# 番-Zep 2 ## 番2:1 不知羞耻的国民哪！你们应当聚集。 Zep 2:1 “Gather together, yes, gather, O shameless nation,” ## 番2:2 趁命令没有发出，日子过去如风前的糠，耶和华的烈怒未临到你们，他发怒的日子未到以先，你们应当聚集前来。 Zep 2:2 “before the decree takes effect —before the day passes away like chaff— before there comes upon you the burning anger of the LORD, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the LORD.” ## 番2:3 世上遵守耶和华典章的谦卑人哪！你们都当寻求耶和华；当寻求公义谦卑，或者在耶和华发怒的日子，可以隐藏起来。 Zep 2:3 “Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the LORD.” ## 番2:4 迦萨必致见弃，亚实基伦必然荒凉。人在正午必赶出亚实突的民，以革伦也被拔出根来。 Zep 2:4 “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.” ## 番2:5 住沿海之地的基利提族有祸了！迦南非利士人之地啊！耶和华的话与你反对，说：“我必毁灭你，以致无人居住。” Zep 2:5 “Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.” ## 番2:6 沿海之地要变为草场，其上有牧人的住处，和羊群的圈。 Zep 2:6 “And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures, with meadows for shepherds and folds for flocks.” ## 番2:7 这地必为犹大家剩下的人所得，他们必在那里牧放群羊，晚上必躺卧在亚实基伦的房屋中；因为耶和华他们的神，必眷顾他们，使他们被掳的人归回。 Zep 2:7 “The seacoast shall become the possession of the remnant of the house of Judah, on which they shall graze, and in the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. For the LORD their God will be mindful of them and restore their fortunes.” ## 番2:8 我听见摩押人的毁谤和亚扪人的辱骂，就是毁谤我的百姓，自夸自大，侵犯他们的境界。 Zep 2:8 “I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted my people and made boasts against their territory.” ## 番2:9 万军之耶和华以色列的神说：“我指着我的永生起誓，摩押必象所多玛，亚扪人必象蛾摩拉，都变为刺草、盐坑，永远荒废之地。我百姓所剩下的，必掳掠他们，我国中所余剩的必得着他们的地。” Zep 2:9 “Therefore, as I live,” declares the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, “Moab shall become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah, a land possessed by nettles and salt pits, and a waste forever. The remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.” ## 番2:10 这事临到他们，是因他们骄傲，自夸自大，毁谤万军之耶和华的百姓。 Zep 2:10 “This shall be their lot in return for their pride, because they taunted and boasted against the people of the LORD of hosts.” ## 番2:11 耶和华必向他们显可畏之威，因他必叫世上的诸神瘦弱，列国海岛的居民，各在自己的地方敬拜他。 Zep 2:11 “The LORD will be awesome against them; for he will famish all the gods of the earth, and to him shall bow down, each in its place, all the lands of the nations.” ## 番2:12 古实人哪！你们必被我的刀所杀。 Zep 2:12 “You also, O Cushites, shall be slain by my sword.” ## 番2:13 耶和华必伸手攻击北方，毁灭亚述，使尼尼微荒凉，又干旱如旷野。 Zep 2:13 “And he will stretch out his hand against the north and destroy Assyria, and he will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like the desert.” ## 番2:14 群畜，就是各国的走兽(“国”或作“类”)，必卧在其中；鹈鹕和箭猪要宿在柱顶上。在窗户内有鸣叫的声音；门槛都必毁坏，香柏木已经露出。 Zep 2:14 “Herds shall lie down in her midst, all kinds of beasts; even the owl and the hedgehog shall lodge in her capitals; a voice shall hoot in the window; devastation will be on the threshold; for her cedar work will be laid bare.” ## 番2:15 这是素来欢乐安然居住的城，心里说：“惟有我，除我以外再没有别的。”现在何竟荒凉，成为野兽躺卧之处？凡经过的人都必摇手嗤笑他。 Zep 2:15 “This is the exultant city that lived securely, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one else.” What a desolation she has become, a lair for wild beasts! Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.”
