Sofonias 1
1 Kastoy ti sao ni Yahweh a dimteng kenni Sofonias, a putot a lalaki ni Cusi, a putot ni Gedalias, a putot ni Amanias, a putot ni Hesekias, kadagiti aldaw a ni Josias nga anak ni Amon ti ari ti Juda.
A word of YHWH that has been to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezikiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amoz, king of Judah:
2 Kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— “Dadaelekto dagiti amin a banbanag iti rabaw ti daga!
“I utterly consume all from off the face of the ground,” A declaration of YHWH.
3 Dadaelekto ti tao ken dagiti narungsot nga ayup; dadaelekto dagiti billit iti tangatang ken dagiti lames iti baybay, dagiti dadael a karaman dagiti nadangkes! Ta pukawekto ti tao iti rabaw ti daga!” —kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
“I consume man and beast, I consume bird of the heavens, and fishes of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks—the wicked, And I have cut off man from the face of the ground,” A declaration of YHWH,
4 Iyunnatkonto ti imak iti Juda ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Jerusalem. Pukawekto ti tunggal nabatbati nga agdaydayaw kenni Baal iti daytoy a lugar ken dagiti nagnagan dagiti agdaydayaw kadagiti didiosen kadagiti papadi,
“And I have stretched out My hand against Judah, And against all inhabiting Jerusalem, And cut off from this place the remnant of Ba‘al, The name of the idolatrous priests, with the priests,
5 dagiti tattao nga adda iti tuktok dagiti balbalay nga agdaydayaw iti init, bulan ken bituen, ken dagiti tattao nga agdaydayaw ken agsapata kenni Yahweh ngem agsapatada met kenni Milcom.
And those bowing themselves On the roofs to the host of the heavens, And those bowing themselves, Swearing to YHWH, and swearing by Malcham,
6 Pukawekto met dagiti saanen a simmurot kenni Yahweh, uray dagiti saan a mangbirok kenni Yahweh wenno agkiddaw iti panangidalanna.”
And those removing from after YHWH, And who have not sought YHWH, nor implored Him.”
7 Agulimekkayo iti presensia ti Apo a Yahweh, ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh; gapu ta insaganan ni Yahweh ti sakripisio ken indatonnan dagiti sangailina.
Hush! Because of Lord YHWH, For near [is the] Day of YHWH, For YHWH has prepared a sacrifice, He has sanctified His invited ones.
8 “Mapasamakto iti aldaw ti panangidaton ni Yahweh, a dusaekto dagiti prinsipe ken dagiti annak dagiti ari, ken dagiti amin a nakakawes iti ganggannaet a pagan-anay.
“And it has come to pass, In the day of the sacrifice of YHWH, That I have laid a charge on the heads, And on sons of the king, And on all putting on strange clothing.
9 Iti dayta nga aldaw dusaekto dagiti amin a sumrek iti ruangan, dagiti mangpunno iti kinaranggas ken panangallilaw iti balay iti amoda!
And I have laid a charge on everyone Who is leaping over the threshold in that day, Who are filling the house of their masters [With] violence and deceit.
10 Isu a mapasamakto iti dayta nga aldaw”— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh —“nga aggapunto iti Ruangan ti Lames ti sangit ti kinarigat, ti dung-aw manipud iti Maikaddua a Distrito, ken ti napigsa unay a daranudor manipud kadagiti turod.
And there has been in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “The noise of a cry from the Fish Gate, And of a howling from the Second [Quarter], And of great destruction from the hills.
11 Agdung-awkayo, dakayo nga agnanaed iti Distrito ti Pagtagilakoan, ta madadaelto amin dagiti aglaklako; mapapatayto amin dagiti agtitimbang kadagiti pirak.
Howl, you inhabitants of the hollow place, For all the merchant people have been cut off, All carrying silver have been cut off.
12 Dumtengto iti dayta a tiempo a sukimatekto ti Jerusalem babaen kadagiti pagsilawan ken dusaek dagiti tattao a mangipagarup a natalgedda ket kunaenda iti pusoda, 'Awanto ti aniaman nga aramiden ni Yahweh, naimbag man wenno dakes!'
And it has come to pass at that time, I search Jerusalem with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their heart: YHWH does no good, nor does He do evil.
13 Masamsamto dagiti kinabaknangda ken mabaybay-anto a madadael dagiti balbalayda. Agpatakderdanto kadagiti babalay ngem saanda nga agnaed kadagitoy, ken agmulada kadagiti kaubasan ngem saanda nga uminom iti arakda!
And their wealth has been for a spoil, And their houses for desolation, And they have built houses, and do not inhabit, And they have planted vineyards, And they do not drink their wine.”
14 Asidegen ti naindaklan nga aldaw ni Yahweh, asidegen ken napardas unay! Agbalinto a nasaem a panagsangsangit ti maysa a mannakigubat ti uni iti aldaw ni Yahweh!
Near [is] the Great Day of YHWH, Near, and hastening exceedingly, The noise of the Day of YHWH, There a mighty one bitterly shrieks.
15 Dayta nga aldaw ket aldaw ti pungtot, maysa nga aldaw ti riribuk ken leddaang, aldaw ti bagyo ken pannakadadael, maysa nga aldaw ti sipnget ken lulem, maysa nga aldaw dagiti ulep ken kasta unay a kinasipnget!
A day of wrath [is] that day, A day of adversity and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness,
16 Aldawto daytoy dagiti trumpeta ken pakdaar a maibusor kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad ken kadagiti nangato a pagwanawanan!
A day of horn and shouting against the fortified cities, And against the high corners.
17 Ta iyegkonto ti kinarigat iti sangkataoan, tapno magnadanto a kasla bulsek a tattao agsipud ta nagbasolda kenni Yahweh! Maibukbukto ti darada a kasla tapuk, ken maibukbukto ti nagunegda a kasla rugit!
“And I have sent distress to men, And they have walked as the blind, For against YHWH they have sinned, And poured out is their blood as dust, And their flesh [is] as dung.”
18 Awanto ti makaisalakan kadakuada, uray pay ti pirak wenno ti balitokda iti aldaw ti pungtot ni Yahweh! Ti apuy ti pungtot ni Yahweh ti mangibusto iti entero a daga, ta nakabutbutengto ti kanibusanan nga iyegna kadagiti agnanaed iti daga!”
Even their silver, even their gold, is not able to deliver them in a day of the wrath of YHWH, and in the fire of His jealousy is the whole land consumed, for He makes only a hurried end of all the inhabitants of the land!
