Zefanaia 1

1 Ra Anumzamo'a ama nanekema Zefanaiama ami'neana, Amoni nemofo Josia'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'nea knafi ami'ne. Hagi Zefanaia nefa'a Kusiki, Kusi nefa'a Gedaliaki, Gedalia nefa'a Amariaki, Amaria nefa'a Hezekaia'e.

The LORD’s word which 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 Nagra ama mopamofo agofetu'ma me'nea zantamina maka eri harafi hutregahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I will utterly sweep away everything from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

3 Maka vahe'ene zagagafanena ruharafi hutre vaganere'na, anamifima hare'za vanoma nehaza namaramine, hagerimpi nozameraminena ruharafi hutre vagaregahue. Havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahera zamahe vagarete'na magopi zmamavufga'a erinte hihi hanuge'za tetemukna nehanagena, ama mopamofo agofetutira maka vahera zamahe vagaregahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I will sweep away man and animal. I will sweep away the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and the heaps of rubble with the wicked. I will cut off man from the surface of the earth, says the LORD.

4 Juda mopafima nemaniza vahete'ene Jerusalemi ran kumapima nemaniza vahetera nazana rusute'na zamazeri haviza hugahue. Bali havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'ma, ama ana mopa'afima osi'ama manisazama'a maka zamahe vaganere'na, ana havi anumzaraminte'ma pristi eri'zama e'neriza vahe'enena zamahe vagarenugeno zamagia omanegahie.

I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place—the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,

5 Ana vahe'mo'za nozamimofo agofetu mareri'za mani'ne'za, zagere'ene ikante'ene ofuraminte'ene zamarena re'za monora hunezamantaze. Zamagra Ra Anumzamofo amage nentone nehu'za, Moleki havi anumzante monora nehaze.

those who worship the army of the sky on the housetops, those who worship and swear by the LORD and also swear by Malcam,

6 Ko'ma Ra Anumzamo'na namage'ma antete'za natre'naza vahe'mo'za, kegavama hunezamante'na asomuma huzmante'sanugura nantahia nonkaze.

those who have turned back from following the LORD, and those who haven’t sought the LORD nor inquired after him.

7 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma refko hunezamanteno keagama huzmantesania knamo'a hago kofta nehianki, Agri avurera keaga osu akoheta emaniho. Zgagafama aheno kresramnama viaza huno Ra Anumzamo'a, Agra vahe'a zamahenaku trotra nehie. Ana nehuno zamagri'ma zamazeri havizama hanaza vahera ko zamagi hu'ne.

Be silent at the presence of the Lord GOD, for the day of the LORD is at hand. For the LORD has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

8 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, anama zamahe'nua kna knazupa, Juda vahe'mofo kva vahetamine, kini vahe'mokizmi mofavre naga'ene, ru vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zamavama nevaririza vahe'enena knazana zamina zamazeri haviza hugahue.

It will happen in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice that I will punish the princes, the king’s sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.

9 Megi'a vahe'mokizmi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'ene vahe'mokizmi fenozama zamahe'za nehanare'za, havigema hu'za fenozama eri'za kva ne' zamimofo nompima eme nentaza vahe'enena ana zupa zamazeri haviza hugahue.

In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.

10 Ra Anumzamo'a huno ana zupa, ran kumamofona nozame kafanteti mago ran krafage hugahie. Ana hanigeno zamasunku'ma huza zavi'ma atesaza krafagemo'a ran kumapina vuno eno hugahie. Ana'ma nehanigeno'a agonaramimpintira ra agasasa neranigeta antahigahaze.

In that day, says the LORD, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.

11 Maketi kumapima mani'naza vahe'mota tamazana kofita zaviteho. Na'ankure maka zama zagore'ma eme netraza vahe'ene zagoma rezahe'ma nehaza vahe'enena fanane hugahaze.

Wail, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are undone! All those who were loaded with silver are cut off.

12 Ana knafina Jerusalemi kumapima hanima hu'nea ma'afima mani'nezama kumi avu'ava'ma nehu'za, oku'a nehune hu'za nehu'za zamagrama antahi'zana, Ra Anumzamo'a mago knare zano mago havizana osugahie hu'za nehaza vahe'mokizmia, ramu tavi'ni'a tagina hakre'na zamazeri haviza hugahue.

It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, “The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.”

13 Zamagri fenozana vahe'mo'za eme agu'za neru'za, nozamia tapage hutregahaze. Ana hanage'za nozamia kasefa kigahazanagi, ana nontamimpina omasegahaze. Waini hoza antegahazanagi, raga'a tagi'za tima'a onegahaze.

Their wealth will become a plunder, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won’t inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won’t drink their wine.

14 Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma keaga hunezamanteno refko'ma huzmantesania knamo'a hago kofta nehiankino, ame huno ana knamo'a efore hugahie. Ana knama efore'ma hania knazupa, hankave sondia vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa hugahaze.

The great day of the LORD is near. It is near and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of the LORD. The mighty man cries there bitterly.

15 E'i ana kna Anumzamofo arimpa ahekna efore hugahiankino, vahe'mo'a hazenkezampi manino nomaniza mani so'ea nosanigeno, tusi'a hazenkeza fore hina maka zamo'a havizantfa nehanigeno, hanima haniana tusi hani huno rentrako hugahie. Ana nehanigeno hampomo'a kintrako hanigeno hanintiri hugahie.

That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,

16 Ana knafina ufe krafamo'a tusiza nehanigeno, sondia vahe'mo'za ibimo agazamo nehu'za erintagu hu'za hankave vihu kegina me'negeno, kuma kegava nehaza za'za nontamima me'nea ranra kumatamintega vugahaze.

a day of the trumpet and alarm against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.

17 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri navufima kumi'ma hu'nazagu hu'na hazenke zana atrenugeno eno eme tamazeri haviza hanigeta, zamavu suhu vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta rege'rege huta vano hugahaze. Tamagri koramo'a kugusopafi tagi neramisanigeno, tamavufgamo'a mopafi me'neno kasrino rifagna huno hi'mna vugahie.

I will bring such distress on men that they will walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.

18 Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe' zamo'ma esania knazupa, silvane golinema ante'naza zamo'a tamagura ovazigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zamo'a, tevegna huno ama mopa teno erihana hugahie. Tamagerfa huno, maka ama mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za, antri hanazaza huno zamahe vagaregahie.

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.
