Zephaniah 1
1 The word of Yhwh which came unto 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, saith Yhwh.
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 stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith Yhwh.
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 mine hand upon Judah, and upon 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 upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by Yhwh, 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 Yhwh; and those that have not sought Yhwh, nor enquired for him.
o mitolike tsy mañorike Iehovào; naho o tsy mipay Iehovà vaho tsy mihalaly ama’eo.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord Yhwh: for the day of Yhwh is at hand: for Yhwh hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath 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 Yhwh'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, saith Yhwh, 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, ye 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, Yhwh 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 Yhwh is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of Yhwh: 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 wasteness 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 upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yhwh: 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 Yhwh'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.
