西番雅书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
严责耶路撒冷之人诸罪
3 这悖逆、污秽、欺压的城有祸了！ 2 她不听从命令，不领受训诲，不倚靠耶和华，不亲近她的神。 3 她中间的首领是咆哮的狮子，她的审判官是晚上的豺狼，一点食物也不留到早晨。 4 她的先知是虚浮诡诈的人，她的祭司亵渎圣所，强解律法。 5 耶和华在她中间是公义的，断不做非义的事，每早晨显明他的公义，无日不然，只是不义的人不知羞耻。 6 “我耶和华已经除灭列国的民，他们的城楼毁坏。我使他们的街道荒凉，以致无人经过。他们的城邑毁灭，以致无人，也无居民。 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。”
劝俟以色列复兴
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，都倾在他们身上。我的愤怒如火，必烧灭全地。
9 “那时，我必使万民用清洁的言语，好求告我耶和华的名，同心合意地侍奉我。 10 祈祷我的，就是我所分散的民[a]，必从古实河外来，给我献供物。 11 当那日，你必不因你一切得罪我的事自觉羞愧。因为那时我必从你中间除掉矜夸高傲之辈，你也不再于我的圣山狂傲。 12 我却要在你中间留下困苦贫寒的民，他们必投靠我耶和华的名。 13 以色列所剩下的人必不做罪孽，不说谎言，口中也没有诡诈的舌头，而且吃喝躺卧，无人惊吓。”
宜歌颂主恩
14 锡安的民哪，应当歌唱！以色列啊，应当欢呼！耶路撒冷的民哪，应当满心欢喜快乐！ 15 耶和华已经除去你的刑罚，赶出你的仇敌。以色列的王耶和华在你中间，你必不再惧怕灾祸。 16 当那日，必有话向耶路撒冷说：“不要惧怕！锡安哪，不要手软！ 17 耶和华你的神是施行拯救、大有能力的主，他在你中间必因你欢欣喜乐，默然爱你，且因你喜乐而欢呼。 18 那些属你，为无大会愁烦，因你担当羞辱的，我必聚集他们。 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。那些在全地受羞辱的，我必使他们得称赞，有名声。 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。

西番雅书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶路撒冷的败坏
3 这叛逆、污秽、充满压迫的城有祸了！
2 她不听命令，不受管教；
不倚靠耶和华，
不亲近她的上帝。
3 她的首领是咆哮的狮子，
她的审判官是夜间的豺狼，
不留一点猎物到天明。
4 她的先知是狂妄诡诈之徒，
她的祭司亵渎圣殿，违背律法。
5 但城中的耶和华是公义的，
祂绝不做不义之事。
祂每天早晨伸张正义，从不间断。
然而，不义之人却不知羞耻。
6 “我已消灭列国，
摧毁他们的城楼，
使他们的街道荒废，没有路人；
他们的城邑沦为废墟，杳无人迹，没有居民。
7 我以为这城一定会敬畏我，接受管教，
这样我就不必照所定的毁灭她。
然而，他们却更加热衷于犯罪作恶。
8 “因此，等着我吧，
等着我指控的那一天吧。
我已决定召集列国列邦，
向他们倾倒我的烈怒，
我的怒火必吞噬天下。
这是耶和华说的。
耶和华的拯救
9 “那时，我必洁净万民的口，
以便他们可以求告我的名，
同心合意地事奉我。
10 那些敬拜我的，
就是我那些分散的子民必从古实河对岸带着供物来献给我。
11 到那天，你必不再因背叛我而感到羞愧，
因为那时我必除掉你那里狂妄自大的人，
你在我的圣山上必不再高傲。
12 我必把谦卑贫苦的人留在你那里，
他们必投靠在我耶和华的名下。
13 以色列的余民必不再作恶，
撒谎或出诡诈之言。
他们吃喝躺卧，无人惊扰。”
欢乐之歌
14 锡安城[a]啊，歌唱吧！
以色列啊，欢呼吧！
耶路撒冷城啊，尽情地欢喜快乐吧！
15 耶和华已经撤销对你的刑罚，
赶走你的仇敌，
以色列的王耶和华与你同在，
你必不再惧怕灾祸。
16 到那天，耶路撒冷必听到这样的话：
“锡安啊，不要害怕！不要双手发软！
17 你的上帝耶和华与你同在，
祂是大能的拯救者，
祂必因你而欢喜快乐，欢然歌唱，
用祂的爱安慰你。”
18 “我必招聚你那里因不能守节期而忧愁的人，
使你不再蒙受羞辱。
19 看啊，那时我必惩罚所有欺压你的人，
拯救瘸腿的，召回分散的，
使他们的羞辱化为尊荣，声名远播。
20 那时，我必招聚你们，带你们回到故土。
你们回到故土后，
我必使你们在天下万民中声名远播，得到尊荣。”
这是耶和华说的。

Zephaniah 3
King James Version
3 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 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.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
