Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
K A OLELO no Nineva. O ka Buke o ka wanana a Nahuma, no Elekosa.
2 Jehovah is a jealous God and avenges. Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
Ua lili ke Akua, a o Iehova ka mea hoopai, O Iehova ka mea hoopai, a he huhu kona; O Iehova ka mea hoopai i kona poe ku e, A oia ke malama i ka huhu no kona poe enemi.
3 Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty. Jehovah has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Ua hookaulua o Iehova i ka huhu, a he nui ka mana, Aole loa ia e kala wale aku: Aia no ke ala o Iehova, iloko o ka puahiohio, a me ka ino, A o na ao ka lepo o kona mau wawae.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Papa aku no ia i ke kai, a hoomaloo iho la ia mea, A hoomaloo iho i na muliwai a pau: Ua mae o Basana, a me Karemela; A ua mae ka pua o Lebanona.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is up heaved at his presence. Yea, the world, and all who dwell therein.
Ua hoonaueia na mauna e ia, A ua hee iho la na puu; Neenee ka aina ia ia iho mai kona alo ae, A o ka honua, a me na mea a pau e noho ana iloko.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
Owai la ka mea e ku imua o kona inaina? Owai la ka mea e ku mai i ka wela o kona huhu? Ua nininiia kona huhu me he ahi la, Ua hiolo iho na pohaku ma ona la.
7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Ua maikai o Iehova, he paku oia i ka la popilikia; A ua ike no ia i ka poe hilinai ia ia.
8 But with an over running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Me ka wai nui e holo ana, a hooki loa aku ia i kona wahi, A e hahai ka pouli i kona poe enemi.
9 What do ye devise against Jehovah? He will make a full end. Affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Heaha ko oukou manao ku e ia Iehova? E hooki loa aku ia, aole e hiki palua mai ka popilikia.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
No ka mea, e like me na laau kuku, ua huipuia lakou, A ua ona lakou e like me ka poe ona, E hoopauia lakou e like me ka opala maloo loa.
11 He has gone forth out of thee, who devises evil against Jehovah, who counsels wickedness.
Ua puka mai ka mea mai ou mai la e manao hewa ana ia Iehova; He kakaolelo hewa,
12 Thus says Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they shall be cut down. And he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Peneia i olelo mai o Iehova, Ina ua maluhia lakou, a nui hoi, A e hookiia lakou pela, a e hele ae la ia: A ua hoohaahaa aku au ia oe, aole nae au e hoohaahaa hou aku ia oe.
13 And now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds apart.
Ano hoi, e hemo ia'u kana auamo mai ou aku la: A e moku ia'u kou mau kaula.
14 And Jehovah has given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown. Out of the house of thy gods I will cut off the graven image and the molten image. I will make thy grave, for thou are vile.
A ua kauoha mai o Iehova nou, Aole e lulu hou ia kou inoa: Mailoko mai o ka hale o kou mau akua, e oki aku au i ke kii kalai, a me ke kii hoohehee: E hana iho au i kou halekupapau, no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia oe.
15 Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah. Perform thy vows, for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee. He is utterly cut off.
Aia hoi, maluna o na mauua na wawae o ka mea e hai ana i ka mea maikai, E hoike ana hoi i ka malu! E Iuda, e malama i kau mau ahaaina; E hooko i kau mau hoohiki ana: No ka mea, aole e hele hou ka mea aia ma ou la, Ua oki loa ia'ku oia.
