< Zephaniah 2 >
1 Bend yourselves, yea, bend ye, O nation not desired,
Agkaykaysakayo nga agtitipon ket aguummongkayo, O nasion nga awan babainna—
2 Before the bringing forth of a statute, As chaff hath the day passed on, While yet not come in upon you doth the heat of the anger of Jehovah, While yet not come in upon you doth a day of the anger of Jehovah,
sakbay a maipatungpal ti bilin, sakbay iti panaglabas ti aldaw a maiyarig iti taep, sakbay a dumteng ti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh kadakayo! Sakbay a dumteng ti aldaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh kadakayo!
3 Seek Jehovah, all ye humble of the land, Who His judgment have done, Seek ye righteousness, seek humility, It may be ye are hidden in a day of the anger of Jehovah.
Birukenyo ni Yahweh, dakayo amin a napakumbaba a tattao iti rabaw ti daga nga agtultulnog kadagiti bilinna! Birukenyo ti kinalinteg! Birukenyo ti kinapakumbaba, ket nalabit a masalaknibankayonto iti aldaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh!
4 For Gaza is forsaken, And Ashkelon [is] for a desolation, Ashdod! at noon they do cast her forth, And Ekron is rooted up.
Ta mabaybay-anto ti Gaza, ken madadaelto ti Askelon! Papanawendanto ti Asdod iti katengngaan ti aldaw, ken parutendanto ti Ekron!
5 Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the Cherethites, A word of Jehovah [is] against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an inhabitant.
Asi pay dagiti agnanaed iti igid ti baybay, ti nasion dagiti taga-Keretim! Nagsao ni Yahweh a maibusor kadakayo, O Canaan, daga dagiti Filisteo! Dadaelenkanto agingga nga awan matda nga agnanaed!
6 And the sea-coast hath been habitations, Cottages [for] shepherds, and folds [for] a flock.
Agbalinto ngarud a pagaraban ti igid ti baybay para kadagiti agpaspastor ken pangiyapunan ti karnero.
7 And the coast hath been for the remnant of the house of Judah, By them they have pleasure, In houses of Ashkelon at even they lie down, For inspect them doth Jehovah their God, And He hath turned back [to] their captivity.
Kukuanto dagiti nakalasat iti kaputotan ti Juda ti rehion iti igid ti baybay, a mangipastorto kadagiti arbanda sadiay. Agiddanto dagiti tattaoda iti rabii kadagiti balbalay ti Askelon, ta aywananto ida ni Yahweh a Diosda ken isublina dagiti kinarang-ayda.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the revilings of the sons of Ammon, Wherewith they reproached My people, And magnify [themselves] against their border.
Nangngegko dagiti panangum-umsi ti Moab ken ti pananglalais dagiti tattao ti Ammon idi inumsida dagiti tattaok ken linabsingda dagiti beddengda.
9 Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a desolation — unto the age. A residue of My people do seize them, And a remnant of My nation inherit them.
Ngarud, iti Naganko nga adda iti agnanayon”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, “Agbalinto ti Moab a kas iti Sodoma, ken dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket kas iti Gomorra; karuruotan a lugar ken pagaramidan ti asin, a langalangto iti agnanayon! Ngem samsamanto ida dagiti matda kadagiti tattaok, ket agtawidto dagiti nabatbati iti nasionko manipud kadagitoy!
10 This [is] to them for their arrogancy, Because they have reproached, And they magnify [themselves] against the people of Jehovah of Hosts.
Mapasamakto daytoy iti Moab ken Ammon gapu iti kinatangsitda, agsipud ta inumsi ken inuyawda dagiti tattao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin!
11 Fearful [is] Jehovah against them, For He made bare all gods of the land, And bow themselves to Him, each from his place, Do all islanders of the nations.
Ket agbutengdanto kenni Yahweh, gapu ta umsiennanto dagiti amin a didios iti daga. Agdayawdanto amin kenkuana, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a lugar, kadagiti amin nga igid ti baybay!
12 Also ye, O Cushim, pierced of My sword [are] they.
Dakayo a Cusita, maduyokkayonto met babaen iti kampilanko, ken
13 And He stretcheth His hand against the north, And doth destroy Asshur, And he setteth Nineveh for a desolation, A dry land like a wilderness.
rautento ti ima ti Dios ti amianan ken dadaelenna ti Asiria, tapno agbalinto a langalang ti Nineve, kas kamaga iti let-ang.
14 And crouched in her midst have droves, Every beast of the nation, Both pelican and hedge-hog in her knobs lodge, A voice doth sing at the window, 'Destruction [is] at the threshold, For the cedar-work is exposed.'
Ket agiddanto dagiti arban iti tengnga ti Asiria, amin a narungsot nga ayup kadagiti nasion, ken agumokto dagiti billit ken kullaaw kadagiti tuktok dagiti adigina. Addanto ti agpukkaw kadagiti tawa ken aguninto dagiti uwak kadagiti agdanda, gapu ta imparangna dagiti sorelas a sedro.
15 This [is] the exulting city that is dwelling confidently, That is saying in her heart, 'I [am], and beside me there is none,' How hath she been for a desolation, A crouching-place for beasts, Every one passing by her doth hiss, He doth shake his hand!
Daytoy ti nakaragragsak a siudad nga agbibiag nga awan butengna, a kunana iti pusona, “Siak, ken awanen ti kapadak!” Anian a nakaam-amak ti nagbalinanna, nagbalin a maysa a lugar a pagiddaan dagiti narurungsot nga ayup! Tunggal maysa a lumabas iti daytoy ket agsakuntipto ken isiniasna ti imana!
