Sophonias 1
1 The word of the Lord which came to Sophonias the son of Chusi, the son of Godolias, the son of Amorias, the son of Ezekias, in the days of Josias son of Amon, king of Juda.
Judah siangpahrang Amon e a capa Josiah ni a uk navah, Hezekiah, Amariah, Gedaliah tinaw e ca catoun lah kaawm e Kushi capa Zephaniah koe ka tho e Cathut e lawk teh,
2 Let there be an utter cutting off from the face of the land, saith the Lord.
ram dawk kaawm e naw abuemlah he ka raphoe han telah Cathut ni a dei.
3 Let man and cattle be cut off; let the birds of the air and the fishes of the sea be cut off; and the ungodly shall fail, and I will take away the transgressors from the face of the land, saith the Lord.
Tami hoi saringnaw pueng ka raphoe han, kahlun e tava hoi tui dawk e tanga pueng hai thoseh, Tami kahawihoeh hoi, hawihoehnae pueng hai raphoe lah ao han. Talaivan kaawm e tami puenghai raphoe lah ao han telah Cathut ni a ti.
4 And I will stretch out mine hand upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will remove the names of Baal out of this place, and the names of the priests;
Judah tami, Jerusalem kho e taminaw hah kai ni ka tuk vaiteh kacawirae Baal hnukkâbang e hoi vaihmanaw pueng hai ka raphoe han.
5 and them that worship the host of heaven upon the house-tops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king;
Kalvan e hnonaw hah lemphu hoi ka bawk e naw, cathut hoi Molek cathut lawkkam laihoi ka bawk e naw hai thoseh,
6 and them that turn aside from the Lord, and them that seek not the Lord, and them that cleave not to the Lord.
Cathut hnukkâbang laipalah hnuk kamlang e tami, Cathut tawng hoeh, ka pacei hoeh e taminaw puenghai ka raphoe han.
7 Fear ye before the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and has sanctified his guests.
Bawipa Jehovah e hmalah sairasuep lah awm awh haw, BAWIPA e hnin teh a hnai toe. BAWIPA ni amae thuengnae hah rakueng vaiteh hote pawi thung kâen e pueng teh thoungsak lah ao han.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will take vengeance on the princes, and on the king's house, and upon all that wear strange apparel.
BAWIPA e thuengnae hnin navah siangpahrangnaw, hoi a miphunnaw hoi ka talue lah kamthoupnaw pueng hah a rek han.
9 And I will openly take vengeance on the porches in that day, [on the men] that fill the house of the Lord their God with ungodliness and deceit.
Ayâ e im longkha ka tapuet ni teh ayâ ka hnephnap e, ayâ dumyen laihoi hmu e hnopai hoi a bawipa e im kakawi sak e tami puenghai hote hnin navah lawk ka ceng han.
10 And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the sound of a cry from the gate of men slaying, and a howling from the second [gate], and a great crashing from the hills.
BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, hote hnin navah tanga longkha koevah hramnae lawk thoseh, apâhni e khopui dawk khuikanae lawk thoseh, monrui dawk puenghoi raphoenae lawk thoseh ka thai.
11 Lament, ye that inhabit the [city] that has been broken down, for all the people has become like Chanaan; and all that were exalted by silver have been utterly destroyed.
Maktesh taminaw, khuikap awh haw. Hnopai kayawtnaw pueng teh awm hoeh toe. Tangka kasinnaw pueng teh koung a due awh toe.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will search Jerusalem with a candle, and will take vengeance on the men that despise the things committed to them; but they say in their hearts, The Lord will not do any good, neither will he do any evil.
Hatnae tueng nah, kai ni hmaiim ka sin vaiteh Jerusalem hah lawk ka ceng han. BAWIPA ni hawinae sak hoeh, yon hai na pen hoeh telah a pouk awh teh, amae thoe hoi hawi a sak awh e patetlah lawk a ceng han.
13 And their power shall be for a spoil, and their houses for utter desolation; and they shall build houses, but shall not dwell in them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine of them.
Ahnimae hno teh ayâ ni a lawp vaiteh, a onae hmuen dawk tami kingdi han. Im a sak awh han, hatei awm awh nah mahoeh. Misur a ung awh han, hatei misur net awh mahoeh.
14 For the great day of the Lord [is] near, [it is] near, and very speedy; the sound of the day of the Lord is made bitter and harsh.
BAWIPA e hnin pui teh a hnai toe. A hnai toe. Karang lah ka tho han BAWIPA e hnin kamthang teh hnâ dawkvah akha. hote hnin navah, athakaawme tami ni a hram han.
15 A mighty day of wrath is that day, a day of affliction and distress, a day of desolation and destruction, a day of gloominess and darkness, a day of cloud and vapour,
Hote hnin teh lungkhueknae hnin, lungpuen tâsuenae kâhmonae hnin, rawkphainae hnin, angnae a kahma teh hmonae hnin, khopâui teh tâmai muen a tabonae hnin,
16 a day of the trumpet and cry against the strong cities, and against the high towers.
Kacake khopui hoi karasang e imrasangnaw koe lah mongka kâhruetcuetnae ueng teh hramnae hnin lah ao han.
17 And I will greatly afflict the men, and they shall walk as blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord; therefore he shall pour out their blood as dust, and their flesh as dung.
Ahnimouh ni BAWIPA koe a yon awh dawkvah, kai ni ahnimouh ka rektap vaiteh tami a mit ka dawn e patetlah a cei awh han. Ahnimae a thi teh vaiphu patetlah rabawk awh vaiteh a moi hai ei patetlah a pouk awh han.
18 And their silver and their gold shall in nowise be able to rescue them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealously; for he will bring a speedy destruction on all them that inhabit the land.
BAWIPA e lungkhueknae hnin navah, ahnimae sui ngun ni hai rungngang thai awh mahoeh. A lungkhueknae hmai ni ram abuemlah a kak han. Khocanaw puenghai karanglah lawkceng vaiteh koung a pâmit han.
