Sofoni 1
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a ki te vini a Sophonie, fis a Cuschi a, fis a Guedalia, fis a Amaria, fis a Ézéchias, nan tan Josias, fis a Amon an, wa a Juda a.
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.
2 “Mwen va retire tout bagay nèt sou fas tè a”, deklare SENYÈ a.
Y gaderinge schal gadere alle thingis fro the face of erthe, seith the Lord;
3 Mwen va retire ni lòm, ni bèt. Mwen va retire zwazo syèl yo ak pwason lanmè yo, ansanm ak pil fatra yo ak moun mechan yo. Mwen va koupe retire lòm soti sou fas tè a, deklare SENYÈ a.
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.
4 Konsa Mwen va lonje men M kont Juda e kont tout sila ki rete Jérusalem yo. Mwen va koupe retire retay a Baal la nan plas sa a ak non a tout prèt zidòl yo,
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;
5 sila ki adore sou twati kay, lame syèl yo, sila ki adore yo ki fè sèman pa SENYÈ a, e ki an menm tan, fè sèman pa Milcom,
and hem that worschipen on roouys the knyythod of heuene, and worschipen, and sweren in the Lord, and sweren in Melchon;
6 sila ki te vire fè bak pou yo pa swiv SENYÈ yo, ak sila ki pa t ni chache ni mande pou SENYÈ a.”
and whiche ben turned awei bihynde the bak of the Lord, and whiche `souyten not the Lord, nether enserchiden hym.
7 Fè silans devan Senyè BONDYE a! Paske jou SENYÈ a pre rive. Paske Bondye te prepare yon sakrifis. Li te konsakre envite Li yo.
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.
8 Li va vin rive nan jou sakrifis SENYÈ a, ke mwen va pini prens yo, fis a wa yo, ak tout sila ki abiye ak vètman etranje yo.
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.
9 Mwen va pini nan jou sa a tout sila ki sote anlè papòt tanp yo, ki plen kay mèt yo ak vyolans ak desepsyon.
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.
10 Nan jou sa a, deklare SENYÈ a, va gen son a yon gwo kri soti nan Pòtay Pwason an, yon kri: “Anmwey” soti nan dezyèm katye a, ak yon gwo bri eklatman soti nan kolin yo.
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.
11 Rele “Anmwey!”, O nou menm k ap viv Macthesch. Paske tout pèp Canaran an va pe bouch yo nèt. Tout sila ki chaje avèk ajan yo va vin koupe retire nèt.
Yelle ye, dwelleris of Pila; al the puple of Canaan was stille togidere, alle men wlappid in siluer perischiden.
12 Li va vin rive nan lè sa a ke Mwen va chache tout Jérusalem ak lanp, e mwen va pini moun ki deside sou sa yo fin bwe, k ap di nan kè yo: “SENYÈ a p ap fè byen, ni Li p ap fè mal!”
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.
13 Konsa, richès yo va tounen piyaj e lakay yo va vin devaste. Wi, yo va bati kay, men yo p ap rete ladan yo. Yo va plante chan rezen, men yo p ap bwè diven yo.
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.
14 Pre rive se gran jou SENYÈ a, pre rive, e l ap pwoche byen vit. Koute vwa a, jou a SENYÈ a! Nan jou sa a, gèrye a va kriye amè.
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.
15 Jou sa a se yon jou kòlè ak chalè, yon jou gwo twoub ak rele anmwey, yon jou destriksyon ak dezolasyon, yon jou tenèb ak dekourajman, youn jou nwaj yo ak gwo fènwa a.
`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,
16 Yon jou twonpèt ak kri batay kont vil fòtifye yo, e kont gwo ranpa yo.
dai of trumpe and noise on strong citees and on hiye corneris.
17 Mwen va mennen gwo pwoblèm sou lezòm, pou yo vin mache tankou moun avèg, akoz yo te peche kont SENYÈ a. Konsa, san yo va vide tankou pousyè e chè yo kon fimye bèt.
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.
18 Ni ajan yo, ni lò yo p ap kapab delivre yo nan jou jijman an, men tout latè va vin devore nèt pa dife jalouzi Li. Paske Li va mete yon fen, yon fen ki tèrib, a tout moun ki rete sou tè a.
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.
