Sophonie 2:2-4
La Bible du Semeur
2 avant que le décret ╵soit publié,
que le jour passe ╵comme la bale au vent !
N’attendez pas ╵que se fasse sentir sur vous ╵l’ardeur de la colère ╵de l’Eternel,
que vous atteigne
le jour de la colère ╵de l’Eternel.
3 Tournez-vous donc vers l’Eternel, ╵vous tous les humbles du pays,
vous qui faites ce qui est droit,
cherchez à accomplir ╵ce qui est juste. ╵Efforcez-vous d’être humbles ;
peut-être serez-vous ╵mis à l’abri
au jour de la colère ╵de l’Eternel.
Malheur aux Philistins
4 Gaza sera abandonnée,
Ashkelôn sera dévastée,
les habitants d’Ashdod ╵seront chassés au loin ╵à l’heure de midi.
Eqrôn sera déracinée.
Zephaniah 2:2-4
English Standard Version
Zephaniah 2:2-4
English Standard Version
2 (A)before the decree takes effect[a]
—before the day passes away (B)like chaff—
(C)before there comes upon you
the burning anger of the Lord,
before there comes upon you
the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 (D)Seek the Lord, (E)all you humble of the land,
who do his just commands;[b]
(F)seek righteousness; seek humility;
(G)perhaps (H)you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
4 (I)For Gaza shall be deserted,
and Ashkelon shall become a desolation;
Ashdod's people shall be driven out at noon,
and Ekron shall be uprooted.

you who do what he commands.
