Zefanaia 3

1 Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota kva hiho, na'ankure ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota keontahi havi avu'ava huta vahera zamazeri haviza nehuta, kumara eri pehena hu'naze.

This is the scornful city that dwells securely, that says in her heart, I am, and there is no longer any [to be] after me: how is she become desolate, a habitation of wild beasts! every one that passes through her shall hiss, and shake his hands. Alas the glorious and ransomed city.

2 Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za kea runetagre'za, zamavumro'ma anteankea antahi'za novaririze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzantera zamentintia nosu'za, Agritera erava'oa nosaze.

The dove hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord, and she drew not near to her God.

3 Jerusalemi kumate kva vahe'mo'za, laionimo ran krafa huno vano nehiankna nehazage'za, keagama refko'ma nehaza kva vahe'mo'za, kinagafima vanoma nehaza afi kramo'za kenage zagagafa ahe'za nevaga retazageno masa nehiankna nehaze.

Her princes within her were as roaring lions, her judges as the wolves of Arabia; they remained not till the morrow.

4 Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehu'za, tusi hazenke vahe mani'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasegea runetagare'za, Ra Anumzamofo Mono nona eri pehena hu'naze.

Her prophets are light [and] scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law.

5 Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi ran kumapina ko'ma nemanire mani'neankino, Agra mago havizana nosie. Knane knanena Agra fatgo huno vahera refko hunezamante'neanagi, vahe'mo'za Agrira keamara nosaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamagaze zana nomane.

But the just Lord is in the midst of her, and he will never do an unjust thing: morning by morning he will bring out his judgment to the light, and it is not hidden, and he knows not injustice by extortion, nor injustice in strife.

6 Nagra rama'a kumatamimpi vahera zamahe vagarogeno, mani'nezama kuma'ma kegavama nehaza zaza nozmimo'a haviza huno me'ne. Kuma zamifima vanoma nehaza ne'onse kantamina eri haviza huge'za vahera vano osazageno, ranra kumazmimo'a haviza huno megeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfaza hu'ne.

I have brought down the proud with destruction; their corners are destroyed: I will make their ways completely waste, so that none shall go through: their cities are come to an end, by reason of no man living or dwelling [in them].

7 Nagrama antahuana tamagerfa hu'za Nagri agoraga nemani'za, Nagrama zamavumro'ma antoanke'ma antahisage'na kumazmia eri haviza osugahue hu'na antahi'noe. Hianagi zamagra maka'zama hazafina, kazigazi hu'za havi avu'ava zana hu'za vu'naze.

I said, But do ye fear me, and receive instruction, and ye shall not be cut off from the face of the land [for] all the vengeance I have brought upon her: prepare thou, rise early: all their produce is spoilt.

8 E'ina hu'negu akoheta Nagri navega anteta maniho huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Nagrama oti'na keagama huzmante'sanua knazupa, ko antahintahi retro hu'noanki'na kokankokama nemaniza vahe'ene kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri atru hute'na, narimpa ahe'zana zamagrite eri akaha hu atregahue. Nagrama kanivema rezamantesanua narimpa ahe'zamo'a, teve nefakna huno maka ama mopa teno eri fanane hugahie.

Therefore wait upon me, saith the Lord, until the day when I rise up for a witness: because my judgment [shall be] on the gatherings of the nations, to draw to me kings, to pour out upon them all [my] fierce anger: for the whole earth shall be consumed with the fire of my jealousy.

9 Ana zupa maka kokankoka vahera zamagerura eri agru hanuge'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na Nagia ahentesga hu'za monora hunante'gahaze.

For then will I turn to the peoples a tongue for her generation, that all may call on the name of the Lord, to serve him under one yoke.

10 Nagri'ma mono'ma hunenantaza vahe'nima zamahe panani'ma hazage'za Itiopia mopafima mane'nea timofo kantu kazigama umani'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagritega ofa eri'za egahaze.

From the boundaries of the rivers of Ethiopia will I receive my dispersed ones; they shall offer sacrifices to me.

11 Nagri kema nontahita veganokano'ma hu'naza zankura, e'i ana zupa tamagazegura osugahaze. Na'ankure ru'enena tamagra Nagrira hara reonantegahaze. Tamagri amu'nompintira zamavufaga rama nehu'za kema nontahiza vahera zamazeri atregahue. Ana hanugeno ruotage'ma hu'nea agona'nifina zamavufaga rama nehaza vahera omanigahaze.

