Zephaniah 3
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
1Acn Jerusalem ac musalla, sie siti olafohkfok ac tunyuna, su akkeokye mwet lal sifacna.
2She hearkened not to the voice, she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD, she drew not near to her God.
2El tuh tia porongo LEUM GOD , ku insewowo in eis kas in kaiyuk lal. El tia filiya lulalfongi lal in LEUM GOD , ku suk kasru sel.
3Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the desert, they leave not a bone for the morrow.
3Mwet leum lun acn we elos oana lion ngutngut; mwet nununku we oana kosro wolf masrinsral su arulana rapku ac tia lela soko sri in oan nu ke lotu tok uh.
4Her prophets are wanton and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned that which is holy, they have done violence to the law.
4Mwet palu elos tiana oru ma kunalos ac elos kutasrik; mwet tol elos akfohkfokyela ma mutal ac ikil ma sap lun God in wo nu selos sifacna.
5The LORD who is righteous is in the midst of her, He will not do unrighteousness; every morning doth He bring His right to light, it faileth not; but the unrighteous knoweth no shame.
5Tusruktu LEUM GOD El srakna oasr in siti uh; El oru ma suwohs ac tia ku in oru ma sufal. Lotutang nukewa El tia tui in oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet lal. A ne ouinge, mwet sesuwos we srakna oru na ma koluk ac tia mwekin.
6I have cut off nations, their corners are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
6LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga sukela mutunfacl puspis. Nga kunausla siti selos ac filiya pot ac tower ke siti inge in musalla na oan. Siti uh wanginla mwet we, inkanek uh oalalla — wangin mwet lula.
7I said: 'Surely thou wilt fear Me, thou wilt receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, despite all that I have visited upon her'; but they betimes corrupted all their doings.
7Nga tuh nunku mu ma inge ac tuh oru mwet luk in asmakla ac akfulatye kaiyuk luk, ac tia mulkunla mwe luti luk nu selos. A tia paht na elos sifil oru koluk oana meet ah.
8Therefore wait ye for Me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for My determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them Mine indignation, even all My fierce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.
8Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Soano na. Tupan len se nga ac tuyak ac orek loh lain mutunfacl uh. Nga wulela tari tuh nga fah orani mutunfacl ac tokosrai, ac oru elos in pula ku lun kasrkusrak luk. Faclu nufon ac fah kunausyukla ke kasrkusrak luk, su oana sie firir in e.
9For then will I turn to the peoples a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent.
9“Na nga fah ekulla ouiyen kaskas lun mwet in mutunfacl nukewa, ac elos fah pre nu sik mukena, ac tia nu sin kutena god saya. Elos nukewa fah akosyu.
10From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia shall they bring My suppliants, even the daughter of My dispersed, as Mine offering.
10Finne acn Ethiopia su oan loeslana, mwet luk su fahsrelik elos ac fah use mwe kisa nu sik we me.
11In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against Me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in My holy mountain.
11In pacl sac, kowos mwet luk fah tia sifilpa enenu in mwekin lah kowos tuh tuyak lainyu. Nga fah lusla mwet nukewa su filang ac inse fulat, ac kowos fah tia sifilpa tunyuna lainyu fin eol mutal sik.
12And I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of the LORD.
12Nga fah oakiya sie mutunfacl pusisel ac efal in acn we, su fah tuku ac sukok kasru sik.
13The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
13Mwet Israel su lula ac fah tia oru kutena ouiya koluk nu sin kutena mwet, ku fahk kas kikiap, ku srike in aklalfonye mwet. Elos fah kapkapak ac muta in misla, ac tia sangeng sin kutena mwet.”
14Sing, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
14On ac sasa ke engan, kowos mwet Israel! Jerusalem, engan ke insiom nufon!
15The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, He hath cast out thine enemy; The King of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more.
15LEUM GOD El tulokinya kaiyuk lal nu sum. El lusak mwet lokoalok lom nukewa. LEUM GOD , su tokosra lun Israel, El wi kom. Inge kowos tia enenu in sifilpa sangeng.
16In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: 'Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack.
16Pacl se apkuran me ke elos fah fahk nu sin Jerusalem, “Nikmet sangeng, siti Zion! Nikmet lela poum in munasla!
17The LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a Mighty One who will save; He will rejoice over thee with joy, He will be silent in His love, He will joy over thee with singing.'
17LEUM GOD lom El wi kom; Ku lal ac fah sot kutangla nu sum. LEUM GOD El fah enganak keim, Ac ke lungse yohk lal El fah sot nu sum sie moul sasu. El fah on ac arulana engan keim,
18I will gather them that are far from the appointed season, who are of thee, that hast borne the burden of reproach.
18Aok, oana engan lun mwet uh ke pacl in kufwa.” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga aksafyela tari mwe aksangeng lun ongoiya Ac eisla mwe mwekin lom.
19Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save her that is lame, and gather her that was driven away; and I will make them to be a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth.
19Pacl se apkuranme! Nga fah akkeokye mwet ma akkolukye kom; Nga fah molela mwet ul nukewa Ac folokonma mwet sruoh nu yen selos. Nga fah ekulla mwekin lalos nu ke akfulat, Ac faclu nufon fah kaksakunulos.
20At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you to be a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I turn your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
20Pacl se apkuranme! Nga fah oru tuh mwet lom nukewa su fahsrelik in folokeni nu yen selos. Nga fah oru kom in pwengpeng fin faclu nufon Ac sifilpa akkasrupye kom.” LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge.
