1 [the] word of Yahweh - which it came to 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 [the] king of Judah.
Pa inge pweng ma LEUM GOD El tuh sang nu sel Zephaniah in pacl ma Josiah wen natul Amon el tokosra lun Judah. (Zephaniah el ma in fita lal Tokosra Hezekiah kacl Amariah, Gedaliah, ac Cushi.)
2 Utterly I will bring to an end everything from on [the] surface of the ground [the] utterance of Yahweh.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga ac kunausla ma nukewa fin faclu,
3 I will bring to an end human being and animal I will bring to an end [the] bird[s] of the heavens and [the] fish of the sea and the stumbling-blocks with the wicked [people] and I will cut off humankind from on [the] surface of the ground [the] utterance of Yahweh.
mwet nukewa wi kosro, won, ac ik. Nga fah kunausla mwet koluk nukewa. Nga fah kunausla mwet nukewa, ac wangin kutena mwet ac fah painmoulla. Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge.
4 And I will stretch out hand my on Judah and on all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and I will cut off from the place this [the] remnant of Baal [the] name of the pagan priests with the priests.
“Nga fah akkeokye mwet Jerusalem ac mwet Judah nukewa. Nga fah eela tuh in wanginla nufon inken alu nu sel Baal in acn we, ac wangin sie fah ku in esam mwet tol pegan su kulansupwal.
5 And those [who] bow down on the roofs to [the] host of the heavens and those [who] bow down those [who] swear an oath to Yahweh and those [who] swear an oath by Milcom.
Nga fah kunausla kutena mwet su fanyak nu fin lohm uh ac alu nu ke faht, malem, ac itu uh. Nga fah oayapa kunausla mwet su alu nu sik ac wuleang mu elos ac orekma na nu sik, a elos sifilpa orek wulela ku nu sin god Molech.
6 And those [who] have turned back from after Yahweh and [those] who not they have sought Yahweh and not they have sought him.
Nga fah kunauselosla su forla ac tia sifil kulansupweyu, elos su tila fahsr nu yuruk ku suk kolyuk luk.”

8 And it will be on [the] day of [the] sacrifice of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on the princes and on [the] sons of the king and on all those [who] are clothed clothing foreign.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ke len sac, nga fah onela mwet kol ac sou lun tokosra, ac elos nukewa su oru facsin lun mwetsac.
9 And I will visit [judgment] on every [one who] leaps over the threshold on the day that those [who] fill [the] house of lord their violence and deceit.
Nga fah kaelos nukewa su alu oana mwet pegan, ac elos su uniya mwet ac pisre ma lalos in nwakla lohm sin mwet leum lalos ke ma wap.”
10 And it will be on the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] sound of a cry of distress from [the] gate of the fish and wailing from the second district and a crashing great from the hills.
Ac LEUM GOD El oayapa fahk, “In len sac, kowos ac fah lohng pusren tung sisken Mutunpot Ik in Jerusalem. Kowos ac fah lohng pac tung tutaf in acn su tufahna musaiyuk in siti uh, ac sie pusra lulap su ngirla fineol uh me.
11 Wail O inhabitants of the Mortar for it will be destroyed all [the] people of Canaan they will be cut off all [the] weighers of silver.
Kowos su muta tafunyen ten in siti uh in tung ac wowoyak ke pacl se kowos lohngak ma inge, mweyen mwet kuka nukewa elos misa!
12 And it will be at the time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and I will visit [judgment] on the people who are thickening on lees their who are saying in heart their not he will do good Yahweh and not he will do harm.
“In pacl sac nga fah eis kutu lam ac tolak acn nukewa Jerusalem. Nga fah kalyei mwet su pangon elos fas in ma nukewa ac su lulalfongi kaclos sifacna, ac fahk nu selos sifacna, ‘LEUM GOD El tiana oru kutena ma, finne nu ke wo ku nu ke koluk.’
13 And it will become wealth their plunder and houses their a desolation and they will build houses and not they will dwell [in them] and they will plant vineyards and not they will drink wine their.
Mwe kasrup lalos ac fah pusrla, ac lohm selos kunausyukla. Elos fah tiana muta in lohm ma elos musaela, ku nim wain ma tuku ke ima in grape lalos.”

15 [will be] a day of Fury the day that a day of trouble and distress a day of devastation and desolation a day of darkness and gloom a day of cloud and thick darkness.
Ac fah sie len in kasrkusrak, sie len in ongoiya ac keok, len in musalla ac kunanula ma nukewa, sie len lohsr ac ohk lulap, sie len pukunyeng ac lohsr matoltol,
16 A day of trumpet and battle-cry on the cities fortified and on the corners high.
