Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the Lord which came unto Zephanyah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedalyah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Chizkiyah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah.
Sí olórí akọrin lórí ohun èlò orin olókùn mi. Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó tọ Sefaniah ọmọ Kuṣi, ọmọ Gedaliah, ọmọ Amariah, ọmọ Hesekiah, ní ìgbà Josiah ọmọ Amoni ọba Juda.
2 I will remove, utterly remove all things from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
“Èmi yóò mú gbogbo nǹkan kúrò lórí ilẹ̀ náà pátápátá,” ni Olúwa wí.
3 I will remove man and beast; I will remove the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks together with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the earth, saith the Lord.
“Èmi yóò mú ènìyàn àti ẹranko kúrò; èmi yóò mú àwọn ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run kúrò, àti ẹja inú Òkun, àti ohun ìdìgbòlù pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn búburú; èmi yóò ké ènìyàn kúrò lórí ilẹ̀ ayé,” ni Olúwa wí.
4 And I will stretch out my hand over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Ba'al from this place, the name of his ministers with his priests;
“Èmi yóò na ọwọ́ mi sórí Juda àti sórí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ń gbé ní Jerusalẹmu. Èmi yóò sì ké kúrò níhìn-ín yìí ìyókù àwọn Baali, àti orúkọ àwọn abọ̀rìṣà pẹ̀lú àwọn àlùfáà abọ̀rìṣà,
5 And those that bow themselves down on the roofs of houses to the host of heaven; and those that bow themselves down that are sworn [to be true] to the Lord and still swear by Malkom;
àti àwọn tí ń foríbalẹ̀ lórí òrùlé, àwọn tí ń sin ogun ọ̀run, àwọn tó ń foríbalẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì ń fi Olúwa búra, tí wọ́n sì ń fi Moleki búra.
6 And those that are turned away from following the Lord; and those that have not sought for the Lord, and have not inquired of him.
Àwọn tí ó yípadà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa; àti àwọn tí kò tí wá Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò sì béèrè rẹ̀.”
7 Be silent in the presence of the Lord Eternal; for nigh is the day of the Lord; for the Lord hath prepared a slaughter, he hath bidden his invited guests.
Ẹ dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa Olódùmarè, nítorí tí ọjọ́ Olúwa kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀. Olúwa ti pèsè ẹbọ kan sílẹ̀, ó sì ti ya àwọn alápèjẹ rẹ̀ sí mímọ́.
8 And it shall come to pass on the day of the Lord's slaughter, that I will inflict punishment on the princes, and on the king's sons, and on all such as are clothed in garments of a foreign land.
“Ní ọjọ́ ẹbọ Olúwa, Èmi yóò bẹ àwọn olórí wò, àti àwọn ọmọ ọba ọkùnrin, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn tí ó wọ àjèjì aṣọ.
9 And I will inflict punishment on all those that leap over the threshold on that day, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
Ní ọjọ́ náà, èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ gbogbo àwọn tí ó yẹra láti rìn lórí ìloro ẹnu-ọ̀nà, tí wọ́n sì kún tẹmpili àwọn ọlọ́run wọn pẹ̀lú ìwà ipá àti ẹ̀tàn.
10 And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be a loud cry of lamentation from the fish-gate, and a wailing from the second, and [that of] a great breach from the hills.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ohùn ẹkún yóò wà láti ìhà ibodè ẹja, híhu láti ìhà kejì wá àti ariwo ńlá láti òkè kékeré wá.
11 Wail, ye inhabitants of the mortar-street, for destroyed are all the trading people; cut off are all that were laden with silver.
Ẹ hu, ẹ̀yin tí ń gbé ní agbègbè ọjà, gbogbo àwọn oníṣòwò rẹ̀ ni a ó mú kúrò, gbogbo àwọn ẹni tí ó ń ra fàdákà ni a ó sì parun.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem through with lights; and I will inflict punishment on the men that are at rest on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.
Ní àkókò wọ̀n-ọn-nì, èmi yóò wá Jerusalẹmu kiri pẹ̀lú fìtílà, èmi ó sì fi ìyà jẹ àwọn tí kò ní ìtẹ́lọ́rùn, tí wọn sì dàbí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó sinmi sínú gẹ̀dẹ̀gẹ́dẹ̀ wọn, àwọn tí wọn sì ń wí ní ọkàn wọn pé, ‘Olúwa kì yóò ṣe nǹkan kan tí ó jẹ́ rere tàbí tí ó jẹ́ búburú.’
13 And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses shall be made desolate; and they will build houses, but they shall not inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, but they shall not drink their wine.
Nítorí náà, ọrọ̀ wọn yóò di ìkógun, àti ilé wọn yóò sì run. Àwọn yóò sì kọ́ ilé pẹ̀lú, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò gbé nínú ilé náà, wọn yóò gbin ọgbà àjàrà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kì yóò mu ọtí wáìnì láti inú rẹ̀.”
14 Nigh is the great day of the Lord, it is nigh, and hasteneth greatly, [there is] the noise of the day of the Lord: bitterly crieth there the mighty man.
“Ọjọ́ ńlá Olúwa kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀, ó kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀ ó sì ń yára bọ̀ kánkán. Ẹ tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, ohùn ẹkún àwọn alágbára; ní ọjọ́ Olúwa yóò korò púpọ̀,
15 A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anxiety, a day of wasting and desolation, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and tempestuous gloom,
ọjọ́ náà yóò jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìbínú, ọjọ́ ìrora àti ìpọ́njú, ọjọ́ òfò àti idà ọjọ́ ìdahoro ọjọ́ òkùnkùn àti ìtẹ̀ba, ọjọ́ kurukuru àti òkùnkùn biribiri,
16 A day of the cornet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements.
ọjọ́ ìpè àti ìpè ogun sí àwọn ìlú olódi àti sí àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk about like the blind, because against the Lord have they sinned: and their blood shall be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like the dung.
“Èmi yóò sì mú ìpọ́njú wá sórí ènìyàn, wọn yóò sì máa rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí afọ́jú, nítorí àwọn ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn ni a ó sì tú jáde bí eruku àti ẹran-ara wọn bí ìgbẹ́.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord's wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni fàdákà tàbí wúrà wọn kì yóò sì le gbà wọ́n là ní ọjọ́ ìbínú Olúwa.” Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ayé ni a ó fi iná ìjowú rẹ̀ parun, nítorí òun yóò fi ìyára fi òpin sí gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ ayé.
