< Zephaniah 2 >

1 Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,
Isa soo urursada, quruuntan aan xishoodka lahaynay, isa soo urursada,
2 before the appointed time when the day passes as the chaff, before the fierce anger of Jehovah comes on you, before the day of Jehovah's anger comes on you.
intaan amarku soo bixin, oo aan maalintu u dhaafin sida xaab oo kale, intaan Rabbiga xanaaqiisa kululu idinku soo degin, intaan maalinta cadhada Rabbigu idinku soo degin.
3 Seek Jehovah, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Jehovah's anger.
Rabbiga doondoona, dhammaantiin kuwiinna camalka qabow ee dhulkow, oo xukunkiisa yeelayow, xaqnimo doondoona, oo qabownaan doondoona. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad maalinta cadhada Rabbiga qarsoonaan doontaan.
4 For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.
Waayo, Gaasa waa la dayrin doonaa, oo Ashqeloonna waxay noqon doontaa meel cidla ah, oo dadka Ashdoodna waxaa la eryi doonaa hadh cad, Ceqroonna waa la rujin doonaa.
5 Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites. The word of Jehovah is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.
Waxaa iska hoogay dadka deggan badda xeebteeda, waana quruunta reer Kereetiim! Kancaan oo ah dalka reer Falastiinow, Rabbiga eraygiisu waa kaa gees. Waan ku baabbi'in doonaa si aan qof keliyuhuna kuu sii degganaan.
6 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
Badda xeebteedu waxay noqon doontaa berrimmo daaqsiin ah, oo leh rug adhijirro iyo xeryo adhi.
7 The coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah. They will find pasture. In the houses of Ashkelon, they will lie down in the evening, for Jehovah, their God, will visit them, and restore them.
Oo xeebta waxaa yeelan doona kuwa dadka Yahuudah ka hadhay. Iyana adhyahooda ayay halkaas daaqsan doonaan, oo fiidkiina waxay jiifsan doonaan guryihii reer Ashqeloon, waayo, Ilaaha Rabbigooda ah ayaa iyaga soo booqan doona, oo maxaabiistoodiina wuu soo celin doonaa.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the people of Ammon, with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Anigu waan maqlay caydii reer Moo'aab iyo canaantii reer Cammoon oo ay dadkayga ku caayeen, iyo inay iska sii weyneeyeen soohdintooda.
9 Therefore as I live, says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the people of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartay oo sida xaqiiqada ah Moo'aab waxay noqon doontaa sida Sodom oo kale, oo reer Cammoonna waxay noqon doonaan sida Gomora oo kale, oo waxay ahaan doonaan meel maraboob ka baxo, iyo godad cusbo, iyo meel had iyo goor cidla ah. Kuwa dadkayga ka hadhay ayaa dhici doona oo inta quruuntayda ka hadhay ayaa dhaxli doonta.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Jehovah of hosts.
Kibirkoodii aawadiis ayay waxan u heli doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay caayeen oo iska weynaysiiyeen dadkii Rabbiga ciidammada.
11 Jehovah will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.
Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga u noqon doonaa mid aad looga cabsado, waayo, wuu wada macaluulin doonaa ilaahyada dhulka oo dhan, kolkaasay dadku isaga caabudi doonaan, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu isaga ka caabudi doonaa meeshiisa, oo xataa quruumaha gasiiraduhu way wada caabudi doonaan isaga.
12 You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.
Oo weliba reer Itoobiyow, idinkana waxaa laydinku layn doonaa seeftayda.
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.
Oo isagu gacantiisuu u fidin doonaa xagga woqooyi, oo dalka Ashuur wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo Ninewehna cidla buu ka dhigi doonaa iyo lamadegaan engegan.
14 Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.
Oo waxaa dhexdeeda jiifsan doona xoolo iyo xayawaanka quruumaha oo dhan, oo cantalyaaga iyo caanaqubtuba waxay ku dhex hoyan doonaan tiirarkeeda. Cod baa ka gabyi doona daaqadaheeda, oo waxaa marinnada joogi doona abaar, waayo, isagu wuu soo bandhigay shuqulkii qoriga kedarka ah laga qabtay.
15 This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in. Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
Tanu waa magaaladii faraxa badnayd oo feyigla'aanta ku degganayd, oo qalbiga iska tidhi, Anigaa ah, oo aniga mooyaane mid kale ma jirto. Waxay noqotay cidla iyo meel dugaag ku hoydo! Mid kasta oo agteeda soo maraaba wuu ku foodhyi doonaa oo gacanta quudhsasho la ruxi doonaa.
