Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves, gather together, O shameful nation,
Ku tattaru, ku tattaru, Ya ku al’umma marar kunya,
2 before the decree takes effect and the day passes like chaff, before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you, before the Day of the LORD’s anger comes upon you.
kafin ƙayyadadden lokacin nan yă zo ranan nan kuma ta share ku kamar ƙaiƙayi kuma kafin fushi mai tsanani na Ubangiji yă auko muku, kafin ranar fushin Ubangiji ta auko muku.
3 Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth who carry out His justice. Seek righteousness; seek humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.
Ku nemi Ubangiji, dukanku ƙasashe masu tawali’u, ku da kuke yin abin da ya umarta. Ku nemi adalci da tawali’u; mai yiwuwa ku sami mafaka a ranar fushin Ubangiji.
4 For Gaza will be abandoned, and Ashkelon left in ruins. Ashdod will be driven out at noon, and Ekron will be uprooted.
Za a yashe Gaza a kuma bar Ashkelon kango. Da tsakar rana Ashdod za tă zama babu kowa a kuma tumɓuke Ekron.
5 Woe to the dwellers of the seacoast, O nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines: “I will destroy you, and no one will be left.”
Taku ta ƙare ku da kuke zama a bakin teku, Ya ku mutanen Keretawa; maganar Ubangiji tana gāba da ke, Ya ke Kan’ana, ƙasar Filistiyawa. “Zan hallaka ki kuma babu abin da zai rage.”
6 So the seacoast will become a land of pastures, with wells for shepherds and folds for sheep.
Ƙasar da take a bakin teku, inda Keretawa suke zaune, za tă zama wurin da makiyaya da ta garken tumaki.
7 The coast will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; there they will find pasture. They will lie down in the evening among the houses of Ashkelon, for the LORD their God will attend to them and restore their captives.
Za tă zama mallakar raguwar gidan Yahuda; a can za su sami wurin kiwo. Da yamma za su kwanta a gidajen Ashkelon. Ubangiji Allahnsu zai lura da su; zai maido musu da martabarsu.
8 “I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted My people and threatened their borders.
“Na ji irin zagin da Mowab take yi, da kuma ba’ar Ammonawa, waɗanda suka zagi mutanena suna kuma yi barazana a kan ƙasarsu.
9 Therefore, as surely as I live,” declares the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, “surely Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah— a place of weeds and salt pits, a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of My people will plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.”
Saboda haka, muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, “tabbatacce Mowab za tă zama kamar Sodom, Ammonawa kuma kamar Gomorra, ƙasa mai ciyayi da rammukan gishiri, ƙasa marar amfani har abada. Raguwar mutanena za su washe su; waɗanda suka rage na al’ummata za su gāda ƙasarsu.”
10 This they shall have in return for their pride, for taunting and mocking the people of the LORD of Hosts.
Wannan ne zai zama sakamakon girmankansu, saboda zagi da kuma ba’ar da suka yi wa mutanen Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
11 The LORD will be terrifying to them when He starves all the gods of the earth. Then the nations of every shore will bow in worship to Him, each in its own place.
Ubangiji zai zama abin tsoro a gare su sa’ad da ya hallaka allolin ƙasar. Al’ummai a kowane bakin teku za su yi masa sujada, kowa a ƙasarsa.
12 “You too, O Cushites, will be slain by My sword.”
“Ku ma, ya Kushawa, za a kashe ku da takobina.”
13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as a desert.
Zai kuma miƙa hannunsa gāba da arewa yă kuma hallaka Assuriya, zai mai da Ninebe kango gaba ɗaya ta kuma zama busasshiya kamar hamada.
14 Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind. Both the desert owl and screech owl will roost atop her pillars. Their calls will sound from the window, but desolation will lie on the threshold, for He will expose the beams of cedar.
Garkuna za su kwanta a can, da kowace irin halitta, Mujiyar hamada da bushiya za su zauna a kan ginshiƙanta. Kukansu za tă ratsa tagogi, ɓuraguzai za su tare ƙofofin shiga, za a kware ginshiƙan al’ul.
15 This carefree city that dwells securely, that thinks to herself: “I am it, and there is none besides me,” what a ruin she has become, a resting place for beasts. Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
Birnin da yake harka ke nan da take zaune lafiya. Ta ce wa kanta, “Ni ce, kuma babu kamata.” Dubi irin kangon da ta zama mana, mazaunin namun jeji! Duk wanda ya wuce ta sai ya yi mata tsaki yana kaɗa kai.
