Zephaniah 2
1 Gather your selues, euen gather you, O nation not worthie to be loued,
Ku tattaru, ku tattaru, Ya ku al’umma marar kunya,
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.
kafin ƙayyadadden lokacin nan yă zo ranan nan kuma ta share ku kamar ƙaiƙayi kuma kafin fushi mai tsanani na Ubangiji yă auko muku, kafin ranar fushin Ubangiji ta auko muku.
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.
Ku nemi Ubangiji, dukanku ƙasashe masu tawali’u, ku da kuke yin abin da ya umarta. Ku nemi adalci da tawali’u; mai yiwuwa ku sami mafaka a ranar fushin Ubangiji.
4 For Azzah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate: they shall driue out Ashdod at the noone day, and Ekron shalbe rooted vp.
Za a yashe Gaza a kuma bar Ashkelon kango. Da tsakar rana Ashdod za tă zama babu kowa a kuma tumɓuke Ekron.
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.
Taku ta ƙare ku da kuke zama a bakin teku, Ya ku mutanen Keretawa; maganar Ubangiji tana gāba da ke, Ya ke Kan’ana, ƙasar Filistiyawa. “Zan hallaka ki kuma babu abin da zai rage.”
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cotages for shepheardes and sheepefoldes.
Ƙasar da take a bakin teku, inda Keretawa suke zaune, za tă zama wurin da makiyaya da ta garken tumaki.
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.
Za tă zama mallakar raguwar gidan Yahuda; a can za su sami wurin kiwo. Da yamma za su kwanta a gidajen Ashkelon. Ubangiji Allahnsu zai lura da su; zai maido musu da martabarsu.
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.
“Na ji irin zagin da Mowab take yi, da kuma ba’ar Ammonawa, waɗanda suka zagi mutanena suna kuma yi barazana a kan ƙasarsu.
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.
Saboda haka, muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, “tabbatacce Mowab za tă zama kamar Sodom, Ammonawa kuma kamar Gomorra, ƙasa mai ciyayi da rammukan gishiri, ƙasa marar amfani har abada. Raguwar mutanena za su washe su; waɗanda suka rage na al’ummata za su gāda ƙasarsu.”
10 This shall they haue for their pride, because they haue reproched and magnified themselues against the Lord of hostes people.
Wannan ne zai zama sakamakon girmankansu, saboda zagi da kuma ba’ar da suka yi wa mutanen Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
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.
Ubangiji zai zama abin tsoro a gare su sa’ad da ya hallaka allolin ƙasar. Al’ummai a kowane bakin teku za su yi masa sujada, kowa a ƙasarsa.
12 Ye Morians also shalbe slaine by my sword with them.
“Ku ma, ya Kushawa, za a kashe ku da takobina.”
13 And he wil stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Asshur, and will make Nineueh desolate, and waste like a wildernesse.
Zai kuma miƙa hannunsa gāba da arewa yă kuma hallaka Assuriya, zai mai da Ninebe kango gaba ɗaya ta kuma zama busasshiya kamar hamada.
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.
Garkuna za su kwanta a can, da kowace irin halitta, Mujiyar hamada da bushiya za su zauna a kan ginshiƙanta. Kukansu za tă ratsa tagogi, ɓuraguzai za su tare ƙofofin shiga, za a kware ginshiƙan al’ul.
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.
Birnin da yake harka ke nan da take zaune lafiya. Ta ce wa kanta, “Ni ce, kuma babu kamata.” Dubi irin kangon da ta zama mana, mazaunin namun jeji! Duk wanda ya wuce ta sai ya yi mata tsaki yana kaɗa kai.
