Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Niheo amy Tsefanià ana’ i Kosý ana’ i Gedalià ana’ i Amarià, ana’ i Kizkià faha’ Iosià ana’ i Amone, mpanjaka’ Iehoda ty tsara’ Iehovà:
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, says the LORD.
Toe ho faopaoheko ami’ty tarehe’ ty tane toy ze he’e, hoe t’Iehovà.
3 I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, says the LORD.
Ho mongoreko ondatio naho o bibio; ho fongoreko o voron-dindìñeo, naho o fian-driakeo, naho o vato mahatsikapio mindre amo lo-tserekeo; vaho haitoako an-tane atoy ondatio, hoe t’Iehovà.
4 I will also stretch out my hand on Judah, and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
Hatora-kitsiko ty tañako, am’ Iehoda naho amo hene ondaty e Ierosalaimeo; le haitoako ami’ty toetse toy ty sisa’ i Baale, naho ty tahina’ o mpisorom- pahasiveo rekets’ o mpisoro’eo;
5 And them that worship the host of heaven on the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
o mitalaho amy fifamorohotan-dindiñey an-tafo’eoo; o mitalaho naho mifanta am’ Iehovà vaho mifanta amy Malkameo;
6 And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired for him.
o mitolike tsy mañorike Iehovào; naho o tsy mipay Iehovà vaho tsy mihalaly ama’eo.
7 Hold your peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has bid his guests.
Mianjiña am-piatrefa’ Iehovà, Talè; fa antitotse ty andro’ Iehovà, fa nihentseñe fisoroñañe jabajaba t’Iehovà, vaho hene tinendre’e o hambarà’eo.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Aa ie tondroke ty androm-pisoroña’ Iehovà, le ho liloveko o roandriañeo, naho o ana-donakeo, vaho ze ondaty misikin-damban’ambahiny iaby.
9 In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
Amy andro zay ka, le ho fonga lafaeko o mitsamboan-tokonañe naho mampikobake ty anjomban- talè’e am-pikatramoañe vaho am-pamañahiañeo.
10 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Ie amy andro zay, hoe t’Iehovà: Inay ty kaikaike boak’an-dalam-beim-pìañe ao, naho ty fangololoihañe amy efetse faharoey; vaho fandrihindrihiñañe am-bohitse ey.
11 Howl, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
Mangoihoìa ry mpimone’ i Maktese, fa mibalake iaby o mpanao balikeo, fa naito iaby o niragorago volafotio.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Ie amy andro zay, le ho kodebèko am-pailo t’Ierosalaime; le ho liloveko ondaty miagarègañeo, ie manao ty hoe: Tsy hanao soa t’Iehovà, mbore tsy hanao raty.
13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
Le ho kopaheñe o vara’eo, naho hangoakoake o akiba’eo; eka, handrafetse anjomba iereo fe tsy himoneña’e, hambole tanem-bahe f’ie tsy hinoñe amy divai’e.
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hastens greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Toe an-titotse ty andro ra’elahi’ Iehovà, mitotoke vaho mihitrike, ty feo mafaitse ty andro’ Iehovà, ty hampangoihoy i fanalolahiy.
15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Andron-kaviñerañe i andro zay, andro kankàñe naho faloviloviañe, andro famaopaohañe naho fampikoahañe, andron-kamoromoroñañe naho migoboñe, andro milodolodo vaho ieñe mangeoñe,
16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
Andro’ i antsivay naho ty hazolava, amo rova fatratseo naho amo fijilovañ’ aboo.
17 And I will bring distress on men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Hampalovilovieko ondatio, hijimenjimeña’e hoe goa, amy te nandilatse am’ Iehovà; hikararàke hoe deboke ty lio’ iareo, naho hoe forompotse o nofo’eo.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Tsy haharombake iareo ty volafoti’ iareo ndra ty volamena, amy andron-kaviñera’ Iehovày, fonga ho forototoe’ ty afom-pamarahia’e ty tane toy; toe hampijadoñe’e figadoñañe, eka, figadoñan-kankàñe, amo mpimoneñe an-tane atoio.
