Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ko te poropititanga mo Ninewe, Ko te pukapuka o te kite a Nahumu Erekohi.
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.
He Atua hae a Ihowa, he rapu utu; he rapu utu a Ihowa, a ki tonu i te riri; e rapu utu ana a Ihowa i ona hoariri, a e rongoatia ana e ia he riri mo ona hoariri.
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.
He puhoi a Ihowa ki te riri, he nui tona kaha, e kore rawa e whakaharakoretia e ia te tangata hara. Ko to Ihowa ara kei te tukauati, kei te paroro, ko nga kapua te puehu o ona waewae.
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.
E riria ana e ia te moana, a meinga ana kia maroke, a whakamaroketia ana nga awa katoa: e ngohe ana a Pahana, me Karamere, a kahakore noa iho te puawai o Repanona.
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.
Wiri ana nga maunga i a ia, rewa ana nga pukepuke; huamo ake ana te whenua i tona aroaro, ae ra, te ao, me nga tangata katoa e noho ana i reira.
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.
Ko wai e kaha ki te tu i mua i tona aritarita? ko wai e kaha ki te whakatika, ina mura tona riri; ko te ringihanga mai o tona weriweri, ano he ahi; ko nga kamaka wahia iho e ia.
7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him.
He pai a Ihowa, he pa kaha i te ra o te raru; e mohio ana hoki ia ki te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
8 But with an over running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Otiia ka moti to reira wahi i tana waipuke e ngawha ana; ka whaia ano e ia ona hoariri ki roto ki te pouri.
9 What do ye devise against Jehovah? He will make a full end. Affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Ko te aha ta koutou e whakaaro na ki a Ihowa? ka moti rawa i a ia: e kore e tuaruatia te putanga ake o te aitua.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
No te mea, ahakoa rite ratou ki te tataramoa e whiwhi ana, ahakoa ki nga kopu ano na ta ratou waina, ka tino pau ratou, ano he kakau witi kua maroke.
11 He has gone forth out of thee, who devises evil against Jehovah, who counsels wickedness.
Kua puta mai i roto i a koe tetahi e whakaaro ana i te he mo Ihowa, he kaiwhakatakoto i te whakaaro kino.
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.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ahakoa tino kaha ratou, ahakoa tini, heoi ka tapahia ratou, ka pahemo ia. Ahakoa i whiua koe e ahau, e kore koe e whiua e ahau a muri ake nei.
13 And now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds apart.
Na akuanei ahau wahi ai i tana ioka i runga i a koe, momotu ai i ou here.
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.
He whakahau hoki ta Ihowa mou, ara kia kaua e whakatokia tetahi o tou ingoa a muri ake nei: ka hatepea atu e ahau te whakapakoko tarai me te whakapakoko whakarewa i roto i te whare o ou atua: ka hanga e ahau he urupa mou; no te mea he kino koe.
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.
Nana, kei runga i nga maunga nga waewae o te kaikawe mai i te korero pai, o te kaikauwhau i te rongo mau. Mahia au hakari, e Hura, whakamana au kupu taurangi; no te mea heoi ano haeretanga atu o te tangata kino na waenga i a koe; kua hatepea raw atia atu ia.
