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.
This is the message that the Lord gave to Zephaniah. He was the son of Cushti, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. This happened when Josiah, son of Amon, was king of Judah.
2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu wax kasta waan ka baabbi'in doonaa dhulka korkiisa.
I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth, declares 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 people and animals, I will sweep away the birds of the air and the fish of the sea. I will overthrow the wicked; I will destroy human beings from the face of the earth.
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 strike Judah and everyone who lives in Jerusalem. I will destroy all that remains of their Baal worship along with their pagan priests so that even their names will be forgotten.
5 iyo kuwa ciidanka samada ku caabuda guryaha dhaladooda, iyo kuwa Rabbiga caabuda oo ku dhaarta oo haddana ku dhaarta Malkaam,
I will destroy those who go up to the rooftops to bow down before the sun, moon, and stars. They also bow down and swear allegiance to the Lord, but then they do the same to Milcom.
6 iyo kuwa dib uga noqday Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, iyo kuwa aan Rabbiga doondoonin ama aan isaga innaba wax ka baryin.
I will destroy those who once worshiped the Lord but don't anymore. They don't seek the Lord or ask for my help.
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 the day of the Lord is near: the Lord has prepared a sacrifice and consecrated his guests.
8 Oo maalinta Rabbiga allabarigiisa ayaan ciqaabi doonaa amiirrada iyo wiilasha boqorka, iyo inta dharka qalaad xidhan oo dhanba.
Then on the day of the Lord's sacrifice I will punish the officials and the king's sons, and those who follow pagan ways.
9 Maalintaas waxaan wada ciqaabi doonaa kuwa marinka ka booda, oo guriga sayidkooda ka buuxiya dulmi iyo khiyaano.
I will also punish those who jump over the threshold. On that day I will punish those who fill up their masters' houses using violence and deception.
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.
On that day, declares the Lord, a cry of grief will come from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second Quarter, and a loud crash 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 Market District will wail in sorrow, for all the merchants are destroyed, along with those who trade in silver.
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.
At that time I will search through Jerusalem with lamps and I will punish those self-satisfied people, who are like wine left on its dregs, who say to themselves, “The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil.”
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 possessions will be looted; their houses will be demolished. They will build houses, but not live in them; they will plant vineyards, but not drink the wine.
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.
The great day of the Lord is near and approaching rapidly. It will be a bitter day—even warriors will cry out loud.
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,
It will be a day of anger, a day of trouble and distress, a day of disaster and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16 oo waa maalin ay jiraan buun iyo qaylo dagaaleed oo ka gees ah magaalooyinka deyrka leh, iyo munaaradaha dhaadheer.
a day of trumpet calls and battle cries against fortified cities and watchtowers.
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.
I will bring trouble on humanity, making them walk like blind people because they have sinned against the Lord. Their blood will be spilled like so much dust; their intestines like 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.
Their silver and their gold won't help to save them on the day of the Lord's anger. The whole earth will be burned up by the fire of his jealous anger. He will make sure the end of the people of the world is sudden and complete.
