Zephaniah 2

KJV

1  Gather yourselves together,⁷¹⁹⁷ yea, gather together,⁷¹⁹⁷ O nation¹⁴⁷¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ desired;³⁷⁰⁰

2  Before²⁹⁶² the decree²⁷⁰⁶ bring forth,³²⁰⁵ before the day³¹¹⁷ pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ as the chaff,⁴⁶⁷¹ before²⁹⁶² the fierce²⁷⁴⁰ anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you, before²⁹⁶² the day³¹¹⁷ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ anger⁶³⁹ come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ you.

3  Seek¹²⁴⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ ye meek⁶⁰³⁵ of the earth,⁷⁷⁶ which⁸³⁴ have wrought⁶⁴⁶⁶ his judgment;⁴⁹⁴¹ seek¹²⁴⁵ righteousness,⁶⁶⁶⁴ seek¹²⁴⁵ meekness:⁶⁰³⁸ it may be¹⁹⁴ ye shall be hid⁵⁶⁴¹ in the day³¹¹⁷ of the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ anger.⁶³⁹

4  For³⁵⁸⁸ Gaza⁵⁸⁰⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ forsaken,⁵⁸⁰⁰ and Ashkelon⁸³¹ a desolation:⁸⁰⁷⁷ they shall drive out¹⁶⁴⁴ Ashdod⁷⁹⁵ at the noon day,⁶⁶⁷² and Ekron⁶¹³⁸ shall be rooted up.⁶¹³¹

5  Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the sea³²²⁰ coast,²²⁵⁶ the nation¹⁴⁷¹ of the Cherethites!³⁷⁷⁴ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is against⁵⁹²¹ you; O Canaan,³⁶⁶⁷ the land⁷⁷⁶ of the Philistines,⁶⁴³⁰ I will even destroy⁶ thee, that there shall be no^{4480 369} inhabitant.³⁴²⁷

6  And the sea³²²⁰ coast²²⁵⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ dwellings⁵¹¹⁶ and cottages³⁷⁴¹ for shepherds,⁷⁴⁶² and folds¹⁴⁴⁸ for flocks.⁶⁶²⁹

7  And the coast²²⁵⁶ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ for the remnant⁷⁶¹¹ of the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ they shall feed⁷⁴⁶² thereupon:⁵⁹²¹ in the houses¹⁰⁰⁴ of Ashkelon⁸³¹ shall they lie down⁷²⁵⁷ in the evening:⁶¹⁵³ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ their God⁴³⁰ shall visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ them, and turn away⁷⁷²⁵ their captivity.⁷⁶²²

8  I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the reproach²⁷⁸¹ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the revilings¹⁴²¹ of the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ whereby⁸³⁴ they have reproached^{2778 853} my people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and magnified¹⁴³¹ themselves against⁵⁹²¹ their border.¹³⁶⁶

9  Therefore³⁶⁵¹ as I⁵⁸⁹ live,²⁴¹⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ Surely³⁵⁸⁸ Moab⁴¹²⁴ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ as Sodom,⁵⁴⁶⁷ and the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon⁵⁹⁸³ as Gomorrah,⁶⁰¹⁷ even the breeding⁴⁴⁷⁶ of nettles,²⁷³⁸ and saltpits,^{4417 4379} and a perpetual^{5704 5769} desolation:⁸⁰⁷⁷ the residue⁷⁶¹¹ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ shall spoil⁹⁶² them, and the remnant³⁴⁹⁹ of my people¹⁴⁷¹ shall possess⁵¹⁵⁷ them.

10  This²⁰⁶³ shall they have for⁸⁴⁷⁸ their pride,¹³⁴⁷ because³⁵⁸⁸ they have reproached²⁷⁷⁸ and magnified¹⁴³¹ themselves against⁵⁹²¹ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

11  The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will be terrible³³⁷² unto⁵⁹²¹ them: for³⁵⁸⁸ he will famish^{7329 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the gods⁴³⁰ of the earth;⁷⁷⁶ and men shall worship⁷⁸¹² him, every one³⁷⁶ from his place,^{4480 4725} even all³⁶⁰⁵ the isles³³⁹ of the heathen.¹⁴⁷¹

