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.
Judah siangpahrang Amon capa Josiah siangpahrang ah oh naah, Hezekiah capa Amariah, Amariah capa Gedaliah, Gedaliah capa Kushi, Kushi capa Zephaniah khaeah Angraeng ih lok angzoh.
2 I will surely destroy all things from off the land, saith the Lord.
Prae thung ih hmuennawk to kam rosak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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.
Kami hoi moinawk doeh ka paduek boih han; van ih tavaanawk hoi tuipui thung ih tanganawk boih, kahoih ai kaminawk hoi amtimsak kami to kam rosak han, prae kaminawk to kam rosak boih han, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
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,
Judah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk boih nuiah ban ka phok han; Baal kabok anghmat kaminawk, hae ahmuen hoiah krang bok zaehoikungnawk ih ahmin hoi Sithaw panoek ai kami zaehoikungnawk ih ahmin to ka phraek boih han;
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,
imphu ah van cakaeh bok kaminawk, Angraeng ih ahmin hoi kasae lokkamhaih sah kaminawk, Malkham hoi kasae lokkamhaih sah kaminawk;
6 And them that are turned backe from the Lord, and those that haue not sought the Lord, nor inquired for him.
Angraeng khae hoi amlaem let kaminawk, Angraeng pakrong ai, anih khae lokdueng ai kaminawk to ka kam rosak boih han.
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.
Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah anghngai o duem ah; Angraeng ih ni loe anghnai boeh: Angraeng mah hmuen tathlanghaih to sak boeh moe, angmah ih angvinawk to a kawk boeh.
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.
Angraeng ih hmuen tathlanghaih niah, ukkung angraengnawk, siangpahrang caanawk, kalah khukbuen angkhuk kaminawk to dan ka paek boih han.
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.
To na niah khongkha ranui ah angphet tahang kaminawk, angmacae angraeng ih im ah tha patoh moe, alinghaih hoi toksah kaminawk to dan ka paek han.
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.
To na niah loe, Tanga khongkha hoiah qahhaih lok, ohhaih ahmuen hnetto haih hoiah kana hanghaih lok, mae nui hoiah atuen kalen parai kamtimh atuen to om tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
11 Howle ye inhabitants of the lowe place: for the companie of the marchants is destroyed: all they that beare siluer, are cut off.
Hmuenmae zawhhaih ahmuen ah kaom kaminawk, qah oh; hmuenmae zaw kaminawk loe anghmat o boih boeh; sum kanglung hoi hmuenmae zaw kaminawk doeh anghmat o boih boeh.
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.
To naah Jerusalem to hmaithawk hmai hoiah ka pakrong han; Angraeng loe kahoih hmuen doeh, kahoih ai hmuen doeh sah mak ai, tiah palung thung hoi poek kaminawk to ka thuitaek han.
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.
To pongah nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk to lomh pae o tih, imnawk doeh phrae pae o tih: nihcae loe im sah o tih, toe im to om o haih mak ai; nihcae mah misur takha sah o tih, toe misurtui to nae o mak ai.
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.
Angraeng ih ni kalen loe zoi boeh; zoi daek boeh, karangah angzo tih boeh, Angraeng niah hang ih lok loe paroeai zitthok tih: to ah thacak kaminawk hanghaih lok to om tih.
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,
To ani loe palungphuihaih ni, raihaih hoi poek anghmang suthaih ni, amrohaih hoi anghmathaih ni, vinghaih hoi poekhaih kamtueng ai ani, tamai tabokhaih ni hoi kathah khovinghaih niah om ueloe,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarme against the strong cities, and against the hie towres.
mongkah to uengh moe, pakaahaih tapang kaom vangpuinawk hoi imsangnawk to tuk hanah, acoe paekhaih niah om tih.
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.
Kaminawk nuiah palungboenghaih ka phaksak han, nihcae loe Angraeng nuiah zae o boeh pongah, mikmaeng baktiah amhet o tih; nihcae ih athii loe maiphu baktih, nihcae ih ngan doeh tamlok baktiah krai o tih.
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.
Angraeng palungphuihaih niah loe, nihcae ih sum kanglung hoi suinawk mah nihcae to pahlong thai mak ai: anih palungphuihaih hmai mah prae to kangh boih tih, prae thung kaom kaminawk to karangah anghmathaih phasak boih tih.
