| Ole wake yeye aliyeasi na kutiwa unajisi, mji wa udhalimu! Sefania 3:1 |
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city! |
| Hakuitii sauti; hakukubali kurudiwa; hakumwamini Bwana; hakumkaribia Mungu wake. Sefania 3:2 |
She didn't obey the voice. She didn't receive correction. She didn't trust in Yahweh. She didn't draw near to her God. |
| Wakuu wake walio ndani yake ni simba wangurumao; makadhi wake ni mbwa-mwitu wa jioni; hawasazi kitu cho chote hata siku ya pili. Sefania 3:3 |
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day. |
| Manabii wake ni watu hafifu, wadanganyifu; makuhani wake wamepatia unajisi patakatifu, wameifanyia sheria udhalimu. Sefania 3:4 |
Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law. |
| Bwana kati yake ni mwenye haki; hatatenda uovu; kila asubuhi hudhihirisha hukumu yake, wala hakomi; bali mtu asiye haki hajui kuona haya. Sefania 3:5 |
Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn't fail, but the unjust know no shame. |
| Nimekatilia mbali mataifa, buruji zao zina ukiwa; nimeziharibu njia kuu zao, hata hapana mmoja apitaye; miji yao imeangamizwa; hamna mtu hata mmoja, wala hapana akaaye huko. Sefania 3:6 |
I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant. |
| Nalisema, Hakika utaniogopa, utakubali kurudiwa; ili yasikatiliwe mbali makao yake, sawasawa ya yote niliyoagiza katika habari zake; lakini waliondoka mapema na kuyaharibu matendo yao yote. Sefania 3:7 |
I said, "Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won't be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her." But they rose early and corrupted all their doings. |
| Basi ningojeni, asema Bwana, hata siku ile nitakapoondoka kuteka mateka; maana nimeazimia kuwakusanya mataifa, ili nizikutanishe falme, nipate kuwamwagia ghadhabu yangu; naam, ukali wote wa hasira yangu; kwa maana dunia yote itateketezwa kwa moto wa wivu wangu. Sefania 3:8 |
"Therefore wait for me," says Yahweh, "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 on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy. |
| Maana hapo ndipo nitakapowarudishia mataifa lugha iliyo safi, wapate kuliitia jina la Bwana, wamtumikie kwa nia moja. Sefania 3:9 |

In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain. |
| Lakini nitasaza ndani yako watu walioonewa na maskini, nao watalitumainia jina la Bwana. Sefania 3:12 |

| Mabaki ya Israeli hawatatenda uovu, wala kusema uongo; wala ulimi wa hadaa hautaonekana kinywani mwao; kwa maana watakula na kulala, wala hapana mtu atakayewaogofya. Sefania 3:13 |
The remnant of Israel will not do iniquity, nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid." |

Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth. |
| Wakati huo nitawaingizeni, na wakati huo nitawakusanya; kwa maana nitawafanya ninyi kuwa sifa na jina, miongoni mwa watu wote wa dunia, nitakapowarudisha wafungwa wenu mbele ya macho yenu, asema Bwana. Sefania 3:20 |
At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says Yahweh. |
