Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O shameless nation;
Coi uh laeh, a hue a bawt pah namtom te coi uh laeh.
2 Before the decree bring forth the day when one passeth as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
Oltlueh a cun hlan ah cangkik bangla khohnin loh khum. BOEIPA kah thintoek thinsa loh nang soah a pai hlan ah pawt nim, BOEIPA kah thintoek hnin loh nang soah a pai hlan ah pawt nim.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye humble of the earth, that have executed His ordinance; seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
A laitloeknah aka vai diklai kah kodo boeih loh BOEIPA te tlap uh laeh. Duengnah te tlap uh. Kodonah te tlap uh. BOEIPA kah thintoek hnin ah na thuh uh thai khaming.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
Gaza a hnoo tih Ashkelon he khopong la om ni. Ashdod te khothun ah a haek uh vetih Ekron te a haih ni.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Anunae, tuipuei langdai kah khosa namtom Kerethi aih. BOEIPA ol he Philisti kho kah Kanaan nang taengah om coeng. Te dongah khosak a tal hil nang kam milh sak ni.
6 And the sea-coast shall be pastures, even meadows for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
Tuipuei rhi kah rhamtlim te boiva aka dawn kah impoem neh boiva kah tanglung la poeh ni.
7 And it shall be a portion for the remnant of the house of Judah, whereon they shall feed; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the LORD their God will remember them, and turn their captivity.
Te khuikah te Judah imkhui kah a meet ham khoyo la om ni. Ashkelon im ah luem uh vetih hlaem ah kol uh ni. Amih te a Pathen BOEIPA loh a hip vetih amih kah thongtla, thongtla te a mael puei ni.
8 I have heard the taunt of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have taunted My people, and spoken boastfully concerning their border.
Moab kah kokhahnah neh Ammon ca rhoek kah honah te ka yaak coeng. Amih loh ka pilnam te a veet uh tih amamih khorhi ah pantai uh.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding-place of nettles, and saltpits, and a desolation, for ever; the residue of My people shall spoil them, and the remnant of My nation shall inherit them.
Te dongah kai tah hingnah ni tila Israel kah Pathen caempuei BOEIPA kah olphong om coeng. Moab ngawn tah Sodom bangla, Ammon ca rhoek khaw Gomorrah bangla om ni. Lota cuk, lungkaeh pup neh kumhal kah khopong la om ni. Ka pilnam kah a meet loh amih te a poelyoe uh vetih kamah namtu, namtu kah a noi long tah amih te a pang uh ni.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have taunted and spoken boastfully against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Caempuei BOEIPA kah pilnam te a veet uh tih a cangdoek uh dongah amih kah hoemdamnah yueng la amih ham he ni a om.
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them; for He will famish all the gods of the earth; then shall all the isles of the nations worship Him, every one from its place.
Diklai pathen boeih te a yawih sak vaengah BOEIPA tah amih taengah a rhih om pai. Te dongah te hmuen kah hlang neh namtom sanglak boeih loh amah te a bawk uh ni.
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by My sword.
Kushi nang khaw ka cunghang dongkah a rhok rhoek ni.
13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.
A kut te tlangpuei la a thueng vetih Assyria te a milh sak ni. Te vaengah Nineveh te khopong rhamrhae neh khosoek la a khueh ni.
14 And all beasts of every kind shall lie down in the midst of her in herds; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the capitals thereof; voices shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the posts; for the cedar-work thereof shall be uncovered.
A laklung ah tuping neh, namtom kah a hingnah boeih khaw, khosoek saelbu khaw kol ni. Kharhoeng te a rhaimuem dongah rhaeh vetih bangbuet lamloh a ol cai ni. Cingkhaa dongkah lamphai thingpang ngawn tah kholing ah a yaal ni.
15 This is the joyous city that dwelt without care, that said in her heart: 'I am, and there is none else beside me'; how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Khopuei he yalpo tih ngaikhuek la kho aka sa loh a thinko neh, “Kai phoeiah lungli lungla a tloe om a?” a ti. Balae tih a kolhmuen te imsuep la a poeh. Mulhing boeih loh te longah a pah vaengah kutving neh a kut la a khong thil mai.
