UZefaniya 1
1 Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuZefaniya, indodana kaKushi, indodana kaGedaliya, indodana kaAmariya, indodana kaHezekhiya, ezinsukwini zikaJosiya, indodana kaAmoni, inkosi yakoJuda.
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo kan bara Yosiyaas ilmi Aamoon mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa gara Sefaaniyaa ilma Kuushii, ilma Gedaaliyaas, ilma Amariyaa, ilma Hisqiyaas dhufe kanaa dha:
2 Ngizaqeda lokuqeda konke kusuke ebusweni bomhlaba, itsho iNkosi.
“Ani fuula lafaa irraa waan hunda haxaaʼee nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
3 Ngizaqeda umuntu lenyamazana, ngiqede izinyoni zamazulu, lezinhlanzi zolwandle, lezikhubekiso kanye lababi, ngiqume umuntu asuke ebusweni bomhlaba, itsho iNkosi.
“Ani namaa fi horii haxaaʼee nan balleessa; simbirroota samiitii fi qurxummii galaanaa, waaqota tolfamoo namoota hamoo gufachiisan haxaaʼee nan balleessa.” “Ani sanyii namaa lafa irraa nan balleessa” jedha Waaqayyo.
4 Futhi ngizakwelulela isandla sami phezu kukaJuda, laphezu kwabo bonke abahlali beJerusalema, ngiqume insali kaBhali isuke kulindawo, ibizo lamaKhemarimi kanye labapristi;
“Ani Yihuudaa fi warra Yerusaalem keessa jiraatan hundatti harka koo ol nan fudhadha. Ani hambaa Baʼaal hundaa fi maqaa luboota waaqota tolfamoo waaqeffatanii iddoo kanaa nan balleessa;
5 lalabo abakhonza ibutho lamazulu phezu kwezimpahla zezindlu; lalabo abakhonza bafunge ngeNkosi, njalo bafunge ngoMalikamu,
warra raayyaa samii waaqeffachuuf qinaaxxii manaa irratti sagadan, warra sagadanii fi Waaqayyoon kakatan, warra Moolekiinis kakatan,
6 lababuyela emuva ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, labangayidinganga iNkosi, bengayibuzanga.
warra Waaqayyoon duukaa buʼuu dhiisanii duubatti deebiʼan, warra Waaqayyoon hin barbaanne yookaan gorsa isaa hin gaafanne nan balleessa.”
7 Thula ebukhoneni beNkosi uJehova; ngoba usuku lweNkosi luseduze; ngoba iNkosi ilungisile umhlatshelo, yangcwelisa abanxusiweyo bayo.
Guyyaan Waaqayyoo waan dhiʼaateef fuula Waaqayyoo Gooftaa duratti calʼisaa. Waaqayyo aarsaa tokko qopheesseera; inni warra affeere qulqulleesseera.
8 Kuzakuthi-ke ngosuku lomhlatshelo weNkosi ngijezise iziphathamandla, lamadodana enkosi, labo bonke abagqoke izigqoko zabezizwe.
“Guyyaa aarsaa Waaqayyootti ani qondaaltota ilmaan mootichaatii fi warra wayyaa ormaa uffatan hunda nan adaba.
9 Langalolosuku ngizajezisa bonke abeqa phezu kombundu, abagcwalisa indlu yamakhosi abo ngodlakela langenkohliso.
Ani gaafas warra buusaa irra utaalan, kanneen galma waaqota isaanii jeequmsaa fi gowwoomsaadhaan guutan nan adaba.”
10 Langalolosuku, itsho iNkosi, kuzakuba lelizwi lokukhala livela esangweni lenhlanzi, lokuqhinqa isililo kuvela kwelesibili, lokufohloza okukhulu kuvela emaqaqeni.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha; “Gaafas Karra Qurxummii irraa iyya, Waltajjii Lammaffaa irraa wawwaannaa, gaarran irraa immoo sagalee diigama guddaatu dhagaʼama.
