Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Taki ta ƙare, ke birnin mai danniya, mai’yan tawaye da kuma masu ƙazanta!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Ba kya yi wa kowa biyayya, ba kya kuma yarda da kuskurenki. Ba kya dogara ga Ubangiji, ba kya kuma kusatowa kusa da Allahnki.
3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Sarakunanki ruri ne na zakoki, shugabanninki kyarketan dare ne, waɗanda ba sa rage kome don safe.
4 Her prophets [are] light [and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Annabawanki mahaukata ne mutanenki masu cin amana ne. Firistocinki suna ƙazantar da Wurin Mai Tsarki suna kuma keta dokoki.
5 The just LORD [is] in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Ubangiji da yake cikinki mai adalci ne; ba ya yin abin da ba daidai ba. Kowace safiya yakan bayyana dokokinsa a fili, kowace sabuwar rana kuma ba ya kāsawa, duk da haka marasa adalci ba sa jin kunya.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
“Na daddatse al’ummai; an kuma rurrushe kagararsu. Na bar titunansu ba kowa, ba mai ratsawa a ciki. An ragargaza biranensu; ba wanda za a bari, babu ko ɗaya.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their doings.
Na ce wa birnin, ‘Tabbatacce za ki ji tsorona ki kuma yarda da gyara!’ Ta haka ba za a datse wurin zamanki ba, ba kuwa dukan hukuncena za su hau bisa kansu ba. Amma har yanzu suna marmari su yi rashin gaskiya a duk abin da suke yi.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith 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.
Saboda haka ku jira ni,” in ji Ubangiji; “a ranar da zan tsaya in ba da shaida, Na yanke shawara in tattara dukan al’ummai, in tattara mulkoki in kuma zuba fushina a kansu, da dukan zafin haushina. Za a mamaye dukan duniya da zafin fushina.
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.
“Sa’an nan zan tsarkake leɓunan mutanen, don dukansu su kira bisa ga sunan Ubangiji su kuma yi masa hidima kafaɗa da kafaɗa.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, [even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
Tun daga ƙetaren rafuffukan Kush masu yi mini sujada, mutanena da suke a warwatse, za su kawo mini hadayu.
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
A wannan rana ba za ku sha kunya saboda laifofin da kuka yi mini, gama zan ɗauke wa wannan birni waɗanda suke farin ciki cikin girmankansu. Ba kuma za ka ƙara yin kallon reni a tuduna mai tsarki ba.
12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Amma zan zauna a cikinki masu tawali’u da masu ƙasƙantar da kai, waɗanda suke dogara ga sunan Ubangiji.
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.
Raguwar Isra’ila ba za su ƙara aikata abin da ba daidai ba, ba za su faɗa ƙarya ba, ba kuwa za a sami ruɗu a bakunansu ba. Za su ci su kuma kwanta kuma babu wanda zai ba su tsoro.”
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Ki rera, ya Diyar Sihiyona; ki tā da murya, ya Isra’ila! Ki yi murna ki kuma yi farin ciki da dukan zuciyarki, Ya Diyar Urushalima!
15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
Ubangiji ya ɗauke hukuncinki, ya mai da abokan gābanki baya. Ubangiji, Sarkin Isra’ila, yana tare da ke; ba kuma za ki ƙara jin tsoron wani lahani ba.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: [and to] Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
A wannan rana za su cewa Urushalima, “Kada ki ji tsoro, ya Sihiyona; kada ki bar hannuwanki su raunana.
17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Ubangiji Allahnki yana tare da ke, mai iko ne don ceto. Zai yi matuƙar farin ciki da ke, zai rufe ki da ƙaunarsa, zai yi farin ciki da ke ta wurin rerawa.”
18 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden.
“Zan cire taƙaici daga gare ki a ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwa; su kaya ne da kuma zargi a gare ki.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, 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.
A wannan lokaci zan jijji wa waɗanda suka danne ku; zan kuɓutar da guragu in kuma tattara waɗanda suke a warwatse. Zan sa a yabe su a kuma girmama su a kowace ƙasar da aka kunyatar da su.
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, saith the LORD.
A wannan lokaci zan tattara ku; a wannan lokaci zan kawo ku gida, zan sa a yabe ku a kuma girmama ku a cikin dukan mutanen duniya a sa’ad da na maido da arzikinku a idanunku,” in ji Ubangiji.
