Zephaniah 2
1 Come ye togidere, be gaderid, ye folc not worthi to be loued,
Sonkhanani pamodzi, sonkhanani pamodzi, inu mtundu wochititsa manyazi,
2 bifore that comaundyng brynge forth as dust passyng dai; bifore that wraththe of strong veniaunce of the Lord come on you, bifor that the dai of his indignacioun come on you.
isanafike nthawi yachiweruzo, nthawi yanu isanawuluke ngati mungu, usanakufikeni mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova, tsiku la ukali wa Yehova lisanafike pa inu.
3 Alle myelde men of erthe, seke ye the Lord, whiche han wrouyt the doom of hym; seke ye the iust, seke ye the mylde, if ony maner ye be hid in the dai of strong veniaunce of the Lord.
Funafunani Yehova, inu nonse odzichepetsa a mʼdziko, inu amene mumachita zimene amakulamulani. Funafunani chilungamo, funafunani kudzichepetsa; mwina mudzatetezedwa pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Yehova.
4 For Gasa schal be distried, and Ascalon schal be in to desert; thei schulen caste out Azotus in myddai, and Accaron schal be drawun out bi the root.
Gaza adzasiyidwa ndipo Asikeloni adzasanduka bwinja. Nthawi yamasana Asidodi adzakhala wopanda anthu ndipo Ekroni adzazulidwa.
5 Wo to you that dwellen in the litil part of the see, a folc of loste men. The word of the Lord on you, Canaan, the lond of Filisteis, and Y schal distrie thee, so that a dwellere be not;
Tsoka inu okhala mʼmbali mwa nyanja, inu mtundu wa Akereti; mawu a Yehova akutsutsa iwe Kanaani, dziko la Afilisti. “Ndidzakuwononga ndipo palibe amene adzatsale.”
6 and the litil part of the see schal be reste of scheepherdis, and foldis of scheep.
Dziko la mʼmbali mwa nyanja, kumene kumakhala Akereti, lidzakhala malo a abusa ndi la makola a nkhosa.
7 And it schal be a litil part of hym, that schal be left of the hous of Juda, there thei schulen be fed in the housis of Ascalon; at euentid thei schulen reste, for the Lord God of hem schal visite hem, and schal turne awei the caitifte of hem.
Malowa adzakhala a anthu otsala a nyumba ya Yuda; adzapezako msipu. Nthawi ya madzulo adzagona mʼnyumba za Asikeloni. Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawasamalira; adzabwezeretsa mtendere wawo.
8 Y herde the schenschip of Moab, and blasfemyes of sones of Amon, whiche thei seiden schentfuli to my puple, and thei weren magnefied on the termes of hem.
“Ndamva kunyoza kwa Mowabu ndi chipongwe cha Amoni, amene ananyoza anthu anga ndi kuopseza kuti alanda dziko lawo.
9 Therfor Y lyue, seith the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, for Moab schal be as Sodom, and the sones of Amon as Gomorre; drynesse of thornes, and hepis of salt, and desert, til in to withouten ende. The relifs of my puple schulen rauysche hem, the residues of my folc schulen welde hem.
Choncho, pali Ine Wamoyo,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, “Ndithu, Mowabu adzasanduka ngati Sodomu, Amoni adzasanduka ngati Gomora; malo a zomeramera ndi maenje a mchere, dziko la bwinja mpaka muyaya. Anthu anga otsala adzawafunkha; opulumuka a mtundu wanga adzalandira dziko lawo.”
10 Sotheli this thing schal come to hem for her pride, for thei blasfemeden, and weren magnefied on the puple of the Lord of oostis.
Ichi ndi chimene adzalandire chifukwa cha kunyada kwawo, chifukwa chonyoza ndi kuchitira chipongwe anthu a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
11 The Lord schal be orible on hem, and he schal make feble alle goddis of erthe; and men of her place schulen worschipe hym, alle the ilis of hethene men.
Yehova adzawachititsa mantha kwambiri pamene adzawononga milungu yonse ya mʼdzikomo. Ndipo mitundu ya anthu pa dziko lonse idzamulambira, uliwonse ku dziko la kwawo.
12 But and ye, Ethiopiens, schulen be slayn bi my swerd.
“Inunso anthu a ku Kusi, mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga.”
13 And he schal stretche forth his hond on the north, and schal leese Assur; and he schal putte the feir citee Nynyue in to wildirnesse, and into with out weie, and as desert.
Yehova adzatambasulira dzanja lake kumpoto ndi kuwononga Asiriya, kusiya Ninive atawonongekeratu ndi owuma ngati chipululu.
14 And flockis, and alle the beestis of folkis, schulen ligge in the myddil therof; and onacratalus, and irchun schulen dwelle in threshfoldis therof; vois of the syngynge in wyndow, and crow in the lyntil, for Y schal make thinne the strengthe therof.
Nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zidzagona pansi kumeneko, pamodzi ndi nyama zakuthengo za mtundu uliwonse. Akadzidzi a mʼchipululu ndi akanungu adzakhala pa nsanamira zake. Kulira kwawo kudzamveka mʼmazenera, mʼmakomo mwawo mudzakhala zinyalala zokhazokha, nsanamira za mkungudza zidzakhala poonekera.
15 This is the gloriouse citee dwellynge in trist, which seide in hir herte, Y am, and ther is noon other more withouten me. Hou is it maad vnto desert, a couche of beeste; ech man that schal passe bi it, schal hisse, and schal moue his hond.
Umenewu ndiye mzinda wosasamala umene kale unali wotetezedwa. Unkanena kuti mu mtima mwake, “Ine ndine, ndipo palibenso wina wondiposa.” Taonani lero wasanduka bwinja, kokhala nyama zakutchire! Onse owudutsa akuwunyoza ndi kupukusa mitu yawo.
