Zefania 1

1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay tonga tamin’ i Zefania, zanak’ i Kosy, zanak’ i Gedalia, zanak’ i Amaria, zanak’ i Hezekia, tamin’ ny andro nanjakan’ i Josia, zanak’ i Amona, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.

2 Hakifako tokoa ny zavatra rehetra tsy ho eny ambonin’ ny tany, hoy Jehovah;

to gather to cease all from upon face: surface [the] land: planet utterance LORD

3 Eny, hakifako ny olona sy ny biby; Hakifako ny vorona eny amin’ ny habakabaka sy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina. Ary ny zavatra mahatafintohina mbamin’ ny ratsy fanahy, Haringako tsy ho amin’ ny tany ny olona, hoy Jehovah.

to cease man and animal to cease bird [the] heaven and fish [the] sea and [the] ruins with [the] wicked and to cut: eliminate [obj] [the] man from upon face: surface [the] land: planet utterance LORD

4 Ary hahinjitro ny tanako hamely ny Joda sy ny mponina rehetra any Jerosalema; Dia haringako tsy ho eo amin’ ity tany ity ny sisa amin’ i Bala, Sy ny anaran’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andriamani-tsi-izy mbamin’ ny tena mpisorona,

and to stretch hand my upon Judah and upon all to dwell Jerusalem and to cut: cut from [the] place [the] this [obj] remnant [the] Baal [obj] name [the] pagan priest with [the] priest

5 Sy izay mivavaka any an-tampon-trano amin’ izay eny amin’ ny lanitra, Ary izay miankohoka sy mianiana ho an’ i Jehovah Sady mianiana amin’ i Malkama,

6 Ary izay nihemotra niala tamin’ i Jehovah, Sy izay tsy nitady an’ i Jehovah na nanontany taminy.

and [obj] [the] to turn from after LORD and which not to seek [obj] LORD and not to seek him

7 Mangìna eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Tompo! Fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah; Fa Jehovah efa niomana hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra Ka efa nanamasina ny olona nasainy.

to silence from face: before Lord YHWH/God for near day LORD for to establish: prepare LORD sacrifice to consecrate: consecate to call: call to his

8 Ary raha mby amin’ ny andro hamonoan’ i Jehovah zavatra hatao fanatitra, Dia hovaliako ny lehibe sy ny zanak’ andriana Mbamin’ izay rehetra mitafy ny fitafin’ ny firenena hafa.

and to be in/on/with day sacrifice LORD and to reckon: punish upon [the] ruler and upon son: child [the] king and upon all [the] to clothe garment foreign

9 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hovaliako izay rehetra miezaka mihoatra ny tokonana, Dia ireo mameno loza sy fitaka ny tranon’ ny tompony.

and to reckon: punish upon all [the] to leap upon [the] threshold in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [the] to fill house: home lord their violence and deceit

10 Ary amin’ izany andro izany, hoy Jehovah, Dia hisy feo re mitaraina any am-bavahadin-kazandrano, Sy fidradradradrana ao amin’ ny tanàna ambany, Ary fidarabohana miezinezina any amin’ ny havoana.

and to be in/on/with day [the] he/she/it utterance LORD voice cry from gate [the] Fish (Gate) and wailing from [the] Second [Quarter] and breaking great: large from [the] hill

11 Midradradradrà, ianareo mponina ao Maktesy; Fa ringana avokoa ny mpandranto rehetra, Eny, lany ringana izay rehetra nivesatra volafotsy.

to wail to dwell [the] Mortar for to cease all people merchant to cut: eliminate all laden silver: money

12 Ary amin’ izany andro izany dia hotsiloviko amin’ ny jiro Jerosalema, Ka hovaliako ny olona izay efa lefy ao amin’ ny faikany, Dia izay manao anakampo hoe: Sady tsy hanao soa Jehovah no tsy hanao ratsy.

and to be in/on/with time [the] he/she/it to search [obj] Jerusalem in/on/with lamp and to reckon: punish upon [the] human [the] to congeal upon dreg their [the] to say in/on/with heart their not be good LORD and not be evil

13 Ka dia ho tonga babo ny fananan’ ireny, Ary ho lao ny tranony; Dia hanao trano izy, nefa tsy hitoetra ao, Hamboly voaloboka izy, nefa tsy hisotro ny divay avy aminy.

and to be strength: rich their to/for plunder and house: home their to/for devastation and to build house: home and not to dwell and to plant vineyard and not to drink [obj] wine their

14 Efa antomotra ny andro lehiben’ i Jehovah; Eny, efa antomotra sady mihafaingana indrindra, Injay! feon’ ny andron’ i Jehovah! Ny lehilahy mahery dia mitomany mafy any.

15 Andro fahatezerana izany andro izany, Andro fahoriana sy fahalahelovana, Andro fandravana sy fanafoanana, Andro maizina sy manjombona, Andro mandrahona sy maizim-pito.

17 Ary hampahory ny olona Aho, Handehanany toy ny jamba, Satria efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah izy; Ny ràny dia haidina toy ny vovoka, Ary ny nofony ho toy ny zezika.

and to constrain to/for man and to go: walk like/as blind for to/for LORD to sin and to pour: pour blood their like/as dust and intestine their like/as dung

18 Na ny volafotsiny na ny volamenany dia samy tsy hahavonjy azy amin’ ny andro fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, Fa holevonin’ ny afon’ ny fahasaro-piarony ny tany rehetra; Fa fahafonganana, eny, fahafonganana tampoka tokoa no hataony amin’ ny mponina amin’ ny tany.
