Sofoni 3
1 Mawa na engumba ya batomboki, engumba ya makambo ya mbindo, mpe engumba oyo enyokolaka bato!
Wo! thou citee, terrere to wraththe, and bouyt ayen a culuer.
2 Etosaka moto te, endimaka pamela te, etiaka elikya na Yawe te, epusanaka pene ya Nzambe na yango te.
It herde not the vois of the Lord, and resseyuede not techyng, ether chastisyng; it tristenyde not in the Lord, it neiyide not to her God.
3 Bakalaka na yango bazali lokola bankosi oyo ezali koganga; bakambi na yango bazali lokola bambwa ya zamba oyo esalaka bokila na pokwa, bongo etikaka ata eloko moko te na tongo.
Princes therof in myddil therof weren as liouns rorynge; iugis therof weren wolues, in the euentid thei leften not in to morewe.
4 Basakoli na yango bazali bato ya lolendo mpe ya lokuta. Banganga-Nzambe na yango babebisaka Esika ya bule mpe batosaka mibeko te.
Profetis therof weren woode, vnfeithful men; prestis therof defouliden hooli thing, thei diden vniustli ayens the lawe.
5 Kati na engumba yango, Yawe azali sembo, asalaka mabe te; mokolo na mokolo, alakisaka bosembo na Ye mpe azangaka te kokokisa yango tongo na tongo. Nzokande, moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo te amonaka likambo ya soni te.
The Lord iust in the myddil therof, schal not do wickidnesse; erli, erli he schal yyue his dom in liyt, and it schal not be hid; forsothe the wickid puple knew not confusioun.
6 Nabomi bato ya bikolo mosusu, bandako na bango ya makasi ebebisami. Nasali ete babalabala na bango etikala lisusu na bato te mpo ete moto moko te alekela lisusu wana. Bingumba na bango ebebisami, ata moto moko te atikali lisusu kuna.
Y loste folkis, and the corneris of hem ben distried; Y made the weies of hem desert, while there is not that schal passe. The citees of hem ben desolat, for a man is not left, nether ony dwellere.
7 Namilobelaki boye na tina na engumba oyo: « Solo, okobanga Ngai mpe okondima pamela na Ngai! » Boye bandako na yango ekobukana lisusu te, mpe nakotindela yango lisusu etumbu moko te. Kasi atako bongo, bakobaki kaka kosala misala na bango ya mabe.
Y seide, Netheles thou schalt drede me, thou schalt resseyue techyng; and the dwellyng place therof schal not perische, for alle thingis in whiche Y visitide it; netheles ful eerli thei risynge han corrupt alle her thouytis.
8 Yango wana, « bozela Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « bozela Ngai na mokolo oyo nakoya mpo na kosamba elongo na bino; nazwaki mokano ya kosangisa bato ya bikolo nyonso mpe ya mikili nyonso mpo na kosopela bango kanda na Ngai, makasi nyonso penza ya kanda na Ngai: mokili mobimba ekozika na moto ya nguya ya kanda na Ngai.
Wherfor abide thou me, seith the Lord, in the dai of my rysyng ayen in to comynge. For my doom is, that Y gadere folkis, and Y schal gadere rewmes; and Y schal schede out on hem myn indignacioun, and al wraththe of my strong veniaunce; for in fier of my feruour al erthe schal be deuourid.
9 Boye nakopetola bibebu ya bato ya bikolo mpo ete bango nyonso bazala ya kokoka mpo na kobelela Kombo ya Yawe mpe kosalela Ye na motema mobimba.
For thanne Y schal yelde to puplis a chosun lippe, that alle clepe inwardli in the name of the Lord, and serue to hym with o schuldre.
10 Longwa na likolo ya bibale ya Kushi, bato na Ngai, oyo bagumbamelaka Ngai; bato na Ngai, oyo bapalangana bipai na bipai, bakomemela Ngai makabo.
Ouer the floodis of Ethiopie, fro thens my bisecheris, the sones of my scaterid men, schulen brynge yifte to me.
