< 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.
O KA olelo a Iehova, ka mea i hiki mai io Zepania la i ke keiki a Kusi, ke keiki a Gedalia, ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Hizekia, i na la o Iosia ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda.
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
E lawe loa aku auanei au i na mea a pau mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
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.
E lawe auanei au i na kanaka a me na holoholona; E lawe auanei au i na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea e hina ai, me ka poe hewa; A e hooki iho hoi au i na kanaka mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
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,
E kau aku hoi au i kuu lima maluna o ka Iuda, A me na kanaka a pau o Ierusalema: A e hooki iho au i ke koena o ko Baala, mai keia wahi aku, A me ka inoa o na mea hoomanakii a me na kahuna hoi;
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,
A me ka poe hoomana i ka puali o ka lani maluna o na hale; A me ka poe hoomana, a hoohiki hoi ma Iehova, A me ka hoohiki ma Malekama;
6 And them that are turned backe from the Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.
A me ka poe i hoi ihope mai o Iehova aku; A me ka poe aole i imi ia Iehova, aole hoi i ninau aku nona.
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.
E hamau oe ma ke alo o Iehova ka Haku: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ka la o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau mai la o Iehova i ka mohai, A ua hoolaa iho la oia i kona poe hoaai.
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.
A i ka la o ko Iehova mohai ana, E hoopai auanei au i na alii a me na keiki a ke alii, A me ka poe a pau i aahuia i na kapa e.
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.
Ia la no, e hoopai au i ka poe a pau e lele ana maluna o ka paepae puka, A e hoopiha i ka hale o ko lakou haku i na mea i hao wale ia a me ka hoopunipuni.
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.
A ia la no, wahi a Iehova, He leo no ka uwe ana mai ka puka-ia mai, A he aoa ana mai ka apana alua mai, A me ka luku nui ana mai na puu mai.
11 Howle ye inhabitants of the lowe place: for the companie of the marchants is destroyed: all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
E kanikau oukou, e na kanaka o Maketesa; No ka mea, ua hookiia ae na kanaka kuai a pau; O ka poe a pau i kaumaha i ke kala, ua okiia.
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.
Ia manawa no, e huli iho no wau ia Ierusalema me na kukui, A e hoopai i ka poe e noho paakiki ana maluna o ko lakou maku; E olelo ana iloko o ko lakou naau, Aole e hana mai ana o Iehova i ka maikai, aole hoi e hana ia i ka ino.
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.
Nolaila, e lilo auanei ko lakou waiwai i pio, A me na hale o lakou i neoneo: E kapili lakou i na hale, aole hoi e noho iloko; E kanu lakou i na malawaina, aole hoi e inu i ka waina olaila.
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.
Ua kokoke mai ka la nui o Iehova, ua kokoke mai, A e wikiwiki loa mai ana ka leo no ka la o Iehova: Ilaila e uwe nui ai ke kanaka ikaika.
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,
He la no ka inaina ua la la, He la popilikia a me ka poino, He la e hao wale ia'i a me ka hooneoneo, He la pouli wale a me ka poeleele, He la e uhi mai ai na ao a me ka pouli paapu,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
He la o ka pu kani a me ka hookani ana, E ku e i na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na halekiai kiekie.
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.
A e hoopilikia no wau i na kanaka, I hele ai lakou e like me na makapo, No ka mea, ua hana hewa aku lakou ia Iehova; A e nininiia aku ko lakou koko e like me ka lepo, A o ko lakou io e like me ka opala.
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.
Aole hoi e hiki i ka lakou kala, Aole hoi i ka lakou gula ke hoopakele ia lakou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina; Aka, e pau auanei ka aina a pau i ke ahi o kona lili ana; No ka mea e hoopau koke ana oia i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
