Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.
Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Katonda kwe yalaga Nakkumu, Omwerukoosi okukwata ku bibambulira ebyali bijjira Nineeve.
2 God is ielous, and the Lord reuengeth: the Lord reuengeth: euen the Lord of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his aduersaries, and he reserueth wrath for his enemies.
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 anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely cleare the wicked: the Lord hath his way in ye whirlewind, and in the storme, and the cloudes are the dust of his feete.
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 rebuketh the sea, and dryeth it, and he dryeth vp all the riuers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the floure of Lebanon is wasted.
Akangavvula ennyanja n’agikaza era akaza emigga gyonna, ennimiro ez’omu Basani zikala, olusozi Kalumeeri lwonna lukayuse, n’ebimuli bya Lebanooni biwotose.
5 The mountaines tremble for him, and the hilles melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea, the worlde, and all that dwell therein.
Ensozi zikankanira mu maaso ga Katonda, obusozi ne busaanuuka, ettaka ne lyatikayatika mu maaso ge, ensi n’ekankana n’abantu bonna abagirimu.
6 Who can stande before his wrath? or who can abide in the fiercenesse of his wrath? his wrath is powred out like fire, and the rockes are broken 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 and as a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.
8 But passing ouer as with a flood, he will vtterly destroy the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.
Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.
9 What doe ye imagine against the Lord? he wil make an vtter destruction: affliction shall not rise vp the seconde time.
Buli kye mwekobaana okukola Mukama, alikikomya. Akabi tekalijja mulundi gwakubiri.
10 For he shall come as vnto thornes folden one in another, and as vnto drunkards in their drunkennesse: they shall be deuoured as stubble fully dryed.
Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.
11 There commeth one out of thee that imagineth euill against the Lord, euen a wicked counsellour.
Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.
12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall passe by: though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
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 For nowe I will breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”
14 And the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sowen: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the grauen, and the molten image: I will make it thy graue for thee, for thou art vile.
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 Beholde vpon the mountaines the feete of him that declareth, and publisheth peace: O Iudah, keepe thy solemne feastes, perfourme thy vowes: for the wicked shall no more passe thorowe thee: he is vtterly 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.
