1 ¶ The word of the LORD which went unto 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.

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. Ka-digiddii Baabbi'inta Soo Socota

2 I will utterly destroy all things from off the face of the earth, saith the LORD.

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu wax kasta waan ka baabbi'in doonaa dhulka korkiisa.

3 I will destroy the men and the beasts; I will destroy the fowls of the heaven and the fishes of the sea, and the wicked shall stumble; and I will cut off men from upon the face of the earth, saith the LORD.

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. Digniin Ka Gees Ah Yahuudah

4 A nd I will extend my hand over Judah and over all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place and the name of their religious persons with their priests

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,

5 a nd those that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops and those that worship swearing by the LORD and by their king

iyo kuwa ciidanka samada ku caabuda guryaha dhaladooda, iyo kuwa Rabbiga caabuda oo ku dhaarta oo haddana ku dhaarta Malkaam,

6 a nd those that have turned back from following the LORD and those that did not seek the LORD, nor enquired about him.

iyo kuwa dib uga noqday Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, iyo kuwa aan Rabbiga doondoonin ama aan isaga innaba wax ka baryin.

7 ¶ Be silent before the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD has prepared a sacrifice, he has bid his guests.

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.

8 A nd it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’s sacrifice that I will make a visitation upon the princes and upon the king’s sons and upon all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

Oo maalinta Rabbiga allabarigiisa ayaan ciqaabi doonaa amiirrada iyo wiilasha boqorka, iyo inta dharka qalaad xidhan oo dhanba.

9 I n the same day I will also make a visitation upon all those that leap over the door, who fill their masters’ houses with robbery and deceit.

Maalintaas waxaan wada ciqaabi doonaa kuwa marinka ka booda, oo guriga sayidkooda ka buuxiya dulmi iyo khiyaano.

10 A nd it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate and a howling from the school and a great destruction from the hills.

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.

11 H owl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all those that brought ye silver are cut off.

Kuwiinna Makteesh degganow, qayliya, waayo, dadkii reer Kancaan oo dhammu waa dhammaaday, oo kuwii lacagta ku rarnaa oo dhammu waa baabba'.

12 A nd it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps and make a visitation upon the men that are settled on their lees, that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

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.

13 T herefore their goods shall become a spoil, and their houses a desolation: they shall build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

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. Maalintii Weynayd Ee Rabbiga

14 ¶ The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hastens greatly, the bitter voice of the day of the LORD; the mighty man shall cry there.

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.

15 T hat day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

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,

16 A day of the shofar and alarm upon the strong cities, and upon the high towers.

oo waa maalin ay jiraan buun iyo qaylo dagaaleed oo ka gees ah magaalooyinka deyrka leh, iyo munaaradaha dhaadheer.

17 A nd I will bring distress upon men that they shall walk like blind men because they have sinned against the LORD, and their blood shall be poured out as dust and their flesh as the dung.

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.

18 N either their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’s wrath, but the whole earth shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all those that dwell in the earth.

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.
