Zephaniah 3
1 woe! to flap and to defile [the] city [the] to oppress
Malè a sila ki fè rebèl e ki vin souye a; vil k ap oprime tout!
2 not to hear: hear in/on/with voice not to take: recieve discipline in/on/with LORD not to trust to(wards) God her not to present: come
Fi sa ki pa t obeyi a okenn vwa a. Li pa t dakò resevwa enstriksyon. Li pa t mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a. Li pa t rapwoche de Bondye li a.
3 ruler her in/on/with entrails: among her lion to roar to judge her wolf evening not to reserve to/for morning
Prens anndan li yo tankou lyon voras. Jij li yo tankou lou nan aswè. Yo p ap kite anyen rete pou maten.
4 prophet her be reckless human treachery priest her to profane/begin: profane holiness to injure instruction
Pwofèt li yo se moun trèt san prensip. Prèt li yo te souye sanktyè a. Yo te fè vyolans a lalwa.
5 LORD righteous in/on/with entrails: among her not to make: do injustice in/on/with morning in/on/with morning justice his to give: give to/for light not to lack and not to know unjust shame
SENYÈ a plen ladwati nan mitan li. Li p ap fè okenn enjistis. Chak maten Li fè jistis pa li vin parèt nan limyè. Li pa janm pa reyisi, men moun enjis yo pa gen wont menm.
6 to cut: eliminate nation be desolate: destroyed corner their to destroy outside their from without to pass to waste city their from without man: anyone from nothing to dwell
Mwen te detwi nasyon yo. Ranpa yo dezole nèt. Ri yo te vin gate, pou pèsòn moun pa pase. Vil yo fin detwi nèt, pou pa gen moun, pou pa gen pèsòn ki rete ladan yo.
7 to say surely to fear: revere [obj] me to take: recieve discipline and not to cut: eliminate habitation her all which to reckon: overseer upon her surely to rise to ruin all wantonness their
Mwen te di: “Sèlman gen lakrent Mwen. Resevwa enstriksyon”. Konsa, kote nou rete a pa p vin koupe retire nèt, selon tout sa ke Mwen te deziye pou rive l. Men yo te leve bonè e te konwonpi nan tout zèv yo.
8 to/for so to wait to/for me utterance LORD to/for day to arise: rise I to/for witness for justice: judgement my to/for to gather nation to/for to gather I kingdom to/for to pour: pour upon them indignation my all burning anger face: anger my for in/on/with fire jealousy my to eat all [the] land: country/planet
“Akoz sa, tann Mwen, deklare SENYÈ a, jis rive jou ke M leve pran piyaj la. Anverite, se desizyon Mwen pou rasanble nasyon yo, pou mete wayòm yo ansanm, pou M ka vide sou yo tout chalè kòlè Mwen, tout kòlè vyolan Mwen an. Paske tout tè a va vin devore avèk dife jalouzi Mwen an.
9 for then to overturn to(wards) people lip: words to purify to/for to call: call to all their in/on/with name LORD to/for to serve: minister him shoulder one
Paske nan lè sa a, Mwen va bay a pèp nasyon yo lèv ki pirifye, pou yo tout ka rele non SENYÈ a, pou sèvi Li de zepòl a zepòl.
10 from side: beyond to/for river Cush worshiper my daughter (to scatter my *L(abh)*) to conduct [emph?] offering my
Soti byen lwen rivyè Ethiopie yo, moun ki adore Mwen yo, menm fi dispèse Mwen an va vin pote ofrann ban Mwen.
11 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it not be ashamed from all wantonness your which to transgress in/on/with me for then to turn aside: remove from entrails: among your jubilant pride your and not to add: again to/for to exult still in/on/with mountain: mount holiness my
Nan jou sa a, ou p ap vin gen okenn wont pou zak avèk sila ou te fè rebèl kont Mwen yo; paske nan lè sa a Mwen va retire nan mitan nou, sila ki plen ak ògèy nou yo. Konsa, nou p ap janm vin awogan ankò sou mòn sen Mwen an.
12 and to remain in/on/with entrails: among your people afflicted and poor and to seek refuge in/on/with name LORD
Men Mwen va kite pami nou yon pèp ki aflije, ki malere, e yo va chache pwoteksyon yo nan non SENYÈ a.
13 remnant Israel not to make: do injustice and not to speak: speak lie and not to find in/on/with lip their tongue deceitfulness for they(masc.) to pasture and to stretch and nothing to tremble
Retay Israël la p ap fè okenn inikite, ni yo p ap bay manti, ni yon lang twonpe moun p ap twouve nan bouch yo. Paske yo va manje, e kouche, e pèsòn moun p ap fè yo pè.”
14 to sing daughter Zion to shout Israel to rejoice and to exult in/on/with all heart daughter Jerusalem
Chante, O fi a Sion an! Rele fò, O Israël! Se pou ou kontan e rejwi ak tout kè ou, O fi Jérusalem nan!
15 to turn aside: remove LORD justice: judgement your to turn enemy your king Israel LORD in/on/with entrails: among your not (to fear *L(V)*) bad: evil still
SENYÈ a te retire jijman ou yo. Li te chase tout ènmi ou yo. Wa Israël la, SENYÈ a, la nan mitan nou. Ou pa gen pou pè gwo dega ankò.
16 in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to say to/for Jerusalem not to fear Zion not to slacken hand your
Nan jou sa a, sa va di a Jérusalem: Pa pè anyen, O Sion! Pa kite men ou vin fèb.
17 LORD God your in/on/with entrails: among your mighty man to save to rejoice upon you in/on/with joy be quiet in/on/with love his to rejoice upon you in/on/with cry
SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a nan mitan ou; yon plen pwisans ki va sove a. Li va rejwi sou ou avèk jwa. Li va fè ou vin kalm ak lanmou Li. Li va chante fè fèt lajwa sou ou.
18 to suffer from meeting: festival to gather from you to be tribute upon her reproach
Mwen va retire de nou sa yo ki gen chagren pou fèt deziye yo. Se yon repwoch yo ye pou ou.
19 look! I to make: do [obj] all to afflict you in/on/with time [the] he/she/it and to save [obj] [the] to limp and [the] to banish to gather and to set: make them to/for praise and to/for name in/on/with all [the] land: country/planet shame their
Gade byen, nan lè sa a, Mwen va regle ak tout sila k ap oprime ou yo. Mwen va sove sila ki bwate yo, e rasanble sila ki te rejte yo. M ap bay lwanj ak lonè a sa yo ki p at gen plis ke wont sou tout latè.
20 in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to come (in): bring [obj] you and in/on/with time to gather I [obj] you for to give: make [obj] you to/for name and to/for praise in/on/with all people [the] land: country/planet in/on/with to return: rescue I [obj] captivity your to/for eye your to say LORD
Nan lè sa a, Mwen va fè nou antre e nan menm lè sa a, Mwen va rasanble nou ansanm. Anverite, mwen va bannou lonè ak lwanj pami tout nasyon pèp sou latè yo, lè Mwen mennen retounen tout bonè nou devan zye nou, pale SENYÈ a.
