Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ nípa Ninefe. Ìwé ìran Nahumu ará Elkoṣi.
2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.
Ọlọ́run ń jẹ owú, ó sì ń gbẹ̀san, Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san, ó sì kún fún ìbínú. Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Ìbínú rẹ̀ kò sì yí padà lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
Olúwa lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì tóbi ní agbára; Olúwa kì yóò fi àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láìjìyà. Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ wà nínú afẹ́fẹ́ àti nínú ìjì, ìkùùkuu sánmọ̀ sì ni eruku ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
Ó bá òkun wí, ó sì mú kí ó gbẹ; Ó sìsọ gbogbo odò di gbígbẹ. Baṣani àti Karmeli sì rọ. Ìtànná Lebanoni sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀, àwọn òkè kéékèèké sì di yíyọ́, ilẹ̀ ayé sì jóná níwájú rẹ̀, àní ayé àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
Ta ni ó lé dúró níwájú ìbínú rẹ̀? Ta ni ó lé faradà gbígbóná ìbínú rẹ̀? Ìbínú rẹ̀ tú jáde bí iná; àwọn àpáta sì fọ́ túútúú níwájú rẹ̀.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
Rere ni Olúwa, òun ni ààbò ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú. Òun sì tọ́jú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e,
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìkún omi ńlá ní òun yóò fi ṣe ìparun láti ibẹ̀ dé òpin; òkùnkùn yóò sì máa lépa àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
Kí ni ẹ̀yìn ń gbìmọ̀ lòdì sí Olúwa? Òun yóò fi òpin sí i, ìpọ́njú kì yóò wáyé ní ìgbà kejì.
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
Wọn yóò sì lọ́lù papọ̀ bí ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú wọn yóò sì mu àmupara nínú ọtí wáìnì wọn a ó sì run wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bi àgékù koríko gbígbẹ.
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ninefe, ni ẹnìkan ti jáde wá tí ó ń gbèrò ibi sí Olúwa ti ó sì ń gbìmọ̀ búburú.
12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ni ìfọwọ́sowọ́pọ̀, tí wọ́n sì pọ̀ níye, ṣùgbọ́n, báyìí ní a ó ké wọn lulẹ̀, nígbà tí òun ó bá kọjá. Bí mo tilẹ̀ ti pọ́n ọ lójú ìwọ Juda, èmi kì yóò pọ́n ọ lójúmọ́.
13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
Nísinsin yìí ni èmi yóò já àjàgà wọn kúrò ní ọrùn rẹ èmi yóò já ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ rẹ dànù.”
14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
Olúwa ti fi àṣẹ kan lélẹ̀ nítorí tìrẹ Ninefe: “Ìwọ kì yóò ni irú-ọmọ láti máa jẹ́ orúkọ rẹ mọ́, Èmi yóò pa ère fínfín àti ère dídà run tí ó wà nínú tẹmpili àwọn ọlọ́run rẹ. Èmi yóò wa ibojì rẹ, nítorí ẹ̀gbin ni ìwọ.”
15 Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
Wò ó, lórí àwọn òkè, àwọn ẹsẹ̀ ẹni tí ó mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wá, ẹni tí ó ń kéde àlàáfíà. Ìwọ Juda, pa àṣẹ rẹ tí ó ní ìrònú mọ́, kí ó sì san àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ. Àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sì gbóguntì ọ́ mọ́; wọn yóò sì parun pátápátá.
