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.
Woe [to] the rebellious and polluted, The oppressing city!
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 not hearkened to the voice, She hath not accepted instruction, In Jehovah she hath not trusted, Unto her God she 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 heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are] evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in 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 unstable — men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated 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.
Jehovah [is] righteous in her midst, He doth not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment he giveth to the light, It hath not been lacking, And the perverse doth not know 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, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
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 have said: Only, ye do fear Me, Ye do accept instruction, And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all their doings.
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.
Therefore, wait for Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, For the day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them Mine indignation, All the heat of Mine anger, For by the fire of My jealousy consumed is all the 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.
For then do I turn unto peoples a pure lip, To call all of them by the name of Jehovah, To serve Him [with] one shoulder.
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 Cush, my supplicants, The daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present.
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 thou art not ashamed because of any of thine actions, Wherewith thou hast transgressed against Me, For then do I turn aside from thy midst The exulting ones of thine excellency, And thou dost add no more to be haughty, 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.
And I have left in thy midst a people humble and poor, And they have trusted in the name of Jehovah.
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 do no perversity, nor speak lies, Nor found in their mouth is a deceitful tongue, For they have delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling.
14 Hahawane gesami hea: ma amola wema! Yelusaleme fi dilia! Dilia dogoga ha: giwane nodoma!
Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and exult with the whole heart, 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.
Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, [is] in thy midst, Thou seest evil no 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 it is said to Jerusalem, 'Fear not, O Zion, let not thy 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.”
Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, A mighty one doth save, He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He joyeth over thee with singing.'
18 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da dili wadela: lesimu sia: i amo dagolesi. Na da dilia gogosiasu fadegai dagoi.
Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered, from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake 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.
Lo, I am dealing with all afflicting thee at that time, And I have saved the halting one, And the driven out ones I do gather, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all the land of 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 I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah!
