Zephaniah 3
1 Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth!
Acn Jerusalem ac musalla, sie siti olafohkfok ac tunyuna, su akkeokye mwet lal sifacna.
2 She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:
El tuh tia porongo LEUM GOD, ku insewowo in eis kas in kaiyuk lal. El tia filiya lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD, ku suk kasru sel.
3 Her rulers in her midst, are roaring lions, —her judges, evening wolves, they have left nothing until morning!
Mwet leum lun acn we elos oana lion ngutngut; mwet nununku we oana kosro wolf masrinsral su arulana rapku ac tia lela soko sri in oan nu ke lotu tok uh.
4 Her prophets, are reckless, treacherous men! her priests, have profaned the holy, done violence to law.
Mwet palu elos tiana oru ma kunalos ac elos kutasrik; mwet tol elos akfohkfokyela ma mutal ac ikil ma sap lun God in wo nu selos sifacna.
5 Yahweh, the Righteous One, is in her midst, he dealeth not perversely, —Morning by morning, his justice, bringeth he forth the light, He is not found lacking, but the perverse man knoweth no shame.
Tusruktu LEUM GOD El srakna oasr in siti uh; El oru ma suwohs ac tia ku in oru ma sufal. Lotutang nukewa El tia tui in oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet lal. A ne ouinge, mwet sesuwos we srakna oru na ma koluk ac tia mwekin.
6 I have cut off nations, deserted are their towers, have made desolate their streets, that none passeth through; ruined are their cities, for want of men of note, from lack of any dweller!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga sukela mutunfacl puspis. Nga kunausla siti selos ac filiya pot ac tower ke siti inge in musalla na oan. Siti uh wanginla mwet we, inkanek uh oalalla — wangin mwet lula.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt reverence, Me, wilt accept correction, lest her abode, should be cut of, howsoever I had punished her; but, in truth, they soon corrupted all their deeds.
Nga tuh nunku mu ma inge ac tuh oru mwet luk in asmakla ac akfulatye kaiyuk luk, ac tia mulkunla mwe luti luk nu selos. A tia paht na elos sifil oru koluk oana meet ah.
8 Wherefore, wait for me, urgeth Yahweh, until the day when I rise up as witness, for, my decision, is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out on them mine indignation, all the glow of mine anger, for, in the fire of my jealousy, shall be devoured the whole earth.
Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Soano na. Tupan len se nga ac tuyak ac orek loh lain mutunfacl uh. Nga wulela tari tuh nga fah orani mutunfacl ac tokosrai, ac oru elos in pula ku lun kasrkusrak luk. Faclu nufon ac fah kunausyukla ke kasrkusrak luk, su oana sie firir in e.
9 Surely, then, will I turn unto the peoples a lip made pure, —that they all may call on the name of Yahweh, may serve him with one consent.
“Na nga fah ekulla ouiyen kaskas lun mwet in mutunfacl nukewa, ac elos fah pre nu sik mukena, ac tia nu sin kutena god saya. Elos nukewa fah akosyu.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, [shall come] my suppliants, the daughter of my dispersed ones, shall bear along a gift for me.
Finne acn Ethiopia su oan loeslana, mwet luk su fahsrelik elos ac fah use mwe kisa nu sik we me.
11 In that day, wilt thou not turn pale for all thy deeds, wherein thou hast transgressed against me? For, then, will I take away out of thy midst thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt not again be haughty any more in my holy mountain:
In pacl sac, kowos mwet luk fah tia sifilpa enenu in mwekin lah kowos tuh tuyak lainyu. Nga fah lusla mwet nukewa su filang ac inse fulat, ac kowos fah tia sifilpa tunyuna lainyu fin eol mutal sik.
12 So will I leave remaining in thy midst, a people oppressed and poor, —who will seek refuge in the name of Yahweh:
Nga fah oakiya sie mutunfacl pusisel ac efal in acn we, su fah tuku ac sukok kasru sik.
13 The remnant of Israel—will not do perversity, nor speak falsehood, neither shall there be found in their mouth a tongue of deceit, —surely, they, shall feed and lie down, with none to make them afraid.
Mwet Israel su lula ac fah tia oru kutena ouiya koluk nu sin kutena mwet, ku fahk kas kikiap, ku srike in aklalfonye mwet. Elos fah kapkapak ac muta in misla, ac tia sangeng sin kutena mwet.”
14 Sing out, O daughter of Zion, shout aloud, O Israel, —rejoice and exult with all thy heart, O daughter Jerusalem:
On ac sasa ke engan, kowos mwet Israel! Jerusalem, engan ke insiom nufon!
15 Yahweh, hath set aside, thy judgments, hath turned back thy foe, —The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in thy midst, thou shalt not fear calamity, any more.
LEUM GOD El tulokinya kaiyuk lal nu sum. El lusak mwet lokoalok lom nukewa. LEUM GOD, su tokosra lun Israel, El wi kom. Inge kowos tia enenu in sifilpa sangeng.
16 In that day, shall it be said—to Jerusalem, Do not fear, —O Zion, Let not thy hands hang down:
Pacl se apkuran me ke elos fah fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Nikmet sangeng, siti Zion! Nikmet lela poum in munasla!
17 Yahweh, thy God, in the midst of thee, as a mighty one, will save, —will be glad over thee with rejoicing, will be silent in his love, will exult over thee with shouts of triumph.
LEUM GOD lom El wi kom; Ku lal ac fah sot kutangla nu sum. LEUM GOD El fah enganak keim, Ac ke lungse yohk lal El fah sot nu sum sie moul sasu. El fah on ac arulana engan keim,
18 The sad exiles from the appointed meeting, have I gathered, from thee, had they been! [but were] a burden on thee—a reproach!
Aok, oana engan lun mwet uh ke pacl in kufwa.” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga aksafyela tari mwe aksangeng lun ongoiya Ac eisla mwe mwekin lom.
19 Behold me! dealing with all thine oppressors, at that time, —and I will save her that is lame, and, her that hath been an outcast, will I carry, and I will make them to be a Praise and a Name, in the whole earth that hath witnessed their shame.
Pacl se apkuranme! Nga fah akkeokye mwet ma akkolukye kom; Nga fah molela mwet ul nukewa Ac folokonma mwet sruoh nu yen selos. Nga fah ekulla mwekin lalos nu ke akfulat, Ac faclu nufon fah kaksakunulos.
20 At that time, will I bring you in, even at the time when I gather you, —Yea I will grant you to become a Name and a Praise, among all the peoples of the earth, when I cause them of your captivities to return before your eyes, saith Yahweh.
Pacl se apkuranme! Nga fah oru tuh mwet lom nukewa su fahsrelik in folokeni nu yen selos. Nga fah oru kom in pwengpeng fin faclu nufon Ac sifilpa akkasrupye kom.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.
