TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:7 The Baal worshipers (1:4) and the Philistines would never be restored (2:4-6; see also Amos 1:8). By contrast, God promised to return the remnant of his people to their land, care for them, and restore them to prosperity (Zeph 3:18-20; Isa 11:11-16; Jer 23:1-8; Ezek 34:11-16, 20-31).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֥ית יְהוּדָ֖ה

house_of Yehuda

Zephaniah is using the word house to mean the people who live in the kingdom of Judah. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the people of Judah”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ⁠בָתֵּ֣י אַשְׁקְל֗וֹן בָּ⁠עֶ֨רֶב֙ יִרְבָּצ֔וּ⁠ן

in/on/at/with,houses Ashkelon in/on/at/with,evening lie_down,

Zephaniah is using one aspect of living in a house, lying down there in the evening (that is, sleeping there at night) to mean living there in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they will come and live in the abandoned houses in the city of Ashkelon”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

יִפְקְדֵ֛⁠ם

mindful,them

Zephaniah is using the term visit in a specific sense to mean taking action in regard to someone. In 1:8, 1:9, and 1:12, the term describes taking action to punish people. But here it describes taking action to help people. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “will help them”
