Sefanaia 2
1 Dilia da hame gogosiasu fi! Dilia asigi dawa: su moloma!
Bend yourselves, yea, bend ye, O nation not desired,
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!
Before the bringing forth of a statute, As chaff hath the day passed on, While yet not come in upon you doth the heat of the anger of Jehovah, While yet not come in upon you doth a day of the anger of Jehovah,
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 Jehovah, all ye humble of the land, Who His judgment have done, Seek ye righteousness, seek humility, It may be ye are hidden in a day of the anger of Jehovah.
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 is forsaken, And Ashkelon [is] for a desolation, Ashdod! at noon they do cast her forth, And Ekron is rooted up.
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.
Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of Jehovah [is] against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an 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.
And the sea-coast hath been habitations, Cottages [for] shepherds, and folds [for] a flock.
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 coast hath been for the remnant of the house of Judah, By them they have pleasure, In houses of Ashkelon at even they lie down, For inspect them doth Jehovah their God, And He hath turned back [to] their captivity.
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, Wherewith they reproached My people, And magnify [themselves] against their border.
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.”
Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation — unto the age. A residue of My people do seize them, And a remnant of My nation 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 [is] to them for their arrogancy, Because they have reproached, And they magnify [themselves] against the people of Jehovah 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.
Fearful [is] Jehovah against them, For He made bare all gods of the land, And bow themselves to Him, each from his place, Do all islanders of the nations.
12 Amola Hina Gode da Idioubia fi dunu medole legemu.
Also ye, O Cushim, pierced of My sword [are] 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 He stretcheth His hand against the north, And doth destroy Asshur, And he setteth Nineveh for a desolation, A dry land like a wilderness.
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.
And crouched in her midst have droves, Every beast of the nation, Both pelican and hedge-hog in her knobs lodge, A voice doth sing at the window, 'Destruction [is] at the threshold, For the cedar-work is exposed.'
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 exulting city that is dwelling confidently, That is saying in her heart, 'I [am], and beside me there is none,' How hath she been for a desolation, A crouching-place for beasts, Every one passing by her doth hiss, He doth shake his hand!
