Nahum 1
1 Wach Nyasaye kuom Nineve. Kitap fweny mar Nahum ja-Elkosh.
The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma janyiego kendo machulo kuor. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor kendo en gi mirima. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor ne joma kwede kendo kumne osiko kuom jowasike.
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
3 Jehova Nyasaye iye ok wangʼ piyo kendo en gi teko maduongʼ. Jehova Nyasaye ok nowe joketho ma ok okumo. Yore moluwo ni ei kalausi gi ahiti, bende boche polo gin buch tiende.
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Ogolo chik to nam mi nam tuo, kendo aore duto dwono. Lege mabeyo mag Bashan gi Karmel tuo, kendo yiende mag Lebanon bende ner.
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
5 Gode madongo yiengni e nyime kendo thuche leny nono. Piny tetni e nyime, piny kod ji duto madakie tetni.
The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
6 Ere ngʼat manyalo siro mirimbe? Koso en ngʼa manyalo siro mirimbe mager? Mirimbe mager oolo mana ka mach. Lwendni barore e nyime.
Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Jehova Nyasaye ber, Jehova Nyasaye e kar pondo e kinde mag chandruok, orito joma ogeno kuome.
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
8 Nineve to obiro ywero, gi ohula maduongʼ motiek chuth; obiro lawo joma kwede nyaka e mudho mandiwa.
But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
9 Gimoro amora marach ma gichano timo ni Jehova Nyasaye obiro tieko; bende chandruok ok nobedie kendo.
What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 Gibiro moko e kind kuthe kendo gibiro mer gi divai mag-gi, bende ibiro wangʼ-gi ka lum motwo.
For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
11 Ngʼat machano gik maricho kuom Jehova Nyasaye wuok mana kuomi, yaye Nineve, en e ngʼat mamiyo ji donjo e ketho.
Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
12 Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Kata obedo ni gingʼeny kendo gin gi joma konyogi, ibiro ngʼad kargi oko mi gilal nono. Kata obedo ni asesandi, yaye Juda, ok anachak sandi kendo.
This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Koro abiro turo jok ma giketo e ngʼuti kendo abiro chodo nyororo motweyigo.”
Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
14 Jehova Nyasaye osegolo chik kuomi, in Nineve, kowacho niya: “Ok inibed gi nyikwayi mabiro tingʼo nyingi. Abiro tieko nyisecheu manono mopa kaachiel gi mochwe gi lowo manie uteu mag lemo. Abiro kunyonu bur miyikoue nikech un joma timbegi richo.”
Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
15 Tingʼ wangʼi, ineye tiende ngʼat makelo Injili, kendo malando kwe ewi gode! Tim nyasi mar mor, yaye Juda, chopuru singruoku. Jomaricho ok nochak omonju kendo; nikech ibiro tiekgi pep.
Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
