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 capa Josiah siangpahrang ah oh naah, Hezekiah capa Amariah, Amariah capa Gedaliah, Gedaliah capa Kushi, Kushi capa Zephaniah khaeah Angraeng ih lok angzoh.
2 Let there be an utter cutting off from the face of the land, says the Lord.
Prae thung ih hmuennawk to kam rosak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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, says the Lord.
Kami hoi moinawk doeh ka paduek boih han; van ih tavaanawk hoi tuipui thung ih tanganawk boih, kahoih ai kaminawk hoi amtimsak kami to kam rosak han, prae kaminawk to kam rosak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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 hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah ban ka phok han; Baal kabok anghmat kaminawk, hae ahmuen hoiah krang bok zaehoikungnawk ih ahmin hoi Sithaw panoek ai kami zaehoikungnawk ih ahmin to ka phraek boih han;
5 and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king;
imphu ah van cakaeh bok kaminawk, Angraeng ih ahmin hoi kasae lokkamhaih sah kaminawk, Malkham hoi kasae lokkamhaih sah kaminawk;
6 and them that turn aside from the Lord, and them that seek not the Lord, and them that cleave not to the Lord.
Angraeng khae hoi amlaem let kaminawk, Angraeng pakrong ai, anih khae lokdueng ai kaminawk to ka kam rosak boih han.
7 Fear you before the Lord God; for the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared his sacrifice, and has sanctified his guests.
Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah anghngai o duem ah; Angraeng ih ni loe anghnai boeh: Angraeng mah hmuen tathlanghaih to sak boeh moe, angmah ih angvinawk to a kawk boeh.
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.
Angraeng ih hmuen tathlanghaih niah, ukkung angraengnawk, siangpahrang caanawk, kalah khukbuen angkhuk kaminawk to dan ka paek boih 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.
To na niah khongkha ranui ah angphet tahang kaminawk, angmacae angraeng ih im ah tha patoh moe, alinghaih hoi toksah kaminawk to dan ka paek han.
10 And there shall be in that day, says 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.
To na niah loe, Tanga khongkha hoiah qahhaih lok, ohhaih ahmuen hnetto haih hoiah kana hanghaih lok, mae nui hoiah atuen kalen parai kamtimh atuen to om tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
11 Lament, you 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.
Hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk, qah oh; hmuenmae zaw kaminawk loe anghmat o boih boeh; sum kanglung hoi hmuenmae zaw kaminawk doeh anghmat o boih boeh.
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.
To naah Jerusalem to hmaithawk hmai hoiah ka pakrong han; Angraeng loe kahoih hmuen doeh, kahoih ai hmuen doeh sah mak ai, tiah palung thung hoi poek kaminawk to ka thuitaek 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.
To pongah nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk to lomh pae o tih, imnawk doeh phrae pae o tih: nihcae loe im sah o tih, toe im to om o haih mak ai; nihcae mah misur takha sah o tih, toe misurtui to nae o mak ai.
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.
Angraeng ih ni kalen loe zoi boeh; zoi daek boeh, karangah angzo tih boeh, Angraeng niah hang ih lok loe paroeai zitthok tih: to ah thacak kaminawk hanghaih lok to om tih.
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,
To ani loe palungphuihaih ni, raihaih hoi poek anghmang suthaih ni, amrohaih hoi anghmathaih ni, vinghaih hoi poekhaih kamtueng ai ani, tamai tabokhaih ni hoi kathah khovinghaih niah om ueloe,
16 a day of the trumpet and cry against the strong cities, and against the high towers.
mongkah to uengh moe, pakaahaih tapang kaom vangpuinawk hoi imsangnawk to tuk hanah, acoe paekhaih niah om tih.
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.
Kaminawk nuiah palungboenghaih ka phaksak han, nihcae loe Angraeng nuiah zae o boeh pongah, mikmaeng baktiah amhet o tih; nihcae ih athii loe maiphu baktih, nihcae ih ngan doeh tamlok baktiah krai o tih.
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.
Angraeng palungphuihaih niah loe, nihcae ih sum kanglung hoi suinawk mah nihcae to pahlong thai mak ai: anih palungphuihaih hmai mah prae to kangh boih tih, prae thung kaom kaminawk to karangah anghmathaih phasak boih tih.
