Zefania 2
1 Unganai pamwe chete, unganai pamwe chete, imi rudzi runonyadzisa,
Gather yourselves together and gather together O nation not ashamed.
2 nguva dzakatarwa dzisati dzasvika uye zuva iroro risati rapfuura sehundi, kutsamwa kukuru kwaJehovha kusati kwauya pamusoro penyu, zuva rehasha dzaJehovha risati rauya pamusoro penyu.
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 Tsvakai Jehovha, imi mose vanyoro vapanyika, imi mose munoita zvaakarayira. Tsvakai kururama, tsvakai unyoro; zvimwe mungadzivirirwa pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha.
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 Gaza richasiyiwa uye Ashikeroni richasiyiwa rava dongo. Pamasikati makuru Ashidhodhi richasiyiwa risisina chinhu uye Ekironi radzurwa.
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 Mune nhamo imi munogara pedyo negungwa, imi vanhu veKereti; shoko raJehovha rinokurwisa, iwe Kenani nyika yavaFiristia. “Ndichakuparadza, uye hapana achasara.”
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 Nyika iri pedyo negungwa, panogara vaKereti, ichava nzvimbo yavafudzi namatanga ehwai.
And it will be [the] region of the sea pastures of meadows of shepherds and folds of sheep.
7 Ichava yavakasara veimba yavaJudha; vachawana mafuro ikoko. Mumadekwana vachavata pasi mudzimba dzaAshikeroni. Jehovha Mwari wavo achavachengeta; Achavadzorera pfuma yavo.
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 “Ndakanzwa kutuka kwaMoabhu nokuzvidza kwavaAmoni, avo vakatuka vanhu vangu uye vakatyisidzira nyika yavo.
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 Naizvozvo, zvirokwazvo noupenyu hwangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri, “zvirokwazvo Moabhu achaita seSodhomu, vaAmoni seGomora, nzvimbo yesora namakomba emunyu, matongo nokusingaperi. Vakasara vavanhu vangu vachavapamba; vachararama vorudzi rwangu vachagara nhaka yenyika yavo.”
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 Izvi ndizvo zvavachawana nokuda kwokuzvikudza kwavo, nokuti vakatuka uye vakadadira vanhu vaJehovha Wamasimba Ose.
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 Jehovha achava anotyisa kwavari paachaparadza vamwari vose venyika. Ndudzi pamahombekombe ose dzichamunamata, rudzi rumwe norumwe munyika yarwo.
[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 “Nemiwo, imi vaEtiopia, muchaparadzwa nomunondo wangu.”
Also you O Cushites [are those] slain of sword my they.
13 Achatambanudza ruoko rwake kuti arwise nyika yokumusoro agoparadza Asiria, achasiya Ninevhe rava dongo zvachose uye raoma segwenga.
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 Mapoka amakwai nemombe zvichavata pasi imomo, nezvipuka zvamarudzi ose. Zizi romurenje nezizi romurwizi zvichavata pamusoro pembiru dzavo. Kudana kwazvo kuchaungira nomumawindo, marara achava pamisuo yavo, mapango omusidhari achasiyiwa pachena.
And they will lie down in [the] midst of it herds every animal of a nation both desert owl as well as hedgehog on capitals its they will spend [the] night a sound it will sing in the window desolation [will be] on the threshold for cedar-work he will lay bare.
15 Iri ndiro guta risina hanya raigara vakachengetedzeka. Rakati mumwoyo maro, “Ndini, uye hakuna mumwe kunze kwangu.” Razova dongo rakadii, nzvimbo inovata mhuka dzesango! Vose vanopfuura napariri vanoseka Uye vanokunga zvibhakera zvavo.
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.
