Zefania 1
1 Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye mane obiro ne Zefania wuod Kushi, ma wuod Gedalia, ma wuod Amaria, ma wuod Hezekia e kinde loch Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda.
Awurade asɛm a ɛbaa Sefania a ɔyɛ Kusi ba, Gedalia ba, Amaria ba, Hesekia ba nkyɛn nie. Ɛbaa Yudahene Yosia a ɔyɛ Amon ba berɛ so.
2 “Abiro tieko gik moko duto mantie e piny mi lal nono,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“Mɛpra biribiara afiri asase so” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie,
3 “Abiro tieko dhano kaachiel gi le, bende abiro tieko winy mafuyo e kor polo, kaachiel gi rech manie nam. Jomaricho biro pie pidhe pidhe, e ndalo manatiek dhano e wangʼ piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“Mɛpra nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa; mɛpra nnomaa a wɔwɔ ewiem ne mpataa a wɔwɔ ɛpo mu nyinaa. Atirimuɔdenfoɔ bɛnya wira a ɛsum hɔ nko ara sɛ mesɛe adasamma a wɔwɔ asase yi so a,” deɛ Awurade seɛ nie.
4 “Abiro kumo jo-Juda kaachiel gi ji duto modak Jerusalem. Abiro tieko jo-Baal duto mane odongʼ ka, mi agol oko nying joma luwo nyiseche mopa kaachiel gi jodologi.
“Mɛtene me nsa wɔ Yuda ne wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem nyinaa so; na mɛsɛe Baal ho biribiara a aka wɔ ha, na masɛe abosonsomfoɔ ne abosomfoɔ asɔfoɔ no din
5 Bende abiro tieko ji duto makulore ewi tat udi kalamo chiengʼ, dwe gi sulwe. Ji duto makulore ka kwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, to bangʼe gikwongʼore gi nying Molek nyasach jo-Amon.
wɔn a wɔkoto sɔre wɔn adan atifi, de sɔre abɔdeɛ a ɛwɔ ewiem, wɔn a wɔkoto de Awurade ka ntam na wɔde Molek nso ka ntam,
6 Ji duto moseweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ok gimany Jehova Nyasaye kata mana penje wach.”
wɔn nso a wɔgyae Awurade akyiridie na wɔnhwehwɛ Awurade anaa wɔmmisa nʼase.”
7 Lingʼuru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto; nikech odiechiengʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni. Jehova Nyasaye oseloso misango, kendo osepwodho joma oseluongo.
Monyɛ komm wɔ Asafo Awurade anim, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ɛda no abɛn. Awurade asiesie afɔrebɔdeɛ; wadwira wɔn a wato nsa afrɛ wɔn no ho.
8 “E odiechiengʼ mitimoe misango mar Jehova Nyasaye abiro kumo joka ruoth, yawuot ruoth, kaachiel gi ji duto morwakore gi lewni mag jopinje mamoko.
“Awurade afɔrebɔ ɛda no, mɛtwe mmapɔmma ne ahenemma ne wɔn a wɔhyehyɛ ananafoɔ ntadeɛ nyinaa aso.
9 Chiengʼno, anakum ji duto mamiel e laru mar dino cham, kendo mapongʼo hekalu mar nyiseche manono gi timbe mahundu kod wuond.”
Saa ɛda no mɛtwe wɔn a wɔkwati aponnwa no nyinaa aso. Wɔn a wɔde akakabensɛm ne nsisie hyehyɛ wɔn abosomfie ma no.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Chiengʼno, ywak noywagre koa e rangach miluongo ni Dhoranga Rech, nduru noa e bath dala koma nyien, kendo koko nogore matek koa e gode.
“Saa ɛda no,” sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie, “Esu bɛfiri Mpataa Ɛpono ano, agyaadwotwa bɛfiri Atenaeɛ Foforɔ na nnyegyeeɛ a ano yɛ den afiri nkokoɔ no so aba.
