Naum 1
1 The burden of Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
Chirevo pamusoro peNinevhe. Bhuku rezvakaonekwa naNahumi muErikoshi.
2 God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; the Lord avenges with wrath; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he cuts off his enemies.
Jehovha ane godo uye ndiMwari anotsiva; Jehovha anotsiva uye azere nehasha. Jehovha anotsiva kuvavengi vake uye anochengetera vavengi vake hasha dzake.
3 The Lord is longsuffering, and his power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: his way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Jehovha anononoka kutsamwa uye ane simba guru; Jehovha haangasiye ane mhosva asina kurangwa. Nzira yake iri muchamupupuri nedutu, uye makore ndiwo guruva retsoka dzake.
4 He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing [trees] of Libanus have come to nothing.
Anotuka gungwa agoriomesa; anoita kuti nzizi dzose dziome. Bhashani neKarimeri zvasvava uye kutumbuka kweRebhanoni kwapera.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at his presence, [even] the world, and all that dwell in it.
Makomo anodengenyeka pamberi pake uye zvikomo zvinonyungudika. Nyika inodedera pamberi pake, nyika uye navose vanogara mairi.
6 Who shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nothing kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
Ndiani angadzivisa hasha dzake? Ndiani angashingirire pahasha dzake dzinotyisa? Hasha dzake dzadururwa somoto; matombo apwanyika pamberi pake.
7 The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
Jehovha akanaka, utiziro panguva dzokutambudzika. Anochengeta avo vanovimba naye,
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and his enemies.
asi namafashamu ane simba guru, achaparadza Ninevhe; achateverera vavengi vake kusvikira murima.
9 What do you devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same time.
Zvose zvavakaronga pamusoro paJehovha iye achazviparadza; dambudziko haringauyi kechipiri.
10 For [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and as stubble fully dry.
Vachakorokodzwa pakati peminzwa uye vachadhakwa newaini yavo; vachaparadzwa samashanga akaoma.
11 Out of you shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
Kubva mauri, iwe Ninevhe, pane mumwe akabuda anoronga zvakaipa pamusoro paJehovha uye anopa zano rakaipa.
12 Thus says the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of you shall not be heard any more.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kunyange vane vabatsiri uye vakawanda, vachaurayiwa vakasazovapozve. Kunyange ndakakutambudza, iwe Judha, handichazokutambudzazve.
13 And now will I break his rod from off you, and will burst [your] bonds.
Zvino ndichavhuna joko ravo kubva pamutsipa wako uye ndichadambura ngetani dzako.”
14 And the Lord shall give a command concerning you; there shall no more of your name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of your god, and the molten [images]: I will make your grave; for [they are] swift.
Jehovha arayira shoko pamusoro pako, iwe Ninevhe, rokuti, “Hauchazovi nezvizvarwa zvinopiwa zita rako. Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvakavezwa nezvifananidzo zvakaumbwa, zviri mutemberi yavamwari vako. Ndichachera guva rako, nokuti iwe wakaipa kwazvo.”
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep your feasts, pay your vows: for they shall no more pass through you to [your] decay.
Tarira, pamakomo apo, tsoka dzouyo anouya namashoko akanaka, anoparidza rugare! Pemberera mitambo yako, iwe Judha, uye uzadzise mhiko dzako. Vakaipa havachakurwisazve; vachaparadzwa zvachose.
