Zephaniah 3 - Listen Online

¹ EGBE ni fun ọlọ̀tẹ ati alaimọ́, fun ilu aninilara nì.

¹ Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

² On kò fetisi ohùn na; on kò gba ẹkọ́; on kò gbẹkẹ̀le Oluwa; on kò sunmọ ọdọ Ọlọrun rẹ̀.

² She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.

³ Awọn olori rẹ̀ ti o wà lãrin rẹ̀ kiniun ti nke ramùramù ni nwọn; awọn onidajọ rẹ̀ ikõkò aṣãlẹ ni nwọn; nwọn kò sán egungun titi di owurọ̀.

³ Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

⁴ Awọn woli rẹ̀ gberaga, nwọn si jẹ ẹlẹtàn enia: awọn alufa rẹ̀ ti ba ibi mimọ́ jẹ: nwọn ti rú ofin.

⁴ Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

⁵ Oluwa li olõtọ lãrin rẹ̀, kì yio ṣe buburu: li orowurọ̀ li o nmu idajọ rẹ̀ wá si imọlẹ, kì itase; ṣugbọn awọn alaiṣõtọ kò mọ itìju.

⁵ The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.

⁶ Mo ti ke awọn orilẹ-ède kuro; ile giga wọn dahoro; mo sọ ita wọnni di ofo, tobẹ̃ ti ẹnikan kò kọja ihà ibẹ̀: a pa ilu wọnni run, tobẹ̃ ti kò si enia kan, ti kò si ẹniti ngbe ibẹ̀.

⁶ I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

⁷ Emi wipe, Lõtọ iwọ o bẹ̀ru mi, iwọ o gba ẹkọ́; bẹ̃ni a kì ba ti ke ibujoko wọn kuro, bi o ti wù ki mo jẹ wọn ni iyà to: ṣugbọn nwọn dide ni kùtukùtu, nwọn ba gbogbo iṣẹ wọn jẹ.

⁷ I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.

⁸ Nitorina ẹ duro dè mi, ni Oluwa wi, titi di ọjọ na ti emi o dide si ohun-ọdẹ: nitori ipinnu mi ni lati kó awọn orilẹ-ède jọ, ki emi ki o le kó awọn ilẹ ọba jọ, lati dà irúnu mi si ori wọn, ani gbogbo ibinu mi gbigbona: nitori a o fi iná owu mi jẹ gbogbo aiye run.

⁸ Therefore wait ye upon 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.

⁹ Nitori nigbana li emi o yi ède mimọ́ si awọn enia, ki gbogbo wọn ki o le ma pè orukọ Oluwa, lati fi ọkàn kan sìn i.

⁹ For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.

¹⁰ Lati oke odò Etiopia awọn ẹlẹbẹ̀ mi, ani ọmọbinrin afunká mi, yio mu ọrẹ mi wá.

¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

¹¹ Li ọjọ na ni iwọ kì yio tijú, nitori gbogbo iṣe rẹ, ninu eyiti iwọ ti dẹṣẹ si mi: nitori nigbana li emi o mu awọn ti nyọ̀ ninu igberaga rẹ kuro lãrin rẹ, iwọ kì yio si gberaga mọ li oke mimọ́ mi.

¹¹ In 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 them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.

¹² Emi o fi awọn otòṣi ati talakà enia silẹ pẹlu lãrin rẹ, nwọn o si gbẹkẹ̀le orukọ Oluwa.

¹² I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.

¹³ Awọn iyokù Israeli kì yio hùwa ibi, bẹ̃ni nwọn kì yio sọ̀rọ eke, bẹ̃ni a kì yio ri ahọn arekerekè li ẹnu wọn: ṣugbọn nwọn o jẹun nwọn o si dubulẹ, ẹnikan kì yio si dẹ̀ruba wọn.

¹³ The 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.

¹⁴ Kọrin, iwọ ọmọbinrin Sioni; kigbe, iwọ Israeli; fi gbogbo ọkàn yọ̀, ki inu rẹ ki o si dùn, iwọ ọmọbinrin Jerusalemu.

¹⁴ Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

¹⁵ Oluwa ti mu idajọ rẹ wọnni kuro, o ti tì ọta rẹ jade: ọba Israeli, ani Oluwa, mbẹ lãrin rẹ: iwọ kì yio si ri ibi mọ.

¹⁵ The 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 see evil any more.

¹⁶ Li ọjọ na a o wi fun Jerusalemu pe, Iwọ má bẹ̀ru: ati fun Sioni pe, Má jẹ ki ọwọ́ rẹ ki o dẹ̀.

¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

¹⁷ Oluwa Ọlọrun rẹ li agbara li ãrin rẹ; yio gbà ni là, yio yọ̀ li ori rẹ fun ayọ̀; yio simi ninu ifẹ rẹ̀, yio fi orin yọ̀ li ori rẹ.

¹⁷ The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

¹⁸ Emi o kó awọn ti o banujẹ fun ajọ mimọ́ jọ awọn ti o jẹ tirẹ, fun awọn ti ẹgàn rẹ̀ jasi ẹrù.

¹⁸ I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

¹⁹ Kiyesi i, nigbana li emi o ṣe awọn ti npọn ọ li oju: emi a gbà atiro là, emi o si ṣà ẹniti a le jade jọ; emi o si sọ wọn di ẹni iyìn ati olokìki ni gbogbo ilẹ ti a ti gàn wọn.

¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

²⁰ Nigbana li emi o mu nyin padà wá, ani li akokò na li emi o ṣà nyin jọ: nitori emi o fi orukọ ati iyìn fun nyin lãrin gbogbo enia agbaiye, nigbati emi o yi igbèkun nyin padà li oju nyin, ni Oluwa wi.

²⁰ At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
