Zephaniah 1
1 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.
O KA olelo a Iehova, ka mea i hiki mai io Zepania la i ke keiki a Kusi, ke keiki a Gedalia, ke keiki a Amaria, ke keiki a Hizekia, i na la o Iosia ke keiki a Amona, ke alii o ka Iuda.
2 I will utterly destroy everything from off the face of the earth, says the Lord.
E lawe loa aku auanei au i na mea a pau mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
3 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.
E lawe auanei au i na kanaka a me na holoholona; E lawe auanei au i na manu o ka lewa, a me na ia o ke kai, A me na mea e hina ai, me ka poe hewa; A e hooki iho hoi au i na kanaka mai luna aku o ka aina, wahi a Iehova.
4 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,
E kau aku hoi au i kuu lima maluna o ka Iuda, A me na kanaka a pau o Ierusalema: A e hooki iho au i ke koena o ko Baala, mai keia wahi aku, A me ka inoa o na mea hoomanakii a me na kahuna hoi;
5 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,
A me ka poe hoomana i ka puali o ka lani maluna o na hale; A me ka poe hoomana, a hoohiki hoi ma Iehova, A me ka hoohiki ma Malekama;
6 and those who turn back from following the Lord, And those who do not seek the Lord nor strive to find him.
A me ka poe i hoi ihope mai o Iehova aku; A me ka poe aole i imi ia Iehova, aole hoi i ninau aku nona.
7 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.
E hamau oe ma ke alo o Iehova ka Haku: No ka mea, ua kokoke mai nei ka la o Iehova: No ka mea, ua hoomakaukau mai la o Iehova i ka mohai, A ua hoolaa iho la oia i kona poe hoaai.
8 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.
A i ka la o ko Iehova mohai ana, E hoopai auanei au i na alii a me na keiki a ke alii, A me ka poe a pau i aahuia i na kapa e.
9 On that day: I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their lord with violence and deceit.
Ia la no, e hoopai au i ka poe a pau e lele ana maluna o ka paepae puka, A e hoopiha i ka hale o ko lakou haku i na mea i hao wale ia a me ka hoopunipuni.
10 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.
A ia la no, wahi a Iehova, He leo no ka uwe ana mai ka puka-ia mai, A he aoa ana mai ka apana alua mai, A me ka luku nui ana mai na puu mai.
11 Those who live in the Mortar wail, for all the traders are silenced, the money counters wiped out.
E kanikau oukou, e na kanaka o Maketesa; No ka mea, ua hookiia ae na kanaka kuai a pau; O ka poe a pau i kaumaha i ke kala, ua okiia.
12 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.’
Ia manawa no, e huli iho no wau ia Ierusalema me na kukui, A e hoopai i ka poe e noho paakiki ana maluna o ko lakou maku; E olelo ana iloko o ko lakou naau, Aole e hana mai ana o Iehova i ka maikai, aole hoi e hana ia i ka ino.
13 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.
Nolaila, e lilo auanei ko lakou waiwai i pio, A me na hale o lakou i neoneo: E kapili lakou i na hale, aole hoi e noho iloko; E kanu lakou i na malawaina, aole hoi e inu i ka waina olaila.
14 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.
Ua kokoke mai ka la nui o Iehova, ua kokoke mai, A e wikiwiki loa mai ana ka leo no ka la o Iehova: Ilaila e uwe nui ai ke kanaka ikaika.
15 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,
He la no ka inaina ua la la, He la popilikia a me ka poino, He la e hao wale ia'i a me ka hooneoneo, He la pouli wale a me ka poeleele, He la e uhi mai ai na ao a me ka pouli paapu,
16 a day of the trumpet and battle-cry, against the fortified cities and against the high battlements.
He la o ka pu kani a me ka hookani ana, E ku e i na kulanakauhale i puni i ka pa, a me na halekiai kiekie.
17 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.
A e hoopilikia no wau i na kanaka, I hele ai lakou e like me na makapo, No ka mea, ua hana hewa aku lakou ia Iehova; A e nininiia aku ko lakou koko e like me ka lepo, A o ko lakou io e like me ka opala.
18 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.
Aole hoi e hiki i ka lakou kala, Aole hoi i ka lakou gula ke hoopakele ia lakou i ka la o ko Iehova inaina; Aka, e pau auanei ka aina a pau i ke ahi o kona lili ana; No ka mea e hoopau koke ana oia i ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ka aina.
