Zefania 3
1 Lozan’ ny tanàna miodina sady voaloto, Dia ilay mampahory!
Woe to! [the] filthy [one] and [the] defiled [one] the city which oppresses.
2 Tsy nihaino ny feo izy, Na nino anatra; Jehovah tsy nitokiany, Andriamaniny tsy nohatoniny.
Not it has listened to a voice not it has accepted correction in Yahweh not it has trusted to God its not it has drawn near.
3 Liona mierona ao aminy ireo lehibeny; Amboadia hariva ny mpitsarany Ka tsy mamela ho tra-maraina.
Officials its in midst its [are] lions roaring judges its [are] wolves of [the] evening [which] not they gnaw to the morning.
4 Vavana sady mpamitaka ny mpaminaniny; Mandoto izay masìna ny mpisorony, Eny, mamadika ny lalàna izy.
Prophets its [are] insolent men of treacheri priests its they profane [the] sanctuary they do violence to [the] law.
5 Jehovah no marina ao afovoany, Tsy manao izay tsy marina Izy; Isa-maraina isa-maraina no amoahany ny fitsarany ho amin’ ny mazava, ka tsy diso izany. Fa ny tsy marina tsy mba mahalala henatra.
Yahweh [is] righteous in midst its not he does injustice in the morning in the morning judgment his he gives to the light not he fails and not [is] knowing an unrighteous person shame.
6 Efa nahafongana firenena Aho, Rava ny tilikambo eny amin’ ny zorony; Nosimbako ny lalany tsy hisy mpandeha; Rava ny tanànany, ka tsy misy olona, Eny, tsy misy mponina.
I have cut off nations they are desolate corners their I have made desolate streets their because not [one who] passes by they have been laid waste cities their because not anyone from not inhabitant.
7 Hoy Izaho: Hatahotra Ahy tokoa ianao ka hino anatra, Dia tsy ho rava ny fonenanao, Araka izay rehetra voatendriko hamelezana anao; Kanefa nifoha maraina koa izy ka nanao Izay ratsy rehetra.
I said surely you will fear me you will accept correction and not it will be cut off dwelling its all that I have visited on it nevertheless they rose early they corrupted all practices their.
8 Koa miandrasa Ahy ianareo, hoy Jehovah, Ambara-pihavin’ ny andro hitsanganako haka babo; Fa izao no kasaiko hatao: Hamory firenena sy hanangona fanjakana Aho, Hanidinako ny fahatezerako amin’ ireo, dia ny firehetan’ ny fahatezerako rehetra, Ka ho levon’ ny afon’ ny fahasaro-piaroko ny tany rehetra.
Therefore wait for me [the] utterance of Yahweh for [the] day to arise I for booty for judgment my [is] to gather nations to assemble I kingdoms to pour out on them indignation my all [the] burning of anger my for in [the] fire of jealousy my it will be consumed all the earth.
9 Fa amin’ izany dia hovako ho madio ny molotry ny firenena, Hiantsoan’ izy rehetra ny anaran’ i Jehovah, hanompoany Azy amin’ ny firaisan-kina.
For then I will restore to peoples a lip purified to call all of them on [the] name of Yahweh to serve him a shoulder one.
10 Avy any an-dafin’ ny onin’ i Etiopia no hitondrana ny mpivavaka amiko, Dia ny zanakavavin’ izay naeliko, ho fanatitra ho Ahy.
From [the] other side of [the] rivers of Cush worshippers my [the] daughter of (scattered [ones] my *L(abh)*) they will bring! offering my.
11 Amin’ izany andro izany dia tsy ho menatra ianao tamin’ izay nataonao rehetra, Izay nanotanao tamiko; Ka dia hesoriko aminao ireo mibitaka amim-pireharehana, Ary tsy hiavonavona eo an-tendrombohitro masìna intsony ianao.
On the day that not you will be ashamed from all practices your which you have transgressed against me for then - I will remove from midst your [the] exultant [ones] of pride your and not you will repeat to be haughty again on [the] mountain of holiness my.
12 Nefa hamelako olona ory sy malahelo ihany ao aminao, Ary ny anaran’ i Jehovah no hialofany,
And I will leave in midst your a people afflicted and poor and they will take refuge in [the] name of Yahweh.
13 Ny sisa amin’ ny Isiraely dia tsy hanao meloka na handainga, Ary tsy hisy lela mamitaka eo am-bavany; Fa hihinana sy handry izy, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
[the] remnant of Israel not they will do injustice and not they will speak falsehood and not it will be found in mouth their a tongue of deceitfulness for they they will graze and they will lie down and there not [will be one who] disturbs [them].
14 Mihobia, ry Ziona zanakavavy; Manaova feo fifaliana, ry Isiraely; Mifalia sy miravoravoa amin’ ny fonao rehetra, ry Jerosalema zanakavavy.
Shout for joy O daughter of Zion shout O Israel rejoice and exult with all [the] heart O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Jehovah efa nampitsahatra ny fitsarana anao ka nandroaka ny fahavalonao; Jehovah, Mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no ao aminao; Tsy hahita loza intsony ianao.
He has removed Yahweh judgments your he has cleared away enemy your [the] king of Israel - Yahweh [is] in midst your not (you will fear *L(V)*) evil again.
16 Amin’ izany andro izany dia holazaina amin’ i Jerosalema hoe: Aza matahotra Ary aza miraviravy tanana, ry Ziona.
On the day that it will be said to Jerusalem may not you be afraid O Zion may not they drop hands your.
17 Jehovah Andriamanitrao no ao aminao, Mahery Izy ka hamonjy; Hiravoravo anao amin’ ny fifaliana Izy; Ho sondriana amin’ ny fitiavany Izy; Hifaly anao amin’ ny fihobiana Izy.
Yahweh God your [is] in midst your a warrior [who] he will give victory he will rejoice on you with joy he will be silent in love his he will be glad on you with a shout of joy.
18 Hangoniko izay manina ny fotoam-pivavahana; Avy aminao ihany ireny, Ary itambesaran’ ny latsa izy.
[those] grieved From an appointed feast I will gather from you they were tribute on it reproach.
19 Indro, hasiako amin’ Izany andro izany izay rehetra nampahory anao; Hovonjeko ny mandringa, ary hovoriko ny noroahina, Eny, hataoko ho fiderana sy ho anarana ireny izay efa nitondra henatra tany amin’ ny tany rehetra.
Here I [am] about to deal with all [those who] afflicted you at the time that and I will save the lame [person] and the outcast [person] I will gather and I will make them praise and a name [was] in all the earth shame their.
20 Amin’ izany andro izany no hitondrako anareo miditra, Eny, amin’ izany andro izany no hanangonako anareo; Fa hataoko ho anarana sy ho fiderana any amin’ ny firenena rehetra amin’ ny tany ianareo, Raha hampodiko avy amin’ ny fahababoana ianareo, ka ho hitan’ ny masonareo izany, hoy Jehovah.
At the time that I will bring you and at the time to gather I you for I will make you a name and praise among all [the] peoples of the earth when turn back I captiviti your to eyes your he says Yahweh.
