Zephaniah 1

The word of the LORD which came 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.

Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Tepania tama a Kuhi, tama a Keraria, tama a Amaria, tama a Hetekia, i nga ra o Hohia tama a Amono, kingi o Hura.

I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.

Ka poto rawa i ahau nga mea katoa i runga i te mata o te oneone, e ai ta Ihowa.

I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.

Ka poto i ahau te tangata, te kararehe; ka poto i ahau te manu o te rangi, me te ika o te moana, nga tutukitanga waewae ngatahi ano ko te hunga kino; ka hatepea atu ano e ahau te tangata i runga i te mata o te oneone, e ai ta Ihowa.

I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

Ka totoro ano toku ringa ki runga ki a Hura, ki nga tangata katoa ano o Hiruharama; ka hatepea atu e ahau i tenei wahi nga toenga o Paara, me te ingoa o nga Kemarimi, ratou ko nga tohunga;

And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;

Me te hunga e koropiko ana i runga i nga tuanui ki te ope o te rangi; ratou ko te hunga e koropiko ana, e oati ana i a Ihowa, me te oati ano ratou i a Marakama;

And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

Me te hunga i tahuri atu nei i te whai i a Ihowa, me te hunga kihai nei i ui ki a Ihowa, kihai ano i rapu i a ia.

Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

Whakarongoa i te aroaro o te Ariki, o Ihowa, ka tata hoki te ra o Ihowa, kua takoto hoki ta Ihowa patunga tapu, kua whakatapua hoki e ia ana manuhiri.

And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

Na i te ra o ta Ihowa patunga tapu, ka whiua e ahau nga rangatira, ratou ko nga tama a te kingi, ko te hunga katoa ano he kakahu ke o ratou.

In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

A taua ra ka whiua e ahau te hunga katoa e tupekepeke ana i runga i te paepae, e whakaki ana i nga whare o o ratou ariki ki te nanakia, ki te tinihanga.

And 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 an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

A taua ra, e ai ta Ihowa, ka karanga te reo i te kuwaha ika, he aue hoki i te wahi tuarua, a he nui te pakaru i nga pukepuke.

Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.

Aue, e nga tangata o Makateha, kua moti hoki nga tangata katoa o Kanaana, kua hatepea atu nga kaimau hiriwa katoa.

And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

I taua ra ka rapua e ahau ta Hiruharama, mea rawa ki te rama; ka whiua ano nga tangata kua totoka i runga i o ratou nganga, a e mea ana i roto i o ratou ngakau, E kore a Ihowa e mahi i te pai, e kore ano e mahi i te kino.

Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

Na hei mea parau o ratou rawa; o ratou whare hei ururua: ae ra, ka hanga whare ratou; a e kore e nohoia e ratou, ka whakato i te mara waina, otiia e kore e inu i te waina.

The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

Ka tata te ra nui o Ihowa, ka tata, nui atu te hohoro, ara te reo o te ra o Ihowa: nui noa atu te tangi o te marohirohi i reira.

That 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,

He ra riri taua ra, he ra mamae, he pawera, he ra whakangaro, whakamoti, he ra pouri, he mangu, he ra kapua, he pouri kerekere;

A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

Ko te ra ia o te tetere, o te whakaoho mo nga pa taiepa, mo nga taumaihi tiketike.

And 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.

Ka mamae ano i ahau nga ngakau o nga tangata, ka rite ratou ki te matapo ina haere, mo ratou i hara ki a Ihowa: ka ringihia o ratou toto ano he puehu, o ratou kikokiko ano he paru.

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

E kore ano ta ratou hiriwa, ta ratou koura, e tau hei whakaora i a ratou i te ra o to Ihowa riri; engari ka pau te whenua katoa i te ahi, ara i tona hae; ka ohorere hoki, ka poto i a ia nga tangata katoa o te whenua.
