1This is the word of the LORD that came to Zephaniah son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah:
2Diklai maelhmai dong lamkah a cungkuem he tun ka thup ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
2“I will completely sweep away everything from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
3Hlang neh rhamsa khaw ka thup ni. Vaan kah vaa neh tuitunli kah nga khaw, a rhok a rhap neh halang khaw ka thup ni. Hlang he diklai maelhmai dong lamloh ka hnawt ni. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni.
3“I will sweep away man and beast; I will sweep away the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and the idols with their wicked worshipers. I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,” declares the LORD.
4Judah taeng neh Jerusalem kah khosa boeih taengah ka kut ka thueng ni. He hmuen lamloh Baal kah a coih, mueirhol khosoih ming neh, khosoih rhoek te khaw,
4“I will stretch out My hand against Judah and against all who dwell in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the idolatrous and pagan priests—
5Imphu ah vaan caempuei taengla aka bakop rhoek te khaw, BOEIPA taengah a toemngam lalah Milkom taengah aka toemngam tih aka bakop khaw,
5those who bow on the rooftops to worship the host of heaven, those who bow down and swear by the LORD but also swear by Milcom,
6BOEIPA hnuk lamloh aka balkhong rhoek te khaw, BOEIPA te tlap pawt tih amah aka toem pawt te khaw ka khoe ni.
6and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”
7BOEIPA hnin he yoei coeng tih ka Boeipa Yahovah mikhmuh ah he saahlah hoeih. BOEIPA loh hmueih a tawn tih a khue rhoek te a ciim coeng.
7Be silent in the presence of the Lord GOD, for the Day of the LORD is near. Indeed, the LORD has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated His guests.
8BOEIPA kah hmueih hnin a pha pawn ni. Te vaengah mangpa rhoek taeng neh manghai capa rhoek taengah khaw, kholong kah hnicu aka bai boeih taengah khaw ka cawh ni.
8“On the Day of the LORD’s sacrifice I will punish the princes, the sons of the king, and all who are dressed in foreign apparel.
9Te khohnin ah tah thohkong aka poe boeih, a boei im te kuthlahnah neh hlangthai palat aka bae sak khaw ka cawh ni.
9On that day I will punish all who leap over the threshold, who fill the house of their master with violence and deceit.
10He tah BOEIPA kah olphong ni. Te khohnin ah nga vongka lamkah pangngawlnah ol, a hmatoeng lamkah rhungol, som lamkah a len pocinah om ni.
10On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.
11Vakawh sumngol kah khosa rhoek te rhung uh laeh. Hnoyoi pilnam boeih hmata vetih cak phueikung boeih khaw khoe uh ni.
11Wail, O dwellers of the Hollow, for all your merchants will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off.
12A tue te a pha vaengah Jerusalem te hmaithoi neh ka phuelhthaih ni. A sampa a khal dongkah hlang rhoek te ka cawh ni. Te rhoek loh a thinko nen tah, 'BOEIPA a then moenih, thaehuet mahpawh,’ a ti.
12And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish the men settled in complacency, who say to themselves, ‘The LORD will do nothing, either good or bad.’
13A thadueng te maehbuem la, a im te khopong la om ni. Im a sak uh akhaw om nah uh mahpawh. Misurdum a tawn uh akhaw a misurtui te o uh mahpawh.
13Their wealth will be plundered and their houses laid waste. They will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
14BOEIPA kah khohnin yoei coeng, yoei tangkik coeng. BOEIPA hnin kah ol tah bahoeng tok coeng. Hlangrhalh khaw khahing la pahoi kawk coeng.
14The great Day of the LORD is near— near and coming quickly. Listen, the Day of the LORD! Then the cry of the mighty will be bitter.
15Te khohnin tah thinpom khohnin, citcai neh khobing khohnin, khohli rhamrhael neh imrhong khohnin, hmaisuep neh khohmuep khohnin, cingmai neh yinnah khohnin ni.
15That day will be a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
16Khopuei cakrhuet taeng neh a sang bangkil taengkah tuki neh tamlung khohnin ni.
16a day of horn blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers.
17Hlang te ka daengdaeh vetih mikdael bangla pongpa uh ni. BOEIPA taengah a tholh uh dongah amih thii te laipi bangla a hawk ni. A buhcak te Aekkhuel bangla om ni.
17I will bring such distress on mankind that they will walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.
18BOEIPA kah thinpom hnin ah tah a cak long khaw, a sui long khaw amih huul hamla noeng mahpawh. A thatlainah hmai loh diklai pum he a hlawp ni. Diklai khosa boeih te a bawtnah hil tlek a saii ni.
18Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.
