Zepania 2
1 E HOAO ia oukou iho, a e hoaoia hoi, e ka lahuikanaka hilahila ole;
Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
2 Mamua o ka hiki ana mai o ka olelopaa, Mamua o ka hele ana o ka la e like me ka opala; Mamua mai o ke kau ana mai o ka inaina enaena o Iehova ia oukou; Mamua mai o ke kau ana mai o ka la o ko Iehova inaina ia oukou.
before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of YHWH comes on you, before the day of YHWH's anger comes on you.
3 E imi oukou ia Iehova, e ka poe akahai a pau o ka honua, Ka poe i hahai i kona makemake: E imi i ka pono, e imi i ke akahai; I maluhia ai paha oukou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina.
Seek YHWH, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of YHWH's anger.
4 No ka mea, e haaleleia auanei o Gaza, E neoneo auanei hoi o Asekelona. E hookukeia auanei o Asedoda i ka wa awakea, A e hookahuliia o Ekerona.
For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
5 Auwe ka poe e noho ana ma kahakai! O ka poe Kereti! ke ku e nei ka olelo a Iehova ia oukou. E Kanaana, ka aina o ko Pilisetia, E hoopau auanei au ia oe i koe ole kekahi kanaka.
Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites. The word of YHWH is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.
6 A e lilo auanei ka aina kahakai i wahi no na hale kahuhipa, a me na pahipa.
The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
7 A e lilo ua aina la no ke koena o ka ohana a Iuda; E ai auanei lakou iloko olaila: A i ke ahiahi, e moe lakou iloko o na hale o Asekelona; No ka mea, e ike mai auanei o Iehova ko lakou Akua ia lakou, A e hoihoi mai i ko lakou poe pio.
The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for YHWH, their God, will visit them, and restore them.
8 Ua lohe au i ka hoohewa ana mai a ka Moaba, A me ka olelo hoino ana a ka Amona, I ka mea a lakou i hoino ai i ko'u poe kanaka, A hookiekie ae la e ku e mai i ko lakou palena aina.
I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the people of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
9 Nolaila, ma kuu ola ana, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, O ke Akua no ka Iseraela, E like auanei o Moaba me Sodoma, a o ka Amona e like me Gomora, He nahelehele ooi, me na lua paakai, a me ka neoneo mau loa: Na ke koena o ko'u poe kanaka lakou e hao aku, A e lilo lakou no ke koena o ko'u poe kanaka.
Therefore as I live, says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the people of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
10 E hiki no ia mea ia lakou, no ko lakou hoohanohano ana, No ka olelo hoino ana a lakou i haanou ai, A me ka hookiekie ku e i ka poe kanaka o Iehova o na kaua.
This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of YHWH of hosts.
11 He mea hooweliweli auanei o Iehova ia lakou; No ka mea, e hoohoka auanei oia i na akua a pau o ka honua; A e hoomana aku ia ia ko na aina a pau o kanaka e, O kela mea keia mea ma kona wahi iho.
YHWH will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
12 Oukou no hoi, e ko Aitiopa, E houia auanei hoi oukou i kuu pahikaua.
You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
13 E o aku hoi oia i kona lima e ku e i ke kukulu akau, A e luku aku ia Asuria; a e hooneoneo ia Nineva, A panoa e like me ka waoakua.
He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
14 E moe iho na ohana hipa iloko ona, A me na holoholona a pau o na aina: E moe no hoi ka pelikana, a me ke kipoda maluna o na kia pohaku ona: E hookani ko lakou leo ma na puka makani ona; He neoneo ma na paepae puka, no ka mea, e weheia auanei na papa kedera ona.
Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
15 O keia ke kulanakauhale olioli i noho nanea, Ka mea i olelo iho iloko o kona naau, Owau wale no, aohe lua! Nani kona lilo ana i mea neoneo, kahi e moe ai na holoholona hihiu! O ka mea e maalo ana ae ia wahi, e kahaha ia me ka hooluliluli aku i kona lima.
This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in. Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
