< Sefanyaah 2 >

1 Isa soo urursada, quruuntan aan xishoodka lahaynay, isa soo urursada,
Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O shameless nation;
2 intaan amarku soo bixin, oo aan maalintu u dhaafin sida xaab oo kale, intaan Rabbiga xanaaqiisa kululu idinku soo degin, intaan maalinta cadhada Rabbigu idinku soo degin.
Before the decree bring forth the day when one passeth as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.
3 Rabbiga doondoona, dhammaantiin kuwiinna camalka qabow ee dhulkow, oo xukunkiisa yeelayow, xaqnimo doondoona, oo qabownaan doondoona. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad maalinta cadhada Rabbiga qarsoonaan doontaan.
Seek ye the LORD, all ye humble of the earth, that have executed His ordinance; seek righteousness, seek humility. It may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
4 Waayo, Gaasa waa la dayrin doonaa, oo Ashqeloonna waxay noqon doontaa meel cidla ah, oo dadka Ashdoodna waxaa la eryi doonaa hadh cad, Ceqroonna waa la rujin doonaa.
For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation; they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
5 Waxaa iska hoogay dadka deggan badda xeebteeda, waana quruunta reer Kereetiim! Kancaan oo ah dalka reer Falastiinow, Rabbiga eraygiisu waa kaa gees. Waan ku baabbi'in doonaa si aan qof keliyuhuna kuu sii degganaan.
Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea-coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, the land of the Philistines; I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
6 Badda xeebteedu waxay noqon doontaa berrimmo daaqsiin ah, oo leh rug adhijirro iyo xeryo adhi.
And the sea-coast shall be pastures, even meadows for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 Oo xeebta waxaa yeelan doona kuwa dadka Yahuudah ka hadhay. Iyana adhyahooda ayay halkaas daaqsan doonaan, oo fiidkiina waxay jiifsan doonaan guryihii reer Ashqeloon, waayo, Ilaaha Rabbigooda ah ayaa iyaga soo booqan doona, oo maxaabiistoodiina wuu soo celin doonaa.
And it shall be a portion for the remnant of the house of Judah, whereon they shall feed; in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening; for the LORD their God will remember them, and turn their captivity.
8 Anigu waan maqlay caydii reer Moo'aab iyo canaantii reer Cammoon oo ay dadkayga ku caayeen, iyo inay iska sii weyneeyeen soohdintooda.
I have heard the taunt of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have taunted My people, and spoken boastfully concerning their border.
9 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartay oo sida xaqiiqada ah Moo'aab waxay noqon doontaa sida Sodom oo kale, oo reer Cammoonna waxay noqon doonaan sida Gomora oo kale, oo waxay ahaan doonaan meel maraboob ka baxo, iyo godad cusbo, iyo meel had iyo goor cidla ah. Kuwa dadkayga ka hadhay ayaa dhici doona oo inta quruuntayda ka hadhay ayaa dhaxli doonta.
Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding-place of nettles, and saltpits, and a desolation, for ever; the residue of My people shall spoil them, and the remnant of My nation shall inherit them.
10 Kibirkoodii aawadiis ayay waxan u heli doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay caayeen oo iska weynaysiiyeen dadkii Rabbiga ciidammada.
This shall they have for their pride, because they have taunted and spoken boastfully against the people of the LORD of hosts.
11 Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga u noqon doonaa mid aad looga cabsado, waayo, wuu wada macaluulin doonaa ilaahyada dhulka oo dhan, kolkaasay dadku isaga caabudi doonaan, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu isaga ka caabudi doonaa meeshiisa, oo xataa quruumaha gasiiraduhu way wada caabudi doonaan isaga.
The LORD will be terrible unto them; for He will famish all the gods of the earth; then shall all the isles of the nations worship Him, every one from its place.
12 Oo weliba reer Itoobiyow, idinkana waxaa laydinku layn doonaa seeftayda.
Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by My sword.
13 Oo isagu gacantiisuu u fidin doonaa xagga woqooyi, oo dalka Ashuur wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo Ninewehna cidla buu ka dhigi doonaa iyo lamadegaan engegan.
And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like the wilderness.
14 Oo waxaa dhexdeeda jiifsan doona xoolo iyo xayawaanka quruumaha oo dhan, oo cantalyaaga iyo caanaqubtuba waxay ku dhex hoyan doonaan tiirarkeeda. Cod baa ka gabyi doona daaqadaheeda, oo waxaa marinnada joogi doona abaar, waayo, isagu wuu soo bandhigay shuqulkii qoriga kedarka ah laga qabtay.
And all beasts of every kind shall lie down in the midst of her in herds; both the pelican and the bittern shall lodge in the capitals thereof; voices shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the posts; for the cedar-work thereof shall be uncovered.
15 Tanu waa magaaladii faraxa badnayd oo feyigla'aanta ku degganayd, oo qalbiga iska tidhi, Anigaa ah, oo aniga mooyaane mid kale ma jirto. Waxay noqotay cidla iyo meel dugaag ku hoydo! Mid kasta oo agteeda soo maraaba wuu ku foodhyi doonaa oo gacanta quudhsasho la ruxi doonaa.
This is the joyous city that dwelt without care, that said in her heart: 'I am, and there is none else beside me'; how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! Every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
