Zephaniah 3 (KBQ)

1Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota kva hiho, na'ankure ana kumapima nemaniza vahe'mota keontahi havi avu'ava huta vahera zamazeri haviza nehuta, kumara eri pehena hu'naze.Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!

2Jerusalemi kumapi vahe'mo'za kea runetagre'za, zamavumro'ma anteankea antahi'za novaririze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzana zamagri Anumzantera zamentintia nosu'za, Agritera erava'oa nosaze.She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.

3Jerusalemi kumate kva vahe'mo'za, laionimo ran krafa huno vano nehiankna nehazage'za, keagama refko'ma nehaza kva vahe'mo'za, kinagafima vanoma nehaza afi kramo'za kenage zagagafa ahe'za nevaga retazageno masa nehiankna nehaze.Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.

4Jerusalemi kumapima nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za zamavufaga ra nehu'za, tusi hazenke vahe mani'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasegea runetagare'za, Ra Anumzamofo Mono nona eri pehena hu'naze.Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.

5Hianagi Ra Anumzamo'a Jerusalemi ran kumapina ko'ma nemanire mani'neankino, Agra mago havizana nosie. Knane knanena Agra fatgo huno vahera refko hunezamante'neanagi, vahe'mo'za Agrira keamara nosaze. Hianagi kefo avu'ava zama nehaza vahe'mokizmia zamagaze zana nomane.The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.

6Nagra rama'a kumatamimpi vahera zamahe vagarogeno, mani'nezama kuma'ma kegavama nehaza zaza nozmimo'a haviza huno me'ne. Kuma zamifima vanoma nehaza ne'onse kantamina eri haviza huge'za vahera vano osazageno, ranra kumazmimo'a haviza huno megeno, anampina magore huno vahera omanitfaza hu'ne.“I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.

7Nagrama antahuana tamagerfa hu'za Nagri agoraga nemani'za, Nagrama zamavumro'ma antoanke'ma antahisage'na kumazmia eri haviza osugahue hu'na antahi'noe. Hianagi zamagra maka'zama hazafina, kazigazi hu'za havi avu'ava zana hu'za vu'naze.I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me and accept correction.’ Then her dwelling place would not be cut off despite all for which I punished her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.

8E'ina hu'negu akoheta Nagri navega anteta maniho huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne. Na'ankure Nagrama oti'na keagama huzmante'sanua knazupa, ko antahintahi retro hu'noanki'na kokankokama nemaniza vahe'ene kinimo'ma kegavama hu'nea mopafima nemaniza vahera zamazeri atru hute'na, narimpa ahe'zana zamagrite eri akaha hu atregahue. Nagrama kanivema rezamantesanua narimpa ahe'zamo'a, teve nefakna huno maka ama mopa teno eri fanane hugahie.Therefore wait for Me,” declares the LORD, “until the day I rise to testify. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them My indignation—all My burning anger. For all the earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy.

9Ana zupa maka kokankoka vahera zamagerura eri agru hanuge'za, ana maka vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa hu'za Ra Anumzamo'na Nagia ahentesga hu'za monora hunante'gahaze.For then I will restore pure lips to the peoples, that all may call upon the name of the LORD and serve Him shoulder to shoulder.

10Nagri'ma mono'ma hunenantaza vahe'nima zamahe panani'ma hazage'za Itiopia mopafima mane'nea timofo kantu kazigama umani'naza vahe'mo'za, Nagritega ofa eri'za egahaze.From beyond the rivers of Cush My worshipers, My scattered people, will bring Me an offering.

11Nagri kema nontahita veganokano'ma hu'naza zankura, e'i ana zupa tamagazegura osugahaze. Na'ankure ru'enena tamagra Nagrira hara reonantegahaze. Tamagri amu'nompintira zamavufaga rama nehu'za kema nontahiza vahera zamazeri atregahue. Ana hanugeno ruotage'ma hu'nea agona'nifina zamavufaga rama nehaza vahera omanigahaze.On that day you will not be put to shame for any of the deeds by which you have transgressed against Me. For then I will remove from among you those who rejoice in their pride, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain.

12Hianagi akohe'zama nemani'za, zamavufagama anteramiza nemaniza vaheke zamatrenuge'za manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra Ra Anumzamofo agifi frakiza nemaniza vahe mani'naze.But I will leave within you a meek and humble people, and they will trust in the name of the LORD.

13Israeli naga'ma osi'ama manisaza vahe'mo'za mago hazenkea nosu'za, mago havigea nosu'za, magore hu'za havigea huza vahera rezamataga osugahaze. Ana nehu'za zamagra ne'zana nezamu nehu'za, mani fru hu'za nemani'nageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamazeri korora osugahie.The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or speak lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. But they will feed and lie down, with no one to make them tremble.”

14Hagi Saioni mofamoka zagamera nehuge'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za rankea hu'za kezati'za zagamera hiho. Jerusalemi mofa'moka maka kagu'areti hunka musenkasea nehugeno, karimpamo'a so'e hino.Sing for joy, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!

15Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma keaga huneramante'no tamazeri haviza hugahuema huno hu'nea zana eri netreno, tamagri ha' vahe'mokizmi sondia vahera zamaretufege'za vu'naze. Ana hu'neankino Ra Anumzana Agra'a Israeli vahe'mota Kinimo tamagri amu'nompina manigahie. Ana hanigeta hazenke'zama e'zankura korora osugahaze.The LORD has taken away your punishment; He has turned back your enemy. Israel’s King, the LORD, is among you; no longer will you fear any harm.

16Ana kna zupa Jerusalemi kumakura hu'za, Saioni agonamoka korora nehunka atregeno kazamo'a arage oramino hu'za hugahaze.On that day they will say to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands fall limp.

17Na'ankure Ra Anumzana kagri Anumzamo kagri amu'nompina mani'ne. Agra hankavenentake harafa ne' mani'ne. Agra kagrikura tusi muse hugahiankino, avesi zama'areti koroma nehana zana maka eri amne hugahie. Kagrikura ranke huno zagamera nehuno, Agra musenkasea hugahie.The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”

18Ra Anumzamo'a huno, musenkasema nehaza knare'ma musema osu'naza zanku'ma tamasunku'ma nehaza vahera zamavare atru hugahue. Ana hanuge'za mago'enena tamazeri tamagazea hanageta tamagazegura osugahaze.“I will gather those among you who grieve over the appointed feasts, so that you will no longer suffer reproach.

19Tamagri'ma knazama tamiza tamazeri havizama hu'naza vahera, ana knazupa hazenke zamigahue. Hanki zamagama havizama hu'nea vahera zamagu'nevazi'na, vahe'mo'zama zamahe'za zamarotago'ma hazage'zama fre'naza vahera ete magopi zamavare tru hugahue. Ru kumategama vuta kinama ome hutama mani'nage'za, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za kiza zokago ke huneramante'za huhaviza huramante'naze. Hianagi menina ete zamagu'a eri rukrahe hanuge'za, tamagrira husga huramantegahaze.Behold, at that time, I will deal with all who afflict you. I will save the lame and gather the scattered; and I will appoint praise and fame for the disgraced throughout the earth.

20Ana kna zupa tamagrira magopi tamavre tru hute'na, tamavre'na nonkuma tamire ete egahue. Ama mopafima mani'naza vahe amu'nompintira, tamagrira knare tamagi tamisuge'za tamagesga hugahaze. Tamagra'a tamavufinti negesage'na tamazeri so'e hugahue. Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na ama nanekea hue!At that time I will bring you in; yes, at that time I will gather you. For I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your captives before your very eyes,” says the LORD.
