Sofonias 2
1 Agkaykaysakayo nga agtitipon ket aguummongkayo, O nasion nga awan babainna—
Come together, yes, gather together, you worthless nation—
2 sakbay a maipatungpal ti bilin, sakbay iti panaglabas ti aldaw a maiyarig iti taep, sakbay a dumteng ti nakaro a pungtot ni Yahweh kadakayo! Sakbay a dumteng ti aldaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh kadakayo!
before the decree is issued, before you wither and die like a flower, before the burning anger of the Lord falls on you, before the day of the Lord's anger comes on you.
3 Birukenyo ni Yahweh, dakayo amin a napakumbaba a tattao iti rabaw ti daga nga agtultulnog kadagiti bilinna! Birukenyo ti kinalinteg! Birukenyo ti kinapakumbaba, ket nalabit a masalaknibankayonto iti aldaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh!
Look to the Lord, all you people of the land who are humble and who follow his commands. Look to do what is right; look to live in humility. Perhaps you will be protected on the day of the Lord's anger.
4 Ta mabaybay-anto ti Gaza, ken madadaelto ti Askelon! Papanawendanto ti Asdod iti katengngaan ti aldaw, ken parutendanto ti Ekron!
Gaza will be abandoned, Ashkelon will become desolate, Ashdod will be emptied by noon, Ekron will be ripped up.
5 Asi pay dagiti agnanaed iti igid ti baybay, ti nasion dagiti taga-Keretim! Nagsao ni Yahweh a maibusor kadakayo, O Canaan, daga dagiti Filisteo! Dadaelenkanto agingga nga awan matda nga agnanaed!
What disaster is coming to you Philistines, you sea-people who live along the coast and in the land of Canaan! The Lord has passed judgment on you. I will destroy you—there will be no survivors.
6 Agbalinto ngarud a pagaraban ti igid ti baybay para kadagiti agpaspastor ken pangiyapunan ti karnero.
Your seacoast will become pastures, with meadows for shepherds and sheep pens for flocks.
7 Kukuanto dagiti nakalasat iti kaputotan ti Juda ti rehion iti igid ti baybay, a mangipastorto kadagiti arbanda sadiay. Agiddanto dagiti tattaoda iti rabii kadagiti balbalay ti Askelon, ta aywananto ida ni Yahweh a Diosda ken isublina dagiti kinarang-ayda.
It will belong to those who remain of the people of Judah. They will graze their flocks there, and the shepherds will sleep in the abandoned houses of Ashkelon. For the Lord their God will be with them and make them prosperous again.
8 Nangngegko dagiti panangum-umsi ti Moab ken ti pananglalais dagiti tattao ti Ammon idi inumsida dagiti tattaok ken linabsingda dagiti beddengda.
I have heard the mocking taunts of the Moabites and the scornful derision of the Ammonites who have insulted my people and made threats against their territory.
9 Ngarud, iti Naganko nga adda iti agnanayon”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, “Agbalinto ti Moab a kas iti Sodoma, ken dagiti tattao ti Ammon ket kas iti Gomorra; karuruotan a lugar ken pagaramidan ti asin, a langalangto iti agnanayon! Ngem samsamanto ida dagiti matda kadagiti tattaok, ket agtawidto dagiti nabatbati iti nasionko manipud kadagitoy!
Consequently, as I live, declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, the Moabites will become like Sodom, and the Ammonites like Gomorrah. Their land will become a place of weeds and salt pits and ruins forever. Those who remain of my people will plunder them and occupy their land.
10 Mapasamakto daytoy iti Moab ken Ammon gapu iti kinatangsitda, agsipud ta inumsi ken inuyawda dagiti tattao ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin!
This is what they will receive for their pride because they mocked and threatened the people of the Lord Almighty.
11 Ket agbutengdanto kenni Yahweh, gapu ta umsiennanto dagiti amin a didios iti daga. Agdayawdanto amin kenkuana, tunggal maysa iti bukodna a lugar, kadagiti amin nga igid ti baybay!
The Lord will make them terribly afraid as he starves to death all the gods of the land. Every nation will worship the Lord wherever they are—all around the world.
12 Dakayo a Cusita, maduyokkayonto met babaen iti kampilanko, ken
You Ethiopians will be killed by the sword.
13 rautento ti ima ti Dios ti amianan ken dadaelenna ti Asiria, tapno agbalinto a langalang ti Nineve, kas kamaga iti let-ang.
The Lord will strike the Assyrians in the north and destroy them. He will make Nineveh desolate, a dry wasteland like the desert.
14 Ket agiddanto dagiti arban iti tengnga ti Asiria, amin a narungsot nga ayup kadagiti nasion, ken agumokto dagiti billit ken kullaaw kadagiti tuktok dagiti adigina. Addanto ti agpukkaw kadagiti tawa ken aguninto dagiti uwak kadagiti agdanda, gapu ta imparangna dagiti sorelas a sedro.
Herds will lie down in the middle of the city. It will become the home for every kind of wild animal. Eagle owls and screech owls will roost on its columns. Their calls will echo through the windows. Rubble will block the doors, and the cedar woodwork will be exposed.
15 Daytoy ti nakaragragsak a siudad nga agbibiag nga awan butengna, a kunana iti pusona, “Siak, ken awanen ti kapadak!” Anian a nakaam-amak ti nagbalinanna, nagbalin a maysa a lugar a pagiddaan dagiti narurungsot nga ayup! Tunggal maysa a lumabas iti daytoy ket agsakuntipto ken isiniasna ti imana!
This is what will happen to this triumphant city that thought it was so secure. “Look at me!” it said proudly to itself. “There is no city as great as me!” But it has become a desolate place—just a home for wild animals. Everyone who passes by will point their finger and laugh in derision.
