Zephaniah 2
1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
Ku tattaru, ku tattaru, Ya ku al’umma marar kunya,
2 Before the decree bringeth forth, before the day passeth as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD cometh upon you, before the day of the LORD’S anger cometh upon you.
kafin ƙayyadadden lokacin nan yă zo ranan nan kuma ta share ku kamar ƙaiƙayi kuma kafin fushi mai tsanani na Ubangiji yă auko muku, kafin ranar fushin Ubangiji ta auko muku.
3 Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, who have performed his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hidden in the day of the LORD’S anger.
Ku nemi Ubangiji, dukanku ƙasashe masu tawali’u, ku da kuke yin abin da ya umarta. Ku nemi adalci da tawali’u; mai yiwuwa ku sami mafaka a ranar fushin Ubangiji.
4 For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted out.
Za a yashe Gaza a kuma bar Ashkelon kango. Da tsakar rana Ashdod za tă zama babu kowa a kuma tumɓuke Ekron.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Taku ta ƙare ku da kuke zama a bakin teku, Ya ku mutanen Keretawa; maganar Ubangiji tana gāba da ke, Ya ke Kan’ana, ƙasar Filistiyawa. “Zan hallaka ki kuma babu abin da zai rage.”
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
Ƙasar da take a bakin teku, inda Keretawa suke zaune, za tă zama wurin da makiyaya da ta garken tumaki.
7 And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed there: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
Za tă zama mallakar raguwar gidan Yahuda; a can za su sami wurin kiwo. Da yamma za su kwanta a gidajen Ashkelon. Ubangiji Allahnsu zai lura da su; zai maido musu da martabarsu.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, by which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
“Na ji irin zagin da Mowab take yi, da kuma ba’ar Ammonawa, waɗanda suka zagi mutanena suna kuma yi barazana a kan ƙasarsu.
9 Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the place possessed of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the remainder of my people shall lay them waste, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
Saboda haka, muddin ina raye,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, “tabbatacce Mowab za tă zama kamar Sodom, Ammonawa kuma kamar Gomorra, ƙasa mai ciyayi da rammukan gishiri, ƙasa marar amfani har abada. Raguwar mutanena za su washe su; waɗanda suka rage na al’ummata za su gāda ƙasarsu.”
10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Wannan ne zai zama sakamakon girmankansu, saboda zagi da kuma ba’ar da suka yi wa mutanen Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
11 The LORD will be terrible to them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
Ubangiji zai zama abin tsoro a gare su sa’ad da ya hallaka allolin ƙasar. Al’ummai a kowane bakin teku za su yi masa sujada, kowa a ƙasarsa.
12 Ye Cushites also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
“Ku ma, ya Kushawa, za a kashe ku da takobina.”
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
Zai kuma miƙa hannunsa gāba da arewa yă kuma hallaka Assuriya, zai mai da Ninebe kango gaba ɗaya ta kuma zama busasshiya kamar hamada.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in her upper lintels; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
Garkuna za su kwanta a can, da kowace irin halitta, Mujiyar hamada da bushiya za su zauna a kan ginshiƙanta. Kukansu za tă ratsa tagogi, ɓuraguzai za su tare ƙofofin shiga, za a kware ginshiƙan al’ul.
15 This is the rejoicing city that dwelt in security, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and shake his hand.
Birnin da yake harka ke nan da take zaune lafiya. Ta ce wa kanta, “Ni ce, kuma babu kamata.” Dubi irin kangon da ta zama mana, mazaunin namun jeji! Duk wanda ya wuce ta sai ya yi mata tsaki yana kaɗa kai.
