ЦЕФАНИЯ 3
1 Вай де четатя ындэрэтникэ ши спуркатэ, вай де четатя плинэ де асуприре!
Terrible things will [also] happen [to Jerusalem], that city whose people have rebelled [against Yahweh] and who have become unacceptable to him [because of the sins that they have committed]. [They act violently toward others] and they (oppress/treat cruelly) [other people].
2 Еа н-аскултэ де ничун глас, ну цине сяма де мустраре, ну се ынкреде ын Домнул, ну се апропие де Думнезеул сэу.
[The people there] do not pay attention to people who tell them [the wrong things that they are doing] and [try to] (correct them/cause them to quit doing those things). [The people in Jerusalem] do not trust in Yahweh or draw near to ask help from their God.
3 Кэпетенииле ей ын мижлокул ей сунт ниште лей каре рэкнеск; жудекэторий ей сунт ниште лупь де сярэ, каре ну май ласэ ничун ос пынэ диминяца.
Their leaders are [like] [MET] roaring lions; they are [like] [MET] wolves that [attack other animals] during the evening, [and eat everything that they kill], with the result that the next morning there is nothing left [of those animals to eat].
4 Пророчий ей сунт ушуратичь ши ыншелэторь; преоций ей пынгэреск лукруриле сфинте, калкэ Леӂя.
The prophets in Jerusalem are proud, [and they give messages that are] not to be trusted. Their priests cause the temple to be unholy by doing things that are opposed to the laws [of Moses].
5 Домнул есте фэрэ приханэ ын мижлокул ей. Ел ну фаче ничо нелеӂюире; ын фиекаре диминяцэ, Ел Ышь скоате ла луминэ жудекэциле фэрэ сэ ынчетезе вреодатэ, дар чине есте нелеӂюит ну штие де рушине!
But Yahweh is [also] in the city; and he never does what is wrong. He treats people justly/fairly; he does that every day, but wicked people are never ashamed [about their doing what is wrong].
6 „Ам нимичит нямурь, ле-ам дэрымат турнуриле, ле-ам пустиит улицеле ши ну май трече нимень пе еле! Четэциле лор сунт пустиите, ну май ау ничун ом ын еле ши нимень ну май локуеште ын еле!
[Yahweh says this]: “I have destroyed [many] nations; I have destroyed their strong/high city walls and towers. [Now] I have caused the streets in those cities to be completely deserted [DOU]; the cities are ruined. There are no people [still alive] in the cities; they are all dead [LIT].
7 Зичям: ‘Дакэ ай вои мэкар сэ те темь де Мине ши сэ ций сяма де мустраре! Ну ць-ар фи нимичитэ локуинца ши н-ар вени песте тине тоате педепселе ку каре те-ам аменинцат.’ Дар ей с-ау грэбит сэ-шь стриче тоате фаптеле.
[So] I thought [to myself], ‘[Because of what I have done to those other nations], surely the people [of Jerusalem] will revere me [now], and they will accept (my correcting them/my telling them to quit doing what is wrong). [If they do that, I] will not destroy their houses; I will not punish them like I said that I would do.’ But [in spite of knowing how I punished those other nations], they were still eager to get up early each morning and continue to do evil things.
8 Де ачея аштептаць нумай”, зиче Домнул, „пынэ ын зиуа кынд Мэ вой скула ла прадэ, кэч ам хотэрыт сэ стрынг нямуриле, сэ адун ымпэрэцииле, ка сэ-Мь вэрс урӂия песте еле, тоатэ априндеря мынией Меле, кэч тоатэ цара ва фи мистуитэ де фокул ӂелозией Меле.
Therefore I, Yahweh, say, ‘Wait for the day in which I will testify [in court about your evil things].’ I have decided to gather the people of the kingdoms [of the earth] [DOU] and cause them to know that I am very angry with them. All [over] the earth I will punish and destroy people; my being angry with them because I (am jealous/want people to worship no other god) is [like] [MET] a (raging/very hot) fire.
9 Атунч вой да попоарелор бузе курате, ка тоць сэ кеме Нумеле Домнулуй, ка сэ-Й служяскэ ынтр-ун гынд.
When that happens, I will cause [all] people [MTY] to be changed and enable them to speak [only] what is (pure/pleasing to me), in order that everyone can worship me [MTY] and unitedly/together serve me [MTY].
