Kniha proroka Sofoniáša

1 (KJV) Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
1 (KAT) Zhromaždite a pozbierajte sa, vy, nehanebný národ,

2 (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.
2 (KAT) skôr než porodí rozhodnutie a odletí deň ako pleva. Skôr než príde na vás blčiaci Pánov hnev, skôr než príde na vás deň Pánovho hnevu.

3 (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.
3 (KAT) Hľadajte Pána, všetci pokorní zeme, ktorí konáte podľa jeho práva, hľadajte spravodlivosť, hľadajte pokoru, možno, že sa schováte v deň Pánovho hnevu.

4 (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.
4 (KAT) Lebo Gaza bude opustená a Askalon pustatinou, Azot rozoženú za bieleho dňa a Akaron vyhubia.

5 (KJV) Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
5 (KAT) Beda obyvateľom pomorského pásu, národu Kréťanov! Pánovo slovo je proti vám, Kanaán, krajina Filištíncov: „Vyhubím ťa, že nebudeš mať občanov.“

6 (KJV) And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
6 (KAT) Pomorský pás bude nivou, stepou pre pastierov a košiarom pre stáda.

7 (KJV) And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
7 (KAT) A pomorský pás bude patriť zvyškom Júdovým, tam sa budú pásť, v domoch Askalona budú za večera košiariť, lebo ich navštívi Pán, ich Boh, a obráti ich osud.

8 (KJV) I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
8 (KAT) „Počul som hanobenie Moabu a rúhanie synov Amona, keď znevažovali môj ľud a rozťahovali sa na jeho území.

9 (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.
9 (KAT) Preto ako žijem - hovorí Pán zástupov, Boh Izraelov - Moab bude ako Sodoma a Amončania ako Gomora, poľom tŕnia, soľnou baňou a pustatinou naveky. Zvyšky môjho ľudu ich vyplienia a ostatok môjho národa sa ich zmocní.“

10 (KJV) This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
10 (KAT) Toto ich zastihne pre ich pýchu, pretože hanobili a vyvyšovali sa nad národ Pána zástupov.

11 (KJV) The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
11 (KAT) Pán bude hrozný proti nim, veď vykántri všetkých bohov zeme a jemu sa bude klaňať každý zo svojej vlasti, všetky ostrovy národov.

12 (KJV) Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
12 (KAT) „Aj vy, Etiópci… Tí sú prebodnutí mojím mečom!“

13 (KJV) And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
13 (KAT) Vystrie ruku proti severu a znivočí Asýrsko, Ninive urobí opusteným, vyschnutým ako pustatina.

14 (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.
14 (KAT) Uprostred neho budú ležať stáda, húfy rozličných zvierat; i pelikán a jež budú nocovať medzi jeho stĺpmi. Počúvaj! Vresk v oblokoch, havran na prahu, lebo cédrové trámy sú vytrhnuté.

15 (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.
15 (KAT) Toto je mesto, ktoré plesalo, bývalo bezstarostne a hovorilo si v srdci: „Ja som a nikto viac!“ Ako sa stalo pustatinou, ležiskom zveriny? Každý, kto popri ňom prejde, hvízda a máva rukou.
