Zephaniah 2
1 Come together, yes, gather together, you worthless nation—
Mutunfacl sumwekin, kom in asmakla
2 before the decree is issued, before you wither and die like a flower, before the burning anger of the Lord falls on you, before the day of the Lord's anger comes on you.
meet liki kom fah ukyukla oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla, meet liki kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fom oana firir lun e uh, meet liki len se El akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
3 Look to the Lord, all you people of the land who are humble and who follow his commands. Look to do what is right; look to live in humility. Perhaps you will be protected on the day of the Lord's anger.
Suk LEUM GOD, kowos mwet pusisel nukewa fin acn uh, su akos ma sap lal. Oru ma suwohs, ac akpusiselye kowos sifacna ye mutun LEUM GOD. Sahp kowos fah ku in kaingla liki kaiyuk in len se LEUM GOD El ac fah akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
4 Gaza will be abandoned, Ashkelon will become desolate, Ashdod will be emptied by noon, Ekron will be ripped up.
Wangin sie mwet ac fah lula in siti Gaza. Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet muta we. Mwet in Ashdod ac fah lisyukla ke tafun len na, ac mwet in Ekron ac fah ukohkyak liki siti selos.
5 What disaster is coming to you Philistines, you sea-people who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan! The Lord has passed judgment on you. I will destroy you—there will be no survivors.
Kowos mwet Philistia su muta weacn uh, kowos ac fah kunausyukla. LEUM GOD El orala tari nununku lal nu suwos. El ac kunauskowosla, ac tia sie suwos fah lula.
6 Your seacoast will become pastures, with meadows for shepherds and sheep pens for flocks.
Acn lowos sisken meoa uh ac fah mwesisla, ac lohm sin mwet shepherd ac kalkal in sheep fah oan we.
7 It will belong to those who remain of the people of Judah. They will graze their flocks there, and the shepherds will sleep in the abandoned houses of Ashkelon. For the Lord their God will be with them and make them prosperous again.
Mwet Judah su moulla ac fah utyak ac muta fin acn lowos. Elos ac fah orala acn uh nu ke nien mongo lun un kosro natulos, ac motul in lohm sin mwet Ashkelon. LEUM GOD lalos fah welulos ac sifilpa akkasrupyalos.
8 I have heard the mocking taunts of the Moabites and the scornful derision of the Ammonites who have insulted my people and made threats against their territory.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga lohng ke mwet Moab ac mwet Ammon elos fahk kas in akkolukye ac aksruksruki mwet luk, ac konkin mu elos ac eisla acn selos.
9 Consequently, as I live, declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the Moabites will become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah. Their land will become a place of weeds and salt pits and ruins forever. Those who remain of my people will plunder them and occupy their land.
In oana ke nga pa LEUM GOD moul, God lun Israel, nga fahkot na pwaye lah acn Moab ac Ammon ac fah kunausyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah. Elos ac fah ekla oana sie luf in sohl ac musalla nwe tok, ac mah uh ac fah kapak ac kupoiya acn uh. Mwet luk su moulla ac fah utyak ac usla ma lalos nukewa, ac eisla acn selos.”
10 This is what they will receive for their pride because they mocked and threatened the people of the Lord Almighty.
Pa ingan luman kaiyuk su ac fah orek nu sin mwet Moab ac Ammon ke sripen filang ac inse fulat lalos, ac ke sripen elos angon mwet lun LEUM GOD Kulana.
11 The Lord will make them terribly afraid as he starves to death all the gods of the land. Every nation will worship the Lord wherever they are—all around the world.
LEUM GOD El ac fah aklangingingyalos. El ac fah aksrikyela god lun faclu nwe ke na wanginla, na mutunfacl nukewa fah alu nu sel, kais sie in acn sel sifacna.
12 You Ethiopians will be killed by the sword.
LEUM GOD El fah oayapa uniya mwet Ethiopia.
13 The Lord will strike the Assyrians in the north and destroy them. He will make Nineveh desolate, a dry wasteland like the desert.
LEUM GOD ac fah orekmakin ku lal in kunausla Assyria. El fah oru tuh siti Nineveh in oana sie mahnum su wanginla mwet muta we, ac in oana sie acn mwesis wangin kof we.
14 Herds will lie down in the middle of the city. It will become the home for every kind of wild animal. Eagle owls and screech owls will roost on its columns. Their calls will echo through the windows. Rubble will block the doors, and the cedar woodwork will be exposed.
Ac fah sie acn in oan lun un sheep ac un cow ac kain in kosro nukewa. Owl fah muta inmasrlon acn musalla ac tung in winto ah me. Wa ac fah kaskas fin acn in utyak uh. Sak cedar ke lohm uh ac fah taktakla.
15 This is what will happen to this triumphant city that thought it was so secure. “Look at me!” it said proudly to itself. “There is no city as great as me!” But it has become a desolate place—just a home for wild animals. Everyone who passes by will point their finger and laugh in derision.
Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu ke siti se su arulana insefulatkin ku lal sifacna, ac nunku mu wangin ma ac aklokoalokyal. Mwet we nunku mu siti selos pa ku ac fulat oemeet fin faclu. Ac fuka lupan musallaiyen acn sac, ke ac fah ekla sie acn in mongla lun kosro lemnak. Mwet nukewa su fahsryak we ac fah sangeng ac kohloli liki acn we.
