Zephaniah西番雅書-2

2:1	[hb5]	不知羞恥的國民哪、你們應當聚集．趁命令沒有發出、日子過去如風前的糠、耶和華的烈怒未臨到你們、他發怒的日子未到以先、你們應當聚集前來。
	[kjv]	Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
	[bbe]	Come together, make everyone come together, O nation without shame;
2:2	[hb5]	見上節
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	Before the Lord sends you violently away in flight like the waste from the grain; before the burning wrath of the Lord comes on you, before the day of the Lord's wrath comes on you.
2:3	[hb5]	世上遵守耶和華典章的謙卑人哪、你們都當尋求耶和華．當尋求公義謙卑、或者在耶和華發怒的日子、可以隱藏起來。
	[kjv]	Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.
	[bbe]	Make search for the Lord, all you quiet ones of the earth, who have done what is right in his eyes; make search for righteousness and a quiet heart: it may be that you will be safely covered in the day of the Lord's wrath.
2:4	[hb5]	迦薩必致見棄．亞實基倫必然荒涼．人在正午必趕出亞實突的民．以革倫也被拔出根來。
	[kjv]	For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
	[bbe]	For Gaza will be given up and Ashkelon will become waste: they will send Ashdod out in the middle of the day, and Ekron will be uprooted.
2:5	[hb5]	住沿海之地的基利提族有禍了．迦南非利士人之地阿、耶和華的話與你反對、說、我必毀滅你、以致無人居住。

	[bbe]	Sorrow to the people living by the sea, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will send destruction on you till there is no one living in you.
2:6	[hb5]	沿海之地要變為草場、其上有牧人的住處和羊群的圈。

	[bbe]	And the land by the sea will be grass-land, with houses for keepers of sheep and walled places for flocks.

	[bbe]	My ears have been open to the bitter words of Moab and the words of shame of the children of Ammon, which they have said against my people, lifting themselves up against the limit of their land.
2:9	[hb5]	萬軍之耶和華以色列的　神說、我指著我的永生起誓、摩押必像所多瑪、亞捫人必像蛾摩拉、都變為刺草、鹽坑、永遠荒廢之地。我百姓所剩下的必擄掠他們、我國中所餘剩的必得著他們的地。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.
2:10	[hb5]	這事臨到他們是、因他們驕傲、自誇自大、毀謗萬軍之耶和華的百姓。

2:14	[hb5]	群畜、就是各國的走獸、〔國或作類〕必臥在其中．鵜鶘和箭豬要宿在柱頂上．在窗戶內有鳴叫的聲音．門檻都必毀壞．香柏木已經露出。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	And herds will take their rest in the middle of her, all the beasts of the valley: the pelican and the porcupine will make their living-places on the tops of its pillars; the owl will be crying in the window; the raven will be seen on the doorstep.
2:15	[hb5]	這是素來歡樂安然居住的城、心裡說、惟有我、除我以外再沒有別的．現在何竟荒涼、成為野獸躺臥之處．凡經過的人都必搖手嗤笑他。
	[kjv]	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.
	[bbe]	This is the town which was full of joy, living without fear of danger, saying in her heart, I am, and there is no other: how has she been made waste, a place for beasts to take their rest in! everyone who goes by her will make hisses, waving his hand.
