< Zephaniah 2 >

1 Gather your selues, euen gather you, O nation not worthie to be loued,
Mutunfacl sumwekin, kom in asmakla
2 Before the decree come foorth, and ye be as chaffe that passeth in a day, and before the fierce wrath of the Lord come vpon you, and before the day of the Lords anger come vpon you.
meet liki kom fah ukyukla oana kulun wheat ma eng uh okla, meet liki kasrkusrak upa lun LEUM GOD tuku nu fom oana firir lun e uh, meet liki len se El akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
3 Seeke yee the Lord all the meeke of the earth, which haue wrought his iudgement: seeke righteousnesse, seeke lowlinesse, if so bee that ye may be hid in the day of the Lords wrath.
Suk LEUM GOD, kowos mwet pusisel nukewa fin acn uh, su akos ma sap lal. Oru ma suwohs, ac akpusiselye kowos sifacna ye mutun LEUM GOD. Sahp kowos fah ku in kaingla liki kaiyuk in len se LEUM GOD El ac fah akkalemye kasrkusrak lal.
4 For Azzah shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon desolate: they shall driue out Ashdod at the noone day, and Ekron shalbe rooted vp.
Wangin sie mwet ac fah lula in siti Gaza. Ashkelon ac fah wanginla mwet muta we. Mwet in Ashdod ac fah lisyukla ke tafun len na, ac mwet in Ekron ac fah ukohkyak liki siti selos.
5 Wo vnto the inhabitants of the sea coast. the nation of the Cherethims, the worde of the Lord is against you: O Canaan, the lande of the Philistims, I will euen destroye thee without an inhabitant.
Kowos mwet Philistia su muta weacn uh, kowos ac fah kunausyukla. LEUM GOD El orala tari nununku lal nu suwos. El ac kunauskowosla, ac tia sie suwos fah lula.
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cotages for shepheardes and sheepefoldes.
Acn lowos sisken meoa uh ac fah mwesisla, ac lohm sin mwet shepherd ac kalkal in sheep fah oan we.
7 And that coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Iudah, to feede thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lodge toward night: for the Lord their God shall visite them, and turne away their captiuitie.
Mwet Judah su moulla ac fah utyak ac muta fin acn lowos. Elos ac fah orala acn uh nu ke nien mongo lun un kosro natulos, ac motul in lohm sin mwet Ashkelon. LEUM GOD lalos fah welulos ac sifilpa akkasrupyalos.
8 I haue heard the reproch of Moab, and the rebukes of the children of Ammon, whereby they vpbraided my people, and magnified themselues against their borders.
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga lohng ke mwet Moab ac mwet Ammon elos fahk kas in akkolukye ac aksruksruki mwet luk, ac konkin mu elos ac eisla acn selos.
9 Therefore, as I liue, saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall bee as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorah, euen the breeding of nettels and salt pittes, and a perpetuall desolation: the residue of my folke shall spoyle them, and the remnant of my people shall possesse them.
In oana ke nga pa LEUM GOD moul, God lun Israel, nga fahkot na pwaye lah acn Moab ac Ammon ac fah kunausyukla oana acn Sodom ac Gomorrah. Elos ac fah ekla oana sie luf in sohl ac musalla nwe tok, ac mah uh ac fah kapak ac kupoiya acn uh. Mwet luk su moulla ac fah utyak ac usla ma lalos nukewa, ac eisla acn selos.”
10 This shall they haue for their pride, because they haue reproched and magnified themselues against the Lord of hostes people.
Pa ingan luman kaiyuk su ac fah orek nu sin mwet Moab ac Ammon ke sripen filang ac inse fulat lalos, ac ke sripen elos angon mwet lun LEUM GOD Kulana.
11 The Lord will be terrible vnto them: for he wil consume all the gods of the earth, and euery man shall worship him from his place, euen all the yles of the heathen.
LEUM GOD El ac fah aklangingingyalos. El ac fah aksrikyela god lun faclu nwe ke na wanginla, na mutunfacl nukewa fah alu nu sel, kais sie in acn sel sifacna.
12 Ye Morians also shalbe slaine by my sword with them.
LEUM GOD El fah oayapa uniya mwet Ethiopia.
13 And he wil stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Asshur, and will make Nineueh desolate, and waste like a wildernesse.
LEUM GOD ac fah orekmakin ku lal in kunausla Assyria. El fah oru tuh siti Nineveh in oana sie mahnum su wanginla mwet muta we, ac in oana sie acn mwesis wangin kof we.
14 And flockes shall lie in the middes of her, and all the beastes of the nations, and the pelicane, and the owle shall abide in the vpper postes of it: the voyce of birdes shall sing in the windowes, and desolations shalbe vpon the postes: for the cedars are vncouered.
Ac fah sie acn in oan lun un sheep ac un cow ac kain in kosro nukewa. Owl fah muta inmasrlon acn musalla ac tung in winto ah me. Wa ac fah kaskas fin acn in utyak uh. Sak cedar ke lohm uh ac fah taktakla.
15 This is the reioycing citie that dwelt carelesse, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none besides me: how is she made waste, and the lodging of the beastes! euery one that passeth by her, shall hisse and wagge his hand.
Pa inge ma ac sikyak nu ke siti se su arulana insefulatkin ku lal sifacna, ac nunku mu wangin ma ac aklokoalokyal. Mwet we nunku mu siti selos pa ku ac fulat oemeet fin faclu. Ac fuka lupan musallaiyen acn sac, ke ac fah ekla sie acn in mongla lun kosro lemnak. Mwet nukewa su fahsryak we ac fah sangeng ac kohloli liki acn we.
