Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

גַּם־כַּסְפָּ֨⁠ם גַּם־זְהָבָ֜⁠ם לֹֽא־יוּכַ֣ל לְ⁠הַצִּילָ֗⁠ם

also/yet silver,their also/yet gold,their not he/it_would_be_able to,save,them

Yahweh is speaking as if the silver and the gold that the Judeans own were living things that could deliver them from their enemies. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “They will not even be able to pay their enemies silver or gold in order to be spared”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠בְ⁠אֵשׁ֙ קִנְאָת֔⁠וֹ תֵּאָכֵ֖ל כָּל־הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

and,in/on/at/with,fire jealousy,his consumed all/each/any/every the=earth/land

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “For the fire of his jealousy will consume the whole earth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠אֵשׁ֙ קִנְאָת֔⁠וֹ תֵּאָכֵ֖ל כָּל־הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

and,in/on/at/with,fire jealousy,his consumed all/each/any/every the=earth/land

Yahweh is speaking as if his jealousy were a fire that is literally going to burn up the entire earth. As the next sentence indicates, he is using the term “earth” to mean the people who live on the earth, and he is referring to the way that he will punish those people for worshiping false gods and living sinfully. He is speaking of that punishment as if it were a fire. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “For he will destroy all of the people who live on the earth when he punishes them in his jealousy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וּ⁠בְ⁠אֵשׁ֙ קִנְאָת֔⁠וֹ תֵּאָכֵ֖ל כָּל־הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

and,in/on/at/with,fire jealousy,his consumed all/each/any/every the=earth/land

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of jealousy, you could express the same idea in another way. Zephaniah is saying that Yahweh is jealous because the people who live on the earth have been worshiping false gods even though they owe him their exclusive worship because he is the only true God. Alternate translation: Alternate translation: “For he will destroy all of the people who live on the earth when he punishes them because he is jealous that they have been worshiping false gods instead of him, the only true God”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כָלָ֤ה אַךְ־נִבְהָלָה֙ יַֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה אֵ֥ת כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

end yes terrifying make DOM all/each/any/every inhabitants the=earth/land

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of consummation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he will end the lives of all the inhabitants of the earth, and he will do that quickly”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵ֖י הָ⁠אָֽרֶץ

all/each/any/every all/each/any/every inhabitants the=earth/land

Since Yahweh does not kill righteous people along with wicked people, the word all may be a generalization for emphasis, or the expression the inhabitants of the earth may refer specifically to wicked people. Alternate translation: “many of the people who live on the earth” or “the wicked people who disobey him”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

נִבְהָלָה֙

terrifying

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The word translated hastened could mean: (1) that Yahweh will quickly do what he is describing. Alternate translation: “he will do this soon” (2) that when Yahweh does this, it will terrify people. Alternate translation: “a terrifying one”
