Sefanja 1
nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
1 Herrens ord kom till Sefanja, son till Kushi, son till Gedalja, son till Amarja, son till Hiskia, under Juda kung Josias, Amons sons, regeringstid.
Vredens dag
2 ”Jag ska fullständigt utplåna allt
från jordens yta, säger Herren.
3 Jag ska utplåna både människor och djur,
jag ska utplåna himlens fåglar och havets fiskar,
och ruinhögarna tillsammans med de gudlösa.
Jag ska utrota människorna från jordens yta, säger Herren.
4 Jag ska sträcka ut min hand mot Juda
och mot alla som bor i Jerusalem.
Jag ska utrota från denna plats
det som finns kvar av Baal,
avgudaprästernas namn
tillsammans med prästerna,
5 dem som på taken böjer sig
i tillbedjan för himlens här,
dem som böjer sig ner för Herren
men också svär vid Milkom[a],
6 dessa som vänt sig bort från Herren
och inte söker eller frågar efter Herren.”
7 Var stilla inför Herren, Herren,
för Herrens dag är nära!
Herren har förberett en offerhögtid
och helgat sina inbjudna.
8 ”På Herrens offerdag
ska jag straffa furstarna och prinsarna
och alla som bär främmande kläder.
9 På den dagen ska jag straffa dem
som hoppar över tröskeln
och fyller sina herrars hus
med våld och svek.[b]
10 Den dagen, säger Herren,
ska rop höras från Fiskporten,
klagan från Nya staden,
väldigt dån från höjderna.
11 Jämra er, ni som bor i Mortelkvarteret,
för skaran av köpmän är borta,
och utplånade är de
som handlar med silver.
12 Vid den tiden ska jag med ljus och lykta
söka igenom Jerusalem
och straffa de män som sitter där
liknöjda på sin drägg,
och tänker:
’Herren gör ingenting, vare sig gott eller ont.’
13 Men deras rikedom ska plundras
och deras hus läggas öde.
De ska bygga hus,
men inte få bo i dem,
plantera vingårdar,
men inte få dricka vinet från dem.”
14 Herrens stora dag är nära,
ja, den är nära och kommer mycket snabbt.
Det kommer att höras rop på Herrens dag,
starka män ska då gråta bittert.[c]
15 Den dagen är en vredens dag,
en dag av nöd och ångest,
en dag av förödelse och ödeläggelse,
en dag av mörker och dimma,
en dag av moln och dunkel,
16 en dag med hornstötar och krigsrop
mot befästa städer och höga torn.
17 ”Jag ska låta människorna drabbas av ångest,
så att de går omkring som blinda,
för de har syndat mot Herren.
Deras blod ska hällas ut som stoft
och deras inälvor som dynga.
18 Varken deras silver eller guld
kan rädda dem på Herrens vredes dag.”
Hans lidelses eld
ska förtära hela jorden.
Han ska göra ett snabbt slut
på alla dess invånare.
Zephaniah 1
King James Version
Zephaniah 1
King James Version
1 The word of the Lord which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
5 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;
6 And them that are turned back from the Lord; and those that have not sought the Lord, nor enquired for him.
7 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.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
10 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.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 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,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
17 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.
18 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.

Zephaniah 1
New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, during the reign of Josiah(A) son of Amon(B) king of Judah:
Judgment on the Whole Earth in the Day of the Lord
2 “I will sweep away everything
from the face of the earth,”(C)
declares the Lord.
3 “I will sweep away both man and beast;(D)
I will sweep away the birds in the sky(E)
and the fish in the sea—
and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble.”[a]
“When I destroy all mankind
on the face of the earth,”(F)
declares the Lord,(G)
4 “I will stretch out my hand(H) against Judah
and against all who live in Jerusalem.
I will destroy every remnant of Baal worship in this place,(I)
the very names of the idolatrous priests(J)—
5 those who bow down on the roofs
to worship the starry host,(K)
those who bow down and swear by the Lord
and who also swear by Molek,[b](L)
6 those who turn back from following(M) the Lord
and neither seek(N) the Lord nor inquire(O) of him.”
7 Be silent(P) before the Sovereign Lord,
for the day of the Lord(Q) is near.
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;(R)
he has consecrated those he has invited.
8 “On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish(S) the officials
and the king’s sons(T)
and all those clad
in foreign clothes.
9 On that day I will punish
all who avoid stepping on the threshold,[c](U)
who fill the temple of their gods
with violence and deceit.(V)
10 “On that day,(W)”
declares the Lord,
“a cry will go up from the Fish Gate,(X)
wailing(Y) from the New Quarter,
and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Wail,(Z) you who live in the market district[d];
all your merchants will be wiped out,
all who trade with[e] silver will be destroyed.(AA)
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish those who are complacent,(AB)
who are like wine left on its dregs,(AC)
who think, ‘The Lord will do nothing,(AD)
either good or bad.’(AE)
13 Their wealth will be plundered,(AF)
their houses demolished.
Though they build houses,
they will not live in them;
though they plant vineyards,
they will not drink the wine.”(AG)
14 The great day of the Lord(AH) is near(AI)—
near and coming quickly.
The cry on the day of the Lord is bitter;
the Mighty Warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 That day will be a day of wrath—
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of trouble and ruin,
a day of darkness(AJ) and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness(AK)—
16 a day of trumpet and battle cry(AL)
against the fortified cities
and against the corner towers.(AM)
17 “I will bring such distress(AN) on all people
that they will grope about like those who are blind,(AO)
because they have sinned against the Lord.
Their blood will be poured out(AP) like dust
and their entrails like dung.(AQ)
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath.”(AR)
