Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Niheo amy Tsefanià ana’ i Kosý ana’ i Gedalià ana’ i Amarià, ana’ i Kizkià faha’ Iosià ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehoda ty tsara’ Iehovà:
2 While gathering, I will gather together all things from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
Toe ho faopaoheko ami’ty tarehe’ ty tane toy ze he’e, hoe t’Iehovà.
3 I will gather man and cattle; I will gather the flying things of the air and the fish of the sea. And the impious will be a catastrophe. And I will disperse men before the face of the earth, says the Lord.
Ho mongoreko ondatio naho o bibio; ho fongoreko o voron-dindìñeo, naho o fian-driakeo, naho o vato mahatsikapio mindre amo lo-tserekeo; vaho haitoako an-tane atoy ondatio, hoe t’Iehovà.
4 And I will extend my hand over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will disperse from this place the remnant of Baal, and the names of the administrators along with the priests,
Hatora-kitsiko ty tañako, am’ Iehoda naho amo hene ondaty e Ierosalaimeo; le haitoako ami’ty toetse toy ty sisa’ i Baale, naho ty tahina’ o mpisorom- pahasiveo rekets’ o mpisoro’eo;
5 and those who adore the military campaign over the ceiling of the sky, both those who adore and swear by the Lord, and those who swear by Melchom,
o mitalaho amy fifamorohotan-dindiñey an-tafo’eoo; o mitalaho naho mifanta am’ Iehovà vaho mifanta amy Malkameo;
6 both those who turn aside from following after the Lord, and those who have not sought the Lord, nor inquired about him.
o mitolike tsy mañorike Iehovào; naho o tsy mipay Iehovà vaho tsy mihalaly ama’eo.
7 Be silent before the face of the Lord God. For the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared a victim, he has sanctified those he has called.
Mianjiña am-piatrefa’ Iehovà, Talè; fa antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà, fa nihentseñe fisoroñañe jabajaba t’Iehovà, vaho hene tinendre’e o hambarà’eo.
8 And this shall be: in the day of the victim of the Lord, I will visit upon the leaders, and upon the sons of the king, and upon all who have been clothed with strange garments.
Aa ie tondroke ty androm-pisoroña’ Iehovà, le ho liloveko o roandriañeo, naho o ana-donakeo, vaho ze ondaty misikin-damban’ambahiny iaby.
9 And I will visit upon all who enter arrogantly over the threshold in that day, those who fill the house of the Lord their God with iniquity and deceit.
Amy andro zay ka, le ho fonga lafaeko o mitsamboan-tokonañe naho mampikobake ty anjomban- talè’e am-pikatramoañe vaho am-pamañahiañeo.
10 And this shall be in that day, says the Lord: the voice of an outcry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great contrition from the hills.
Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà: Inay ty kaikaike boak’an-dalam-beim-pìañe ao, naho ty fangololoihañe amy efetse faharoey; vaho fandrihindrihiñañe am-bohitse ey.
11 Howl, inhabitants of the Pillar. All the people of Canaan have fallen silent. All were ruined who had been wrapped in silver.
Mangoihoìa ry mpimone’ i Maktese, fa mibalake iaby o mpanao balikeo, fa naito iaby o niragorago volafotio.
12 And this shall be in that time: I will scrutinize Jerusalem with lamps, and I will visit upon the men who have become stuck in the dregs, who say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, and he will not do evil.”
Ie amy andro zay, le ho kodebèko am-pailo t’Ierosalaime; le ho liloveko ondaty miagarègañeo, ie manao ty hoe: Tsy hanao soa t’Iehovà, mbore tsy hanao raty.
13 And their strength will be in plundering, and their houses in the desert. And they will build houses and not dwell in them, and they will plant vineyards and not drink their wine.
Le ho kopaheñe o vara’eo, naho hangoakoake o akiba’eo; eka, handrafetse anjomba iereo fe tsy himoneña’e, hambole tanem-bahe f’ie tsy hinoñe amy divai’e.
14 The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and exceedingly swift. The voice of the day of the Lord is bitter; the strong will be tested there.
Toe an-titotse ty andro ra’elahi’ Iehovà, mitotoke vaho mihitrike, ty feo mafaitse ty andro’ Iehovà, ty hampangoihoy i fanalolahiy.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and anguish, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and whirlwinds,
Andron-kaviñerañe i andro zay, andro kankàñe naho faloviloviañe, andro famaopaohañe naho fampikoahañe, andron-kamoromoroñañe naho migoboñe, andro milodolodo vaho ieñe mangeoñe,
16 a day of the trumpet and the trumpet blast over fortified cities and over exalted ramparts.
Andro’ i antsivay naho ty hazolava, amo rova fatratseo naho amo fijilovañ’ aboo.
17 And I will trouble men, and they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord. And their blood will be poured out like soil, and their bodies like manure.
Hampalovilovieko ondatio, hijimenjimeña’e hoe goa, amy te nandilatse am’ Iehovà; hikararàke hoe deboke ty lio’ iareo, naho hoe forompotse o nofo’eo.
18 Neither their silver, nor their gold, will be able to free them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. All the land will be devoured in the fire of his zeal, for with all speed, he will bring to consummation every inhabitant of the land.
Tsy haharombake iareo ty volafoti’ iareo ndra ty volamena, amy andron-kaviñera’ Iehovày, fonga ho forototoe’ ty afom-pamarahia’e ty tane toy; toe hampijadoñe’e figadoñañe, eka, figadoñan-kankàñe, amo mpimoneñe an-tane atoio.