10 Динколо де рыуриле Етиопией Ымь вор адуче дарурь де мынкаре ынкинэторий мей, обштя Мя чя рисипитэ.
[Then] my people who [were forced to go to other countries], those who live along the upper part of the [Nile] River in Ethiopia will come to me and bring offerings to me.
11 Ын зиуа ачея, ну вей май авя невое сэ рошешть де тоате фаптеле тале прин каре ай пэкэтуит ымпотрива Мя, кэч атунч вой скоате дин мижлокул тэу пе чей труфашь ши ну те вей май ынгымфа пе мунтеле Меу чел сфынт!
At that time, you [people in Jerusalem] will no [longer] be ashamed [about what has happened to you], because you no longer will be rebelling against me. I will get rid of all the people among you who are very proud [DOU]. No one on [Zion], my holy hill, will [strut around] proudly.
12 Вой лэса ын мижлокул тэу ун попор смерит ши мик, каре се ва ынкреде ын Нумеле Домнулуй.
Those who are still alive in Israel will be poor and humble; they will be people who trust in me [MTY].
13 Рэмэшицеле луй Исраел ну вор май сэвырши нелеӂюире, ну вор май спуне минчунь ши нич ын гура лор ну се ва май гэси о лимбэ ыншелэтоаре. Чи вор паште ши се вор одихни ши нимень ну-й ва тулбура.”
Those people who are still alive [there] in Israel will not do [things that are] wrong; they will not tell lies or deceive [MTY] people. They will eat and sleep [safely], [because] no one will cause them to be afraid.”
14 Стригэ де букурие, фийка Сионулуй! Стригэ де веселие, Исраеле! Букурэ-те ши салтэ де веселие дин тоатэ инима та, фийка Иерусалимулуй!
You people who live in Jerusalem [DOU] and [other places in] Israel, sing and shout loudly! Be glad, and rejoice [DOU] greatly,
15 Домнул а абэтут де ла тине педепселе тале, а ындепэртат пе врэжмашул тэу; Домнул, Ымпэратул луй Исраел, есте ын мижлокул тэу; ну требуе сэ те май темь де ничо ненорочире!
[because] Yahweh will stop punishing [MTY] you, and he will send away from you [the armies of] your enemies! And Yahweh [himself], the king of [us] Israeli people, will live among us, and never again will we be afraid that [others will] harm us.
16 Ын зиуа ачея, се ва зиче Иерусалимулуй: „Ну те теме де нимик! Сиоане, сэ ну-ць слэбяскэ мыниле!
At that time, [other people] will say to us people of Jerusalem, “[You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, do not be afraid; do not become afraid or discouraged,
17 Домнул Думнезеул тэу есте ын мижлокул тэу, ка ун витяз каре поате ажута; Се ва букура де тине ку маре букурие, ва тэчя ын драгостя Луй ши ну ва май путя де веселие пентру тине.”
[because] Yahweh your God is [living] among you. He is mighty, and he will rescue/save you. He will be very happy with you; because he loves you, he will cause you to not be afraid; he will sing loudly to rejoice over you.”
18 „Вой стрынӂе пе чей ынтристаць каре сунт департе де адунаря сфынтэ, пе чей ешиць дин сынул тэу асупра кэрора акум апасэ окара.
[Yahweh says, ] “You people were sad and ashamed because [you were unable to attend] your religious festivals; but I will cause you to no longer be disgraced.
19 Ятэ, ын время ачея, вой лукра ымпотрива тутурор асуприторилор тэй; вой избэви пе чей шкьопь ши вой стрынӂе пе чей че ау фост изгониць ши ый вой фаче о причинэ де лаудэ ши де славэ ын тоате цэриле унде сунт де окарэ акум.
Truly, I will [severely] punish all those who (oppressed you/caused you to suffer). I will rescue those who are helpless and those who were forced to go to other countries. I will enable them to be praised and honored in every country to which they were (exiled/forced to go), places where they were disgraced.
20 Ын время ачея, вэ вой адуче ынапой; ын время ачея, вэ вой стрынӂе, кэч вэ вой фаче о причинэ де славэ ши де лаудэ ынтре тоате попоареле пэмынтулуй, кынд вой адуче ынапой пе принший воштри де рэзбой суб окий воштри”, зиче Домнул.
At that time, I will gather you together and bring you [back] home [to Israel]. I will cause you to (have a good reputation/be honored) and be [greatly] praised among all the nations of the earth. You [MTY] will see me causing you to prosper again. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
