتِي تُؤْكَلُ كُلُّ الأَرْضِ.

9  "For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, That they all may call on the name of the Lord, To serve Him with one accord.

9  لأَنِّي حِينَئِذٍ أُحَوِّلُ الشُّعُوبَ إِلَى شَفَةٍ نَقِيَّةٍ, لِيَدْعُوا كُلُّهُمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ, لِيَعْبُدُوهُ بِكَتِفٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

10  From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, The daughter of My dispersed ones, Shall bring My offering.

10  مِنْ عَبْرِ أَنْهَارِ كُوشٍ الْمُتَضَرِّعُونَ إِلَيَّ, مُتَبَدِّدِيَّ, يُقَدِّمُونَ تَقْدِمَتِي.

11  In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds In which you transgress against Me; For then I will take away from your midst Those who rejoice in your pride, And you shall no longer be haughty In My holy mountain.

11  فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لاَ تَخْزِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَعْمَالِكِ الَّتِي تَعَدَّيْتِ بِهَا عَلَيَّ. لأَنِّي حِينَئِذٍ أَنْزِعُ مِنْ وَسَطِكِ مُبْتَهِجِي كِبْرِيَائِكِ, وَلَنْ تَعُودِي بَعْدُ إِلَى التَّكَبُّرِ فِي جَبَلِ قُدْسِي.

12  I will leave in your midst A meek and humble people, And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.

12  وَأُبْقِي فِي وَسَطِكِ شَعْباً بَائِساً وَمِسْكِيناً, فَيَتَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اسْمِ الرَّبِّ.

13  The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness And speak no lies, Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; For they shall feed their flocks and lie down, And no one shall make them afraid."

13  بَقِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ لاَ يَفْعَلُونَ إِثْماً وَلاَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ وَلاَ يُوجَدُ فِي أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لِسَانُ غِشٍّ, لأَنَّهُمْ يَرْعُونَ وَيَرْبُضُونَ وَلاَ مُخِيفَ].

14  Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!

14  تَرَنَّمِي يَا ابْنَةَ صِهْيَوْنَ. اهْتِفْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. افْرَحِي وَابْتَهِجِي بِكُلِّ قَلْبِكِ يَا ابْنَةَ أُورُشَلِيمَ.

15  The Lord has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.

15  قَدْ نَزَعَ الرَّبُّ الأَقْضِيَةَ عَلَيْكِ. أَزَالَ عَدُوَّكِ. مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ الرَّبُّ فِي وَسَطِكِ. لاَ تَنْظُرِينَ بَعْدُ شَرّاً.

16  In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.

16  فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُقَالُ لِأُورُشَلِيمَ: [لاَ تَخَافِي يَا صِهْيَوْنُ. لاَ تَرْتَخِ يَدَاكِ.

17  The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."

17  الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكِ فِي وَسَطِكِ جَبَّارٌ يُخَلِّصُ. يَبْتَهِجُ بِكِ فَرَحاً. يَسْكُتُ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ. يَبْتَهِجُ بِكِ بِتَرَنُّمٍ].

18  "I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.

18  [أَجْمَعُ الْمَحْزُونِينَ عَلَى الْمَوْسِمِ. كَانُوا مِنْكِ. حَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا الْعَارَ.

19  Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame.

19  هَئَنَذَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أُعَامِلُ كُلَّ مُذَلِّلِيكِ, وَأُخَلِّصُ الظَّالِعَةَ, وَأَجْمَعُ الْمَنْفِيَّةَ, وَأَجْعَلُهُمْ تَسْبِيحَةً وَاسْماً فِي كُلِّ أَرْضِ خِزْيِهِمْ,

20  At that time I will bring you back, Even at the time I gather you; For I will give you fame and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I return your captives before your eyes," Says the Lord.

20  فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي فِيهِ آتِي بِكُمْ وَفِي وَقْتِ جَمْعِي إِيَّاكُمْ. لأَنِّي أُصَيِّرُكُمُ اسْماً وَتَسْبِيحَةً فِي شُعُوبِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا, حِينَ أَرُدُّ مَسْبِيِّيكُمْ قُدَّامَ أَعْيُنِكُمْ]. قَالَ الرَّبُّ.
