Zephaniah 2

1 Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.

Miangona, eny, mivoria ianareo Ry firenena tsy manan-kenatra,

2 Before brings forth a decree like chaff it has passed away a day before - not it will come on you [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh before not it will come on you [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.

Dieny tsy mbola mihatra ny didy (Mihelina toy ny akofa ny andro!), Dieny tsy mbola tonga aminareo ny fahatezerana mafin’ i Jehovah, Eny, dieny tsy mbola tonga aminareo ny andro firehetan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.

3 Seek Yahweh O all [the] humble [people] of the land who judgment his they have done seek righteousness seek humility perhaps you will be hidden on [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.

Mitadiava an’ i Jehovah, ianareo mpandefitra rehetra amin’ ny tany, Izay efa nanaraka ny fitsipiny: Tadiavo ny fahamarinana, Tadiavo ny fandeferana; Angamba ho voafina ianareo amin’ ny andro fahatezeran’ i Jehovah.

4 For Gaza abandoned it will be and Ashkelon [will become] a desolation Ashdod at the noontide people will drive out it and Ekron it will be plucked up.

Fa hafoy Gaza, Ary ho lao Askelona; Horoahiny mitataovovonana Asdoda, Ary hofongorana Ekrona.

5 Woe to! [the] inhabitants of [the] region of the sea [the] nation of [the] Kerethites [the] word of Yahweh [is] on you O Canaan [the] land of [the] Philistines and I will destroy you from not inhabitant.

Lozan’ ny mponina any amoron-tsiraka, Dia ny firenen’ ny Keretita! Mihatra aminareo ny tenin’ i Jehovah, Ry Kanana, tanin’ ny Filistina! Haringako tsy hisy mponina eo aminao,

6 And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.

Ary ny any amoron-tsiraka dia ho tonga tany fiandrasana ondry, izay misy zohy fialofan’ ny mpiandry ondry, Sy ho valan’ ondry aman’ osy,

7 And it will belong [the] region to [the] remnant of [the] house of Judah on them they will graze! in [the] houses of Ashkelon in the evening they will lie down! for he will visit them Yahweh God their and he will turn back (captivity their. *Q(k)*)

Ary ho tanin’ ny sisa amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda izany, Ka any no hiandrasany ondry; Ny tranon’ i Askelona no handriany amin’ ny hariva; Fa Jehovah Andriamaniny no hamangy azy Ka hampody azy avy amin’ ny fahababoany.

8 I have heard [the] reproach of Moab and [the] reviling words of [the] people of Ammon who they have reproached people my and they have magnified themselves on territory their.

Efa reko ny fandatsan’ i Moaba Sy ny fanaratsian’ ny taranak’ i Amona, Izay nandatsany ny oloko Sy nireharehany teny amin’ ny sisin-taniny.

9 Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel that Moab like Sodom it will be and [the] people of Ammon like Gomorrah a place possessed of nettle[s] and a pit of salt and a waste until perpetuity [the] remnant of people my they will plunder them and [the] rest ofK: (nation my *Q(K)*) they will take possession of them.

Koa raha velona koa Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Dia ho tahaka an’ i Sodoma tokoa Moaba, Ary ny taranak’ i Amona ho tahaka an’ i Gomora, Dia ho alan’ amiana sy lava-tsira ary tany lao mandrakizay; Ny sisa amin’ ny oloko no hamabo azy, ary ny sisa amin’ ny oloko no hahalasa azy.

10 This [will belong] to them in place of pride their for they reproached and they magnified themselves on [the] people of Yahweh of hosts.

Izany no ho valin’ ny avonavony, Satria nandatsa ny olon’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, sy nirehareha taminy izy.

11 [will be] awesome Yahweh on them if he will make lean all [the] gods of the earth so they may bow down to him everyone from own place his all [the] islands of the nations.

Hahatsiravina azy Jehovah, Satria hahamosarena ireo andriamanitra rehetra ambonin’ ny tany Izy, Mba hiankohofan’ ny any amoron-tsiraky ny jentilisa rehetra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Samy any amin’ ny fitoerany avy.

12 Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.

Hianareo Etiopiana koa, Ho voatrabaky ny sabatro ianareo.

13 And he may stretch out hand his on [the] north so he may destroy Assyria and he may make Nineveh a waste a dry region like the wilderness.

Ary haninjitra ny tànany hamely ny avaratra Izy Ka handringana an’ i Asyria; Ary hahalao an’ i Ninive ho karankaina tahaka ny efitra Izy.

14 And they will lie down in [the] midst of it herds every animal of a nation both desert owl as well as hedgehog on capitals its they will spend [the] night a sound it will sing in the window desolation [will be] on the threshold for cedar-work he will lay bare.

Ary hisy andiany handry ao aminy, Dia fivorian’ ny karazam-biby samy hafa, Ny sama sy ny sokina hitoetra ao amin’ ny kapitaliny; Feo mikiririoka no ho re ao am-baravarankely, Ary fandravana no ho eo an-tokonana, Fa hendahany ny rafitra sedera.

15 This [is] the city jubilant which dwells to security which says in heart its I and only I [am] yet how! - it has become a waste a resting place for animal[s] every [one who] passes by at it he will hiss he will shake hand his.

Izany no tanàna niravoravo sady nandry fahizay, Izay nanao anakampo hoe: Izaho no izy, ary tsy misy hafa; Endrey! efa tonga lao izy, eny, fandrian’ ny biby! Izay rehetra mandalo azy dia hisitrisitra sy hanondro tanana.
