Sefanaia 3
1 Ke malaʻia kiate ia ʻoku ʻuli mo taʻemaʻa, ki he kolo ʻoku fakamālohi!
Væ provocatrix, et redempta civitas, columba.
2 Naʻe ʻikai te ne talangofua ki he leʻo naʻe ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe ia ʻae akonaki; naʻe ʻikai ke falala ia kia Sihova; naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻunuʻunu atu ki hono ʻOtua.
Non audivit vocem, et non suscepit disciplinam: in Domino non est confisa, ad Deum suum non appropinquavit.
3 Ko hono houʻeiki ʻi ai ko e fanga laione ngungulu; ko ʻene kau fakamaau ko e fanga ulofi ʻoe efiafi; ʻoku nau tatali ke nau kai pongipongi ʻae ngaahi hui.
Principes eius in medio eius quasi leones rugientes: iudices eius lupi vespere, non relinquebant in mane.
4 Ko e kakai maʻamaʻa mo kākā ʻa ʻene kau palōfita: kuo fakaʻuliʻi ʻae falelotu ʻe heʻene kau taulaʻeiki, kuo nau maumauʻi ʻae fono.
Prophetæ eius vesani, viri infideles: sacerdotes eius polluerunt sanctum, iniuste egerunt contra legem.
5 ʻOku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo ia, ʻa Sihova, angatonu; ʻe ʻikai te ne fai ha meʻa hala; ʻoku ʻomi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene fakamaau ki he maama ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻikai te ne siʻaki; ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ha mā ʻe he taʻeangatonu.
Dominus iustus in medio eius non faciet iniquitatem: mane, mane iudicium suum dabit in lucem, et non abscondetur: nescivit autem iniquus confusionem.
6 Kuo u tuʻusi ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga: kuo ʻuha ʻa honau ngaahi fale māʻolunga; ne u fakalala ʻa honau ngaahi hala, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu atu ai ha taha: kuo maumauʻi ʻa honau ngaahi kolo, ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha tangata, ʻoku ʻikai ai ha taha ʻoku nofo ai.
Disperdidi Gentes, et dissipati sunt anguli earum: desertas feci vias eorum, dum non est qui transeat: desolatæ sunt civitates eorum, non remanente viro, neque ullo habitatore.
7 Naʻaku pehē, “Ko e moʻoni, te ke manavahē kiate au, te ke maʻu ʻae akonaki; ko ia ʻe ʻikai tuʻusi ai honau nofoʻanga neongo ʻeku tautea ai ʻakinautolu,” naʻa nau tuʻu vave hake, ʻo fakalieliaʻi ʻa ʻenau ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē.
Dixi: Attamen timebis me, suscipies disciplinam: et non peribit habitaculum eius propter omnia, in quibus visitavi eam: verumtamen diluculo surgentes corruperunt omnes cogitationes suas.
8 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Ko ia mou tatali kiate au, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho te u tuʻu hake ki he maumau; he kuo u pau pe ke tānaki ʻae ngaahi fonua, ke u fakataha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga, ke huaʻi kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻeku tuputāmaki, ʻio, ʻa ʻeku houhau kakaha kotoa pē: koeʻuhi ʻe keina ʻa māmani kotoa pē ʻaki ʻae afi ʻo ʻeku fuaʻa.
Quapropter expecta me, dicit Dominus, in die resurrectionis meæ in futurum, quia iudicium meum ut congregem Gentes, et colligam regna: et effundam super eos indignationem meam, omnem iram furoris mei: in igne enim zeli mei devorabitur omnis terra.
9 Pea hili ia te u ʻomi ʻae lea maʻa ki he kakai, koeʻuhi ke nau ui kotoa pē ki he huafa ʻo Sihova, ke tauhi kiate ia ʻi he uouangataha.
Quia tunc reddam populis labium electum, ut invocent omnes in nomine Domini, et serviant ei humero uno.
10 ʻE ʻomi mei he tuʻa vaitafe ʻo ʻItiopea ʻae feilaulau kiate au, ʻekinautolu ʻoku hū kiate au, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo ʻeku kakai, kuo fakamovetevete.
