Sofonias Propheta 2
1 Convenite, congregamini gens non amabilis:
Fakataha ʻakimoutolu, ʻio, fakataha, ʻae puleʻanga ʻoku ʻikai ke holi;
2 Priusquam pariat iussio quasi pulverem transeuntem diem, antequam veniat super vos ira furoris Domini, antequam veniat super vos dies indignationis Domini.
ʻI he teʻeki ke ʻomi ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻe he ʻaho, ʻaia ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ko e kafukafu, ʻi he teʻeki ke hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae houhau kakaha ʻo Sihova, ʻi he teʻeki ke hoko kiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaho ʻoe tuputāmaki ʻo Sihova.
3 Quærite Dominum omnes mansueti terræ, qui iudicium eius estis operati: quærite iustum, quærite mansuetum: si quomodo abscondamini in die furoris Domini.
Mou kumi kia Sihova, ʻakimoutolu kotoa pē ʻae angamalū ʻoe fonua, kuo mou fai ʻa ʻene fakamaau; kumi ki he māʻoniʻoni, kumi ki he angamalū: heiʻilo ʻe fufū ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe houhau ʻo Sihova.
4 Quia Gaza destructa erit, et Ascalon in desertum, Azotum in meridie eiicient, et Accaron eradicabitur.
Koeʻuhi ʻe liʻaki ʻa Kesa, pea fakaʻauha ʻa ʻAsikeloni: te nau kapusi ʻa ʻAsitoti ʻi he hoʻatā, pea ʻe taʻaki fuʻu ʻa Ekiloni.
5 Væ qui habitatis funiculum maris, gens perditorum: verbum Domini super vos Chanaan terra Philisthinorum, et disperdam te, ita ut non sit inhabitator.
Ke malaʻia ki he kakai ʻoe matātahi, ko e puleʻanga ʻoe kakai Kiliti! ʻOku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova; ʻE Kēnani, ko e fonua ʻoe kakai Filisitia, naʻa mo koe, te u fakaʻauha koe, ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha taha ʻe nofo ai.
6 Et erit funiculus maris requies pastorum, et caulæ pecorum:
Pea ʻe hoko ʻae matātahi ko e ngaahi nofoʻanga, mo e ngaahi fale maʻa e kau tauhi sipi, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā maʻa e fanga sipi.
7 et erit funiculus eius qui remanserit de domo Iuda: ibi pascentur, in domibus Ascalonis ad vesperam requiescent: quia visitabit eos Dominus Deus eorum, et avertet captivitatem eorum.
Pea ʻe tuku ʻae fonua maʻa e toenga ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta; te nau kai ai: te nau tokoto ʻi he ngaahi fale ʻo ʻAsikeloni ʻi he efiafi: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolu ʻa honau ʻOtua ko Sihova, pea ʻe liliu ai honau fakapōpula.
8 Audivi opprobrium Moab, et blasphemias filiorum Ammon: quæ exprobraverunt populo meo, et magnificati sunt super terminos eorum.
Kuo u fanongo ki he valoki ʻa Moape, mo e ngaahi manuki ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻaia kuo nau lauʻikoviʻi ai ʻa hoku kakai, mo fakahikihiki ʻakinautolu ki honau fonua.
9 Propterea vivo ego, dicit Dominus exercituum Deus Israel, quia Moab ut Sodoma erit, et filii Ammon quasi Gomorrha, siccitas spinarum, et acervi salis, et desertum usque in æternum: reliquiæ populi mei diripient eos, et residui gentis meæ possidebunt illos.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻOku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe hangē ko Sotoma ʻa Moape, pea ko e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻe hangē ko Komola, ʻio, ko e potu ʻoe ʻakau veli, mo e ngaahi luo māsima, mo e fakaʻauha tuʻumaʻu: ʻe maumauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he toe ʻo ʻeku kakai, pea ʻe maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻe he toenga ʻo ʻeku kakai.
10 Hoc eis eveniet pro superbia sua: quia blasphemaverunt, et magnificati sunt super populum Domini exercituum.
ʻE maʻu eni ʻekinautolu, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fielahi, koeʻuhi kuo nau valoki, mo fakahikihiki ʻakinautolu, ki he kakai ʻo Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau.
11 Horribilis Dominus super eos, et attenuabit omnes deos terræ: et adorabunt eum viri de loco suo, omnes insulæ Gentium.
ʻE fakailifia ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: he te ne fakahonge ʻae ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē ʻoe fonua; pea ʻe lotu ʻae kakai kiate ia, taki taha ʻi hono potu, ʻio, ko e ngaahi ʻotu motu kotoa pē ʻoe hiteni.
12 Sed et vos Æthiopes interfecti gladio meo eritis.
ʻAkimoutolu foki, ʻae kakai ʻItiopea, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku heletā.
13 Et extendet manum suam super Aquilonem, et perdet Assur: et ponet speciosam in solitudinem, et in invium, et quasi desertum.
Pea ʻe mafao atu ʻe ia ʻa hono nima ki he tokelau, mo maumauʻi ʻa ʻAsilia; pea te ne ngaohi ʻa Ninive ko e fakaʻauha, pea mōmoa ʻo hangē ko e toafa.
14 Et accubabunt in medio eius greges, omnes bestiæ Gentium: et onocrotalus, et ericius in liminibus eius morabuntur: vox cantantis in fenestra, corvus in superliminari, quoniam attenuabo robur eius.
Pea ʻe tokoto ʻae fanga sipi ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia, ʻae fanga manu kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga; ʻe fakatou nofo ʻae komolane mo e pitane ʻi he funga matapā ʻi ʻolunga; ʻe hiva ʻa honau leʻo ʻi he ngaahi matapā sioʻata; ʻe ʻi he ngaahi lakaʻanga ʻoe matapā ʻae fakaʻauha: he te ne veteki ʻae ngāue ʻoe sita.
15 Hæc est civitas gloriosa habitans in confidentia: quæ dicebat in corde suo: Ego sum, et extra me non est alia amplius: quomodo facta est in desertum cubile bestiæ? omnis, qui transit per eam, sibilabit, et movebit manum suam.
Ko eni ʻae kolo fakafiefia ʻaia naʻe nofo fakafiemālie kovi, ʻaia naʻe pehē ʻi hono loto, Ko au, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tokotaha mo au: hono ʻikai kuo hoko ia ko e fakaʻauha, ko e potu ke tokoto ai ʻae fanga manu! ʻE taki taha ʻiseʻisa mo ʻalu atu ʻiate ia, mo tupetupeʻi hono nima.
