Zefaniya 1
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Zefaniya mwana wa Kusi, mwana wa Gedaliya, mwana wa Amariya, mwana wa Hezekiya pa nthawi ya Yosiya, mwana wa Amoni, mfumu ya Yuda.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan bara Yosiyaas ilmi Aamoon mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa gara Sefaaniyaa ilma Kuushii, ilma Gedaaliyaas, ilma Amariyaa, ilma Hisqiyaas dhufe kanaa dha:
2 “Ndidzawononga kotheratu zinthu zonse pa dziko lapansi,” akutero Yehova.
“Ani fuula lafaa irraa waan hunda haxaaʼee nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
3 “Ndidzawononga anthu pamodzi ndi nyama zomwe; ndidzawononga mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nsomba za mʼnyanja. Ndidzawononga anthu oyipa, ndipo ndidzafafaniza mtundu wa anthu pa dziko lonse lapansi,” akutero Yehova.
“Ani namaa fi horii haxaaʼee nan balleessa; simbirroota samiitii fi qurxummii galaanaa, waaqota tolfamoo namoota hamoo gufachiisan haxaaʼee nan balleessa.” “Ani sanyii namaa lafa irraa nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
4 Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa pa Yuda ndi onse okhala mu Yerusalemu. Ndidzawononga pamalo pano otsalira opembedza Baala, mayina a anthu osapembedza pamodzi ndi ansembe a mafano:
“Ani Yihuudaa fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundatti harka koo ol nan fudhadha. Ani hambaa Baʼaal hundaa fi maqaa luboota waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatanii iddoo kanaa nan balleessa;
5 amene amagwada pa madenga a nyumba zawo kupembedza zolengedwa zamumlengalenga, amene amagwada ndi kulumbira mʼdzina la Yehova, komanso mʼdzina la Moleki,
warra raayyaa samii waaqeffachuuf qinaaxxii manaa irratti sagadan, warra sagadanii fi Waaqayyoon kakatan, warra Moolekiinis kakatan,
6 amene abwerera mʼmbuyo osatsata Yehova, osafunafuna kapena kupempha nzeru kwa Yehova.
warra Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼuu dhiisanii duubatti deebiʼan, warra Waaqayyoon hin barbaanne yookaan gorsa isaa hin gaafanne nan balleessa.”
7 Khalani chete pamaso pa Ambuye Yehova, chifukwa tsiku la Yehova layandikira. Yehova wakonzekera kupereka nsembe; wapatula iwo amene wawayitana.
Guyyaan Waaqayyoo waan dhiʼaateef fuula Waaqayyoo Gooftaa duratti calʼisaa. Waaqayyo aarsaa tokko qopheesseera; inni warra affeere qulqulleesseera.
8 Pa tsiku la nsembe ya Yehova ndidzalanga akalonga ndi ana aamuna a mfumu ndi onse amene amavala zovala zachilendo.
“Guyyaa aarsaa Waaqayyootti ani qondaaltota ilmaan mootichaatii fi warra wayyaa ormaa uffatan hunda nan adaba.
9 Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzalanga onse amene safuna kuponda pa chiwundo, amene amadzaza nyumba ya ambuye awo ndi chiwawa ndi chinyengo.
Ani gaafas warra buusaa irra utaalan, kanneen galma waaqota isaanii jeequmsaa fi gowwoomsaadhaan guutan nan adaba.”
10 “Pa tsiku limenelo,” akutero Yehova, “Kufuwula kwakukulu kudzamveka pa Chipata cha Nsomba, kulira kwa chisoni kuchokera mʼChigawo Chatsopano, ndi phokoso la kugumuka kochokera ku mapiri.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Gaafas Karra Qurxummii irraa iyya, Waltajjii Lammaffaa irraa wawwaannaa, gaarran irraa immoo sagalee diigama guddaatu dhagaʼama.
