Zefania 2
1 Mitontòna, Eka, mitontòna ry fifeheañe tsy aman-kenatseo,
Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.
2 Ie mbe tsy mifetsake i zakay, ie mihelañe hoe kafo’e i àndroy, aolo’ te mivovo ama’ areo i haviñerañe miforoforo’ Iehovày, aolo’ te tojeha ama’o ty andron-kaviñera’ Iehovà,
Before brings forth a decree like chaff it has passed away a day before - not it will come on you [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh before not it will come on you [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.
3 Tsoeho t’Iehovà, ry mpirèk’ an-tane atoio, ry mpañorike o lili’eo; paiao ty havantañañe, kodebeo ty firèham-batañe, hera hampipalireñe amy andron-kaviñera’ Iehovày.
Seek Yahweh O all [the] humble [people] of the land who judgment his they have done seek righteousness seek humility perhaps you will be hidden on [the] day of [the] anger of Yahweh.
4 Fa haforintseñe ty Azà, naho hangoakoake t’i Askelone, ho roaheñe an-tsipinde t’i Asdode, vaho hombotañe t’i Ekrone.
For Gaza abandoned it will be and Ashkelon [will become] a desolation Ashdod at the noontide people will drive out it and Ekron it will be plucked up.
5 Hankàñe amo mpimoneñe añ’olon-driak’ añeo, o nte-Kereteo, fa atreatre’ ty tsara’ Iehovà; ry Kanàne, tane’ o nte-Pilistio, ie harotsako tsy ho amam-pimoneñe.
Woe to! [the] inhabitants of [the] region of the sea [the] nation of [the] Kerethites [the] word of Yahweh [is] on you O Canaan [the] land of [the] Philistines and I will destroy you from not inhabitant.
6 Le ho fiandrazañe, mioboñoboñe ho amo piarakeo, naho golobon’añondry, i añ’olon-driakey.
And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.
7 Ho a i sehangan’anjomba’ Iakobey i olotsey, ie handrazeñe ama’e, naho hirotse an-kiboho’ i Askelone te haleñe; fa hitilike iareo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, vaho hampoli’e ty fandrohiza’ iareo.
And it will belong [the] region to [the] remnant of [the] house of Judah on them they will graze! in [the] houses of Ashkelon in the evening they will lie down! for he will visit them Yahweh God their and he will turn back (captivity their. *Q(k)*)
8 Fa tsinanoko ty ìnje’ i Moabe, naho ty natì’ o ana’ i Amoneo, ie nañamavo ondatikoo, naho niebotsebotse te nitare’ iareo ty nifaritsoha’ iareoy.
I have heard [the] reproach of Moab and [the] reviling words of [the] people of Ammon who they have reproached people my and they have magnified themselves on territory their.
9 Aa kanao velon-draho hoe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy, t’i Andrianañahare’ Israele, le hanahake i Sedome t’i Moabe, naho hoe Amorà o ana’ i Amoneo, ho monton-kisatse, naho kobon-tsira, vaho hangoakoake nainai’e; ho kopahe’ ty sehanga’ ondatikoo, ho lovae’ ty honka’ o borizàkoo.
Therefore [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel that Moab like Sodom it will be and [the] people of Ammon like Gomorrah a place possessed of nettle[s] and a pit of salt and a waste until perpetuity [the] remnant of people my they will plunder them and [the] rest ofK: (nation my *Q(K)*) they will take possession of them.
10 Izay ty hamaleañe iareo ty amy firengevohañey amy t’ie nañinje naho nitoabotse am’ondati’ Iehovà’ i màroio.
This [will belong] to them in place of pride their for they reproached and they magnified themselves on [the] people of Yahweh of hosts.
11 Hampañeveñe iareo t’Iehovà, ie hampidazidazitse ze fonga ndrahare’ ty tane toy. Songa hitalaho ama’e boak’ an-toe’e eo ondatio naho ze hene tokonose’ o kilakila’ondatio.
[will be] awesome Yahweh on them if he will make lean all [the] gods of the earth so they may bow down to him everyone from own place his all [the] islands of the nations.
12 Ry nte-Kosio: ie ho zamanem-pibarako ka,
Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.
13 le hatora-kitsi’e mb’amo avaratse añeo ty fità’e, le ho rotsahe’e t’i Asore; vaho hampangoakoahe’e t’i Ninevè, ie ho maike hoe ratraratra.
And he may stretch out hand his on [the] north so he may destroy Assyria and he may make Nineveh a waste a dry region like the wilderness.
14 Handre añivo’e eo ze karazam-biby mpiray troke am-piandrazañe ey, hitobòk’ amo lahin-dala’eo ty vorondolo naho ty lagoro; ie hivolañe an-dalan-kede eo; ho rotsake o tokona’eo fa holirañe o mendoraveñe fitemerañeo.

15 Itoke i rova nirebeke t’ie niaiñ’añ’oleñañey, ie nitsakore an-troke ao ty hoe, izaho avao, tsy aman’añ’ilako; akore t’ie hoake henaneo, toetse fandream-biby! Sindre hikosìke naho hañelahela-fitàñe ze hiary eo.
This [is] the city jubilant which dwells to security which says in heart its I and only I [am] yet how! - it has become a waste a resting place for animal[s] every [one who] passes by at it he will hiss he will shake hand his.