12  Ye⁸⁵⁹ Ethiopians³⁵⁶⁹ also,¹⁵⁷¹ ye¹⁹⁹² shall be slain²⁴⁹¹ by my sword.²⁷¹⁹

13  And he will stretch out⁵¹⁸⁶ his hand³⁰²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ the north,⁶⁸²⁸ and destroy^{6 853} Assyria;⁸⁰⁴ and will make^{7760 853} Nineveh⁵²¹⁰ a desolation,⁸⁰⁷⁷ and dry⁶⁷²³ like a wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

14  And flocks⁵⁷³⁹ shall lie down⁷²⁵⁷ in the midst⁸⁴³² of her, all³⁶⁰⁵ the beasts²⁴¹⁶ of the nations:¹⁴⁷¹ both¹⁵⁷¹ the cormorant⁶⁸⁹³ and¹⁵⁷¹ the bittern⁷⁰⁹⁰ shall lodge³⁸⁸⁵ in the upper lintels³⁷³⁰ of it; their voice⁶⁹⁶³ shall sing⁷⁸⁹¹ in the windows;²⁴⁷⁴ desolation²⁷²¹ shall be in the thresholds:⁵⁵⁹² for³⁵⁸⁸ he shall uncover⁶¹⁶⁸ the cedar work.⁷³¹

15  This²⁰⁶³ is the rejoicing⁵⁹⁴⁷ city⁵⁸⁹² that dwelt³⁴²⁷ carelessly,⁹⁸³ that said⁵⁵⁹ in her heart,³⁸²⁴ I⁵⁸⁹ am, and there is none⁶⁵⁷ beside⁵⁷⁵⁰ me: how³⁴⁹ is she become¹⁹⁶¹ a desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ a place for beasts²⁴¹⁶ to lie down⁴⁷⁶⁹ in! every one³⁶⁰⁵ that passeth⁵⁶⁷⁴ by⁵⁹²¹ her shall hiss,⁸³¹⁹ and wag⁵¹²⁸ his hand.³⁰²⁷

1 συνάχθητε καὶ συνδέθητε τὸ ἔθνος τὸ ἀπαίδευτον

2 πρὸ τοῦ γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ὡς ἄνθος παραπορευόμενον πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ὀργὴν κυρίου πρὸ τοῦ ἐπελθεῖν ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἡμέραν θυμοῦ κυρίου

3 ζητήσατε τὸν κύριον πάντες ταπεινοὶ γῆς κρίμα ἐργάζεσθε καὶ δικαιοσύνην ζητήσατε καὶ ἀποκρίνεσθε αὐτά ὅπως σκεπασθῆτε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς κυρίου

4 διότι Γάζα διηρπασμένη ἔσται καὶ Ἀσκαλὼν ἔσται εἰς ἀφανισμόν καὶ Ἄζωτος μεσημβρίας ἐκριφήσεται καὶ Ακκαρων ἐκριζωθήσεται

5 οὐαὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης πάροικοι Κρητῶν λόγος κυρίου ἐφ᾽ ὑμᾶς Χανααν γῆ ἀλλοφύλων καὶ ἀπολῶ ὑμᾶς ἐκ κατοικίας

6 καὶ ἔσται Κρήτη νομὴ ποιμνίων καὶ μάνδρα προβάτων

7 καὶ ἔσται τὸ σχοίνισμα τῆς θαλάσσης τοῖς καταλοίποις οἴκου Ιουδα ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς νεμήσονται ἐν τοῖς οἴκοις Ἀσκαλῶνος δείλης καταλύσουσιν ἀπὸ προσώπου υἱῶν Ιουδα ὅτι ἐπέσκεπται αὐτοὺς κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπέστρεψε τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν αὐτῶν

8 ἤκουσα ὀνειδισμοὺς Μωαβ καὶ κονδυλισμοὺς υἱῶν Αμμων ἐν οἷς ὠνείδιζον τὸν λαόν μου καὶ ἐμεγαλύνοντο ἐπὶ τὰ ὅριά μου

9 διὰ τοῦτο ζῶ ἐγώ λέγει κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ διότι Μωαβ ὡς Σοδομα ἔσται καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Αμμων ὡς Γομορρα καὶ Δαμασκὸς ἐκλελειμμένη ὡς θιμωνιὰ ἅλωνος καὶ ἠφανισμένη εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι λαοῦ μου διαρπῶνται αὐτούς καὶ οἱ κατάλοιποι ἔθνους μου κληρονομήσουσιν αὐτούς

