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 word of the Lord which came unto Zephanyah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedalyah, the son of Amaryah, the son of Chizkiyah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon the king of Judah.

2 Nagra ama mopamofo agofetu'ma me'nea zantamina maka eri harafi hutregahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

I will remove, utterly remove all things from off the face of the earth, saith 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 remove man and beast; I will remove the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks together with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the face of the earth, saith 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.

And I will stretch out my hand over Judah, and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Ba'al from this place, the name of his ministers with his 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.

And those that bow themselves down on the roofs of houses to the host of heaven; and those that bow themselves down that are sworn [to be true] to the Lord and still swear by Malkom;

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

And those that are turned away from following the Lord; and those that have not sought for the Lord, and have not inquired of 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 in the presence of the Lord Eternal; for nigh is the day of the Lord; for the Lord hath prepared a slaughter, he hath bidden his invited 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.

And it shall come to pass on the day of the Lord's slaughter, that I will inflict punishment on the princes, and on the king's sons, and on all such as are clothed in garments of a foreign land.

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.

And I will inflict punishment on all those that leap over the threshold on that day, who fill the house of their master 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.

And it shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be a loud cry of lamentation from the fish-gate, and a wailing from the second, and [that of] a great breach 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, ye inhabitants of the mortar-street, for destroyed are all the trading people; cut off are all that were laden with silver.

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.

And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem through with lights; and I will inflict punishment on the men that are at rest on their lees, that say in their heart, The Lord will not do good, nor 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.

And their wealth shall become a booty, and their houses shall be made desolate; and they will build houses, but they shall not inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, but they shall not 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.

Nigh is the great day of the Lord, it is nigh, and hasteneth greatly, [there is] the noise of the day of the Lord: bitterly crieth there the mighty man.

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.

A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anxiety, a day of wasting and desolation, a day of darkness and obscurity, a day of clouds and tempestuous gloom,

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 cornet and alarm, against the fenced 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.

And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk about like the blind, because against the Lord have they sinned: and their blood shall be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like the 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 shall be able to deliver them on the day of the Lord's wrath; through the fire of whose zeal the whole land shall be devoured; for destruction, yea, quite sudden, will he prepare for all the inhabitants of the land.
