Zǝfaniya 1
1 Amonning oƣli Yosiya Yǝⱨudaƣa padixaⱨ bolƣan waⱪitlarda, Ⱨǝzǝkiyaning qǝwrisi, Amariyaning ǝwrisi, Gǝdaliyaning nǝwrisi, Kuxining oƣli Zǝfaniyaƣa yǝtkǝn Pǝrwǝrdigarning sɵzi: —
[I am] Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, and the great-grandson of Amariah, whose father was [King] Hezekiah. Yahweh gave this message to me during the time when [King] Amon’s son Josiah was the King of Judah.
2 Mǝn yǝr yüzidin ⱨǝmmini ⱪurutuwetimǝn, — dǝydu Pǝrwǝrdigar;
Yahweh says, “I will (sweep away/destroy) everything [HYP] that is on the earth.
3 — Insan ⱨǝm ⱨaywanni ⱪurutuwetimǝn, Asmandiki uqar-ⱪanatlar ⱨǝm dengizdiki beliⱪlarni, Barliⱪ putlikaxanglarni rǝzil adǝmlǝr bilǝn tǝng ⱪurutuwetimǝn, Insaniyǝtni yǝr yüzidin üzüp taxlaymǝn, — dǝydu Pǝrwǝrdigar.
I will sweep away people and animals. I will sweep away birds and fish. I will get rid of wicked people; there will be no more [wicked] [HYP] people on the earth.”
4 — Xuning bilǝn Mǝn Yǝⱨuda üstigǝ, Barliⱪ Yerusalemdikilǝr üstigǝ ⱪolumni sozimǝn; Muxu yǝrdǝ «Baal»ning ⱪalduⱪini, «Ⱪemar»larning namini kaⱨinlar bilǝn billǝ üzüp taxlaymǝn;
“[These are some of the things that I will do]: I will punish the people who live in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah. I will destroy everything that has been used in the worship of Baal. I will cause [people] to no longer remember the names of the pagan priests or the [other] priests [who have turned away from me].
5 Xundaⱪla ɵgzidǝ turup asmandiki jisimlarƣa bax uridiƣanlarni, Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa bax urup, xundaⱪla Uning nami bilǝn ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilip turup, «Malkam»ning nami bilǝnmu ⱪǝsǝm ⱪilidiƣanlarni,
[I will get rid of] those who go up on the roofs [of their houses] and worship the sun and moon and stars, those who claim that they worship me but [also] worship [their god] Molech.
6 Pǝrwǝrdigardin tǝzgǝnlǝrni, Pǝrwǝrdigarni izdimǝydiƣan yaki Uningdin yol sorimiƣanlarnimu üzüp taxlaymǝn.
I will get rid of all those who previously worshiped me but no longer do, those who no [longer] seek my [help or ask me to tell them what they should do.”]
7 Rǝb Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱨuzuri aldida süküt ⱪilinglar; Qünki Pǝrwǝrdigarning küni yeⱪindur; Qünki Pǝrwǝrdigar ⱪurbanliⱪni tǝyyarlidi, U meⱨmanlarni «taⱨarǝt ⱪildurup» ⱨalal ⱪildi;
Be silent in front of Yahweh the Lord, because it will soon be the time/day when Yahweh [will judge and punish people]. Yahweh has prepared to get rid of [the people of Judah]; they will be like [MET] animals that are slaughtered for sacrifices, and he has chosen [their enemies] to be the ones who will get rid of them.
8 Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪurbanliⱪining künidǝ xundaⱪ boliduki, Mǝn ǝmirlǝrni, padixaⱨlarning oƣullirini wǝ yat ǝllǝrning kiyimlirini kiyiwalƣanlarning ⱨǝmmisini jazalaymǝn;
Yahweh says, “On that day when I will get rid of [the people of Judah], [I will punish] their officials and the king’s sons, and [I will punish] all those who worship foreign gods [MTY].
9 Xu küni Mǝn bosuƣidin dǝssimǝy atlaydiƣanlarni, Yǝni zulum-zorawanliⱪ ⱨǝm aldamqiliⱪⱪa tayinip, hojayinlirining ɵylirini tolduridiƣanlarni jazalaymǝn.
I will punish those who [show that they revere their god Dagan] by avoiding stepping on the threshold [of his temple], and those who do violent things and tell lies in the temples of their gods.”
10 Xu künidǝ, — dǝydu Pǝrwǝrdigar, «Beliⱪ dǝrwazisi»din «Waydad», «Ikkinqi mǝⱨǝllǝ»din ⱨɵrkirǝxlǝr, Dɵng-egizliklǝrdin ƣayǝt zor «gum-gum» ⱪilip wǝyran ⱪilinƣan awazlar anglinidu.