Ultra flumina Æthiopiæ, inde supplices mei, filii dispersorum meorum deferent munus mihi.
11 ʻI he ʻaho ko ia ʻe ʻikai te ke mā koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ke angahala ai kiate au: koeʻuhi te u toʻo atu mei he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻakinautolu ʻoku fiefia ʻi hoʻo fielahi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke toe angahiki, koeʻuhi ko hoku moʻunga māʻoniʻoni.
In die illa non confunderis super cunctis adinventionibus tuis, quibus prævaricata es in me: quia tunc auferam de medio tui magniloquos superbiæ tuæ, et non adiicies exaltari amplius in monte sancto meo.
12 Te u tuku foki ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou, ʻae kakai angavaivai mo masiva, pea te nau falala ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.
Et derelinquam in medio tui populum pauperem, et egenum: et sperabunt in nomine Domini.
13 ʻE ʻikai fai angahala ʻe he toenga ʻo ʻIsileli, pe lea loi; pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻi honau ngutu ʻae ʻelelo kākā: he te nau kai mo tokoto, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe ha taha.”
Reliquiæ Israel non facient iniquitatem, nec loquentur mendacium, et non invenietur in ore eorum lingua dolosa: quoniam ipsi pascentur, et accubabunt, et non erit qui exterreat.
14 Ke hiva, ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Saione kalanga, ʻE ʻIsileli; ke fiefia mo nekeneka ʻaki ʻae loto kotoa, ʻE ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema.
Lauda filia Sion: iubila Israel: lætare, et exulta in omni corde filia Ierusalem.
15 Kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova ʻa ho ngaahi tautea, kuo ne kapusi kituʻa ho fili: ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻio, ko Sihova, ʻoku ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou: ʻe ʻikai te ke toe mamata ki ha kovi.
Abstulit Dominus iudicium tuum, avertit inimicos tuos: rex Israel Dominus in medio tui, non timebis malum ultra.
16 ʻE pehē ki Selūsalema ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, “ʻOua te ke manavahē: pea ki Saione, ʻoua naʻa tuku ke vaivai ho nima.”
In die illa dicetur Ierusalem: Noli timere: Sion, non dissolvantur manus tuæ.
17 ʻOku māfimafi ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoʻou; te ne fakamoʻui, te ne fiefia ʻiate koe, ʻaki ʻae fiefia: ʻe mālōlō ʻe ia ʻi heʻene ʻofa, te ne fiefia ʻiate koe ʻaki ʻae hiva.
Dominus Deus tuus in medio tui fortis, ipse salvabit: gaudebit super te in lætitia, silebit in dilectione sua, exultabit super te in laude.
18 Te u tānaki meiate koe ʻakinautolu ʻoku mamahi, koeʻuhi ko e fakataha mamalu, ko e manuki ʻo ia, ko e meʻa mamafa kiate kinautolu.
Nugas, qui a lege recesserant, congregabo, quia ex te erant: ut non ultra habeas super eis opprobrium.
19 Vakai, ʻi he kuonga ko ia, te u veteki ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fakamamahiʻi koe; pea te u fakamoʻui ia ʻoku ketu, mo fakataha ia naʻe kapusi kituʻa; pea te u maʻu ʻae fakamālō, mo e ongoongo kiate kinautolu ʻi he fonua kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fakamaaʻi ai ʻakinautolu.
Ecce ego interficiam omnes, qui afflixerunt te in tempore illo: et salvabo claudicantem: et eam, quæ eiecta fuerat congregabo: et ponam eos in laudem, et in nomen, in omni terra confusionis eorum.
20 ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Te u toe ʻomi ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻio, ʻi he kuonga te u fakataha ai ʻakimoutolu: he te u ngaohi maʻamoutolu ʻae hingoa, mo e ongoongolelei ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ʻo kau ka liliu ʻa homou fakapōpula ʻi he ʻao ʻo homou mata.
In tempore illo, quo adducam vos: et in tempore, quo congregabo vos: dabo enim vos in nomen, et in laudem omnibus populis terræ, cum convertero captivitatem vestram coram oculis vestris, dicit Dominus.
