Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation that hath no shame;
Yeirai ka panuek hoeh e miphunnaw namahoima kâpouk awh haw.
2 before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger come upon you.
A dei e patetlah na ka pouk awh hoeh, nangmae atueng teh vaikong patetlah a palek hoehnahlan, BAWIPA lungkhueknae ni nangmae lathueng a pha hoehnahlan namahoima kâpouk awh haw.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
A lung kârahnoum niteh, lawk ka tarawi e khocanaw pueng Cathut teh tawng awh haw. Lannae hoi kârahnoumnae hai tawng awh haw. BAWIPA lungkhueknae hnin nah kâhro nahan na hmawt awh mahoeh.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
Gaza kho tâco takhai vaiteh, Ashkelon teh kingdi han. Kanîthun vah Ashdodnaw pâlei vaiteh, Ekron kho hai raphoe lah ao han.
5 Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Talî rai lah kaawm e Kereth miphunnaw, nangmouh teh Cathut lawk hah na taran awh. Filistin onae Kanaan ram, apihai o hoeh nahanlah ka raphoe han.
6 And the sea coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
Talîpui rai teh, tu kakhoumnaw ni kâkawknae hmuen lah ao han.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed [their flocks] thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the LORD their God shall visit them, and bring again their captivity.
Talîpui rai e hmuen teh ka cawi e Judahnaw ni ao nah vaiteh kâkawknae lah ao han. Tangmin lah Ashkelon kho dawk a roe awh han. Ahnimae BAWIPA Cathut teh ahnimouh koe tho vaiteh, hawinae bout a hmu awh han.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Moabnaw hoi Amonnaw ni ka miphun a dudam awh teh a kâoup sin e lawk ka thai toe.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my nation shall inherit them.
Hatdawkvah Isarel Cathut ransahu BAWIPA ni a dei e teh Moab ram hoi Amon ram teh Sodom hoi Komorah kho patetlah pâkhing ka pâw e hmuen, palawi thawng nahanelah tai e talai, a yungyoe ka rawk e ram lah ao teh, kacawie ka tami, ka miphunnaw hah a tuk awh vaiteh a man awh han.
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Ahnimanaw teh a lung kalen e tami lah ao awh teh kâoup laihoi dudam awh vaiteh, ransahu BAWIPA e taminaw koe hottelah a sak awh han.
11 The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the nations.
Yungyoe Cathut teh ahnimouh hanelah taki kawi lah ao teh talai Cathutnaw hah cungkeihoehe lah a coung sak han. Alouke miphunnaw ni amamae hmuen koehoi lengkaleng a bawk awh han.
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
Oe Kush khocanaw nangmouh hai ka tahloi hoi na due awh han.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.
Atunglae naw hai ka tuk vaiteh Assiria ram hai ka raphoe han. Nineveh khopui hah tami kingkadi e lah ka hruek vaiteh a yawn patetlah ka ke sak han.
14 And herds shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the chapiters thereof: [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he hath laid bare the cedar work.
Khopui lungui vah tuhunaw hoi Jentelnaw pueng teh a i awh han. Bukbu hoi basairek ni takhang hoi hlalangaw koehoi a cai awh han. Thonaw koe tami kingdi vaiteh sidarkung teh a emkâlo han.
15 This is the joyous city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none else beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Hote khopui ni kai ka o. Kai hloilah api awm hoeh, tâluengnae awm hoeh, a lung kahawi e khopui lah ka o. Atuteh raphoe e lah, sarang onae kho lah ao toe. Ka cet e pueng ni hai dudam lawk dei awh vaiteh a kut a palik sin awh han.
