Zephaniah 3
1 Terrible things will [also] happen [to Jerusalem], that city whose people have rebelled [against Yahweh] and who have become unacceptable to him [because of the sins that they have committed]. [They act violently toward others] and they (oppress/treat cruelly) [other people].
Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota kva hiho, na'ankure ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota keontahi havi avu'ava huta vahera zamazeri haviza nehuta, kumara eri pehena hu'naze.
2 [The people there] do not pay attention to people who tell them [the wrong things that they are doing] and [try to] (correct them/cause them to quit doing those things). [The people in Jerusalem] do not trust in Yahweh or draw near to ask help from their God.
Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za kea runetagre'za, zamavumro'ma anteankea antahi'za novaririze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzantera zamentintia nosu'za, Agritera erava'oa nosaze.
3 Their leaders are [like] [MET] roaring lions; they are [like] [MET] wolves that [attack other animals] during the evening, [and eat everything that they kill], with the result that the next morning there is nothing left [of those animals to eat].
Jerusalemi kumate kva vahe'mo'za, laionimo ran krafa huno vano nehiankna nehazage'za, keagama refko'ma nehaza kva vahe'mo'za, kinagafima vanoma nehaza afi kramo'za kenage zagagafa ahe'za nevaga retazageno masa nehiankna nehaze.
4 The prophets in Jerusalem are proud, [and they give messages that are] not to be trusted. Their priests cause the temple to be unholy by doing things that are opposed to the laws [of Moses].
Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehu'za, tusi hazenke vahe mani'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasegea runetagare'za, Ra Anumzamofo Mono nona eri pehena hu'naze.
5 But Yahweh is [also] in the city; and he never does what is wrong. He treats people justly/fairly; he does that every day, but wicked people are never ashamed [about their doing what is wrong].
Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi ran kumapina ko'ma nemanire mani'neankino, Agra mago havizana nosie. Knane knanena Agra fatgo huno vahera refko hunezamante'neanagi, vahe'mo'za Agrira keamara nosaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamagaze zana nomane.
6 [Yahweh says this]: “I have destroyed [many] nations; I have destroyed their strong/high city walls and towers. [Now] I have caused the streets in those cities to be completely deserted [DOU]; the cities are ruined. There are no people [still alive] in the cities; they are all dead [LIT].
Nagra rama'a kumatamimpi vahera zamahe vagarogeno, mani'nezama kuma'ma kegavama nehaza zaza nozmimo'a haviza huno me'ne. Kuma zamifima vanoma nehaza ne'onse kantamina eri haviza huge'za vahera vano osazageno, ranra kumazmimo'a haviza huno megeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfaza hu'ne.
7 [So] I thought [to myself], ‘[Because of what I have done to those other nations], surely the people [of Jerusalem] will revere me [now], and they will accept (my correcting them/my telling them to quit doing what is wrong). [If they do that, I] will not destroy their houses; I will not punish them like I said that I would do.’ But [in spite of knowing how I punished those other nations], they were still eager to get up early each morning and continue to do evil things.
Nagrama antahuana tamagerfa hu'za Nagri agoraga nemani'za, Nagrama zamavumro'ma antoanke'ma antahisage'na kumazmia eri haviza osugahue hu'na antahi'noe. Hianagi zamagra maka'zama hazafina, kazigazi hu'za havi avu'ava zana hu'za vu'naze.
8 Therefore I, Yahweh, say, ‘Wait for the day in which I will testify [in court about your evil things].’ I have decided to gather the people of the kingdoms [of the earth] [DOU] and cause them to know that I am very angry with them. All [over] the earth I will punish and destroy people; my being angry with them because I (am jealous/want people to worship no other god) is [like] [MET] a (raging/very hot) fire.
E'ina hu'negu akoheta Nagri navega anteta maniho huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Nagrama oti'na keagama huzmante'sanua knazupa, ko antahintahi retro hu'noanki'na kokankokama nemaniza vahe'ene kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri atru hute'na, narimpa ahe'zana zamagrite eri akaha hu atregahue. Nagrama kanivema rezamantesanua narimpa ahe'zamo'a, teve nefakna huno maka ama mopa teno eri fanane hugahie.
9 When that happens, I will cause [all] people [MTY] to be changed and enable them to speak [only] what is (pure/pleasing to me), in order that everyone can worship me [MTY] and unitedly/together serve me [MTY].
Ana zupa maka kokankoka vahera zamagerura eri agru hanuge'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na Nagia ahentesga hu'za monora hunante'gahaze.
10 [Then] my people who [were forced to go to other countries], those who live along the upper part of the [Nile] River in Ethiopia will come to me and bring offerings to me.
Nagri'ma mono'ma hunenantaza vahe'nima zamahe panani'ma hazage'za Itiopia mopafima mane'nea timofo kantu kazigama umani'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagritega ofa eri'za egahaze.
