Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the Lord, which came vnto Zephaniah ye sonne of Cushi, the sonne of Gedaliah, the sonne of Amariah, the sonne of Hizkiah, in the dayes of Iosiah, the sonne of Amon King of Iudah.
Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te vini a Sophonie, fis a Cuschi a, fis a Guedalia, fis a Amaria, fis a Ézéchias, nan tan Josias, fis a Amon an, wa a Juda a.
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
“Mwen va retire tout bagay nèt sou fas tè a”, deklare SENYÈ a.
3 I will destroy man and beast: I wil destroy the foules of the heauen, and the fishes of the sea, and ruines shalbe to the wicked, and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the Lord.
Mwen va retire ni lòm, ni bèt. Mwen va retire zwazo syèl yo ak pwason lanmè yo, ansanm ak pil fatra yo ak moun mechan yo. Mwen va koupe retire lòm soti sou fas tè a, deklare SENYÈ a.
4 I will also stretch out mine hand vpon Iudah, and vpon all the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and I wil cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with ye Priestes,
Konsa Mwen va lonje men M kont Juda e kont tout sila ki rete Jérusalem yo. Mwen va koupe retire retay a Baal la nan plas sa a ak non a tout prèt zidòl yo,
5 And them that worship the hoste of heauen vpon the house tops, and them that worship and sweare by the Lord, and sweare by Malcham,
sila ki adore sou twati kay, lame syèl yo, sila ki adore yo ki fè sèman pa SENYÈ a, e ki an menm tan, fè sèman pa Milcom,
6 And them that are turned backe from the Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.
sila ki te vire fè bak pou yo pa swiv SENYÈ yo, ak sila ki pa t ni chache ni mande pou SENYÈ a.”
7 Be stil at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, and hath sanctified his ghests.
Fè silans devan Senyè BONDYE a! Paske jou SENYÈ a pre rive. Paske Bondye te prepare yon sakrifis. Li te konsakre envite Li yo.
8 And it shalbe in the day of the Lords sacrifice, that I will visite the princes and the Kings children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparell.
Li va vin rive nan jou sakrifis SENYÈ a, ke mwen va pini prens yo, fis a wa yo, ak tout sila ki abiye ak vètman etranje yo.
9 In the same day also will I visite all those that dance vpon the threshold so proudly, which fill their masters houses by crueltie and deceite.
Mwen va pini nan jou sa a tout sila ki sote anlè papòt tanp yo, ki plen kay mèt yo ak vyolans ak desepsyon.
10 And in that day, saith the Lord, there shall be a noise, and cry from the fishgate, and an howling from the second gate, and a great destruction from the hilles.
Nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ a, va gen son a yon gwo kri soti nan Pòtay Pwason an, yon kri: “Anmwey” soti nan dezyèm katye a, ak yon gwo bri eklatman soti nan kolin yo.
11 Howle ye inhabitants of the lowe place: for the companie of the marchants is destroyed: all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
Rele “Anmwey!”, O nou menm k ap viv Macthesch. Paske tout pèp Canaran an va pe bouch yo nèt. Tout sila ki chaje avèk ajan yo va vin koupe retire nèt.
12 And at that time will I searche Ierusalem with lightes, and visite the men that are frosen in their dregges, and say in their heartes, The Lord will neither doe good nor doe euill.
Li va vin rive nan lè sa a ke Mwen va chache tout Jérusalem ak lanp, e mwen va pini moun ki deside sou sa yo fin bwe, k ap di nan kè yo: “SENYÈ a p ap fè byen, ni Li p ap fè mal!”
13 Therefore their goods shall be spoyled, and their houses waste: they shall also build houses, but not inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, but not drinke the wine thereof.
Konsa, richès yo va tounen piyaj e lakay yo va vin devaste. Wi, yo va bati kay, men yo p ap rete ladan yo. Yo va plante chan rezen, men yo p ap bwè diven yo.
14 The great day of the Lord is neere: it is neere, and hasteth greatly, euen the voyce of the day of the Lord: the strong man shall cry there bitterly.
Pre rive se gran jou SENYÈ a, pre rive, e l ap pwoche byen vit. Koute vwa a, jou a SENYÈ a! Nan jou sa a, gèrye a va kriye amè.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and heauinesse, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of obscuritie and darkenesse, a day of cloudes and blackenesse,
Jou sa a se yon jou kòlè ak chalè, yon jou gwo twoub ak rele anmwey, yon jou destriksyon ak dezolasyon, yon jou tenèb ak dekourajman, youn jou nwaj yo ak gwo fènwa a.
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
Yon jou twonpèt ak kri batay kont vil fòtifye yo, e kont gwo ranpa yo.
17 And I will bring distresse vpon men, that they shall walke like blind men, because they haue sinned against the Lord, and their blood shall be powred out as dust, and their flesh as the dongue.
Mwen va mennen gwo pwoblèm sou lezòm, pou yo vin mache tankou moun avèg, akoz yo te peche kont SENYÈ a. Konsa, san yo va vide tankou pousyè e chè yo kon fimye bèt.
18 Neither their siluer nor their golde shalbe able to deliuer them in ye day of the Lords wrath, but the whole lande shalbe deuoured by the fire of his ielousie: for hee shall make euen a speedie riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Ni ajan yo, ni lò yo p ap kapab delivre yo nan jou jijman an, men tout latè va vin devore nèt pa dife jalouzi Li. Paske Li va mete yon fen, yon fen ki tèrib, a tout moun ki rete sou tè a.
