Zephaniah 1
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
O KA olelo a Iehova, ka mea i hiki mai io Zepania la i ke keiki a Kusi, ke keiki a Gedalia, ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Hizekia, i na la o Iosia ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda.
2 “I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,”
E lawe loa aku auanei au i na mea a pau mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
3 “I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and the idols with their wicked worshipers. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,”
E lawe auanei au i na kanaka a me na holoholona; E lawe auanei au i na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea e hina ai, me ka poe hewa; A e hooki iho hoi au i na kanaka mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
4 “I will stretch out My hand against Judah and against all who dwell in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the idolatrous and pagan priests—
E kau aku hoi au i kuu lima maluna o ka Iuda, A me na kanaka a pau o Ierusalema: A e hooki iho au i ke koena o ko Baala, mai keia wahi aku, A me ka inoa o na mea hoomanakii a me na kahuna hoi;
5 those who bow on the rooftops to worship the host of heaven, those who bow down and swear by the LORD but also swear by Milcom,
A me ka poe hoomana i ka puali o ka lani maluna o na hale; A me ka poe hoomana, a hoohiki hoi ma Iehova, A me ka hoohiki ma Malekama;
6 and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”
A me ka poe i hoi ihope mai o Iehova aku; A me ka poe aole i imi ia Iehova, aole hoi i ninau aku nona.
7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD, for the Day of the LORD is near. Indeed, the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated His guests.
E hamau oe ma ke alo o Iehova ka Haku: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ka la o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau mai la o Iehova i ka mohai, A ua hoolaa iho la oia i kona poe hoaai.
8 “On the Day of the LORD’s sacrifice I will punish the princes, the sons of the king, and all who are dressed in foreign apparel.
A i ka la o ko Iehova mohai ana, E hoopai auanei au i na alii a me na keiki a ke alii, A me ka poe a pau i aahuia i na kapa e.
9 On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
Ia la no, e hoopai au i ka poe a pau e lele ana maluna o ka paepae puka, A e hoopiha i ka hale o ko lakou haku i na mea i hao wale ia a me ka hoopunipuni.
10 On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
A ia la no, wahi a Iehova, He leo no ka uwe ana mai ka puka-ia mai, A he aoa ana mai ka apana alua mai, A me ka luku nui ana mai na puu mai.
11 Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
E kanikau oukou, e na kanaka o Maketesa; No ka mea, ua hookiia ae na kanaka kuai a pau; O ka poe a pau i kaumaha i ke kala, ua okiia.
12 And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
Ia manawa no, e huli iho no wau ia Ierusalema me na kukui, A e hoopai i ka poe e noho paakiki ana maluna o ko lakou maku; E olelo ana iloko o ko lakou naau, Aole e hana mai ana o Iehova i ka maikai, aole hoi e hana ia i ka ino.
13 Their wealth will be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
Nolaila, e lilo auanei ko lakou waiwai i pio, A me na hale o lakou i neoneo: E kapili lakou i na hale, aole hoi e noho iloko; E kanu lakou i na malawaina, aole hoi e inu i ka waina olaila.
14 The great Day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter.
Ua kokoke mai ka la nui o Iehova, ua kokoke mai, A e wikiwiki loa mai ana ka leo no ka la o Iehova: Ilaila e uwe nui ai ke kanaka ikaika.
15 That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
He la no ka inaina ua la la, He la popilikia a me ka poino, He la e hao wale ia'i a me ka hooneoneo, He la pouli wale a me ka poeleele, He la e uhi mai ai na ao a me ka pouli paapu,
16 a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
He la o ka pu kani a me ka hookani ana, E ku e i na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na halekiai kiekie.
17 I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
A e hoopilikia no wau i na kanaka, I hele ai lakou e like me na makapo, No ka mea, ua hana hewa aku lakou ia Iehova; A e nininiia aku ko lakou koko e like me ka lepo, A o ko lakou io e like me ka opala.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
Aole hoi e hiki i ka lakou kala, Aole hoi i ka lakou gula ke hoopakele ia lakou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina; Aka, e pau auanei ka aina a pau i ke ahi o kona lili ana; No ka mea e hoopau koke ana oia i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
