Sophonias 2
1 Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
Coi uh laeh, a hue a bawt pah namtom te coi uh laeh.
2 before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
Oltlueh a cun hlan ah cangkik bangla khohnin loh khum. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa loh nang soah a pai hlan ah pawt nim, BOEIPA kah thintoek hnin loh nang soah a pai hlan ah pawt nim.
3 Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgement, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
A laitloeknah aka vai diklai kah kodo boeih loh BOEIPA te tlap uh laeh. Duengnah te tlap uh. Kodonah te tlap uh. BOEIPA kah thintoek hnin ah na thuh uh thai khaming.
4 For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
Gaza a hnoo tih Ashkelon he khopong la om ni. Ashdod te khothun ah a haek uh vetih Ekron te a haih ni.
5 Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbours of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
Anunae, tuipuei langdai kah khosa namtom Kerethi aih. BOEIPA ol he Philisti kho kah Kanaan nang taengah om coeng. Te dongah khosak a tal hil nang kam milh sak ni.
6 And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
Tuipuei rhi kah rhamtlim te boiva aka dawn kah impoem neh boiva kah tanglung la poeh ni.
7 And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
Te khuikah te Judah imkhui kah a meet ham khoyo la om ni. Ashkelon im ah luem uh vetih hlaem ah kol uh ni. Amih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a hip vetih amih kah thongtla, thongtla te a mael puei ni.
8 I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
Moab kah kokhahnah neh Ammon ca rhoek kah honah te ka yaak coeng. Amih loh ka pilnam te a veet uh tih amamih khorhi ah pantai uh.
9 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
Te dongah kai tah hingnah ni tila Israel kah Pathen caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng. Moab ngawn tah Sodom bangla, Ammon ca rhoek khaw Gomorrah bangla om ni. Lota cuk, lungkaeh pup neh kumhal kah khopong la om ni. Ka pilnam kah a meet loh amih te a poelyoe uh vetih kamah namtu, namtu kah a noi long tah amih te a pang uh ni.
10 This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
Caempuei BOEIPA kah pilnam te a veet uh tih a cangdoek uh dongah amih kah hoemdamnah yueng la amih ham he ni a om.
11 The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
Diklai pathen boeih te a yawih sak vaengah BOEIPA tah amih taengah a rhih om pai. Te dongah te hmuen kah hlang neh namtom sanglak boeih loh amah te a bawk uh ni.
12 You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
Kushi nang khaw ka cunghang dongkah a rhok rhoek ni.
13 And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
A kut te tlangpuei la a thueng vetih Assyria te a milh sak ni. Te vaengah Nineveh te khopong rhamrhae neh khosoek la a khueh ni.
14 And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
A laklung ah tuping neh, namtom kah a hingnah boeih khaw, khosoek saelbu khaw kol ni. Kharhoeng te a rhaimuem dongah rhaeh vetih bangbuet lamloh a ol cai ni. Cingkhaa dongkah lamphai thingpang ngawn tah kholing ah a yaal ni.
Khopuei he yalpo tih ngaikhuek la kho aka sa loh a thinko neh, “Kai phoeiah lungli lungla a tloe om a?,” a ti. Balae tih a kolhmuen te imsuep la a poeh. Mulhing boeih loh te longah a pah vaengah kutving neh a kut la a khong thil mai.
