Zefaniya 1
1 Domin mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. A kan kayan kiɗi masu tsirkiyata. Maganar Ubangiji da ta zo wa Zefaniya ɗan Kushi, ɗan Gedaliya, ɗan Amariya, ɗan Hezekiya, a zamanin Yosiya ɗan Amon sarkin Yahuda.
The word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 “Zan hallaka kome a fuskar duniya,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will utterly sweep away everything off of the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
3 “Zan hallaka mutane da dabbobi; zan kuma hallaka tsuntsayen sama da kifayen teku, da gumakan da suke sa mugaye su yi tuntuɓe.” “Sa’ad da zan kawar da mutum daga fuskar duniya,” in ji Ubangiji.
I will sweep away people and animals. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea, and the idols that cause the wicked to stumble. I will remove humankind from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.
4 “Zan miƙa hannuna gāba da Yahuda da kuma dukan mazaunan Urushalima. Zan datse raguwar Ba’al daga wannan wuri, da sunayen firistocin gumaka da na marasa sanin Allah,
I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the idolatrous priests along with the priests,
5 waɗanda suka rusuna a kan rufin ɗaki don su yi sujada ga rundunar taurari. Waɗanda suka rusuna suka kuma yi rantsuwa da sunan Ubangiji suke kuma rantsuwa da sunan Molek.
those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Milcom,
6 Waɗanda suka juya daga bin Ubangiji, ba sa kuma neman Ubangiji ko su nemi nufinsa.”
those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven't sought the LORD nor inquired after him.
7 Ku yi shiru a gaban Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, gama ranar Ubangiji ta yi kusa. Ubangiji ya shirya hadaya; ya kuma tsarkake waɗanda ya gayyato.
Be silent at the presence of the LORD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.
8 “A ranar hadayar Ubangiji zan hukunta sarakuna da kuma’ya’yan sarakuna da duk waɗanda suke sanye da rigunan ƙasashen waje.
It will happen in the day of the LORD's sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign attire.
9 A wannan rana zan hukunta dukan waɗanda suke kauce taka madogarar ƙofa, waɗanda suke cika haikalin allolinsu da rikici da ruɗu.
In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.
10 “A wannan rana,” in ji Ubangiji, “Za a ji kuka daga Ƙofar Kifi, kururuwa daga Sabon Mazauni, da kuma amo mai ƙarfi daga tuddai.
On that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.
11 Ku yi kururuwa, ku da kuke zaune a yankin kasuwa; za a hallaka dukan’yan kasuwanku, dukan waɗanda suke kasuwanci da azurfa za su lalace.
Wail, you inhabitants of the market district, for all the merchants will be destroyed, and all those who weigh out silver will be removed.
12 A wannan lokaci zan bincike Urushalima da fitilu in kuma hukunta waɗanda ba su kula ba, waɗanda suke kamar ruwan inabin da aka bar a ƙasan tukunya, waɗanda suke tsammani, ‘Ubangiji ba zai yi kome ba nagari ko mummuna.’
It will happen at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the people who are complacent, who say in their heart, "The LORD will not do good, nor will he do harm."
13 Za a washe dukiyarsu, a rurrushe gidajensu. Za su gina gidaje amma ba za su zauna a ciki ba; za su shuka inabi amma ba za su sha ruwansa ba.”
Their wealth will be looted and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won't inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won't drink their wine.
14 Babbar ranar Ubangiji ta yi kusa, ta yi kusa kuma tana zuwa da sauri. Ku saurara! Kukan ranar Ubangiji za tă yi zafi, za a ji kururuwan jarumi a can.
The great day of the LORD is near. Near and approaching very rapidly. The cry on the day of the LORD is bitter. In it the warrior shouts his battle cry.
15 Ranan nan za tă zama ranar fushi, rana ce ta baƙin ciki da azaba, rana ce ta tashin hankali da lalacewa, ranar duhu baƙi ƙirin, ranar gizagizai da baƙin duhu,
That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of devastation and ruin, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 rana ce ta busa ƙaho da kururuwar yaƙi gāba da birane masu mafaka, da kuma kusurwar hasumiyoyi.
a day of the trumpet and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
17 “Zan kawo baƙin ciki a kan mutane za su kuma yi tafiya kamar makafi, domin sun yi wa Ubangiji zunubi. Za a zubar da jininsu kamar ƙura kayan cikinsu kuma kamar najasa.
I will bring distress on the people, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.
18 Azurfarsu ko zinariyarsu ba za su iya cetonsu ba a ranar fushin Ubangiji.” A cikin zafin kishinsa za a hallaka dukan duniya gama zai kawo ƙarshen dukan mazaunan duniya nan da nan.
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will bring terrifying destruction on all the inhabitants of the land.
