Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Sophonias the son of Chusi, the son of Godolias, the son of Amarias, the son of Ezechias, in the days of Josias the son of Amon king of Juda.
Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Zefania, zanak’ i Kosy, zanak’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Amaria, zanak’ i Hezekia, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Josia, zanak’ i Amona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 Gathering, I will gather together all things from off the face of the land, saith the Lord:
Hakifako tokoa ny zavatra rehetra tsy ho eny ambonin’ ny tany, hoy Jehovah;
3 I will gather man, and beast, I will gather the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea: and the ungodly shall meet with ruin: and I will destroy men from off the face of the land, saith the Lord.
Eny, hakifako ny olona sy ny biby; Hakifako ny vorona eny amin’ ny habakabaka sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina. Ary ny zavatra mahatafintohina mbamin’ ny ratsy fanahy, Haringako tsy ho amin’ ny tany ny olona, hoy Jehovah.
4 And I will stretch out my hand upon Juda, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and I will destroy out of this place the remnant of Baal, and the names of the wardens of the temples with the priests:
Ary hahinjitro ny tanako hamely ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema; Dia haringako tsy ho eo amin’ ity tany ity ny sisa amin’ i Bala, Sy ny anaran’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy mbamin’ ny tena mpisorona,
5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the tops of houses, and them that adore, and swear by the Lord, and swear by Melchom.
Sy izay mivavaka any an-tampon-trano amin’ izay eny amin’ ny lanitra, Ary izay miankohoka sy mianiana ho an’ i Jehovah Sady mianiana amin’ i Malkama,
6 And them that turn away from following after the Lord, and that have not sought the Lord, nor searched after him.
Ary izay nihemotra niala tamin’ i Jehovah, Sy izay tsy nitady an’ i Jehovah na nanontany taminy.
7 Be silent before the face of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near, for the Lord hath prepared a victim, he hath sanctified his guests.
Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Tompo! Fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah; Fa Jehovah efa niomana hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra Ka efa nanamasina ny olona nasainy.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the victim of the Lord, that I will visit upon the princes, and upon the king’s sons, and upon all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro hamonoan’ i Jehovah zavatra hatao fanatitra, Dia hovaliako ny lehibe sy ny zanak’ andriana Mbamin’ izay rehetra mitafy ny fitafin’ ny firenena hafa.
9 And I will visit in that day upon every one that entereth arrogantly over the threshold: them that fill the house of the Lord their God with iniquity and deceit.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hovaliako izay rehetra miezaka mihoatra ny tokonana, Dia ireo mameno loza sy fitaka ny tranon’ ny tompony.
10 And there shall be in that day, saith the Lord, the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great destruction from the hills.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Dia hisy feo re mitaraina any am-bavahadin-kazandrano, Sy fidradradradrana ao amin’ ny tanàna ambany, Ary fidarabohana miezinezina any amin’ ny havoana.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of the Morter. All the people of Chanaan is hush, all are cut off that were wrapped up in silver.
Midradradradrà, ianareo mponina ao Maktesy; Fa ringana avokoa ny mpandranto rehetra, Eny, lany ringana izay rehetra nivesatra volafotsy.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and will visit upon the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their hearts: The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotsiloviko amin’ ny jiro Jerosalema, Ka hovaliako ny olona izay efa lefy ao amin’ ny faikany, Dia izay manao anakampo hoe: Sady tsy hanao soa Jehovah no tsy hanao ratsy.
13 And their strength shall become a booty, and their houses as a desert: and they shall build houses, and shall not dwell in them: and they shall plant vineyards, and shall not drink the wine of them.
Ka dia ho tonga babo ny fananan’ ireny, Ary ho lao ny tranony; Dia hanao trano izy, nefa tsy hitoetra ao, Hamboly voaloboka izy, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.
14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and exceeding swift: the voice of the day of the Lord is bitter, the mighty man shall there meet with tribulation.
Efa antomotra ny andro lehiben’ i Jehovah; Eny, efa antomotra sady mihafaingana indrindra, Injay! feon’ ny andron’ i Jehovah! Ny lehilahy mahery dia mitomany mafy any.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and distress, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and whirlwinds,
Andro fahatezerana izany andro izany, Andro fahoriana sy fahalahelovana, Andro fandravana sy fanafoanana, Andro maizina sy manjombona, Andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito.
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high bulwarks.
Andro fahaveloman’ ny anjomara sy ny akora, Hamelezana ny tanàna mimanda sy ny tilikambo avo eny amin’ ny zorony.
17 And I will distress men, and they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as earth, and their bodies as dung.
Ary hampahory ny olona Aho, Handehanany toy ny jamba, Satria efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah izy; Ny ràny dia haidina toy ny vovoka, Ary ny nofony ho toy ny zezika.
18 Neither shall their silver and their gold be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: all the land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy, for he shall make even a speedy destruction of all them that dwell in the land.
Na ny volafotsiny na ny volamenany dia samy tsy hahavonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Fa holevonin’ ny afon’ ny fahasaro-piarony ny tany rehetra; Fa fahafonganana, eny, fahafonganana tampoka tokoa no hataony amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany.