11 Na mokolo wana, oh bato na Ngai, bokoyokisama lisusu soni te mpo na mabe nyonso oyo bosalaki Ngai, pamba te nakolongola bato oyo bamimatisaka na lolendo kati na bino. Boye bokomitombola lisusu te na lolendo na ngomba na Ngai ya bule.
In that day thou schalt not be confoundid on alle thi fyndyngis, in whiche thou trespassidist ayens me; for thanne Y schal take awei fro the myddil of thee grete spekeris of thi pride, and thou schalt no more put to, for to be enhaunsid in myn hooli hil.
12 Kasi kati na bino, nakotika bato oyo bakelela, bato oyo batambolaka na komikitisa, bato oyo bakozwa ebombamelo kati na Kombo na Yawe.
And Y schal leeue in the myddil of thee a pore puple and nedi; and thei schulen hope in the name of the Lord.
13 Batikali ya Isalaele bakosala lisusu mabe te, bakokosa lisusu te to lokuta ekozala lisusu te kati na minoko na bango. Bakolia mpe bakolala na kimia, mpe moto moko te akobangisa bango lisusu.
The relifs of Israel schulen not do wickidnesse, nether schulen speke leesyng, and a gileful tunge schal not be foundun in the mouth of hem; for thei schulen be fed, and schulen reste, and ther schal not be that schal make aferd.
14 Siona, mboka kitoko, yemba nzembo! Isalaele, ganga makasi! Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, sepela; mpe tika ete motema na yo etonda na esengo!
These thingis seith the Lord, Douyter of Sion, herie thou hertli, synge thou, Israel; be thou glad, and make thou ioie withoutforth in al thin herte, thou douyter of Jerusalem.
15 Yawe alongoli etumbu na yo mpe akimisi banguna na yo. Yawe, Mokonzi ya Isalaele, azali elongo na yo; kobanga lisusu pasi moko te.
The Lord hath take a wei thi dom, hath turned a wey thin enemyes; the kyng of Israel the Lord is in myddil of thee, thou schalt no more drede yuel.
16 Na mokolo wana, bakoloba na Yelusalemi: ‹ Oh Siona, kobanga te! Tika ete maboko na yo elemba te!
In that dai it schal be seid, Jerusalem, nyle thou drede; Sion, thin hondis be not clumsid.
17 Yawe, Nzambe na yo, azali elongo na yo, azali Elombe Mobikisi. Akosepela na yo makasi mpe akopemisa yo, na bolingo na Ye; akoyemba banzembo ya esengo na tina na yo. ›
Thi Lord God is strong in the myddil of thee, he schal saue; he schal make ioie on thee in gladnesse, he schal be stille in thi louyng, he schal make ioie withoutforth on thee in heriyng.
18 Lokola na mikolo ya bafeti oyo ekatama, nakolongola pasi kati na yo mpo ete ozala lisusu na soni te.
Y schal gadere the foolis, ether veyn men, that wenten awei fro the lawe, for thei weren of thee, that thou haue no more schenschipe on hem.
19 Na tango wana, nakobeta bato nyonso oyo banyokolaki yo, nakosunga moto oyo atambolaka tengu-tengu mpe nakosangisa bato oyo bapanzana bipai na bipai. Nakopesa bango lokumu mpe nakosala ete sango na bango epanzana na mikili nyonso epai wapi basambwisaki bango.
Lo! Y schal sle alle men that turmentiden thee in that tyme, and Y schal saue him that haltith, and Y schal gadere hir that was cast out; and Y schal putte hem in to heriyng, and in to name in ech lond of confusioun of hem, in that tyme in which Y schal brynge you,
20 Na tango wana, nakosangisa bino, nakozongisa bino na mokili na bino. Nakopesa bino lokumu mpe nakosala ete sango na bino epanzana kati na bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili tango, na miso na bino, nakozongisa bato na bino, oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, » elobi Yawe.
and in the tyme in which Y schal gadre you. For Y schal yyue you in to name, and in to heriyng to alle puplis of erthe, whanne Y schal conuerte youre caitifte bifore youre iyen, seith the Lord.
