Sefanaia 1

1 Eso amoga hina bagade Yousaia (A: mone ea mano) da Yuda soge ouligisu, amo esoha Hina Gode da Sefanaiama sia: ne i. (Sefanaia da Giusai amalu Gedalaia amalu A: malaia amalu hina bagade Hesigaia amo ilia egaga fi dunu esalu.)

This is the word of Yahweh that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah.

2 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da osobo bagadega esalebe liligi huluane gugunufinisisimu.

“I will utterly destroy everything from off the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.

3 Na da dunu fi huluane, ohe fi, sio amola menabo huluane wadela: lesimu. Wadela: i hamosu dunu huluane dafama: ne, Na da wadela: lesimu. Na da dunu fi huluane wadela: lesisia, dunu afae esalebe da hame ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.

I will destroy man and beast; I will destroy the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, the ruins along with the wicked. For I will cut off man from the surface of the earth—this is Yahweh's declaration.

4 Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fi amola Yuda soge fi huluane ilima se bagade imunu. Na da ilia Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou huluane gugunufinisimudafa. Amasea, dunu huluane da Na hou hame lalegagui gobele salasu dunu (amo da Ba: ilema hawa: hamosa) amo gogolele, bu hamedafa dawa: mu.

I will reach out with my hand over Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off every remnant of Baal from this place and the names of the idolatrous people among the priests,

5 Na da nowa dunu da diasu da: iya gado heda: le, eso amola gasumuni amola oubi amoma nodone sia: ne gadosa, amo fi huluane wadela: lesimu. Amola nowa da Nama nodone sia: ne gadosa, amola ilia lafidili Nama molole fa: no bobogemu sia: sa, be gilisili ogogosu ‘gode’ Moulege ea dioba: le sia: sa, amo amola Na da wadela: lesimu.

the people who on the housetops worship the heavenly bodies, and the people who worship and swear to Yahweh but who also swear by their king.

6 Amola nowa dunu da Nama fa: no bobogelalu bu wadela: i hou amoma sinidigili, amola Nama Na ouligisu amola hou olelesu hame adole ba: sa, amo amola Na da wadela: lesimu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: i.

I will also cut off those who have turned away from following Yahweh, those who neither seek Yahweh nor ask for his guidance.”

7 Hina Gode Ea Fofada: su Eso amoga E da osobo bagade fi wadela: lesimu amo da gadenesa. Amaiba: le, dilia huluane Ea midadi ouiya: le esaloma. Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu gobele salasu hou defele, medole legemu. E da ha lai dunu amo Yuda soge liligi huluane gegenana lama: ne hiougi dagoi.

Be silent before the Lord Yahweh! For the day of Yahweh is near; Yahweh has prepared the sacrifice and set apart his guests.

8 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo medole legesu esoga, Na da eagene hawa: hamosu dunu, amola hina bagade ea mano, amola nowa da ga fi ilia sia: ne gadosu hou hamonana, amo huluane ilima se imunu.

“It will come about on the day of Yahweh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes and the king's sons, and everyone dressed in foreign clothes.

9 Na da nowa dunu da hame lalegagui agoane nodone sia: ne gadosa, amola ilia ouligisu dunu ea diasu wamolai liligi amoga nabama: ne wamolasa amola medole legesa, amo dunu huluane ilima Na da se bagade imunu.

On that day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, those who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.

10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo esoga dilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade Menabo Logo Ga: su amoga dibi sia: bagade nabimu. Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade gaheabolo la: idiga, dilia da didigia: su nabimu. Amola agolo damana agolo agebe ea ga: defele nabimu.

So it will be on that day—this is Yahweh's declaration— that a cry of distress will come from the Fish Gate, wailing from the Second District, and a great crashing sound from the hills.

11 Amo nabasea, dilia moilai bai bagade hagudu la: idi esalebe dunu, didiga: ma amola dima! Bai dilia bidi lasu dunu huluane da bogogia: i dagoi.

Wail, inhabitants of the Market District, for all the merchants will be ruined; all those who weigh out silver will be cut off.

12 Amasea, amo esoga, Na da gamali lale, Yelusaleme ganodini hogomu. Nowa dunu da hahawane hi hou da defele dawa: lebe, amola ilisu da, ‘Hina Gode da hamedei. E da hawa: hamomu hame dawa: ,’ amane sia: sa, amo huluanema Na da se imunu.

It will come about at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men who have settled into their wine and say in their heart, 'Yahweh will not do anything, either good or evil.'

13 Ilia gagui liligi wamolai dagoi ba: mu, amola ilia diasu wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da diasu ili gagubi amoga hamedafa fifi ahoanumu, amola ilia waini efe sagabe amo ea waini hano hamedafa nanamu.”

Their wealth will become plunder, and their houses will be an abandoned devastation! They will build houses but not live in them, and plant vineyards but not drink their wine.

14 Hina Gode Ea eso bagade da doaga: mu gadenesa. Amola gadeneidafa amola hedolowane doaga: mu. Amo eso da se nabasu bagadedafa ba: mu. Amola nimi bagade dadi gagui dunu da lobo healeiba: le, didigia: mu.

The great day of Yahweh is near, near and hurrying quickly! The sound of the day of Yahweh will be that of a warrior crying bitterly!

15 Amo eso da ougi ha lasu eso, se nabasu amola bidi hamosu eso, wadela: lesisu amola mugulusu eso, amoga da gasi bagade amola alaloyo amola hadigi da bunumai mumobiga dedebomu.

That day will be a day of fury, a day of distress and anguish, a day of storm and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness.

16 Amo esoha gegesu ‘dalabede’ wesu bagade nabimu, amola gegesu dunu ilia halasu fawane nabimu. Ilia da moilai bai bagade gagili sali amola diasu sedade gado gagagula heda: i amoma doagala: beba: le, halasu bagade nabimu.

It will be a day of trumpets and alarms against the fortified cities and the high battlements.

17 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da se nabasu bagadedafa dunu fifi asi gala huluane ilima imunu. Amaiba: le, ilia da si dofoi dunu agoane ahoanumu. Ilia da Nama wadela: le hamoiba: le, ilia maga: me da hano agoane sogadigimu, amola ilia bogogia: le, ilia da: i hodo da udigili osoboga dasagia: ma: ne dialumu.”

For I will bring distress upon mankind, so that they will walk about like blind men since they have sinned against Yahweh. Their blood will be poured out like dust, and their inner parts like dung.

18 Amo esoha, Hina Gode da Ea ougi bagade hou olelesea, ilia silifa amola gouli gagui amo da ili hame gaga: mu. Osobo bagade huluane da Gode Ea ougi lalu agoane amoga wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. E da hedolodafa dunu huluane osobo bagade amoga esalebe, amo ilia esalusu dagolesimu.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them on the day of Yahweh's fury. In the fire of his jealousy the whole earth will be consumed, for he will bring a complete, a terrible end of all the inhabitants of the earth.”
