1:2 耶和华说，我必从地上除灭万类。
I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
1:3 我必除灭人和牲畜，与空中的鸟，海里的鱼，以及绊脚石和恶人。我必将人从地上剪除。这是耶和华说的。

1:4 我必伸手攻击犹大和耶路撒冷的一切居民。也必从这地方剪除所剩下的巴力，并基玛林的名和祭司，

1:5 与那些在房顶上敬拜天上万象的，并那些敬拜耶和华指着他起誓，又指着玛勒堪起誓的，
And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
1:6 与那些转去不跟从耶和华的，和不寻求耶和华，也不访问他的。
And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
1:7 你要在主耶和华面前静默无声，因为耶和华的日子快到。耶和华已经预备祭物，将他的客分别为圣。
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
1:8 到了我耶和华献祭的日子，必惩罚首领和王子，并一切穿外邦衣服的。

1:10 耶和华说，当那日，从鱼门必发出悲哀的声音，从二城发出哀号的声音，从山间发出大破裂的响声。
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
1:11 玛革提施的居民哪，你们要哀号，因为迦南的商民都灭亡了。凡搬运银子的都被剪除。
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
1:12 那时，我必用灯巡查耶路撒冷。我必惩罚那些如酒在渣滓上澄清的。他们心里说，耶和华必不降福，也不降祸。
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
1:13 他们的财宝，必成为掠物，他们的房屋，必变为荒场。他们必建造房屋，却不得住在其内，栽种葡萄园，却不得喝所出的酒。
Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
1:14 耶和华的大日临近，临近而且甚快，乃是耶和华日子的风声。勇士必痛痛的哭号。
The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
1:15 那日是忿怒的日子，是急难困苦的日子，是荒废凄凉的日子，是黑暗，幽冥，密云，乌黑的日子。
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
1:16 是吹角呐喊的日子，要攻击坚固城，和高大的城楼。
A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
1:17 我必使灾祸临到人身上，使他们行走如同瞎眼的，因为得罪了我。他们的血，必倒出如灰尘，他们的肉，必抛弃如粪土。
And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
1:18 当耶和华发怒的日子，他们的金银不能救他们。他的忿怒如火，必烧灭全地，毁灭这地的一切居民，而且大大的毁灭。
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
旧约 -- 西番雅书(Zephaniah) -- 第 2 章 ( 本篇共有 3 章 )
2:1 不知羞耻的国民哪，你们应当聚集。趁命令没有发出，日子过去如风前的糠，
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
2:2 *耶和华的烈怒未临到你们，他发怒的日子未到以先，你们应当聚集前来。
Before 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.
2:3 世上遵守耶和华典章的谦卑人哪，你们都当寻求耶和华。当寻求公义谦卑，或者在耶和华发怒的日子，可以隐藏起来。

2:4 迦萨必致见弃。亚实基伦必然荒凉。人在正午必赶出亚实突的民。以革伦也被拔出根来。
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
2:5 住沿海之地的基利提族有祸了。迦南，非利士人之地阿，耶和华的话与你反对，说，我必毁灭你，以致无人居住。
Woe 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.
2:6 沿海之地要变为草场，其上有牧人的住处，和羊群的圈。
And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
2:7 这地必为犹大家剩下的人所得。他们必在那里牧放群羊。晚上必躺卧在亚实基伦的房屋中。因为耶和华他们的神，必眷顾他们，使他们被掳的人归回。
And 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.

2:9 万军之耶和华以色列的神说，我指着我的永生起誓，摩押必像所多玛，亚扪人必像蛾摩拉，都变为刺草，盐坑，永远荒废之地。我百姓所剩下的，必掳掠他们，我国中所馀剩的，必得着他们的地。
Therefore 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.

This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
2:11 耶和华必向他们显可畏之威。因他必叫世上的诸神瘦弱，列国海岛的居民各在自己的地方敬拜他。

And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
2:14 群畜，就是各国（国或作类）的走兽必卧在其中。鹈鹕和箭猪要宿在柱顶上在窗户内有呜叫的声音。门槛都必毁坏。香柏木已经露出。
And 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.
2:15 这是素来欢乐安然居住的城，心里说，惟有我，除我以外再没有别的。现在何竟荒凉，成为野兽躺卧之处。凡经过的人都必摇手嗤笑她。
This 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.

3:1 这悖逆，污秽，欺压的城，有祸了。
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

3:7 我说，你只要敬畏我，领受训诲。如此，你的住处，不致照我所拟定的除灭。只是你们从早起来，就在一切事上败坏自己。

3:8 耶和华说，你们要等候我，直到我兴起掳掠的日子，因为我已定意招聚列国，聚集列邦，将我的恼怒，就是我的烈怒，都倾在她们身上。我的忿怒如火，必烧灭全地。

I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
3:19 那时，我必罚办一切苦待你的人，又拯救你瘸腿的。聚集你被赶出的。那些在全地受休辱的，我必使他们得称赞，有名声。
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
3:20 那时，我必领你们进来，聚集你们。我使你们被掳之人归回的时候，就必使你们在地上的万民中有名声，得称赞。这是耶和华说的。