In that day thou shalt not be ashamed of all thy practices, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then will I take away from thee thy disdainful pride, and thou shalt no more magnify thyself upon my holy mountain.

12 Hianagi akohe'zama nemani'za, zamavufagama anteramiza nemaniza vaheke zamatrenuge'za manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi frakiza nemaniza vahe mani'naze.

And I will leave in thee a meek and lowly people;

13 Israeli naga'ma osi'ama manisaza vahe'mo'za mago hazenkea nosu'za, mago havigea nosu'za, magore hu'za havigea huza vahera rezamataga osugahaze. Ana nehu'za zamagra ne'zana nezamu nehu'za, mani fru hu'za nemani'nageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamazeri korora osugahie.

and the remnant of Israel shall fear the name of the Lord, and shall do no iniquity, neither shall they speak vanity; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed, and lie down, and there shall be none to terrify them.

14 Hagi Saioni mofamoka zagamera nehuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za rankea hu'za kezati'za zagamera hiho. Jerusalemi mofa'moka maka kagu'areti hunka musenkasea nehugeno, karimpamo'a so'e hino.

Rejoice, O daughter of Sion; cry aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem; rejoice and delight thyself with all thine heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

15 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma keaga huneramante'no tamazeri haviza hugahuema huno hu'nea zana eri netreno, tamagri ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahera zamaretufege'za vu'naze. Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzana Agra'a Israeli vahe'mota Kinimo tamagri amu'nompina manigahie. Ana hanigeta hazenke'zama e'zankura korora osugahaze.

The Lord has taken away thine iniquities, he has ransomed thee from the hand of thine enemies: the Lord, the King of Israel, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

16 Ana kna zupa Jerusalemi kumakura hu'za, Saioni agonamoka korora nehunka atregeno kazamo'a arage oramino hu'za hugahaze.

At that time the Lord shall say to Jerusalem, Be of good courage, Sion; let not thine hands be slack.

17 Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo kagri amu'nompina mani'ne. Agra hankavenentake harafa ne' mani'ne. Agra kagrikura tusi muse hugahiankino, avesi zama'areti koroma nehana zana maka eri amne hugahie. Kagrikura ranke huno zagamera nehuno, Agra musenkasea hugahie.

The Lord thy God is in thee; the Mighty One shall save thee: he shall bring joy upon thee, and shall refresh thee with his love; and he shall rejoice over thee with delight as in a day of feasting.

18 Ra Anumzamo'a huno, musenkasema nehaza knare'ma musema osu'naza zanku'ma tamasunku'ma nehaza vahera zamavare atru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena tamazeri tamagazea hanageta tamagazegura osugahaze.

And I will gather thine afflicted ones. Alas! who has taken up a reproach against her?

19 Tamagri'ma knazama tamiza tamazeri havizama hu'naza vahera, ana knazupa hazenke zamigahue. Hanki zamagama havizama hu'nea vahera zamagu'nevazi'na, vahe'mo'zama zamahe'za zamarotago'ma hazage'zama fre'naza vahera ete magopi zamavare tru hugahue. Ru kumategama vuta kinama ome hutama mani'nage'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za kiza zokago ke huneramante'za huhaviza huramante'naze. Hianagi menina ete zamagu'a eri rukrahe hanuge'za, tamagrira husga huramantegahaze.

Behold, I [will] work in thee for thy sake at that time, saith the Lord: and I will save her that was oppressed, and receive her that was rejected; and I will make them a praise, and honoured in all the earth.

20 Ana kna zupa tamagrira magopi tamavre tru hute'na, tamavre'na nonkuma tamire ete egahue. Ama mopafima mani'naza vahe amu'nompintira, tamagrira knare tamagi tamisuge'za tamagesga hugahaze. Tamagra'a tamavufinti negesage'na tamazeri so'e hugahue. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama nanekea hue!

And [their enemies] shall be ashamed at that time, when I shall deal well with you, and at the time when I shall receive you: for I will make you honoured and a praise among all the nations of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before you, saith the Lord.
