Sophonias 2
1 Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
Yaye un oganda maonge wichkuotni, chokreuru kaachiel, chokreuru kaachiel,
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.
ka ndalo moseyier pok ochopo en odiechiengʼ ma ibiro teroue kuma bor ka mihudhwe mar cham. Adier, chokreuru kapok mirima mager mar Jehova Nyasaye obiro kuomu, kata kapok odiechiengʼ mar mirimbe ochopo.
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.
Dwaruru Jehova Nyasaye, un ji duto mobolore manie piny, kendo un ji duto matimo gik ma chik dwaro. Dwaruru tim makare, kendo beduru gi chuny mobolore, nimar dipo ka uyudo kar konyruok, odiechiengno ma Jehova Nyasaye biro olo mirimbe kuom ji.
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.
Ji biro dar Gaza, kendo Ashkelon biro dongʼ gunda. Odiechiengʼ tir Ashdod ibiro weyo nono kendo Ekron ibiro pudh gi tiende.
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.
Yaye jo-Kereth modak e dho nam, mano kaka unune malit, yaye Kanaan, piny jo-Filistia, Jehova Nyasaye nikodu gi wach kama: “Abiro tieko chuth kendo onge ngʼama nodongʼ.”
6 And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
Piny mantiere e dho nam kama jo-Kereth odakie biro bedo kar jokwath kendo kama ogerie abich rombe.
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.
Nobedi mar joma odongʼ mar dhood Juda; kanyo gini yudie lek ma gikwae. Godhiambo gibiro nindo e ute mag Ashkelon. Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi biro ritogi kendo obiro dwokonegi gweth mane ogwedhogigo.
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.
“Asewinjo ayenje mag jo-Moab kod ajara mag jo-Amon, moseyanyo joga kendo obwogogi e lopgi.”
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.
Kuom mano, Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel osingore kawacho kama, “Adiera, Moab biro chalo gi Sodom, to jo-Amon kaka Gomora, piny modongʼ gunda mojwangʼ motimo bunge. Joga modongʼ noyakgi; kendo oganda modongʼ nokaw pinygi.”
10 This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
Ma e kum ma jogi nonwangʼ kuom sunga margi, kendo kuom yanyo kendo jaro jo-Jehova Nyasaye Maratego.
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.
Jehova Nyasaye biro bedo nigi malich ka oketho nyiseche duto e piny. Ogendini duto modak e alwora mar dho nembe duto nolame, ngʼato ka ngʼato nolame e pinygi owuon.
12 You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
“Yaye jo-Kush, un bende liganglana biro negou.”
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.
Enorie bade kuomu un joma odak yo nyandwat, kendo notiek Asuria, bende dala mar Nineve nodongʼ gunda mi nobed motwo ka piny motimo ongoro.
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.
Kweth mag jamni biro nindo piny motimo kanyo, kod kit chwech mopogore opogore. Tula mar thim kod agak nobed gi nyasi. Ywakgi nowinjre ka wuok gie dirisni, kite moger godo udi nomukre mabiwre e dhoudi, kendo sirni nodongʼ kongʼiengore.
Ma e dala maduongʼ mane odak gi kwe, kendo kogalore. Ne owacho e chunye niya, “An e kende kendo onge ngʼama ipimo koda.” To mano kaka koro odongʼ gunda, kama le mag bungu yweyoe. Ji duto makadho bute wuoro ka tangʼo lwetgi.
