< Sophonias 2 >
1 Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
Ku tattaru, ku tattaru, Ya ku al’umma marar kunya,
2 before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
kafin ƙayyadadden lokacin nan yă zo ranan nan kuma ta share ku kamar ƙaiƙayi kuma kafin fushi mai tsanani na Ubangiji yă auko muku, kafin ranar fushin Ubangiji ta auko muku.
3 Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgment, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
Ku nemi Ubangiji, dukanku ƙasashe masu tawali’u, ku da kuke yin abin da ya umarta. Ku nemi adalci da tawali’u; mai yiwuwa ku sami mafaka a ranar fushin Ubangiji.
4 For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
Za a yashe Gaza a kuma bar Ashkelon kango. Da tsakar rana Ashdod za tă zama babu kowa a kuma tumɓuke Ekron.
5 Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbors of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
Taku ta ƙare ku da kuke zama a bakin teku, Ya ku mutanen Keretawa; maganar Ubangiji tana gāba da ke, Ya ke Kan’ana, ƙasar Filistiyawa. “Zan hallaka ki kuma babu abin da zai rage.”
6 And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.
Ƙasar da take a bakin teku, inda Keretawa suke zaune, za tă zama wurin da makiyaya da ta garken tumaki.
7 And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
Za tă zama mallakar raguwar gidan Yahuda; a can za su sami wurin kiwo. Da yamma za su kwanta a gidajen Ashkelon. Ubangiji Allahnsu zai lura da su; zai maido musu da martabarsu.
8 I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
“Na ji irin zagin da Mowab take yi, da kuma ba’ar Ammonawa, waɗanda suka zagi mutanena suna kuma yi barazana a kan ƙasarsu.
9 Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
Saboda haka, muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, “tabbatacce Mowab za tă zama kamar Sodom, Ammonawa kuma kamar Gomorra, ƙasa mai ciyayi da rammukan gishiri, ƙasa marar amfani har abada. Raguwar mutanena za su washe su; waɗanda suka rage na al’ummata za su gāda ƙasarsu.”
10 This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
Wannan ne zai zama sakamakon girmankansu, saboda zagi da kuma ba’ar da suka yi wa mutanen Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
11 The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
Ubangiji zai zama abin tsoro a gare su sa’ad da ya hallaka allolin ƙasar. Al’ummai a kowane bakin teku za su yi masa sujada, kowa a ƙasarsa.
12 You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
“Ku ma, ya Kushawa, za a kashe ku da takobina.”
13 And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
Zai kuma miƙa hannunsa gāba da arewa yă kuma hallaka Assuriya, zai mai da Ninebe kango gaba ɗaya ta kuma zama busasshiya kamar hamada.
14 And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
Garkuna za su kwanta a can, da kowace irin halitta, Mujiyar hamada da bushiya za su zauna a kan ginshiƙanta. Kukansu za tă ratsa tagogi, ɓuraguzai za su tare ƙofofin shiga, za a kware ginshiƙan al’ul.
Birnin da yake harka ke nan da take zaune lafiya. Ta ce wa kanta, “Ni ce, kuma babu kamata.” Dubi irin kangon da ta zama mana, mazaunin namun jeji! Duk wanda ya wuce ta sai ya yi mata tsaki yana kaɗa kai.
