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.
Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth!
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 hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:
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 in her midst, are roaring lions, —her judges, evening wolves, they have left nothing until 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 reckless, treacherous men! her priests, have profaned the holy, done violence to 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.
Yahweh, the Righteous One, is in her midst, he dealeth not perversely, —Morning by morning, his justice, bringeth he forth the light, He is not found lacking, but the perverse man knoweth no 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 cut off nations, deserted are their towers, have made desolate their streets, that none passeth through; ruined are their cities, for want of men of note, from lack of any dweller!
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, Surely thou wilt reverence, Me, wilt accept correction, lest her abode, should be cut of, howsoever I had punished her; but, in truth, they soon corrupted all their deeds.
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.
Wherefore, wait for me, urgeth Yahweh, until the day when I rise up as witness, for, my decision, is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out on them mine indignation, all the glow of mine anger, for, in the fire of my jealousy, shall be devoured the whole earth.
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.
Surely, then, will I turn unto the peoples a lip made pure, —that they all may call on the name of Yahweh, may serve him with one consent.
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 beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, [shall come] my suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed ones, shall bear along a gift for me.
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, wilt thou not turn pale for all thy deeds, wherein thou hast transgressed against me? For, then, will I take away out of thy midst thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt not again be haughty any more 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.
So will I leave remaining in thy midst, a people oppressed and poor, —who will seek refuge in the name of Yahweh:
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 remnant of Israel—will not do perversity, nor speak falsehood, neither shall there be found in their mouth a tongue of deceit, —surely, they, shall feed and lie down, with none to make them afraid.
14 Hahawane gesami hea: ma amola wema! Yelusaleme fi dilia! Dilia dogoga ha: giwane nodoma!
Sing out, O daughter of Zion, shout aloud, O Israel, —rejoice and exult with all thy heart, O daughter 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.
Yahweh, hath set aside, thy judgments, hath turned back thy foe, —The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in thy midst, thou shalt not fear calamity, any more.
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, shall it be said—to Jerusalem, Do not fear, —O Zion, Let not thy hands hang down:
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.”
Yahweh, thy God, in the midst of thee, as a mighty one, will save, —will be glad over thee with rejoicing, will be silent in his love, will exult over thee with shouts of triumph.
18 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dili wadela: lesimu sia: i amo dagolesi. Na da dilia gogosiasu fadegai dagoi.
The sad exiles from the appointed meeting, have I gathered, from thee, had they been! [but were] a burden on thee—a reproach!
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.
Behold me! dealing with all thine oppressors, at that time, —and I will save her that is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, and I will make them to be a Praise and a Name, in the whole earth that hath witnessed their shame.
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, will I bring you in, even at the time when I gather you, —Yea I will grant you to become a Name and a Praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I cause them of your captivities to return before your eyes, saith Yahweh.
