Zephaniah 2
1 Mutunfacl sumwekin, kom in asmakla
Be you gathered and closely joined together, O unchastened nation;
2 meet liki kom fah ukyukla oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla, meet liki kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fom oana firir lun e uh, meet liki len se El akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
before you become as the flower that passes away, before the anger of the Lord come upon you, before the day of the wrath of the Lord come upon you.
3 Suk LEUM GOD, kowos mwet pusisel nukewa fin acn uh, su akos ma sap lal. Oru ma suwohs, ac akpusiselye kowos sifacna ye mutun LEUM GOD. Sahp kowos fah ku in kaingla liki kaiyuk in len se LEUM GOD El ac fah akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
Seek you the Lord, all you meek of the earth; do judgment, and seek justice, and answer accordingly; that you may be hid in the day of the wrath of the Lord.
4 Wangin sie mwet ac fah lula in siti Gaza. Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet muta we. Mwet in Ashdod ac fah lisyukla ke tafun len na, ac mwet in Ekron ac fah ukohkyak liki siti selos.
For Gaza shall be utterly spoiled, and Ascalon shall be destroyed; and Azotus shall be cast forth at noon-day, and Accaron shall be rooted up.
5 Kowos mwet Philistia su muta weacn uh, kowos ac fah kunausyukla. LEUM GOD El orala tari nununku lal nu suwos. El ac kunauskowosla, ac tia sie suwos fah lula.
Woe to them that dwell on the border of the sea, neighbors of the Cretans! the word of the Lord is against you, O Chanaan, land of the Philistines, and I will destroy you out of [your] dwelling-place.
6 Acn lowos sisken meoa uh ac fah mwesisla, ac lohm sin mwet shepherd ac kalkal in sheep fah oan we.
And Crete shall be a pasture of flocks, and a fold of sheep.

And the sea cost shall be for the remnant of the house of Juda; they shall pasture upon them in the houses of Ascalon; they shall rest in the evening because of the children of Juda; for the Lord their God has visited them, and he will turn away their captivity.
8 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga lohng ke mwet Moab ac mwet Ammon elos fahk kas in akkolukye ac aksruksruki mwet luk, ac konkin mu elos ac eisla acn selos.
I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts.
9 In oana ke nga pa LEUM GOD moul, God lun Israel, nga fahkot na pwaye lah acn Moab ac Ammon ac fah kunausyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah. Elos ac fah ekla oana sie luf in sohl ac musalla nwe tok, ac mah uh ac fah kapak ac kupoiya acn uh. Mwet luk su moulla ac fah utyak ac usla ma lalos nukewa, ac eisla acn selos.”
Therefore, [as] I live, says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus [shall be] left as a heap of the threshing floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my nations shall inherit them.
10 Pa ingan luman kaiyuk su ac fah orek nu sin mwet Moab ac Ammon ke sripen filang ac inse fulat lalos, ac ke sripen elos angon mwet lun LEUM GOD Kulana.
This is their punishment in return for their haughtiness, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the Lord Almighty.
11 LEUM GOD El ac fah aklangingingyalos. El ac fah aksrikyela god lun faclu nwe ke na wanginla, na mutunfacl nukewa fah alu nu sel, kais sie in acn sel sifacna.
The Lord shall appear against them, and shall utterly destroy all the gods of the nations of the earth; and they shall worship him every one from his place, [even] all the islands of the nations.
12 LEUM GOD El fah oayapa uniya mwet Ethiopia.
You Ethiopians also are the slain of my sword.
13 LEUM GOD ac fah orekmakin ku lal in kunausla Assyria. El fah oru tuh siti Nineveh in oana sie mahnum su wanginla mwet muta we, ac in oana sie acn mwesis wangin kof we.
And he shall stretch forth his hand against the north and destroy the Assyrian, and make Nineve a dry wilderness, [even] as a desert.
14 Ac fah sie acn in oan lun un sheep ac un cow ac kain in kosro nukewa. Owl fah muta inmasrlon acn musalla ac tung in winto ah me. Wa ac fah kaskas fin acn in utyak uh. Sak cedar ke lohm uh ac fah taktakla.
And flocks, and all the wild beasts of the land, and chameleons shall feed in the midst thereof: and hedgehogs shall lodge in the ceilings thereof; and wild beasts shall cry in the breaches thereof, and ravens in her porches, whereas her loftiness was [as] as cedar.
15 Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu ke siti se su arulana insefulatkin ku lal sifacna, ac nunku mu wangin ma ac aklokoalokyal. Mwet we nunku mu siti selos pa ku ac fulat oemeet fin faclu.
