Zefaniya 3
1 Taki ta ƙare, ke birnin mai danniya, mai’yan tawaye da kuma masu ƙazanta!
Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
2 Ba kya yi wa kowa biyayya, ba kya kuma yarda da kuskurenki. Ba kya dogara ga Ubangiji, ba kya kuma kusatowa kusa da Allahnki.
She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.
3 Sarakunanki ruri ne na zakoki, shugabanninki kyarketan dare ne, waɗanda ba sa rage kome don safe.
Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.
4 Annabawanki mahaukata ne mutanenki masu cin amana ne. Firistocinki suna ƙazantar da Wurin Mai Tsarki suna kuma keta dokoki.
Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.
5 Ubangiji da yake cikinki mai adalci ne; ba ya yin abin da ba daidai ba. Kowace safiya yakan bayyana dokokinsa a fili, kowace sabuwar rana kuma ba ya kāsawa, duk da haka marasa adalci ba sa jin kunya.
The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
6 “Na daddatse al’ummai; an kuma rurrushe kagararsu. Na bar titunansu ba kowa, ba mai ratsawa a ciki. An ragargaza biranensu; ba wanda za a bari, babu ko ɗaya.
“I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.
7 Na ce wa birnin, ‘Tabbatacce za ki ji tsorona ki kuma yarda da gyara!’ Ta haka ba za a datse wurin zamanki ba, ba kuwa dukan hukuncena za su hau bisa kansu ba. Amma har yanzu suna marmari su yi rashin gaskiya a duk abin da suke yi.
I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me and accept correction.’ Then her dwelling place would not be cut off despite all for which I punished her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.
8 Saboda haka ku jira ni,” in ji Ubangiji; “a ranar da zan tsaya in ba da shaida, Na yanke shawara in tattara dukan al’ummai, in tattara mulkoki in kuma zuba fushina a kansu, da dukan zafin haushina. Za a mamaye dukan duniya da zafin fushina.
Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day I rise to testify. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation— all My burning anger. For all the earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy.
9 “Sa’an nan zan tsarkake leɓunan mutanen, don dukansu su kira bisa ga sunan Ubangiji su kuma yi masa hidima kafaɗa da kafaɗa.
For then I will restore pure lips to the peoples, that all may call upon the name of the LORD and serve Him shoulder to shoulder.
10 Tun daga ƙetaren rafuffukan Kush masu yi mini sujada, mutanena da suke a warwatse, za su kawo mini hadayu.
From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.
11 A wannan rana ba za ku sha kunya saboda laifofin da kuka yi mini, gama zan ɗauke wa wannan birni waɗanda suke farin ciki cikin girmankansu. Ba kuma za ka ƙara yin kallon reni a tuduna mai tsarki ba.
On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.
12 Amma zan zauna a cikinki masu tawali’u da masu ƙasƙantar da kai, waɗanda suke dogara ga sunan Ubangiji.
But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD.
13 Raguwar Isra’ila ba za su ƙara aikata abin da ba daidai ba, ba za su faɗa ƙarya ba, ba kuwa za a sami ruɗu a bakunansu ba. Za su ci su kuma kwanta kuma babu wanda zai ba su tsoro.”
The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”
14 Ki rera, ya Diyar Sihiyona; ki tā da murya, ya Isra’ila! Ki yi murna ki kuma yi farin ciki da dukan zuciyarki, Ya Diyar Urushalima!
Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!
15 Ubangiji ya ɗauke hukuncinki, ya mai da abokan gābanki baya. Ubangiji, Sarkin Isra’ila, yana tare da ke; ba kuma za ki ƙara jin tsoron wani lahani ba.
The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm.
16 A wannan rana za su cewa Urushalima, “Kada ki ji tsoro, ya Sihiyona; kada ki bar hannuwanki su raunana.
On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.
17 Ubangiji Allahnki yana tare da ke, mai iko ne don ceto. Zai yi matuƙar farin ciki da ke, zai rufe ki da ƙaunarsa, zai yi farin ciki da ke ta wurin rerawa.”
The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”
18 “Zan cire taƙaici daga gare ki a ƙayyadaddun bukukkuwa; su kaya ne da kuma zargi a gare ki.
“I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.
19 A wannan lokaci zan jijji wa waɗanda suka danne ku; zan kuɓutar da guragu in kuma tattara waɗanda suke a warwatse. Zan sa a yabe su a kuma girmama su a kowace ƙasar da aka kunyatar da su.
Behold, at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you. I will save the lame and gather the scattered; and I will appoint praise and fame for the disgraced throughout the earth.
20 A wannan lokaci zan tattara ku; a wannan lokaci zan kawo ku gida, zan sa a yabe ku a kuma girmama ku a cikin dukan mutanen duniya a sa’ad da na maido da arzikinku a idanunku,” in ji Ubangiji.
At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you. For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your captives before your very eyes,”
