Sefanaia 3
1 Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da hame nabasu wadela: idafa sogebi, amola ilia fi da ilia fidafa dunu ili banenesisa. Yelusaleme da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu. Hobeale masunu logo hame ba: mu.
Sorrow to her who is uncontrolled and unclean, the cruel town!
2 Ilia da Hina Gode Ea sia: hame nabasu amola Ea dawa: ma: ne se iasu hame lalegagui. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea hou dafawaneyale hame dawa: su, amola E ili fidima: ne hame adole ba: su.
She gave no attention to the voice, she had no use for teaching, she put no faith in the Lord, she did not come near to her God.
3 Yelusaleme eagene hawa: hamosu dunu da laione wa: me gogonomobe defele ba: sa. Ea fofada: su dunu da soge wa: me amo da gasa hahabe manusa: ligisimusa: hame dawa: sa, amo defele uasusa.
Her rulers are like loud-voiced lions in her; her judges are wolves of the evening, crushing up the bones before the morning.
4 Yuda balofede dunu ilia hou da diahamosu amola hohonosu agoane. Gobele salasu dunu da sema liligi amo wadela: lesisa. Ilila: musu fidima: ne, ilia Gode Ea sema ogobele olelesa.
Her prophets are good-for-nothing persons, full of deceit: her priests have made the holy place unclean and have gone violently against the law.
5 Be Hina Gode da amo moilai bai bagade ga: iwane esala. E da moloidafa hou fawane hamosa amola giadofale hamosu hamedafa dawa: Hahabe huluanedafa, E da moloidafa hou Ea fi dunuma olelesa. Be moloi hame dunu da mae fisili, wadela: i hou hamonana. Amola ilia da amoga hamedafa gogosiasa.
The Lord in her is upright; he will not do evil; every morning he lets his righteousness be seen, he is unchanging; but the evil-doer has no sense of shame.
6 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da fifi asi gala bagohame gugunufinisi dagoi. Na da ilia moilai bai bagade mugululi fasi amola ilia gagoi dobea amola diasu gagagula heda: i amo mugululi fasi dagoi. Moilai bai bagade huluane da ma: bui dagoi. Moilai bai bagade logo huluane da lei dagoi, dunu afae esalebe hame ba: sa.
I have had the nations cut off, their towers are broken down; I have made their streets a waste so that no one goes through them: destruction has overtaken their towns, so that there is no man living in them.
7 Na da amane hamobeba: le, Na fi dunu ilia da Nama nodonanu, Na dawa: ma: ne se iasu lalegagumu amola Na olelesu hamedafa gogolemu, amo Na da dawa: i galu. Be ilia da amo olelesu mae dawa: le, ilia musa: wadela: i hou hedolowane bu hamosu.”
I said, Certainly you will go in fear of me, and come under my training, so that whatever I may send on her may not be cut off before her eyes: but they got up early and made all their works evil.
8 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Waha oualigima! Na da wa: legadole, fifi asi gala ilima diliwaneya udidimu. Na da amo ilegei dagoi. Na da fifi asi gala huluane ilia Na gasa bagade ougi hou ba: ma: ne gilisimu. Osobo bagade huluane da Na ougi lalu agoane amoga nei dagoi ba: mu.
For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.
9 Amasea, Na da fifi asi gala dunu huluane ilia hou afadenemu. Amola ilia da ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima sia: ne gadosu yolesili, Nama fawane sia: ne gadomu. Ilia huluane da Na sia: nabawane hamomu.
For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind.
10 Idioubia soge da badiliadafa amola amoga Na fi mogili da afagogoi. Be amoga Na fi dunu afagogoi da udigili iasu Nama gaguli misunu.
From over the rivers of Ethiopia, and from the sides of the north, they will come to me with an offering.
11 Na fi dunu! Amo esoha, dilia da musa: Nama lelebeba: le, bu hame gogosiamu. Na da nowa dunu da gasa fi amola hidale hamosu amo huluane dilia fi amoga fadegale fasimu. Amasea, dilia da Na sema agologa, Nama bu hamedafa lelemu.
In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.
12 Na da amogawi, fi amo da asaboi amola bodogi gala hamomu. Ilia Nama Na fidisu lama: ne misunusa: hame higamu.
But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord.
13 Isala: ili fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe da dunu enoma wadela: le hamedafa hamomu. Ilia da ogogosu hamedafa dawa: mu. Ilia da bagade gaguiwane amola gaga: iwane esalumu. Amola ilia da eno dunuma hamedafa beda: mu. Isala: ili dunu! Hahawaneba: le, gesami hea: ma
The rest of Israel will do no evil and say no false words; the tongue of deceit will not be seen in their mouth: for they will take their food and their rest, and no one will be a cause of fear to them.
14 Hahawane gesami hea: ma amola wema! Yelusaleme fi dilia! Dilia dogoga ha: giwane nodoma!
Make melody, O daughter of Zion; give a loud cry, O Israel; be glad and let your heart be full of joy, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Hina Gode da dilia se iasu dagolesi. E da dilima ha lai dunu huluane sefasi dagoi. Hina Gode, Isala: ili Hina Bagade, E da dili esala. Wali beda: su bai da hame gala.
The Lord has taken away those who were judging you, he has sent your haters far away: the King of Israel, even the Lord, is among you: you will have no more fear of evil.
16 Eso da mana amoga ilia da Yelusaleme fi ilima amane sia: mu, “Saione moilai bai bagade fi! Mae beda: ma! Beda: ga lobo mae bodola: le salima!
In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble.
17 Dilia Hina Gode da dili esala. Ea gasa da dilima iba: le, dilia da ha lai dunu ili hasali. Hina Gode da dili hahawane dogolegele ba: mu. E da dilima asigiba: le, gaheabolo esalusu dilima imunu. E da dilima gesami hea: mu, amola dunu da lolo nabe amoga hahawane gala, amo defele E da dilima hahawane ba: mu.”
The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.
18 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dili wadela: lesimu sia: i amo dagolesi. Na da dilia gogosiasu fadegai dagoi.
I will take away your troubles, lifting up your shame from off you.
19 Eso da mana! Amoga Na da dilima banenesisu dunu ilima se imunu. Na da emo gasuga: igi dunu huluane gaga: mu. Amola mugululi asi dunu bu oule misunu. Na da ilia gogosiasu bu sinidigili, osobo bagade dunu huluane da ilima nodone sia: mu.
See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.
20 Eso da mana! Na da dilia afagogoi dunu bu oule misunu. Na da hamobeba: le, osobo bagade dunu huluane dili dawa: digili nodomu. Dilia da hahawane bagade gaguiwane bu ba: mu.” Hina Gode da sia: i dagoi. Sia: ama dagoi
At that time I will make you come in, at that time I will get you together: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I let your fate be changed before your eyes, says the Lord.
