< Zephaniah 3 >

1 Wo! thou citee, terrere to wraththe, and bouyt ayen a culuer.
Magaalaa cunqursitootaa, finciltuu fi xurooftuu sanaaf wayyoo!
2 It herde not the vois of the Lord, and resseyuede not techyng, ether chastisyng; it tristenyde not in the Lord, it neiyide not to her God.
Isheen nama tokkoof iyyuu hin ajajamtu; sirreeffama tokko iyyuu hin fudhattu. Isheen Waaqayyoon hin amanattu; Waaqa isheettis hin dhiʼaattu.
3 Princes therof in myddil therof weren as liouns rorynge; iugis therof weren wolues, in the euentid thei leften not in to morewe.
Qondaaltonni ishee leenca aaduu dha; bulchitoonni ishee yeeyyii galgalaa kanneen waan tokko illee ganamaaf hin bulfannee dha.
4 Profetis therof weren woode, vnfeithful men; prestis therof defouliden hooli thing, thei diden vniustli ayens the lawe.
Raajonni ishee of tuultota; isaan namoota hin amanamnee dha. Luboonni ishee iddoo qulqulluu xureessanii seeras cabsu.
5 The Lord iust in the myddil therof, schal not do wickidnesse; erli, erli he schal yyue his dom in liyt, and it schal not be hid; forsothe the wickid puple knew not confusioun.
Waaqayyo inni ishee keessa jiru qajeelaa dha; inni dogoggora tokko illee hin hojjetu. Inni ganama ganama murtii qajeelaa kenna; guyyaa tokko iyyuu waan kana hojjechuu hin dadhabu; jalʼoonni garuu qaanii tokko iyyuu hin beekan.
6 Y loste folkis, and the corneris of hem ben distried; Y made the weies of hem desert, while there is not that schal passe. The citees of hem ben desolat, for a man is not left, nether ony dwellere.
“Ani saboota nan balleessa; daʼannoowwan isaanii diigamaniiru. Akka namni tokko iyyuu achiin hin dabarreef ani daandiiwwan ishee onseera. Magaalaawwan isaanii onanii nama malee, duwwaa hafu.
7 Y seide, Netheles thou schalt drede me, thou schalt resseyue techyng; and the dwellyng place therof schal not perische, for alle thingis in whiche Y visitide it; netheles ful eerli thei risynge han corrupt alle her thouytis.
Ani magaalaa sanaan, ‘Ati dhugumaan na sodaatta; sirreeffamas ni fudhatta!’ nan jedhe. Ergasii iddoon jireenya ishee hin badu yookaan adabbiin koo hundinuu isheetti hin dhufu. Isaan garuu waan hojjetan hunda keessatti daba hojjechuutti ciman.
8 Wherfor abide thou me, seith the Lord, in the dai of my rysyng ayen in to comynge. For my doom is, that Y gadere folkis, and Y schal gadere rewmes; and Y schal schede out on hem myn indignacioun, and al wraththe of my strong veniaunce; for in fier of my feruour al erthe schal be deuourid.
Kanaafuu guyyaa ani itti dhugaa baʼu eeggadhu” jedha Waaqayyo; “Ani sabootaa fi mootummoota walitti qabee dheekkamsa kootii fi aarii koo sodaachisaa sana hunda isaanitti dhangalaasuuf murteesseera. Addunyaan guutuun ibidda hinaaffaa kootiin gubattee barbadoofti.
9 For thanne Y schal yelde to puplis a chosun lippe, that alle clepe inwardli in the name of the Lord, and serue to hym with o schuldre.
“Ergasii ani akka hundi isaanii maqaa Waaqayyoo waammataniif, akka walii galuudhaan isa tajaajilaniifis afaan namootaa nan qulqulleessa.
10 Ouer the floodis of Ethiopie, fro thens my bisecheris, the sones of my scaterid men, schulen brynge yifte to me.
Warri anaaf sagadan, intallan koo kanneen bittinnaaʼan lageen Itoophiyaa gamaa kennaa naaf fidu.
