< Zephaniah 3 >

1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Asi pay ti managsukir a siudad! Natulawanen ti naranggas a siudad!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Saan daytoy a dimngeg iti timek ti Dios, wenno saan nga immawat iti pannursuro manipud kenni Yahweh! Saan isuna nga agtalek kenni Yahweh ken saan nga umasideg iti Diosna.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the next day.
Dagiti prinsipena ket kasla ngumerngernger a leon iti nagtengngaanna! Dagiti ukomna ket kasla kadagiti lobo iti rabii a saan a mangitedda iti kanenda iti agsapa!
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Dagiti profetana ket nadursok ken manangliput a lallaki! Rinugitan dagiti padina ti nasantoan ken nagaramid iti panaglabsing iti linteg!
5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.
Nalinteg ni Yahweh iti nagtengngaanna! Dinto agaramid iti biddut! Iti tunggal bigat, ipaayna ti husticia! Saanto nga mailemmeng iti lawag, ngem ti managdakdakes ket dina ammo ti agbain!
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passes by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
“Dinadaelko dagiti nasion; nadadael dagiti sarikedkedda. Dinadaelko dagiti kalsadada tapno awan a pulos iti makalabas kadagitoy. Nadadael dagiti siudadda ket awan ti tao a makapagnaed kadagitoy.
7 I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
Kinunak, ‘Sigurado nga agbutengkanto kaniak! Umawatka iti pannakaisuro ket saanka a mapapanaw kadagiti pagtaengam iti amin a pinanggepko nga aramiden kenka!' Ngem aggagarda a mangirugi iti tunggal agsapa babaen iti panangpadakesda kadagiti amin nga aramidda.
8 Therefore wait all of you upon me, says the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Ngarud, urayendak”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— “agingga iti aldaw a tumakderak nga agsamsam! Ta ti pangngedengko ket urnongek dagiti nasion, ummongek dagiti pagarian, ken tapno idissuorko kadakuada ti ungetko, ti narungsot a pungtotko, tapno maikisap amin ti daga babaen iti apuy ti ungetko.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
Ngem urayno kasta, ikkakto iti nadalus a pagsasao dagiti tattao, tapno umawagda amin iti nagan ni Yahweh, tapno agserbida kaniak nga addaan iti panagkaykaysa.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
Manipud iti labes ti karayan ti Etiopia a mangidaydayaw kaniak—dagiti naiwara-wara a tattaok—mangyegto kadagiti daton a para kaniak.
11 In that day shall you not be ashamed for all your doings, wherein you have transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of you them that rejoice in your pride, and you shall no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, saankayonto a maibabain gapu kadagiti amin nga aramidyo a maibusor kaniak, agsipud ta iti dayta a tiempo, ikkatekto kadakayo dagiti nangramrambak iti kinatangsityo, ken gapu ta saankayontno nga agtignay a sipapalangguad iti tapaw ti nasantoan a bantayko.
12 I will also leave in the midst of you an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Ngem ibatikayo a kas nanumo ken napanglaw a tattao, ket agkamangkayonto iti nagan ni Yahweh.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Saanton nga aglabsing wenno agulbod dagiti nabatbati iti Israel, ken awan ti manangallilaw a dila iti masarakanto kadagiti ngiwatda; isu nga agarab ken agiddada, ken awanto iti pagbutbutnganda.”
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Agkantaka, O anak a babbai ti Sion! Agdir-ika, O Israel! Agrag-o ken agragsakka iti amin a pusom, O anak a babai ti Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of you: you shall not see evil any more.
Inikkaten ni Yahweh ti dusam; pinapanawnan dagiti kabusormo! Ni Yahweh ti ari ti Israel nga adda kadagiti nagtengngaanyo. Saanmonto manen a kabuteng ti dakes!
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear you not: and to Zion, Let not your hands be slack.
Iti dayta nga aldaw, kunaendanto iti Jerusalem, “Saanka nga agbuteng, O Sion. Saanmo nga itulok a kumapuy dagiti imam.
17 The LORD your God in the midst of you is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over you with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over you with singing.
Ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket adda kadakayo, ti mannakabalin a mangisalakan kadakayo. Agrambakto isuna gapu kadakayo ken paginanaennakayonto iti ayatna nga addaan rag-o; Maragsakanto isuna kadakayo ket agpukkawto isuna iti rag-o.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of you, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
Dagiti nagladingit gapu iti naituding a fiesta—inummongko ida manipud kadakayo, nagbalinda a dadagsen ken nakaigapuan ti pannakaibabainyo.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict you: and I will save her that haltes, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
Adtoy, iti dayta a tiempo, dusaekto dagiti amin a nangparparigat kadakayo. Ispalekto dagiti pilay ken ummongekto dagiti napatalaw. Ikkatekto ti nakaibabainanda ket pagbalinekto ida a nadayaw ken natan-ok iti entero a daga.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, says the LORD.
Iti dayta a tiempo, idauloan ken pagmaymaysaenkayonto. Raemen ken idayawdakayonto dagiti amin a nasion iti daga, inton makitayo nga insublik ti kinarang-ayyo,” kuna ni Yahweh.
