Zephaniah 3
1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Hankàñe amy maleotse naho tìvay, i rova mamorekekey.
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Tsy hinao’e i fiarañanañañey, tsy rinambe’e i lafay, tsy niatoa’e t’Iehovà; tsy niharinea’e t’i Andrianañahare.
3 Her princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Liona mitroñe o roandria ama’eo amboa-hako o mpizaka’eo; ndra loli’e tsy apo’ iareo am-para’ te maray.
4 Her prophets are light [and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Ondaty jagarigary naho mpikitroke o mpitoki’eo, fa tiniva’ o mpisoro’eo i miavakey, naho nivalike amy Hàke.
5 The just LORD [is] in the midst of her; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Vantañe añivo’e ao t’Iehovà, ie tsy mandilatse; aboa’e an-kazavàñe boa-maraiñe tsy milesa ty hatò’e; fe tsy mete salatse ty mengoke.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is no inhabitant.
Toe naitoako o fifeheañeo, bangiñe o rova’eo; nampikoaheko o lala’eo am-para’ te tsy amam-pañavelo ty ey; rotsake o rova’eo, po-sehanga’e, leo raike tsy mimoneñe ao.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, however I punished them: but they rose early, [and] corrupted all their doings.
Nanao ty hoe iraho: Va’e hañeveñe amako irehe? handrambesa’o lafa, soa tsy haitoañe o akiba’oo; amy ze he’e nametsahako ama’ey! fe nalisa iereo, naniva ze fonga sata’iareo.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination [is] to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, [even] all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Aa le liñiso iraho, hoe t’Iehovà, ampara’ i andro hanjehazehako anahareoy, fa hoe ty safiriko: hatontoko o kilakila’ ndatio, havoriko o fifeheañeo hampidoañako ty habosehako miforoforo; ho fonga forototoe’ ty afom-pamarahiako ty tane toy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
Eka hampikotritriaheko am’ondatio ty soñi’ iareo, soa te hene hikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà, hitoroñe Aze am-pitraofañ’ina.
10 From beyond the rivers of Cush my suppliants, [even] the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering.
Boak’ alafe’ o saka’ i Kosìo añe ty hanesea’ iareo o mpipay Ahikoo; o anak’ ampela’ i nampiparaitahekoio ro ho banabanaeñe amako.
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, in which thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
Amy andro zay, tsy hanalatse azo o fitoloña’oo, o niolà’o amakoo, fa hasintako añivo’o ao o mpitreñe am-pirengevohañeo, ie tsy hibohaboha ka amy vohiko miavakey.
12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Le hapoko añivo’o ao t’indaty misotry naho rarake, hitsoloke amy tahina’ Iehovày.
13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.
Tsy handilatse tsy handañitse ty sengaha’ Israele; le tsy ho oniñe am-palie’e ao ty famelem-pamañahiañe: fa hikama iereo vaho handre, le tsy ho amam-pañembañe.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Misaboa, ry anak’ ampela’ i Tsione: mipazaha ry Israele; mifalea naho mirebeha an-kaampon-troke ry anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime.
15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thy enemy: the King of Israel, [even] the LORD, [is] in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
Fa nafaha’ Iehovà o nañozoñañ‘azoo; fa sinoi’e añe o rafelahi’oo; Iehovà ro mpanjaka’ Israele añivo’o ao; tsy hahaonin-karatiañe ka irehe.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: [and to] Zion, Let not thy hands be slack.
Amy sa zay, ho tseizeñe am’ Ierosalaime ty hoe: Ko hembañe; naho amy Tsione: Ko mampigebam-pitàñe.
17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee [is] mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Añivo’o ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ie Fanalolahy maharombake hirebek’ ama’o an-kafaleañe, hianjiñe aman-koko; handia taroba aman-tsabo.
18 I will gather [them that are] sorrowful for the solemn assembly, [who] are of thee, [to whom] the reproach of it [was] a burden.
Hatontoko o mihontoke o sabadidam-pamantañañeoo, o mpiama’o mivave i injeio.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
Inao, ie tsatoke i andro zay songa ho toloñeko o manindry azoo, le ho rombaheko i mikoletray, naho hatontoko i niroaheñey, vaho hafoteko ho engeñe naho tahinañe an-tane atoy ty fisalara’ iareo.
20 At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
Hampolieko amy andro zay nahareo, amy sa anontonako anahareoy, Toe hanoako tahinañe naho engeñe añivo ze hene ondati’ty tane toy, naho ampoliko añatrefam-pihaino’ areo, ty fandrohizañe anahareo, hoe t’Iehovà.
