Zephaniah 1
1 The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Zefania, zanak’ i Kosy, zanak’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Amaria, zanak’ i Hezekia, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Josia, zanak’ i Amona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 I will utterly consume all things from off the face of the ground, saith the LORD.
Hakifako tokoa ny zavatra rehetra tsy ho eny ambonin’ ny tany, hoy Jehovah;
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 face of the ground, saith the LORD.
Eny, hakifako ny olona sy ny biby; Hakifako ny vorona eny amin’ ny habakabaka sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina. Ary ny zavatra mahatafintohina mbamin’ ny ratsy fanahy, Haringako tsy ho amin’ ny tany ny olona, hoy Jehovah.
4 And I will 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 Chemarim with the priests;
Ary hahinjitro ny tanako hamely ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema; Dia haringako tsy ho eo amin’ ity tany ity ny sisa amin’ i Bala, Sy ny anaran’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy mbamin’ ny tena mpisorona,
5 and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship, which swear to the LORD and swear by Malcam;
Sy izay mivavaka any an-tampon-trano amin’ izay eny amin’ ny lanitra, Ary izay miankohoka sy mianiana ho an’ i Jehovah Sady mianiana amin’ i Malkama,
6 and them that are turned back from following the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor inquired after him.
Ary izay nihemotra niala tamin’ i Jehovah, Sy izay tsy nitady an’ i Jehovah na nanontany taminy.
7 Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath sanctified his guests.
Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Tompo! Fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah; Fa Jehovah efa niomana hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra Ka efa nanamasina ny olona nasainy.
8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s sons, and all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro hamonoan’ i Jehovah zavatra hatao fanatitra, Dia hovaliako ny lehibe sy ny zanak’ andriana Mbamin’ izay rehetra mitafy ny fitafin’ ny firenena hafa.
9 And in that day I will punish all those that leap over the threshold, which fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hovaliako izay rehetra miezaka mihoatra ny tokonana, Dia ireo mameno loza sy fitaka ny tranon’ ny tompony.
10 And in that day, saith the LORD, there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Dia hisy feo re mitaraina any am-bavahadin-kazandrano, Sy fidradradradrana ao amin’ ny tanàna ambany, Ary fidarabohana miezinezina any amin’ ny havoana.
11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone: all they that were laden with sliver are cut off.
Midradradradrà, ianareo mponina ao Maktesy; Fa ringana avokoa ny mpandranto rehetra, Eny, lany ringana izay rehetra nivesatra volafotsy.
12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles; and I will punish the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotsiloviko amin’ ny jiro Jerosalema, Ka hovaliako ny olona izay efa lefy ao amin’ ny faikany, Dia izay manao anakampo hoe: Sady tsy hanao soa Jehovah no tsy hanao ratsy.
13 And their wealth shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: yea, they shall build houses, but shall not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but shall not drink the wine thereof.
Ka dia ho tonga babo ny fananan’ ireny, Ary ho lao ny tranony; Dia hanao trano izy, nefa tsy hitoetra ao, Hamboly voaloboka izy, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.
14 The great day of the LORD is near, it is near and hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of the LORD; the mighty man crieth there bitterly.
Efa antomotra ny andro lehiben’ i Jehovah; Eny, efa antomotra sady mihafaingana indrindra, Injay! feon’ ny andron’ i Jehovah! Ny lehilahy mahery dia mitomany mafy any.
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,
Andro fahatezerana izany andro izany, Andro fahoriana sy fahalahelovana, Andro fandravana sy fanafoanana, Andro maizina sy manjombona, Andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito.
16 a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fenced cities, and against the high battlements.
Andro fahaveloman’ ny anjomara sy ny akora, Hamelezana ny tanàna mimanda sy ny tilikambo avo eny amin’ ny zorony.
17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as dung.
Ary hampahory ny olona Aho, Handehanany toy ny jamba, Satria efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah izy; Ny ràny dia haidina toy ny vovoka, Ary ny nofony ho toy ny zezika.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make an end, yea, a terrible end, of all them that dwell in the land.
Na ny volafotsiny na ny volamenany dia samy tsy hahavonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Fa holevonin’ ny afon’ ny fahasaro-piarony ny tany rehetra; Fa fahafonganana, eny, fahafonganana tampoka tokoa no hataony amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany.
