Sefanyaah 1
1 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo u yimid Sefanyaah ina Kuushii, ina Gedalyaah, ina Amaryaah, ina Xisqiyaah, wakhtigii Yoosiyaah ina Aamoon uu boqorka ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.
2 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu wax kasta waan ka baabbi'in doonaa dhulka korkiisa.
I will utterly consume all things from the face of the land, saith Jehovah;
3 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dad iyo duunyoba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, haadda samada iyo kalluunka baddaba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo waxa lagu turunturoodo iyo sharrowyadaba waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo binu-aadmigana waan ka gooyn doonaa dhulka korkiisa.
I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of heaven, and the fishes of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks with the wicked; And I will cut off man from the face of the land, saith Jehovah.
4 Oo gacantaydaan ku soo kor fidin doonaa dalka Yahuudah iyo inta Yeruusaalem deggan oo dhan, oo intii Bacal ka hadhayna meeshan waan ka gooyn doonaa, iyo magaca Kemaariim iyo wadaaddada,
I will stretch out my hand over Judah, And over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And I will cut off from this place the residue of Baal, The name of the idol-sacrificers with the priests,
5 iyo kuwa ciidanka samada ku caabuda guryaha dhaladooda, iyo kuwa Rabbiga caabuda oo ku dhaarta oo haddana ku dhaarta Malkaam,
And those who bow themselves on the house-tops to the host of heaven, And those who bow themselves and swear by Jehovah, And also swear by their idol,
6 iyo kuwa dib uga noqday Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, iyo kuwa aan Rabbiga doondoonin ama aan isaga innaba wax ka baryin.
And those that turn back from Jehovah, And those that seek not Jehovah, nor inquire for him.
7 Sayidka Rabbiga ah hortiisa ku aamus, maxaa yeelay, maalintii Rabbigu waa soo dhow dahay, waayo, Rabbigu waa diyaariyey allabari, oo martidiisiina quduus buu ka dhigay.
Be silent before the Lord Jehovah! For the day of Jehovah is near; For Jehovah hath prepared a sacrifice; He hath appointed his guests.
8 Oo maalinta Rabbiga allabarigiisa ayaan ciqaabi doonaa amiirrada iyo wiilasha boqorka, iyo inta dharka qalaad xidhan oo dhanba.
And in the day of the sacrifice of Jehovah it shall come to pass That I will punish the princes and the sons of the king, And all that are clothed with foreign apparel.
9 Maalintaas waxaan wada ciqaabi doonaa kuwa marinka ka booda, oo guriga sayidkooda ka buuxiya dulmi iyo khiyaano.
In that day also will I punish all that leap over the threshold, That fill the houses of their master with violence and deceit.
10 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Isla maalintaas qaylo dhawaaqeed ayaa ka yeedhi doona Iridda Kalluunka, oo magaalada inteeda labaadna waxaa ka yeedhi doonta baroor, kurahana waxaa ka yeedhi doona daryaan weyn.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah, That there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from the other part of the city, And of great destruction from the hills.
11 Kuwiinna Makteesh degganow, qayliya, waayo, dadkii reer Kancaan oo dhammu waa dhammaaday, oo kuwii lacagta ku rarnaa oo dhammu waa baabba'.
Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh! For all the trafficking people are cut down; All they that bear silver are destroyed.
12 Oo wakhtigaas ayaan Yeruusaalem laambado ku baadhi doonaa, waanan ciqaabi doonaa dadka gufarkooda isaga fadhiyey sida khamri deggan oo kale, oo qalbigooda iska yidhaahda, Rabbigu wax wanaagsan samayn maayo, wax shar ahna samayn maayo.
And it shall come to pass at that time, That I will search Jerusalem with lamps, And I will punish the men that are settled on their lees; That say in their hearts, “Jehovah doeth neither good nor evil.”
13 Maalkoodu wuxuu noqon doonaa wax la boobo, guryahooduna waxay noqon doonaan meel baabba' ah, haah, oo waxay dhisan doonaan guryo, laakiinse ma ay degi doonaan, oo waxay beeran doonaan beero canab ah, laakiinse khamrigooda ma ay cabbi doonaan.
Their substance shall become a spoil, And their houses a desolation; They shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; And shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
14 Maalintii weynayd oo Rabbigu way soo dhow dahay, way soo dhow dahay, oo aad bay u soo degdegaysaa. Dhawaaqi maalinta Rabbigu mar dhow buu yeedhi doonaa, dadka xoogga badanuna halkaasay si qadhaadh ah uga qaylin doonaan.
The day of Jehovah is near, the great day; It is near, and hasteth greatly; The day of Jehovah shall resound; Bitterly shall the mighty man cry for help.
15 Maalintaasu waa maalin ay cadho jirto, oo waa maalin ay jiraan dhibaato iyo cidhiidhi, oo waa maalin ay jiraan dumin iyo baabbi'in, oo waa maalin ay jiraan gudcur iyo mugdi madow, oo waa maalin ay jiraan daruuro iyo gudcur dam ah,
That day is a day of wrath, A day of distress and anguish, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 oo waa maalin ay jiraan buun iyo qaylo dagaaleed oo ka gees ah magaalooyinka deyrka leh, iyo munaaradaha dhaadheer.
A day of the trumpet and the war-shout, Against the fenced cities, And against the high towers.
17 Dadka waxaan ku soo dejin doonaa cidhiidhi inay u socdaan sidii dad indha la', maxaa yeelay, Rabbigay ku dembaabeen, oo dhiiggoodu wuxuu u daadan doonaa sida boodh oo kale, hilibkooduna sida digo oo kale.
And I will distress the men, so that they shall walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against Jehovah. And their blood shall be poured out as dust, And their flesh as dung.
18 Oo maalinta cadhada Rabbiga lacagtooda iyo dahabkooda midna kama samatabbixin doono iyaga, laakiinse dalka oo dhan waxaa baabbi'in doona dabka qiiradiisa, oo dhulka waxa deggan oo dhanna haddiiba dhaqsiyuu u wada dhammayn doonaa.
Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah, But by the fire of his indignation shall the whole land be devoured; For destruction, and that a speedy one, will he bring Upon all that dwell in the land.