11 Gouru nduru un joma odak e mier moluoro chiro, johala mau madongo duto ibiro yweyo oko, kendo ji duto maloko ohand pesa notiek pep.
Montwa adwo, mo a mote adetɔnbea hɔ no wɔbɛtɔre wɔn a mo ne wɔn di dwa ase, dwetɛ adwadifoɔ nyinaa nso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
12 E ndalono abiro menyo Jerusalem gi teche ka akumo joma odak kanyo madhi nyime gi timo timbe maricho, ma gin joma chalo mana gi divai mawach; ka giparo ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ok notim gimoro amora maber kata marach.’
Mede nkanea bɛkyini ahwehwɛ Yerusalem mu na matwe wɔn a wɔgyaagyaa wɔn ho aso, wɔn a wɔte sɛ bobesa puo no, a wɔdwene sɛ, ‘Awurade nnyɛ wɔn hwee sɛ ɛyɛ papa anaa bɔne.’
13 Mwandugi noyaki kendo utegi nomuki. Gibiro gero udi, to ok ginidagie, bende gibiro pitho puothe mzabibu to ok gini madh divai moa kuomgi.”
Wɔbɛfom wɔn ahonyadeɛ, na wɔabubu wɔn afie agu. Wɔbɛsisi afie, nanso wɔrentena mu wɔbɛyɛ bobe mfuo nanso wɔrennom emu nsã.”
14 “Odiechiengʼ maduongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni, adier ochiegni kendo obiro piyo. Chik iti! Ywagruok e odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye nobed malit, kendo jolweny bende nogo koko kanyo.
Awurade ɛda kɛseɛ no abɛn, abɛn na ɛreba ntɛm so. Tie! Osu a wɔbɛsu Awurade ɛda no bɛyɛ ya, ɔkofoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ nso nteamu bɛyɛ saa ara.
15 Odiechiengʼno nobed odiechieng mirima, enobed odiechieng mwodo lak kod rem malit, bende enobed odiechieng chandruok gi kethruok, enobed odiechiengʼ mopongʼ gi boche polo moimore, kendo odiechiengʼ mopongʼ gi rumbi kod mudho.
Saa ɛda no bɛyɛ abufuo ɛda, ɛyɛ ahoyera ne ɔyea ɛda; ɛyɛ amanehunu ne ɔsɛeɛ ɛda, ɛyɛ esum ne kusukuukuu ɛda ɛyɛ omununkum ne kusuuyɛ ɛda,
16 To bende enobed odiechieng turumbete kod sigich mar lweny nowinjre e mier madongo mochiel motegno, kod ute mabeyo mag rito dala.
ɛyɛ totorobɛnto hyɛn ne ɔko nteam a ɛtia nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ banbɔ ne ntwɛtwɛaso abantenten ɛda.
17 “Abiro kelo luoro kod achiedh-nade kuom oganda kendo gibiro wuotho mana ka muofni, nikech gisetimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Rembgi nochwer piny kendo nyimbiye igi nopukre oko ka ngʼwe.
“Mede awerɛhoɔ bɛba nnipa no so na wɔbɛnante sɛ anifirafoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ wɔayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Wɔbɛhwie wɔn mogya agu sɛ mfuturo, na wɔn ayamdeɛ nso sɛ atantanneɛ.
18 To kata mana fedha mathoth kod dhahabu ma gin-go ok noresgi, odiechiengʼ mar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye. Chiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye ngʼadoe bura, nyiego mager ma en-go nowangʼ piny duto, mitiek pep.” Kamano e kaka notiek gik moko duto modak e piny mana kadiemo wangʼ.
Wɔn dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ rentumi nnye wɔn nkwa wɔ Awurade abufuo ɛda no.” Ne ninkuntwe mu ogya no bɛhye ɔman no nyinaa, na ɔbɛma asase no so tefoɔ nyinaa nkwa aba awieeɛ mpofirim.
