LanguageZephaniah Chapter 2, Verse 9
CebuanoBusa ingon nga ako buhi, nagaingon si Jehova sa mga panon, ang Dios sa Israel: Sa pagkamatuod ang Moab maingon sa Sodoma, ug ang mga anak sa Ammon maingon sa Gomorra, usa ka katigayonan sa mga kadyapa ug sa mga gahong sa asin ug sa walay-katapusan nga pagkabiniyaan; ang mahabilin sa akong katawohan mangahimong tukbonon nila, ug ang salin sa akong nasud magapanunod kanila.
Croatian"Zato, života mi moga!" - rijeè je Jahve nad Vojskama, Boga Izraelova: "Moab æe postati kao Sodoma i sinovi Amonovi kao Gomora: polje obraslo koprivom, hrpa soli pustoš dovijeka. Ostatak moga naroda oplijenit æe ih, preostatak moga naroda zaposjest æe ih."
DanishDerfor, så sandt jeg lever, lyder det fra Hærskarers HERRE, Israels Gud: Moab skal blive som Sodoma, Ammoniterne som Gomorra, Jord for Nælder, et Salthul, Ørken til evig Tid. Resten af mit Folk skal plyndre dem; hvad der levnes af mit Folk skal eje dem.
DutchDaarom, zo waarachtig als Ik leef, spreekt de HEERE der heirscharen, de God Israels: Moab zal zekerlijk zijn als Sodom, en de kinderen Ammons als Gomorra, een netelheide, en een zoutgroeve, en een verwoesting tot in eeuwigheid! De overigen Mijns volks zullen ze beroven, en het overige Mijns volks zal ze erfelijk bezitten.
FinnishSentähden, niin totta kuin minä elän, sanoo Herra Sebaot, Israelin Jumala, on Mooab tuleva Sodoman kaltaiseksi ja ammonilaiset Gomorran kaltaisiksi, nokkospehkojen maaksi, suolakuopaksi, autioksi iankaikkisesti. Jääneet minun kansastani ryöstävät heitä, ja minun kansakuntani jäännökset ottavat heidät perintöosaksensa.
FrenchC`est pourquoi, je suis vivant! dit l`Éternel des armées, le Dieu d`Israël, Moab sera comme Sodome, et les enfants d`Ammon comme Gomorrhe, Un lieu couvert de ronces, une mine de sel, un désert pour toujours; Le reste de mon peuple les pillera, Le reste de ma nation les possédera.
GermanWohlan, so wahr ich lebe! spricht der HERR Zebaoth, der Gott Israels, Moab soll wie Sodom und die Kinder Ammon wie Gomorra werden, ja wie ein Nesselstrauch und eine Salzgrube und eine ewige Wüste. Die übrigen meines Volkes sollen sie berauben, und die Übriggebliebenen meines Volkes sollen sie erben.
Indonesian-Bahasa Sehari-hariDemi Aku yang hidup, Allah bangsa Israel, Aku akan menyapu bersih Moab dan Amon seperti Sodom dan Gomora. Negeri-negeri itu akan penuh dengan sumur-sumur garam dan puing-puing abadi yang ditumbuhi semak-semak belukar. Sisa umat-Ku yang terluput akan merampoki penduduknya, dan merebut tanah mereka."
Indonesian-Terjemahan LamaMaka sebab itu sesungguh-sungguh Aku ini hidup, demikianlah firman Tuhan serwa sekalian alam, Allah orang Israel, niscaya Moab akan jadi seperti Sodom dan bani Ammonpun seperti Gomorah, yaitu padang jelatang dan cebakan garam dan suatu kerobohan sampai selama-lamanya! Orang yang lagi tinggal dari pada umat-Ku itu kelak menyerang akan dia, dan orang yang lagi tinggal dari pada umat-Ku kelak mengambil dia akan miliknya pusaka.

NorwegianDerfor, så sant jeg lever, sier Herren, hærskarenes Gud, Israels Gud, skal det gå Moab som Sodoma og Ammons barn som Gomorra: De skal bli neslers eie og en saltgrube og en ørken til evig tid; resten av mitt folk skal plyndre dem; de som blir igjen av mitt folk, skal ta dem i eie.
PortuguesePortanto diz o Senhor dos exércitos, o Deus de Israel: Tão certo como eu vivo, Moabe será como Sodoma, e os filhos de Amom como Gomorra, campo de urtigas e poços de sal, e desolação perpétua; o restante do meu povo os saqueará, e o restante da minha nação os possuira.
