< Zephaniah 1 >

1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Sofonye, sone of Chusi, sone of Godolie, sone of Amasie, sone of Ezechie, in the daies of Josie, the sone of Amon, king of Juda.
Ko e folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Sefanaia ko e foha ʻo Kusi, ko e foha ʻo Ketalia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmalia, ko e foha ʻo Hesikia, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Siosaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmoni, ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
2 Y gaderinge schal gadere alle thingis fro the face of erthe, seith the Lord;
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Te u fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē mei he fonua.
3 Y gaderynge man and beeste, Y gaderynge volatils of heuene, and fischis of the see; and fallyngis of vnpitouse men schulen be, and Y schal leese men fro face of erthe, seith the Lord.
Te u fakaʻauha ʻae tangata mo e manu; te u fakaʻauha ʻae fanga manu ʻoe langi, mo e ngaahi ika ʻoe tahi, mo e ngaahi tūkiaʻanga mo e kakai angahala: pea te u tuʻusi ʻae tangata mei he fonua, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova.
4 And Y schal stretche out myn hond on Juda, and on alle dwellers of Jerusalem; and Y schal lese fro this place the relifs of Baal, and the names of keperis of housis, with prestis;
Te u mafao atu foki ʻa hoku nima ki Siuta, pea ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema; pea te u tuʻusi mei he potu ni ʻae toenga ʻo Peali, mo e hingoa ʻo Kimalime, mo e ngaahi taulaʻeiki;
5 and hem that worschipen on roouys the knyythod of heuene, and worschipen, and sweren in the Lord, and sweren in Melchon;
Pea mo kinautolu ʻoku hū ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe langi ʻi he tuʻa fale, mo kinautolu ʻoku lotu mo fuakava ʻia Sihova, pea ʻoku fuakava ʻia Malikami;
6 and whiche ben turned awei bihynde the bak of the Lord, and whiche `souyten not the Lord, nether enserchiden hym.
Pea mo kinautolu kuo ʻikai ke kumi kia Sihova, pe fehuʻi kiate ia.”
7 Be ye stille fro the face of the Lord God, for niy is the dai of the Lord; for the Lord made redi a sacrifice, halewide hise clepid men.
Ke ke fakalongo pē ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻEiki ko e ʻOtua: he ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho ʻo Sihova: he kuo teuteu ʻe Sihova ʻae feilaulau, kuo ne tala ki heʻene kakai.
8 And it schal be, in the dai of sacrifice of the Lord, Y schal visite on princes, and on sones of the kyng, and on alle that ben clothid with pilgrimys, ether straunge, clothing.
Pea ʻe hoko ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe feilaulau ʻa Sihova, te u tautea ʻae houʻeiki, mo e fānau ʻae tuʻi, mo kinautolu kotoa pē kuo kofuʻaki ʻae kofu kehe.
9 And Y schal visite on ech that proudli entrith on the threisfold in that dai, whiche fillen the hous of her Lord God with wickidnesse and gile.
‌ʻI he ʻaho ko ia foki te u tautea ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku hopo ʻi he lakaʻanga ʻoe matapā, ʻaia ʻoku fakapito ʻae fale ʻo honau ngaahi ʻeiki ʻaki ʻae fakamālohi mo e kākā.
10 And ther schal be in that dai, seith the Lord, a vois of cry fro the yate of fischis, and yellynge fro the secounde yate, and greet defoulyng fro litle hillis.
‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, pea ʻe hoko ia ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe ai ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe tangi mei he matapā ika, mo e tāngiloa mei hono ua, mo e maumau lahi mei he ngaahi moʻunga.
11 Yelle ye, dwelleris of Pila; al the puple of Canaan was stille togidere, alle men wlappid in siluer perischiden.
Tangi ʻakimoutolu ʻae kakai ʻo Makitesi, he kuo tuʻusi ki lalo ʻae kakai fakatau kotoa pē: kuo tuʻusi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fua ʻae siliva.
12 And it schal be, in that tyme Y schal seke Jerusalem with lanternes, and Y schal visite on alle men piyt in her darstis, whiche seien in her hertis, The Lord schal not do wel, and he schal not do yuele.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻi he kuonga ko ia, te u hakule ʻa Selūsalema ʻaki ʻae ngaahi maama, pea tautea ʻae kakai ʻoku nau nofo fakafiemālie hifo: ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻi honau loto, “ʻE ʻikai fai ha lelei ʻe Sihova, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ha kovi.”
13 And the strengthe of hem schal be in to rauyschyng, and the housis of hem in to desert; and thei schulen bilde housis, and schulen not enhabite; and thei schulen plaunte vyneyerdis, and thei schulen not drynke the wyn of hem.
Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ʻa ʻenau koloa ko e vetea, mo honau ngaahi fale ko e fakaʻauha: te nau langa foki ʻae ngaahi fale, ka ʻe ʻikai nofo ai; pea te nau tō ai ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, ka ʻe ʻikai inu ʻi hono uaine.
14 Nyy is the greet dai of the Lord, niy and swift ful myche; the vois of the dai of the Lord is bittir, a strong man schal be in tribulacioun there.
‌ʻOku ofi ʻae ʻaho lahi ʻo Sihova, ʻio, ʻoku ofi ia, pea ʻoku fakatoʻotoʻo mai ʻaupito; ʻoku fakamamahi ʻae leʻo ʻoe ʻaho ʻo Sihova: ʻe toki tangi kalanga ai ʻae tangata mālohi.
15 `The ilke dai is a dai of wraththe, dai of tribulacioun and angwisch, dai of nedynesse and wretchidnesse, dai of derknessis and myist, dai of cloude and whirlewynd,
Ko e ʻaho ko ia ko e ʻaho ʻoe houhau, ko e ʻaho ʻoe tuʻutāmaki mo e mamahi, ko e ʻaho ʻoe maveuveu, mo e fakaʻauha, ko e ʻaho ʻoe poʻuli, mo e fakapoʻupoʻuli, ko e ʻaho ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, mo e poʻuli matolu,
16 dai of trumpe and noise on strong citees and on hiye corneris.
Ko e ʻaho ʻoe meʻalea, mo e kalanga ki he ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻāʻi, pea ki he ngaahi fale māʻolunga.
17 And Y schal troble men, and thei schulen walke as blynde, for thei han synned ayens the Lord; and the blood of hem schal be sched out as erthe, and the bodies of hem schulen be as tordis.
Pea te u ʻomi ʻae mamahi ki he kakai, ke nau ʻalu ʻo hangē ko e kakai kui, koeʻuhi kuo nau angahala kia Sihova: pea ʻe huaʻi honau toto ʻo hangē ko e efu, mo honau kakano ʻo hangē ko e kinohaʻa.
18 But and the siluer of hem, and gold of hem, schal not mowe delyuere hem in the dai of wraththe of the Lord; in fier of his feruour al erthe schal be deuourid, for he schal make ende with haastyng to alle men enhabitynge the erthe.
Pea ʻe ʻikai ke faʻa fakahaofi ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova ʻe heʻenau siliva, pe ko ʻenau koula; ka ʻe keina ʻae fonua kotoa ʻi he afi ʻo ʻene fuaʻa: he te ne fai ke ʻosi vave ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ʻi he fonua.
