Sefanaia 1

1 Eso amoga hina bagade Yousaia (A: mone ea mano) da Yuda soge ouligisu, amo esoha Hina Gode da Sefanaiama sia: ne i. (Sefanaia da Giusai amalu Gedalaia amalu A: malaia amalu hina bagade Hesigaia amo ilia egaga fi dunu esalu.)

The word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

2 Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da osobo bagadega esalebe liligi huluane gugunufinisisimu.

I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

3 Na da dunu fi huluane, ohe fi, sio amola menabo huluane wadela: lesimu. Wadela: i hamosu dunu huluane dafama: ne, Na da wadela: lesimu. Na da dunu fi huluane wadela: lesisia, dunu afae esalebe da hame ba: mu. Na, Hina Gode, da sia: i dagoi.

I will sweep away people and animals. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble. I will remove humankind from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

4 Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fi amola Yuda soge fi huluane ilima se bagade imunu. Na da ilia Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu hou huluane gugunufinisimudafa. Amasea, dunu huluane da Na hou hame lalegagui gobele salasu dunu (amo da Ba: ilema hawa: hamosa) amo gogolele, bu hamedafa dawa: mu.

I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,

5 Na da nowa dunu da diasu da: iya gado heda: le, eso amola gasumuni amola oubi amoma nodone sia: ne gadosa, amo fi huluane wadela: lesimu. Amola nowa da Nama nodone sia: ne gadosa, amola ilia lafidili Nama molole fa: no bobogemu sia: sa, be gilisili ogogosu ‘gode’ Moulege ea dioba: le sia: sa, amo amola Na da wadela: lesimu.

those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Milcom,

6 Amola nowa dunu da Nama fa: no bobogelalu bu wadela: i hou amoma sinidigili, amola Nama Na ouligisu amola hou olelesu hame adole ba: sa, amo amola Na da wadela: lesimu,” Hina Gode da amane sia: i.

those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven't sought the LORD nor inquired after him.

7 Hina Gode Ea Fofada: su Eso amoga E da osobo bagade fi wadela: lesimu amo da gadenesa. Amaiba: le, dilia huluane Ea midadi ouiya: le esaloma. Hina Gode da Ea fi dunu gobele salasu hou defele, medole legemu. E da ha lai dunu amo Yuda soge liligi huluane gegenana lama: ne hiougi dagoi.

Be silent at the presence of the LORD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

8 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo medole legesu esoga, Na da eagene hawa: hamosu dunu, amola hina bagade ea mano, amola nowa da ga fi ilia sia: ne gadosu hou hamonana, amo huluane ilima se imunu.

It will happen in the day of the LORD's sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign attire.

9 Na da nowa dunu da hame lalegagui agoane nodone sia: ne gadosa, amola ilia ouligisu dunu ea diasu wamolai liligi amoga nabama: ne wamolasa amola medole legesa, amo dunu huluane ilima Na da se bagade imunu.

In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.

10 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Amo esoga dilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade Menabo Logo Ga: su amoga dibi sia: bagade nabimu. Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade gaheabolo la: idiga, dilia da didigia: su nabimu. Amola agolo damana agolo agebe ea ga: defele nabimu.

On that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.

11 Amo nabasea, dilia moilai bai bagade hagudu la: idi esalebe dunu, didiga: ma amola dima! Bai dilia bidi lasu dunu huluane da bogogia: i dagoi.

Wail, you inhabitants of the market district, for all the merchants will be destroyed, and all those who weigh out silver will be removed.

12 Amasea, amo esoga, Na da gamali lale, Yelusaleme ganodini hogomu. Nowa dunu da hahawane hi hou da defele dawa: lebe, amola ilisu da, ‘Hina Gode da hamedei. E da hawa: hamomu hame dawa: ,’ amane sia: sa, amo huluanema Na da se imunu.

It will happen at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the people who are complacent, who say in their heart, "The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm."

13 Ilia gagui liligi wamolai dagoi ba: mu, amola ilia diasu wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Ilia da diasu ili gagubi amoga hamedafa fifi ahoanumu, amola ilia waini efe sagabe amo ea waini hano hamedafa nanamu.”

Their wealth will be looted and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won't inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won't drink their wine.

14 Hina Gode Ea eso bagade da doaga: mu gadenesa. Amola gadeneidafa amola hedolowane doaga: mu. Amo eso da se nabasu bagadedafa ba: mu. Amola nimi bagade dadi gagui dunu da lobo healeiba: le, didigia: mu.

The great day of the LORD is near. Near and approaching very rapidly. The cry on the day of the LORD is bitter. In it the warrior shouts his battle cry.

15 Amo eso da ougi ha lasu eso, se nabasu amola bidi hamosu eso, wadela: lesisu amola mugulusu eso, amoga da gasi bagade amola alaloyo amola hadigi da bunumai mumobiga dedebomu.

That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of devastation and ruin, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

16 Amo esoha gegesu ‘dalabede’ wesu bagade nabimu, amola gegesu dunu ilia halasu fawane nabimu. Ilia da moilai bai bagade gagili sali amola diasu sedade gado gagagula heda: i amoma doagala: beba: le, halasu bagade nabimu.

a day of the trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.

17 Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, “Na da se nabasu bagadedafa dunu fifi asi gala huluane ilima imunu. Amaiba: le, ilia da si dofoi dunu agoane ahoanumu. Ilia da Nama wadela: le hamoiba: le, ilia maga: me da hano agoane sogadigimu, amola ilia bogogia: le, ilia da: i hodo da udigili osoboga dasagia: ma: ne dialumu.”

I will bring distress on the people, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.

18 Amo esoha, Hina Gode da Ea ougi bagade hou olelesea, ilia silifa amola gouli gagui amo da ili hame gaga: mu. Osobo bagade huluane da Gode Ea ougi lalu agoane amoga wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. E da hedolodafa dunu huluane osobo bagade amoga esalebe, amo ilia esalusu dagolesimu.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will bring terrifying destruction on all the inhabitants of the land.
