Sefanyaah 1
1 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo u yimid Sefanyaah ina Kuushii, ina Gedalyaah, ina Amaryaah, ina Xisqiyaah, wakhtigii Yoosiyaah ina Aamoon uu boqorka ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah.
The Lord’s message, which came to Zephaniah, son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the time of Josiah of Judah who was son of Amon.
2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu wax kasta waan ka baabbi'in doonaa dhulka korkiisa.
I will utterly destroy everything from off the face of the earth, says the Lord.
3 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dad iyo duunyoba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, haadda samada iyo kalluunka baddaba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo waxa lagu turunturoodo iyo sharrowyadaba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo binu-aadmigana waan ka gooyn doonaa dhulka korkiisa.
I will sweep away human and animal, the birds of the sky and the fish of the sea. I will cause the wicked to stumble, and I will cut off humanity from the face of the earth, says the Lord.
4 Oo gacantaydaan ku soo kor fidin doonaa dalka Yahuudah iyo inta Yeruusaalem deggan oo dhan, oo intii Bacal ka hadhayna meeshan waan ka gooyn doonaa, iyo magaca Kemaariim iyo wadaaddada,
I will stretch out my hand over Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off from this place the last remnant of Baal and the name of the heathen priests,
5 iyo kuwa ciidanka samada ku caabuda guryaha dhaladooda, iyo kuwa Rabbiga caabuda oo ku dhaarta oo haddana ku dhaarta Malkaam,
and those who worship on the housetops to the stars in the sky, and those worshippers of the Lord who also pay homage to Milcom,
6 iyo kuwa dib uga noqday Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, iyo kuwa aan Rabbiga doondoonin ama aan isaga innaba wax ka baryin.
and those who turn back from following the Lord, And those who do not seek the Lord nor strive to find him.
7 Sayidka Rabbiga ah hortiisa ku aamus, maxaa yeelay, maalintii Rabbigu waa soo dhow dahay, waayo, Rabbigu waa diyaariyey allabari, oo martidiisiina quduus buu ka dhigay.
Be silent before the Lord God, for near is the day of the Lord, for the Lord has prepared a sacrifice, he has sanctified his guests.
8 Oo maalinta Rabbiga allabarigiisa ayaan ciqaabi doonaa amiirrada iyo wiilasha boqorka, iyo inta dharka qalaad xidhan oo dhanba.
On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice: I will punish the officers and the royal princes, and all those who clothe themselves in foreign apparel.
9 Maalintaas waxaan wada ciqaabi doonaa kuwa marinka ka booda, oo guriga sayidkooda ka buuxiya dulmi iyo khiyaano.
On that day: I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit.
10 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Isla maalintaas qaylo dhawaaqeed ayaa ka yeedhi doona Iridda Kalluunka, oo magaalada inteeda labaadna waxaa ka yeedhi doonta baroor, kurahana waxaa ka yeedhi doona daryaan weyn.
Listen on that day, says the Lord: A cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, and a wailing from the New Quarter, and a great din from the hills.
11 Kuwiinna Makteesh degganow, qayliya, waayo, dadkii reer Kancaan oo dhammu waa dhammaaday, oo kuwii lacagta ku rarnaa oo dhammu waa baabba'.
Those who live in the Mortar wail, for all the traders are silenced, the money counters wiped out.
12 Oo wakhtigaas ayaan Yeruusaalem laambado ku baadhi doonaa, waanan ciqaabi doonaa dadka gufarkooda isaga fadhiyey sida khamri deggan oo kale, oo qalbigooda iska yidhaahda, Rabbigu wax wanaagsan samayn maayo, wax shar ahna samayn maayo.
I will search Jerusalem with a lamp, I will punish those who are at ease, who sit comfortably with their wine, who say to themselves, ‘the Lord brings neither prosperity nor calamity.’
13 Maalkoodu wuxuu noqon doonaa wax la boobo, guryahooduna waxay noqon doonaan meel baabba' ah, haah, oo waxay dhisan doonaan guryo, laakiinse ma ay degi doonaan, oo waxay beeran doonaan beero canab ah, laakiinse khamrigooda ma ay cabbi doonaan.
Their wealth will become a prey and their houses a desolation. Though they build houses, they will not inhabit them; though they plant vineyards, they will not drink wine from them.
14 Maalintii weynayd oo Rabbigu way soo dhow dahay, way soo dhow dahay, oo aad bay u soo degdegaysaa. Dhawaaqi maalinta Rabbigu mar dhow buu yeedhi doonaa, dadka xoogga badanuna halkaasay si qadhaadh ah uga qaylin doonaan.
Near is the day of the Lord! Near and rapidly approaching! Near is the bitter day of the Lord, and the scream of the warrior.
15 Maalintaasu waa maalin ay cadho jirto, oo waa maalin ay jiraan dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi, oo waa maalin ay jiraan dumin iyo baabbi'in, oo waa maalin ay jiraan gudcur iyo mugdi madow, oo waa maalin ay jiraan daruuro iyo gudcur dam ah,
That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 oo waa maalin ay jiraan buun iyo qaylo dagaaleed oo ka gees ah magaalooyinka deyrka leh, iyo munaaradaha dhaadheer.
a day of the trumpet and battle-cry, against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.
17 Dadka waxaan ku soo dejin doonaa cidhiidhi inay u socdaan sidii dad indha la', maxaa yeelay, Rabbigay ku dembaabeen, oo dhiiggoodu wuxuu u daadan doonaa sida boodh oo kale, hilibkooduna sida digo oo kale.
And I will bring distress upon the people and they will walk as the blind, because they have sinned against the Lord, and their blood will be poured out as dust and their flesh as dung.
18 Oo maalinta cadhada Rabbiga lacagtooda iyo dahabkooda midna kama samatabbixin doono iyaga, laakiinse dalka oo dhan waxaa baabbi'in doona dabka qiiradiisa, oo dhulka waxa deggan oo dhanna haddiiba dhaqsiyuu u wada dhammayn doonaa.
Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to save them. For in the day of the wrath of the Lord and in the fire of his fury the whole earth will be consumed. For he will make a speedy end of all the inhabitants of the earth.
