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 Jehovah, which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, 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 consume all things from the face of the land, saith Jehovah;

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 consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of heaven, and the fishes of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks with the wicked; And I will cut off man from the face of the land, saith Jehovah.

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 over Judah, And over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And I will cut off from this place the residue of Baal, The name of the idol-sacrificers 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.

And those who bow themselves on the house-tops to the host of heaven, And those who bow themselves and swear by Jehovah, And also swear by their idol,

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.

And those that turn back from Jehovah, And those that seek not Jehovah, nor inquire for 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 before the Lord Jehovah! For the day of Jehovah is near; For Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice; He hath appointed 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.

And in the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah it shall come to pass That I will punish the princes and the sons of the king, And all that are clothed with foreign apparel.

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 also will I punish all that leap over the threshold, That fill the houses of their master 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.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, That there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the other part of the city, And of great destruction 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.

Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh! For all the trafficking people are cut down; All they that bear silver are destroyed.

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.

And it shall come to pass at that time, That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men that are settled on their lees; That say in their hearts, “Jehovah doeth neither good nor evil.”

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 substance shall become a spoil, And their houses a desolation; They shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; And shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

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 day of Jehovah is near, the great day; It is near, and hasteth greatly; The day of Jehovah shall resound; Bitterly shall the mighty man cry for help.

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 destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, 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 the war-shout, Against the fenced cities, And against the high 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.”

And I will distress the men, so that they shall walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against Jehovah. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, And their flesh as 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 shall be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah, But by the fire of his indignation shall the whole land be devoured; For destruction, and that a speedy one, will he bring Upon all that dwell in the land.