10 αὕτη αὐτοῖς ἀντὶ τῆς ὕβρεως αὐτῶν διότι ὠνείδισαν καὶ ἐμεγαλύνθησαν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον τὸν παντοκράτορα

11 ἐπιφανήσεται κύριος ἐπ᾽ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσει πάντας τοὺς θεοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς καὶ προσκυνήσουσιν αὐτῷ ἕκαστος ἐκ τοῦ τόπου αὐτοῦ πᾶσαι αἱ νῆσοι τῶν ἐθνῶν

12 καὶ ὑμεῖς Αἰθίοπες τραυματίαι ῥομφαίας μού ἐστε

13 καὶ ἐκτενεῖ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ ἀπολεῖ τὸν Ἀσσύριον καὶ θήσει τὴν Νινευη εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἄνυδρον ὡς ἔρημον

14 καὶ νεμήσονται ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ποίμνια καὶ πάντα τὰ θηρία τῆς γῆς καὶ χαμαιλέοντες καὶ ἐχῖνοι ἐν τοῖς φατνώμασιν αὐτῆς κοιτασθήσονται καὶ θηρία φωνήσει ἐν τοῖς διορύγμασιν αὐτῆς κόρακες ἐν τοῖς πυλῶσιν αὐτῆς διότι κέδρος τὸ ἀνάστημα αὐτῆς

15 αὕτη ἡ πόλις ἡ φαυλίστρια ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι ἡ λέγουσα ἐν καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν μετ᾽ ἐμὲ ἔτι πῶς ἐγενήθη εἰς ἀφανισμόν νομὴ θηρίων πᾶς ὁ διαπορευόμενος δι᾽ αὐτῆς συριεῖ καὶ κινήσει τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ

1 [Convenite, congregamini, gens non amabilis,

2 priusquam pariat jussio quasi pulverem transeuntem diem,
antequam veniat super vos ira furoris Domini,
antequam veniat super vos dies indignationis Domini.

3 Quærite Dominum, omnes mansueti terræ,
qui judicium ejus estis operati;
quærite justum, quærite mansuetum,
si quomodo abscondamini in die furoris Domini.

4 Quia Gaza destructa erit,
et Ascalon in desertum:
Azotum in meridie ejicient,
et Accaron eradicabitur.

5 Væ qui habitatis funiculum maris, gens perditorum!
verbum Domini super vos, Chanaan, terra Philisthinorum;
et disperdam te, ita ut non sit inhabitator.

6 Et erit funiculus maris requies pastorum, et caulæ pecorum;

7 et erit funiculus ejus qui remanserit de domo Juda: ibi pascentur,
in domibus Ascalonis ad vesperam requiescent,
quia visitabit eos Dominus Deus eorum,
et avertet captivitatem eorum.

8 Audivi opprobrium Moab,
et blasphemias filiorum Ammon,
quæ exprobraverunt populo meo,
et magnificati sunt super terminos eorum.

9 Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël,
quia Moab ut Sodoma erit,
et filii Ammon quasi Gomorrha:
siccitas spinarum, et acervi salis,
et desertum usque in æternum:
reliquiæ populi mei diripient eos,
et residui gentis meæ possidebunt illos.

10 Hoc eis eveniet pro superbia sua,
quia blasphemaverunt et magnificati sunt
super populum Domini exercituum.

11 Horribilis Dominus super eos,
et attenuabit omnes deos terræ:
et adorabunt eum viri de loco suo,
omnes insulæ gentium.

12 Sed et vos, Æthiopes, interfecti gladio meo eritis.

13 Et extendet manum suam super aquilonem, et perdet Assur,
et ponet speciosam in solitudinem,
et in invium, et quasi desertum.

14 Et accubabunt in medio ejus greges, omnes bestiæ gentium;
et onocrotalus et ericius in liminibus ejus morabuntur:
vox cantantis in fenestra,
corvus in superliminari,
quoniam attenuabo robur ejus.

15 Hæc est civitas gloriosa habitans in confidentia,
quæ dicebat in corde suo:
Ego sum, et extra me non est alia amplius:
quomodo facta est in desertum cubile bestiæ?
omnis qui transit per eam sibilabit,
et movebit manum suam.]
