Sofonias 3
1 Asi pay ti managsukir a siudad! Natulawanen ti naranggas a siudad!
What disaster is coming to corrupted, rebellious Jerusalem, you who oppress people!
2 Saan daytoy a dimngeg iti timek ti Dios, wenno saan nga immawat iti pannursuro manipud kenni Yahweh! Saan isuna nga agtalek kenni Yahweh ken saan nga umasideg iti Diosna.
You don't listen to anybody, you don't accept correction, you don't trust in the Lord, you don't ask for God's help.
3 Dagiti prinsipena ket kasla ngumerngernger a leon iti nagtengngaanna! Dagiti ukomna ket kasla kadagiti lobo iti rabii a saan a mangitedda iti kanenda iti agsapa!
Your leaders are as greedy as roaring lions; your judges are ravenous wolves that leave nothing behind by morning.
4 Dagiti profetana ket nadursok ken manangliput a lallaki! Rinugitan dagiti padina ti nasantoan ken nagaramid iti panaglabsing iti linteg!
Your prophets are arrogant, deceitful men who defile what is sacred and who openly break the law.
5 Nalinteg ni Yahweh iti nagtengngaanna! Dinto agaramid iti biddut! Iti tunggal bigat, ipaayna ti husticia! Saanto nga mailemmeng iti lawag, ngem ti managdakdakes ket dina ammo ti agbain!
But the Lord who does right is still among you, he does no wrong. Every morning he gives his judgment, every day without fail. But those who act unjustly have no shame.
6 “Dinadaelko dagiti nasion; nadadael dagiti sarikedkedda. Dinadaelko dagiti kalsadada tapno awan a pulos iti makalabas kadagitoy. Nadadael dagiti siudadda ket awan ti tao a makapagnaed kadagitoy.
I have destroyed nations. Their fortresses are deserted; their streets are empty; their cities are destroyed—there are no survivors, not one.
7 Kinunak, ‘Sigurado nga agbutengkanto kaniak! Umawatka iti pannakaisuro ket saanka a mapapanaw kadagiti pagtaengam iti amin a pinanggepko nga aramiden kenka!' Ngem aggagarda a mangirugi iti tunggal agsapa babaen iti panangpadakesda kadagiti amin nga aramidda.
I told myself, “Surely they will respect me now and accept my correction. Then their homes would not be destroyed to teach them a lesson.” But instead you're just as eager to go on doing evil.
8 Ngarud, urayendak”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh— “agingga iti aldaw a tumakderak nga agsamsam! Ta ti pangngedengko ket urnongek dagiti nasion, ummongek dagiti pagarian, ken tapno idissuorko kadakuada ti ungetko, ti narungsot a pungtotko, tapno maikisap amin ti daga babaen iti apuy ti ungetko.
You just wait, declares the Lord. The day is coming when I will rise to give evidence. For I have decided to gather together all the nations and kingdoms and to pour out on them my anger, my fury and my rage. The whole earth will be burned up by the fire of my jealous anger.
9 Ngem urayno kasta, ikkakto iti nadalus a pagsasao dagiti tattao, tapno umawagda amin iti nagan ni Yahweh, tapno agserbida kaniak nga addaan iti panagkaykaysa.
For then I will give the nations pure speech so they can all pray and worship the Lord together.
10 Manipud iti labes ti karayan ti Etiopia a mangidaydayaw kaniak—dagiti naiwara-wara a tattaok—mangyegto kadagiti daton a para kaniak.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my scattered people, my worshipers, will come to bring their offerings to me.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, saankayonto a maibabain gapu kadagiti amin nga aramidyo a maibusor kaniak, agsipud ta iti dayta a tiempo, ikkatekto kadakayo dagiti nangramrambak iti kinatangsityo, ken gapu ta saankayontno nga agtignay a sipapalangguad iti tapaw ti nasantoan a bantayko.
On that day you won't be ashamed because of what you did in rebelling against me, for I will remove from among you those who are proud and boastful. Never again will you be conceited on my holy mountain.
12 Ngem ibatikayo a kas nanumo ken napanglaw a tattao, ket agkamangkayonto iti nagan ni Yahweh.
I will leave among you those who are meek and humble, those who trust in the name of the Lord.
13 Saanton nga aglabsing wenno agulbod dagiti nabatbati iti Israel, ken awan ti manangallilaw a dila iti masarakanto kadagiti ngiwatda; isu nga agarab ken agiddada, ken awanto iti pagbutbutnganda.”
The people of Israel who remain will not act wickedly nor will they tell lies. They will not deceive one another. They will be able to eat in peace and sleep in safety for there will be nothing to frighten them.
14 Agkantaka, O anak a babbai ti Sion! Agdir-ika, O Israel! Agrag-o ken agragsakka iti amin a pusom, O anak a babai ti Jerusalem!
Sing out, Jerusalem! Shout aloud, Israel! Jerusalem, be happy and celebrate with all your heart!
15 Inikkaten ni Yahweh ti dusam; pinapanawnan dagiti kabusormo! Ni Yahweh ti ari ti Israel nga adda kadagiti nagtengngaanyo. Saanmonto manen a kabuteng ti dakes!
For the Lord has turned aside from punishing you, and he has turned back your enemies. The Lord, the king of Israel, is with you, and you will never again have to fear disaster.
16 Iti dayta nga aldaw, kunaendanto iti Jerusalem, “Saanka nga agbuteng, O Sion. Saanmo nga itulok a kumapuy dagiti imam.
On that day the message to the people of Jerusalem will be, “Don't be afraid; don't be discouraged!”
17 Ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket adda kadakayo, ti mannakabalin a mangisalakan kadakayo. Agrambakto isuna gapu kadakayo ken paginanaennakayonto iti ayatna nga addaan rag-o; Maragsakanto isuna kadakayo ket agpukkawto isuna iti rag-o.
The Lord your God is among you as a mighty warrior who saves. He will be so happy with you. He will renew his love for you. He will celebrate over you with loud singing.
18 Dagiti nagladingit gapu iti naituding a fiesta—inummongko ida manipud kadakayo, nagbalinda a dadagsen ken nakaigapuan ti pannakaibabainyo.
I will gather those of you who mourn for the religious festivals—you will no longer have to bear the disgrace.
19 Adtoy, iti dayta a tiempo, dusaekto dagiti amin a nangparparigat kadakayo. Ispalekto dagiti pilay ken ummongekto dagiti napatalaw. Ikkatekto ti nakaibabainanda ket pagbalinekto ida a nadayaw ken natan-ok iti entero a daga.
Look at what I am going to do! At that time I am going to deal with all those who have oppressed you. I will save those who are helpless and bring back those who were scattered, and I will turn their shame into praise, and all the world will respect them.
20 Iti dayta a tiempo, idauloan ken pagmaymaysaenkayonto. Raemen ken idayawdakayonto dagiti amin a nasion iti daga, inton makitayo nga insublik ti kinarang-ayyo,” kuna ni Yahweh.
At that time I will bring you home, gathering you together. I will give you a good reputation, and you will be praised by all the peoples of the earth when I restore your status before your very eyes, says the Lord.
