< 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:
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.)
2 “I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,”
Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Na da osobo bagadega esalebe liligi huluane gugunufinisisimu.
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,”
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.
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—
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.
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,
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.
6 and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
9 On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
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.
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.
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.
11 Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
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.
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.’
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
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,
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.
16 a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
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.
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.
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.”
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.
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.