Yahweh [also] says, “On that day, people will cry [out] at the Fish Gate [of Jerusalem]. People will wail in the newer part of the city, and [people will hear] a loud crash [of buildings collapsing] in the hills.
11 «Ⱨɵrkirǝnglar, i «Oymanliⱪ mǝⱨǝllisi»dikilǝr; Qünki «sodigǝr hǝlⱪ»ning ⱨǝmmisi ⱪiliqlandi, Kümüx bilǝn qingdalƣanlar ⱪirildi!»
[So, all you] people who live in the market area [of Jerusalem] should wail, because all those who sell goods and weigh out silver will be slaughtered.
12 — Wǝ xu qaƣda xundaⱪ boliduki, Mǝn Yerusalemni qiraƣlar bilǝn ahturimǝn, Arzangliri üstidǝ tinƣan xarabtǝk turƣan ǝndixisiz adǝmlǝrni, Yǝni kɵnglidǝ: «Pǝrwǝrdigar ⱨeq yahxiliⱪni ⱪilmaydu, yamanliⱪnimu ⱪilmaydu» degǝnlǝrni jazalaymǝn.
[It will be as though] I will light lanterns to search in [dark places in] Jerusalem for those who have become very satisfied with their behavior and complacent [about their sins]. They think that [I], Yahweh, will do nothing to them, neither good things nor bad things.
13 Əmdi bayliⱪliri olja, Ɵyliri bǝrbat bolidu; Ular ɵylǝrni salƣini bilǝn, Ularda turmaydu; Üzümzarlarni bǝrpa ⱪilƣini bilǝn, Ularning xarabini iqmǝydu.
[But I say that] their valuable possessions will be plundered/stolen [by their enemies], and their houses will be destroyed. They will build [new] homes, but they will not live in them; they will plant vineyards, but they will never drink [any] wine [made from grapes that grow there].”
14 Pǝrwǝrdigarning uluƣ küni yeⱪindur; Bǝrⱨǝⱪ yeⱪindur, intayin tez yetip kelidu; Angla, Pǝrwǝrdigarning künining sadasi! Yetip kǝlgǝndǝ palwanmu ǝlǝmlik warⱪiraydu.
It will soon be the day/time when Yahweh [will punish people]. It will be here quickly. It will be a time [when people cry] bitterly, a time when [even] brave soldiers will cry loudly.
15 Xu küni ⱪǝⱨr elip kelidiƣan bir kün, Külpǝtlik ⱨǝm dǝrd-ǝlǝmlik bir kün, Wǝyranqiliⱪ ⱨǝm bǝrbatliⱪ qüxidiƣan bir kün, Zulmǝtlik ⱨǝm sürlük bir kün, Bulutlar ⱨǝm ⱪap-ⱪarangƣuluⱪ bilǝn ⱪaplanƣan bir kün,
It will be a time when [God shows that he is] very angry, a time when [people experience much] distress/suffering and trouble. [It will be] a time [when many things are] ruined and destroyed [DOU]. It will be a time when it is very gloomy and dark [DOU], when the clouds are very black.
16 Istiⱨkamlaxⱪan xǝⱨǝrlǝrgǝ, sepilning egiz potǝylirigǝ ⱨujum ⱪilidiƣan, Kanay qelinidiƣan, agaⱨ signali kɵtürülidiƣan bir kün bolidu.
It will be a time when [soldiers] will blow trumpets [to call other soldiers] to battle. [Your enemies] will tear down the walls around your cities and the high towers [at the corners of those walls].
17 Mǝn adǝmlǝr üstigǝ külpǝtlǝrni qüxürimǝn, — Ular ⱪariƣulardǝk yüridu; Qünki ular Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa ⱪarxi gunaⱨ ⱪildi; Ularning ⱪanliri topa-qangdǝk, Ularning üqǝy-ⱪerinliri poⱪtǝk tɵkülidu;
Because you sinned against Yahweh, he will cause you to experience great distress; you will walk [around groping] like [SIM] blind people do. Your blood will flow [from your bodies] like [SIM] water, and your corpses will lie on the ground and rot [SIM].
18 Pǝrwǝrdigarning ⱪǝⱨri qüxkǝn künidǝ altun-kümüxliri ularni ⱪutⱪuzalmaydu; Bǝlki pütkül jaⱨan Uning ƣǝzǝp oti tǝripidin yǝwetilidu; Qünki U barliⱪ yǝr yüzidikilǝrning üstigǝ mutlǝⱪ bir ⱨalakǝt, dǝⱨxǝtlik bir ⱨalakǝt qüxüridu.
At the time that [Yahweh shows that he] is very angry [with you], you will not be able to save yourselves by [giving] silver or gold [to your enemies]. Because Yahweh (is very jealous/does not want people to worship any other god), he will send a fire to burn up the entire world, and he will suddenly get rid of all the [wicked] people who live on the earth.
