Zepania 1
1 O KA olelo a Iehova, ka mea i hiki mai io Zepania la i ke keiki a Kusi, ke keiki a Gedalia, ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Hizekia, i na la o Iosia ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda.
The word of the Lord that 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 E lawe loa aku auanei au i na mea a pau mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
While gathering, I will gather together all things from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
3 E lawe auanei au i na kanaka a me na holoholona; E lawe auanei au i na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea e hina ai, me ka poe hewa; A e hooki iho hoi au i na kanaka mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
I will gather man and cattle; I will gather the flying things of the air and the fish of the sea. And the impious will be a catastrophe. And I will disperse men before the face of the earth, says the Lord.
4 E kau aku hoi au i kuu lima maluna o ka Iuda, A me na kanaka a pau o Ierusalema: A e hooki iho au i ke koena o ko Baala, mai keia wahi aku, A me ka inoa o na mea hoomanakii a me na kahuna hoi;
And I will extend my hand over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will disperse from this place the remnant of Baal, and the names of the administrators along with the priests,
5 A me ka poe hoomana i ka puali o ka lani maluna o na hale; A me ka poe hoomana, a hoohiki hoi ma Iehova, A me ka hoohiki ma Malekama;
and those who adore the military campaign over the ceiling of the sky, both those who adore and swear by the Lord, and those who swear by Melchom,
6 A me ka poe i hoi ihope mai o Iehova aku; A me ka poe aole i imi ia Iehova, aole hoi i ninau aku nona.
both those who turn aside from following after the Lord, and those who have not sought the Lord, nor inquired about him.
7 E hamau oe ma ke alo o Iehova ka Haku: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ka la o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau mai la o Iehova i ka mohai, A ua hoolaa iho la oia i kona poe hoaai.
Be silent before the face of the Lord God. For the day of the Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared a victim, he has sanctified those he has called.
8 A i ka la o ko Iehova mohai ana, E hoopai auanei au i na alii a me na keiki a ke alii, A me ka poe a pau i aahuia i na kapa e.
And this shall be: in the day of the victim of the Lord, I will visit upon the leaders, and upon the sons of the king, and upon all who have been clothed with strange garments.
9 Ia la no, e hoopai au i ka poe a pau e lele ana maluna o ka paepae puka, A e hoopiha i ka hale o ko lakou haku i na mea i hao wale ia a me ka hoopunipuni.
And I will visit upon all who enter arrogantly over the threshold in that day, those who fill the house of the Lord their God with iniquity and deceit.
10 A ia la no, wahi a Iehova, He leo no ka uwe ana mai ka puka-ia mai, A he aoa ana mai ka apana alua mai, A me ka luku nui ana mai na puu mai.
And this shall be in that day, says the Lord: the voice of an outcry from the fish gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great contrition from the hills.
11 E kanikau oukou, e na kanaka o Maketesa; No ka mea, ua hookiia ae na kanaka kuai a pau; O ka poe a pau i kaumaha i ke kala, ua okiia.
Howl, inhabitants of the Pillar. All the people of Canaan have fallen silent. All were ruined who had been wrapped in silver.
12 Ia manawa no, e huli iho no wau ia Ierusalema me na kukui, A e hoopai i ka poe e noho paakiki ana maluna o ko lakou maku; E olelo ana iloko o ko lakou naau, Aole e hana mai ana o Iehova i ka maikai, aole hoi e hana ia i ka ino.
And this shall be in that time: I will scrutinize Jerusalem with lamps, and I will visit upon the men who have become stuck in the dregs, who say in their hearts, “The Lord will not do good, and he will not do evil.”
13 Nolaila, e lilo auanei ko lakou waiwai i pio, A me na hale o lakou i neoneo: E kapili lakou i na hale, aole hoi e noho iloko; E kanu lakou i na malawaina, aole hoi e inu i ka waina olaila.
And their strength will be in plundering, and their houses in the desert. And they will build houses and not dwell in them, and they will plant vineyards and not drink their wine.
14 Ua kokoke mai ka la nui o Iehova, ua kokoke mai, A e wikiwiki loa mai ana ka leo no ka la o Iehova: Ilaila e uwe nui ai ke kanaka ikaika.
The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and exceedingly swift. The voice of the day of the Lord is bitter; the strong will be tested there.
15 He la no ka inaina ua la la, He la popilikia a me ka poino, He la e hao wale ia'i a me ka hooneoneo, He la pouli wale a me ka poeleele, He la e uhi mai ai na ao a me ka pouli paapu,
That day is a day of wrath, a day of tribulation and anguish, a day of calamity and misery, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and whirlwinds,
16 He la o ka pu kani a me ka hookani ana, E ku e i na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na halekiai kiekie.
a day of the trumpet and the trumpet blast over fortified cities and over exalted ramparts.
17 A e hoopilikia no wau i na kanaka, I hele ai lakou e like me na makapo, No ka mea, ua hana hewa aku lakou ia Iehova; A e nininiia aku ko lakou koko e like me ka lepo, A o ko lakou io e like me ka opala.
And I will trouble men, and they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord. And their blood will be poured out like soil, and their bodies like manure.
18 Aole hoi e hiki i ka lakou kala, Aole hoi i ka lakou gula ke hoopakele ia lakou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina; Aka, e pau auanei ka aina a pau i ke ahi o kona lili ana; No ka mea e hoopau koke ana oia i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
Neither their silver, nor their gold, will be able to free them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. All the land will be devoured in the fire of his zeal, for with all speed, he will bring to consummation every inhabitant of the land.