11 At that time, you [people in Jerusalem] will no [longer] be ashamed [about what has happened to you], because you no longer will be rebelling against me. I will get rid of all the people among you who are very proud [DOU]. No one on [Zion], my holy hill, will [strut around] proudly.
Nagri kema nontahita veganokano'ma hu'naza zankura, e'i ana zupa tamagazegura osugahaze. Na'ankure ru'enena tamagra Nagrira hara reonantegahaze. Tamagri amu'nompintira zamavufaga rama nehu'za kema nontahiza vahera zamazeri atregahue. Ana hanugeno ruotage'ma hu'nea agona'nifina zamavufaga rama nehaza vahera omanigahaze.
12 Those who are still alive in Israel will be poor and humble; they will be people who trust in me [MTY].
Hianagi akohe'zama nemani'za, zamavufagama anteramiza nemaniza vaheke zamatrenuge'za manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi frakiza nemaniza vahe mani'naze.
13 Those people who are still alive [there] in Israel will not do [things that are] wrong; they will not tell lies or deceive [MTY] people. They will eat and sleep [safely], [because] no one will cause them to be afraid.”
Israeli naga'ma osi'ama manisaza vahe'mo'za mago hazenkea nosu'za, mago havigea nosu'za, magore hu'za havigea huza vahera rezamataga osugahaze. Ana nehu'za zamagra ne'zana nezamu nehu'za, mani fru hu'za nemani'nageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamazeri korora osugahie.
14 You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU] and [other places in] Israel, sing and shout loudly! Be glad, and rejoice [DOU] greatly,
Hagi Saioni mofamoka zagamera nehuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za rankea hu'za kezati'za zagamera hiho. Jerusalemi mofa'moka maka kagu'areti hunka musenkasea nehugeno, karimpamo'a so'e hino.
15 [because] Yahweh will stop punishing [MTY] you, and he will send away from you [the armies of] your enemies! And Yahweh [himself], the king of [us] Israeli people, will live among us, and never again will we be afraid that [others will] harm us.
Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma keaga huneramante'no tamazeri haviza hugahuema huno hu'nea zana eri netreno, tamagri ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahera zamaretufege'za vu'naze. Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzana Agra'a Israeli vahe'mota Kinimo tamagri amu'nompina manigahie. Ana hanigeta hazenke'zama e'zankura korora osugahaze.
16 At that time, [other people] will say to us people of Jerusalem, “[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, do not be afraid; do not become afraid or discouraged,
Ana kna zupa Jerusalemi kumakura hu'za, Saioni agonamoka korora nehunka atregeno kazamo'a arage oramino hu'za hugahaze.
17 [because] Yahweh your God is [living] among you. He is mighty, and he will rescue/save you. He will be very happy with you; because he loves you, he will cause you to not be afraid; he will sing loudly to rejoice over you.”
Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo kagri amu'nompina mani'ne. Agra hankavenentake harafa ne' mani'ne. Agra kagrikura tusi muse hugahiankino, avesi zama'areti koroma nehana zana maka eri amne hugahie. Kagrikura ranke huno zagamera nehuno, Agra musenkasea hugahie.
18 [Yahweh says, ] “You people were sad and ashamed because [you were unable to attend] your religious festivals; but I will cause you to no longer be disgraced.
Ra Anumzamo'a huno, musenkasema nehaza knare'ma musema osu'naza zanku'ma tamasunku'ma nehaza vahera zamavare atru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena tamazeri tamagazea hanageta tamagazegura osugahaze.
19 Truly, I will [severely] punish all those who (oppressed you/caused you to suffer). I will rescue those who are helpless and those who were forced to go to other countries. I will enable them to be praised and honored in every country to which they were (exiled/forced to go), places where they were disgraced.
Tamagri'ma knazama tamiza tamazeri havizama hu'naza vahera, ana knazupa hazenke zamigahue. Hanki zamagama havizama hu'nea vahera zamagu'nevazi'na, vahe'mo'zama zamahe'za zamarotago'ma hazage'zama fre'naza vahera ete magopi zamavare tru hugahue. Ru kumategama vuta kinama ome hutama mani'nage'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za kiza zokago ke huneramante'za huhaviza huramante'naze. Hianagi menina ete zamagu'a eri rukrahe hanuge'za, tamagrira husga huramantegahaze.
20 At that time, I will gather you together and bring you [back] home [to Israel]. I will cause you to (have a good reputation/be honored) and be [greatly] praised among all the nations of the earth. You [MTY] will see me causing you to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
Ana kna zupa tamagrira magopi tamavre tru hute'na, tamavre'na nonkuma tamire ete egahue. Ama mopafima mani'naza vahe amu'nompintira, tamagrira knare tamagi tamisuge'za tamagesga hugahaze. Tamagra'a tamavufinti negesage'na tamazeri so'e hugahue. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama nanekea hue!
