Nahum 1
1 The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Katonda kwe yalaga Nakkumu, Omwerukoosi okukwata ku bibambulira ebyali bijjira Nineeve.
2 The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
Katonda wa buggya era Mukama awalana eggwanga. Mukama awalana eggwanga era ajudde ekiruyi. Mukama yeesasuza ku balabe be era aterekera abamuwakanya obusungu bwe.
3 The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Mukama tatera kusunguwala, ate nga wa maanyi mangi era tayinza n’akatono butabonereza oyo gwe gusinze. Ekkubo lye liri mu mpewo ey’akazimu ne mu kibuyaga, n’ebire ye nfuufu y’ebigere bye.
4 He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.
Akangavvula ennyanja n’agikaza era akaza emigga gyonna, ennimiro ez’omu Basani zikala, olusozi Kalumeeri lwonna lukayuse, n’ebimuli bya Lebanooni biwotose.
5 The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.
Ensozi zikankanira mu maaso ga Katonda, obusozi ne busaanuuka, ettaka ne lyatikayatika mu maaso ge, ensi n’ekankana n’abantu bonna abagirimu.
6 Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.
Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso ge ng’asunguwadde? Ani ayinza okugumira obusungu bwe obw’amaanyi? Ekiruyi kye kibuubuuka ng’omuliro, n’enjazi n’eziyatikayatika.
7 The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.
8 But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.
Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.
9 What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
Buli kye mwekobaana okukola Mukama, alikikomya. Akabi tekalijja mulundi gwakubiri.
10 For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.
11 One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.
12 This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Newaakubadde nga balina be bakolagana nabo bangi, ate nga bangi, balizikirizibwa ne baggwaawo. Newaakubadde nga mbabonereza mmwe abantu bange, siriddayo kukikola nate.
13 And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”
14 The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
Kino Mukama ky’alagidde ekikwata ku Nineeve: “Erinnya lyo terikyayala nate. Ndizikiriza ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse ebiri mu masabo g’abakatonda bo; ndisima entaana yo kubanga oyinze obugwagwa.”
15 See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
Yimusa amaaso, tunula ku nsozi, laba, ebigere ebirungi eby’oyo aleese amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe. Ggwe Yuda kwata embaga zo entukuvu, era otuukirize obweyamo bwo; omubi kaakano takyakulumba, azikiririzibbwa ddala, tolimulaba nate.