11 Qhinqani isililo, lina bahlali beMaketeshi, ngoba bonke abantu abathengisayo baqunyelwe phansi; bonke abathwala isiliva baqunyiwe.
Isin warri Makteesh keessa jiraattan wawwaadhaa; daldaltoonni keessan hundi lafa irraa haxaaʼamu; warri meetii daldalan hundinuus ni barbadaaʼu.
12 Kuzakuthi-ke ngalesosikhathi ngihlole iJerusalema ngezibane, ngijezise amadoda ajiyileyo ezinzeceni zawo, athi enhliziyweni yawo: INkosi kayiyikwenza okuhle, futhi kayiyikwenza okubi.
Ani yeroo sana Yerusaalemin ibsaadhaan nan sakattaʼa; warra qananiidhaan jiraatan, kanneen akka daadhii wayinii siicoo irratti hafee taʼan, kanneen, ‘Waaqayyo waan tolaas taʼu waan hamaa homaa hin godhu’ jedhanii yaadan nan adaba.
13 Ngakho inotho yabo izakuba yimpango, lezindlu zabo zibe lunxiwa. Futhi bazakwakha izindlu, kodwa bangahlali kuzo; njalo bazahlanyela izivini, kodwa banganathi iwayini lazo.
Qabeenyi isaanii ni saamama; manni isaanii ni ona. Isaan mana ijaarratu; garuu keessa hin jiraatan; isaan biqiltuu wayinii ni dhaabbatu; garuu daadhii wayinii hin dhugan.”
14 Usuku olukhulu lweNkosi luseduze, luseduze, luyaphangisa kakhulu; ilizwi losuku lweNkosi; iqhawe lizakhala khona kabuhlungu.
Guyyaan Waaqayyoo guddichi dhiʼaateera; dhiʼaatees dafee dhufaara. Dhagaʼaa! Iyyi guyyaa Waaqayyoo hadhaaʼaa dha; goonni achitti sagalee ol fudhatee iyya.
15 Lolosuku lusuku lolaka, usuku lokuhlupheka losizi, usuku lwencithakalo lokuchitheka, usuku lomnyama lobumnyama, usuku lwamayezi lobumnyama obunzima,
Guyyaan sun guyyaa dheekkamsaa, guyyaa dhiphinaa fi gaddaa, guyyaa rakkinaa fi badiisaa, guyyaa dukkanaa fi dimimmisaa, guyyaa duumessaa fi dukkana hamaa ni taʼa;
16 usuku lophondo lolomkhosi omelene lemizi ebiyelwe ngemithangala, lolumelene lezingonsi eziphakemeyo.
magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qabanii fi gamoowwan ol dhedheeroo irratti guyyaa itti malakata afuufanii fi iyya waraanaa taʼa.
17 Njalo ngizabacindezela abantu, ukuze bahambe njengeziphofu, ngoba bonile eNkosini; legazi labo lizathululwa njengothuli, lenyama yabo njengobulongwe.
“Sababii isaan Waaqayyootti cubbuu hojjetaniif, ani akka isaan akkuma jaamotaatti deemaniif uummatatti dhiphina nan fida. Dhiigni isaanii akkuma awwaaraa, miʼi garaa isaaniis akkuma kosii gatama.
18 Lesiliva sabo legolide labo kakuyikuba lakho ukubakhulula ngosuku lolaka lweNkosi; kodwa ilizwe lonke lizaqedwa ngumlilo wobukhwele bayo; ngoba izaqeda, ngitsho ngesiphangiphangi, ngabo bonke abahlali belizwe.
Guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqayyootti meetiin isaanii yookaan warqeen isaanii isaan oolchuu hin dandaʼu.” Ibidda hinaaffaa isaatiin addunyaan hundi ni barbadoofti; warra lafa irra jiraatan hundatti inni badiisa tasaa ni fidaatii.
