< Nahum 1 >

1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Nineve. Ti Libro ti Sirmata ni Nahum, nga Elkoshita.
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.
Ni Yahweh ket managimon a Dios ken managibales; managibales ni Yahweh ken napnoan ti pungtot; managibales ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorna ken sipupungtot latta kadagiti kabusorna.
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.
Saan a nalaka nga agpungtot ni Yahweh ken naindaklan ti pannakabalinna, saanna a pulos nga ipakaammo nga awan basol dagiti kabusorna. Ipakpakita ni Yahweh ti wagasna babaen iti alipugpog ken iti bagyo, ket dagiti ulep ti tapok dagiti sakana.
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.
Tubngarenna ti baybay ken pagmagaenna daytoy; paatiananna dagiti amin a karayan. Nakapuy ti Basan ken kasta met ti Carmel; dagiti sabong ti Libano ket aglaylay.
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.
Agkintayeg dagiti bantay iti presensiana, ken marunaw dagiti turturod; margaay ti daga iti presensiana, pudno, ti lubong ken dagiti amin tattao nga agnanaed iti daytoy.
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.
Siasino ti makabael a sumango iti pungtotna? Siasino ti makalapped iti kinarungsot ti ungetna? Naibukbok ti pungtotna a maiyarig iti apuy ken naburak dagiti bato gapu kenkuana.
7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Naimbag ni Yahweh, maysa a sarikedked iti aldaw ti riribuk; ken napudno isuna kadagiti agkamang kenkuana.
8 But with an over running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Ngem gibusannanto a naan-nay dagiti kabusorna babaen iti napigsa a layus; kamatennanto ida iti kasipngetan.
9 What do ye devise against Jehovah? He will make a full end. Affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Dakayo a tattao, ania ti pangpanggepenyo a maibusor kenni Yahweh? Gibusannanto a naan-anay daytoy; saanto a rumsua ti riribuk iti maikadua a daras.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
Ta agpipinnutipotdanto a kas kadagiti sisiit; mabartekdanto kadagiti inumenda; makisapdanto a naan-anay babaen iti apuy a kas iti namaga a garami.
11 He has gone forth out of thee, who devises evil against Jehovah, who counsels wickedness.
Maysa a tao ti bimmangon kenka, O Ninive, a nagpanggep iti dakes maibusor kenni Yahweh, maysa a nangiyam-ammo iti kinadakes.
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.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Uray no addaanda iti naan-anay a pigsa ken bilang, maputeddanto met laeng; awanton dagiti tattaoda. Ngem sika, O Juda: Uray no pinagsagabaka, saankanton a pagsagabaen.
13 And now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds apart.
Ita, tukkolek dayta a sangol dagiti tattao manipud kenka; pugsatek dagiti kawarmo.”
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.
Ket nangted ni Yahweh iti bilin maipanggep kenka, O Nineve: “Awanton ti kaputotan a mangawit iti naganmo. Ikkatekto dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan ken ti ladawan a nasukog iti landok manipud kadagiti balay dagiti diosmo. kaliekto dagiti tanemmo, gapu ta nadangkeska.”
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.
Kumitaka, kadagiti tapaw dagiti bantay, adda dagiti saka ti maysa a tao a mangmangyeg iti naimbag a damag, a mangiwarwaragawag iti kappia! Rambakam dagiti fiestam, O Juda, ken tungpalem dagiti sapatam, gapu ta saannakanton a rauten ti nadangkes; naikisap isuna a naan-anay.
