Zephaniah 2
1 Gather your selues, euen gather you, O nation not worthie to be loued,
Bann san wont! Pran tèt nou. Kalkile byen,
2 Before the decree come foorth, and ye be as chaffe that passeth in a day, and before the fierce wrath of the Lord come vpon you, and before the day of the Lords anger come vpon you.
anvan nou pase tankou pay van pote ale yon sèl jou, anvan dife kòlè Seyè a tonbe sou nou, anvan jou kòlè Seyè a rive sou nou.
3 Seeke yee the Lord all the meeke of the earth, which haue wrought his iudgement: seeke righteousnesse, seeke lowlinesse, if so bee that ye may be hid in the day of the Lords wrath.
Nou menm, pòv malere nan peyi a k'ap fè sa Seyè a bay lòd fè a, vin jwenn li. Fè sa ki dwat devan li. Pa kite lògèy vire tèt nou. Nou pa janm konnen, nou ka chape jou Seyè a va fè wè kòlè li.
4 For Azzah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate: they shall driue out Ashdod at the noone day, and Ekron shalbe rooted vp.
p'ap rete yon moun lavil Gaza. Lavil Askalon ap tounen yon dezè. Gwo midi, y'ap mete tout moun Asdòd yo deyò. Y'ap depòte tout moun Ekwon yo.
5 Wo vnto the inhabitants of the sea coast. the nation of the Cherethims, the worde of the Lord is against you: O Canaan, the lande of the Philistims, I will euen destroye thee without an inhabitant.
Madichon pou moun peyi Filisti yo ki rete tout bò lanmè a! Seyè a ban nou santans nou, nou menm moun Filisti ki rete nan peyi Kanaran an. L'ap detwi nou nèt, li p'ap kite yon moun nan peyi a.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cotages for shepheardes and sheepefoldes.
Tout bò lanmè a pral tounen savann kote gadò mouton va mennen bèt yo vin manje.
7 And that coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Iudah, to feede thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lodge toward night: for the Lord their God shall visite them, and turne away their captiuitie.
Ti ponyen moun ki va rete nan fanmi Jida a va gen tout bò lanmè a pou yo. Se la y'a mennen mouton yo al manje. Nan aswè, y'av al dòmi nan kay lavil Askalon yo. Seyè a, Bondye yo a, va fè kichòy pou yo. L'a fè yo leve tèt yo ankò.
8 I haue heard the reproch of Moab, and the rebukes of the children of Ammon, whereby they vpbraided my people, and magnified themselues against their borders.
Seyè a di ankò! -Mwen te tande jan moun peyi Moab yo ak moun Amon yo t'ap joure pèp mwen an. Yo t'ap pale yo mal. Yo t'ap mache di yo pral pran peyi a nan men yo.
9 Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall bee as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorah, euen the breeding of nettels and salt pittes, and a perpetuall desolation: the residue of my folke shall spoyle them, and the remnant of my people shall possesse them.
Se poutèt sa, mwen menm Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye vivan pèp Izrayèl la, mwen sèmante sou tèt mwen, sa ki te rive lavil Sodòm lan, se sa ki pral rive peyi Moab la. Sa ki te rive lavil Gomò a, se sa ki pral rive peyi moun Amon yo. Yo pral tounen yon kote se pikan chadwon ase ki pral leve, yon mi n' sèl, yon dezè pou tout tan. Ti ponyen ki va rete nan moun pèp mwen yo va piye yo, ti ponyen ki va rete nan moun k'ap sèvi m' yo va pran peyi a pou yo.
10 This shall they haue for their pride, because they haue reproched and magnified themselues against the Lord of hostes people.
Se sa ki pral rive moun Moab yo ak moun Amon yo, paske yo te gen lògèy, yo t'ap pale pèp Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a mal. Yo t'ap mache di yo pral pran peyi a nan men yo.
11 The Lord will be terrible vnto them: for he wil consume all the gods of the earth, and euery man shall worship him from his place, euen all the yles of the heathen.
Seyè a pral fè yo pase pa yo. Li pral disparèt tout bondye moun sou latè yo ap sèvi. Lèfini, tout nasyon toupatou sou latè pral adore l', yo chak nan peyi pa yo.
12 Ye Morians also shalbe slaine by my sword with them.
Nou menm tou, moun peyi Letiopi yo, Seyè a ap touye nou nan lagè!
13 And he wil stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Asshur, and will make Nineueh desolate, and waste like a wildernesse.
Seyè a va leve men l' bò nan nò, l'ap detwi peyi Lasiri. L'ap fè lavil Niniv tounen yon savann, yon tè sèk tankou dezè.
14 And flockes shall lie in the middes of her, and all the beastes of the nations, and the pelicane, and the owle shall abide in the vpper postes of it: the voyce of birdes shall sing in the windowes, and desolations shalbe vpon the postes: for the cedars are vncouered.
Se la tout kalite bèt savann pral chwazi fè kay yo. Koukou ak zagoudi pral fè nich yo nan mitan moso demoli kay wòch yo. Y'ap rele bò fennèt yo. Kaou va rele nan papòt kay yo. Y'ap rache tout bwa sèd nan chapant kay yo.
15 This is the reioycing citie that dwelt carelesse, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she made waste, and the lodging of the beastes! euery one that passeth by her, shall hisse and wagge his hand.
Men sa ki pral rive lavil kote moun t'ap pran plezi yo, lavil kote moun te mete nan tèt yo anyen pa ka rive yo, lavil kote moun yo t'ap di nan kè yo: Se mwen menm sèl chèf! Pa gen lòt! Tout moun k'ap pase bò la pral sezi, y'ap mete men nan tèt lè yo wè sa ki rive.