11 In that day thou schalt not be confoundid on alle thi fyndyngis, in whiche thou trespassidist ayens me; for thanne Y schal take awei fro the myddil of thee grete spekeris of thi pride, and thou schalt no more put to, for to be enhaunsid in myn hooli hil.
Sababii ani warra of tuulummaa isaaniitti gammadan magaalaa kana keessaa baasuuf, gaafas yakka ati natti hojjette sana hundaaf salphinni sitti hin dhufu. Ati lammata gaara koo qulqulluu irratti of hin tuultu.
12 And Y schal leeue in the myddil of thee a pore puple and nedi; and thei schulen hope in the name of the Lord.
Ani garuu garraamotaa fi gad of qabeeyyii kanneen maqaa Waaqayyoo amanatan si keessatti nan hambisa.
13 The relifs of Israel schulen not do wickidnesse, nether schulen speke leesyng, and a gileful tunge schal not be foundun in the mouth of hem; for thei schulen be fed, and schulen reste, and ther schal not be that schal make aferd.
Hambaan Israaʼel yakka tokko illee hin hojjetan. Isaan soba hin dubbatan yookaan gowwoomsaan afaan isaanii keessatti hin argamu. Isaan nyaatanii boqotu; kan isaan sodaachisus hin jiru.”
14 These thingis seith the Lord, Douyter of Sion, herie thou hertli, synge thou, Israel; be thou glad, and make thou ioie withoutforth in al thin herte, thou douyter of Jerusalem.
Yaa Intala Xiyoon ati faarfadhu; yaa Israaʼel sagalee ol fudhadhuu iyyi! Yaa Intala Yerusaalem gammadiitii garaa kee guutuudhaan ililchi!
15 The Lord hath take a wei thi dom, hath turned a wey thin enemyes; the kyng of Israel the Lord is in myddil of thee, thou schalt no more drede yuel.
Waaqayyo adaba kee sirraa fuudheera; inni diinota kee sirraa deebiseera. Waaqayyo Mootiin Israaʼel, si wajjin jira; ati lammata balaa tokko illee hin sodaattu.
16 In that dai it schal be seid, Jerusalem, nyle thou drede; Sion, thin hondis be not clumsid.
Isaan gaafas Yerusaalemiin akkana ni jedhu; “Yaa Xiyoon hin sodaatin; harki kees hin laafin.
17 Thi Lord God is strong in the myddil of thee, he schal saue; he schal make ioie on thee in gladnesse, he schal be stille in thi louyng, he schal make ioie withoutforth on thee in heriyng.
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni si wajjin jiru jabaa dha. Inni baayʼee sitti gammada; inni jaalala isaatiin si boqochiisa; faarfannaadhaanis sitti gammada.”
18 Y schal gadere the foolis, ether veyn men, that wenten awei fro the lawe, for thei weren of thee, that thou haue no more schenschipe on hem.
“Ani gadda ati ayyaanota murteeffamaniif gadditu sirraa nan fuudha; isaan booʼichaa fi salphina sitti taʼu.
19 Lo! Y schal sle alle men that turmentiden thee in that tyme, and Y schal saue him that haltith, and Y schal gadere hir that was cast out; and Y schal putte hem in to heriyng, and in to name in ech lond of confusioun of hem, in that tyme in which Y schal brynge you,
Ani yeroo sanatti warra si cunqursan hunda nan adaba; ani okkolaa nan baraara; warra gatamanis walitti nan qaba. Ani biyya isaan itti qaaneffaman hunda keessatti maqaa fi ulfina isaaniifin kennaaf.
20 and in the tyme in which Y schal gadre you. For Y schal yyue you in to name, and in to heriyng to alle puplis of erthe, whanne Y schal conuerte youre caitifte bifore youre iyen, seith the Lord.
Ani yeroo sanatti walittin isin qaba; yeroo sanatti ani biyya keessanitti isin nan galcha. Ani yeroo utuma isin argitanuu boojuu keessan deebisutti saba lafaa hunda gidduutti ulfinaa fi maqaa isiniifin kenna” jedha Waaqayyo.