11 Lirani mwachisoni, inu amene mumakhala kumene kuli msika; a malonda anu onse adzapululidwa, ndiponso onse amene ali ndi siliva adzawonongedwa.
Isin warri Makteesh keessa jiraattan wawwaadhaa; daldaltoonni keessan hundi lafa irraa haxaaʼamu; warri meetii daldalan hundinuus ni barbadaaʼu.
12 Pa nthawi imeneyo ndidzafufuzafufuza mu Yerusalemu ndi nyale ndi kulanga onse amene sakulabadira, amene ali ngati vinyo wosakhutchumulidwa, amene amaganiza kuti, ‘Yehova sadzachita chilichonse, chabwino kaya choyipa.’
Ani yeroo sana Yerusaalemin ibsaadhaan nan sakattaʼa; warra qananiidhaan jiraatan, kanneen akka daadhii wayinii siicoo irratti hafee taʼan, kanneen, ‘Waaqayyo waan tolaas taʼu waan hamaa homaa hin godhu’ jedhanii yaadan nan adaba.
13 Chuma chawo chidzafunkhidwa, nyumba zawo zidzagwetsedwa. Adzamanga nyumba, koma osakhalamo; adzadzala minda ya mpesa koma sadzamwako vinyo wake.”
Qabeenyi isaanii ni saamama; manni isaanii ni ona. Isaan mana ijaarratu; garuu keessa hin jiraatan; isaan biqiltuu wayinii ni dhaabbatu; garuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugan.”
14 Tsiku lalikulu la Yehova layandikira, layandikira ndipo lifika msanga. Tamverani! Kulira kwa pa tsiku la Yehova kudzakhala kowawa, ngakhale munthu wolimba mtima adzalira kwambiri.
Guyyaan Waaqayyoo guddichi dhiʼaateera; dhiʼaatees dafee dhufaara. Dhagaʼaa! Iyyi guyyaa Waaqayyoo hadhaaʼaa dha; goonni achitti sagalee ol fudhatee iyya.
15 Tsiku limenelo lidzakhala la ukali, tsiku losautsa ndi lomvetsa chisoni, tsiku la mavuto ndi la chiwonongeko, tsiku la mdima ndi lachisoni, tsiku la mitambo ndi la mdima wandiweyani.
Guyyaan sun guyyaa dheekkamsaa, guyyaa dhiphinaa fi gaddaa, guyyaa rakkinaa fi badiisaa, guyyaa dukkanaa fi dimimmisaa, guyyaa duumessaa fi dukkana hamaa ni taʼa;
16 Tsiku loliza lipenga ndi la mfuwu wankhondo, tsiku la kugwa kwa mizinda yotetezedwa ndi nsanja za pa ngodya.
magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabanii fi gamoowwan ol dhedheeroo irratti guyyaa itti malakata afuufanii fi iyya waraanaa taʼa.
17 Ndidzabweretsa msautso pa anthu ndipo adzayenda ngati anthu osaona, chifukwa achimwira Yehova, magazi awo adzamwazika ngati fumbi ndi mnofu wawo ngati ndowe.
“Sababii isaan Waaqayyootti cubbuu hojjetaniif, ani akka isaan akkuma jaamotaatti deemaniif uummatatti dhiphina nan fida. Dhiigni isaanii akkuma awwaaraa, miʼi garaa isaaniis akkuma kosii gatama.
18 Ngakhale siliva wawo kapena golide wawo sadzatha kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova. Dziko lonse lapansi lidzanyeka mʼmoto wa nsanje yake chifukwa adzakantha modzidzimutsa onse okhala pa dziko lapansi.
Guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqayyootti meetiin isaanii yookaan warqeen isaanii isaan oolchuu hin dandaʼu.” Ibidda hinaaffaa isaatiin addunyaan hundi ni barbadoofti; warra lafa irra jiraatan hundatti inni badiisa tasaa ni fidaatii.
