Sefanaia 2
1 Dilia da hame gogosiasu fi! Dilia asigi dawa: su moloma!
Collect your thoughts, aye collect them, —O nation, depressed!
2 Dilia da gisi a: le fasi defele amo biosa: besa: le, amola Hina Gode Ea gia: i bagade ougi hou dilima doaga: sa: besa: le, dilia asigi dawa: su moloma!
Ere yet the decree, have given birth, like chaff, the day, have vanished, —ere yet shall come upon you, the glow of the anger of Yahweh, ere yet shall come upon you, the day of the anger of Yahweh.
3 Hina Godema sinidigima! Soge ganodini asaboi dunu amo da Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i nabawane hamosa, dilia Hina Godema sinidigima! Moloidafa hamoma amola Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, dilia hou fofonoboma! Amabela? Dilia da amo esoga, Hina Gode da Ea ougi hou ba: ma: ne olelesea, se nabasu hame ba: mu.
Seek Yahweh—all ye lowly of the land, who have wrought, what he appointed, —seek righteousness, seek humility, peradventure, ye shall be concealed, in the day of the anger of Yahweh?
4 Ga: isa amola A: segelone moilai bai bagade ela ganodini dunu afae esalebe hame ba: mu. Asedode moilai bai bagade dunu da eso afaega esomogoa gadili sefasi dagoi ba: mu. Egelone moilai bai bagade dunu fi da gadili sefasi dagoi ba: mu.
For, Gaza, forsaken, shall be, and, Ashkelon, a desolation, —Ashdod! at high noon, shall they drive her forth, and, Ekron, be uprooted:
5 Dilia Filisidini dunu amo da hano wayabo bagade bega: esala! Dilia amola da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Hina Gode da dilima se nabasu imunusa: ilegei dagoi. E da dili huluane wadela: lesili, dilia dunu afae esalebe hame ba: mu.
Alas! for the inhabitants of the line of the sea, the nation of Kerethim, —The word of Yahweh, is against you, O Canaan of the land of the Philistines, therefore will I destroy thee, to the last inhabitant.
6 Dilia soge huluane hano wayabo gadenene da dunu hame esalebe, moifufu sogebi fawane ba: mu. Amogawi sibi ouligisu dunu ilia diasu amola sibi gagoi amo fawane dialebe ba: mu.
So shall the line of the sea become a meadow, the wells of shepherds, and the folds of flocks;
7 Amola Yuda fi hame bogoi esalebe dunu da misini, dilia soge lale fimu. Ilia sibi amola bulamagau wa: i da amogawi afugisimu. Amola dunu da A: segelone moilai bai bagade diasu ili ganodini golamu. Amola ilia Hina Gode da ili ouligimu, amola ilia da bu hahawane bagade gaguiwane fifi lalumu.
And the line shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah, Thereon, shall they feed their flocks, —In the houses of Ashkelon, shall they, at eventide, lie down, for Yahweh their God will visit them, and bring their captives back.
8 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Moua: be amola A: mone fi dunu da Na fi dunu ilima gadele sia: su, amola ilima dafama: ne sia: su amola ilia soge lama: ne hidale nodone sia: su, Na da nabi dagoi.
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the sons of Ammon, —who have reproached my people, and have magnified themselves up to their bounds.
9 Na da Isala: ili fi ilia Fifi Ahoanusu Godedafa! Amola Na da dafawanedafa amane ilegele sia: sa. Na da Sodame amola Goumola moilai bai bagade wadela: lesi, amo defele Na da Moua: be amola A: mone wadela: lesimu. Ilia sogega da sali dogosu gelabo bagohame ba: mu amola wadela: lesi dagoiba: le bu hahamomu da hamedei ba: mu. Wadela: i gisi da amo soge dedebomu. Na fi dunu (Isala: ili fi) amo da hame bogoi esalebe, da Moua: be amola A: mone ilia liligi amola ilia soge gegene lamu.”
Wherefore, as I live, declareth Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab, like Sodom, shall become, and, the sons of Ammon, like Gomorrah, a possession for the thorn, and a pit of salt, Yea a desolation, unto times age-abiding: The remnant of my people, shall make of them a prey, and, the residue of my nation, shall inherit them.
10 Moua: be amola A: mone fi dunu da gasa fili, Hina Gode Bagadedafa amo Ea fi dunu ilima gadele bagade sia: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da se iasu bagade ba: mu.
This, shall they have, instead of their pride, —because they reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
11 Hina Gode da ili bagade beda: ma: ne hamomu. E da osobo bagade ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi huluane dafawane wadela: lesimu. Amasea, fifi asi gala dunu huluanedafa da ilia soge afae afae ganodini, Ema nodone sia: ne gadomu.
Terrible will Yahweh be against them, for he hath caused to waste away all the gods of the earth, that men may bow down to him, every one from his place, all the coastlands of the nations:
12 Amola Hina Gode da Idioubia fi dunu medole legemu.
Even ye Ethiopians, the slain of my sword were they!
13 Hina Gode da Ea gasaga, amo Asilia soge wadela: lesimu. E da Ninefe moilai bai bagade wadela: lesimu. Amo da dunu hame esalebe, mugului dagoi, hano hamedene hafoga: i soge agoane ba: mu.
And may he stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Assyria, —and may he make of Nineveh a desolation, dry as the desert!
14 Amasea, amoga da bulamagau, sibi wa: i amola ohe fi hisu hisu ilia fawane esalebe ba: mu. Ea mugulubi amo ganodini da baou esalumu. Ilia da diasu logo holei gelabodili gugumuni imunu. Ninefe moilai bai bagade dobea fei dolo ifa da hiougili fasi dagoi ba: mu.
So shall lie down in her midst—flocks, each living thing of a nation, both pelican and bittern, in her capitals, shall roost, —a voice, shall resound in the window, the bustard, on the sill, for he hath destroyed, hath laid bare.
15 Ninefe fi dunu ilisu da gasa bagade amola hahawane gaga: i dagoi ilisu dawa: sa. Ilia moilai bai bagade da osobo bagade moilai bai bagade huluane baligi dagoi ilisu dawa: sa. Be ilia moilai bai bagade da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Ea sogebi da dunu hame esalebe hamedei soge agoane ba: mu, amola amo ganodini sigua ohe fi fawane esalebe ba: mu. Dunu huluane da amo sogebi bobaligisia, fofogadigili hagamu.
This, is the city exultant, that sat secure, that said in her heart, I, [am]! and no one besides! How hath she become a desolation! a lair of beasts, every one passing, by her doth hiss, shaketh his hand.
