זֹ֥את לָהֶ֖ם תַּ֣חַת גְּאוֹנָ֑ם כִּ֤י חֵֽרְפוּ֙ וַיַּגְדִּ֔לוּ עַל־עַ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Because they reproached and made themselves great against the people of Yahweh of Armies, this will be to them instead of their pride”

זֹ֥את לָהֶ֖ם תַּ֣חַת גְּאוֹנָ֑ם
this(f) to/for=them below/instead_of pride_of,their
Yahweh is speaking as if the pride of the Moabites and Ammonites were literally an object that belonged to them. He is also speaking as if the destruction they are going to experience were also an object and as if he were going to take away their pride and give them destruction in its place. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “This will happen to them because they were so proud”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיַּגְדִּ֔לוּ עַל
and,boasted on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in
See how you translated the expression “made themselves great” in 2:8. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and stole bordering territories from” or “and boasted that they would take territory from”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֽוֹת
YHWH armies/messengers
See how you translated the title “Yahweh of Armies” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Yahweh the Almighty”
2:4-15 Zephaniah began his pronouncements with the Philistines, whose kingdom lay on Judah’s west (2:4-7). He moved on to Moab and Ammon in the east (2:8-11), and finally singled out Cush (Ethiopia) to the south (2:12) and Assyria to the north (2:13-15).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
