Nahum 1
1 THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Wach Nyasaye kuom Nineve. Kitap fweny mar Nahum ja-Elkosh.
2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God, the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma janyiego kendo machulo kuor. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor kendo en gi mirima. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor ne joma kwede kendo kumne osiko kuom jowasike.
3 The LORD is long-suffering, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty; the LORD, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
Jehova Nyasaye iye ok wangʼ piyo kendo en gi teko maduongʼ. Jehova Nyasaye ok nowe joketho ma ok okumo. Yore moluwo ni ei kalausi gi ahiti, bende boche polo gin buch tiende.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers; Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
Ogolo chik to nam mi nam tuo, kendo aore duto dwono. Lege mabeyo mag Bashan gi Karmel tuo, kendo yiende mag Lebanon bende ner.
5 The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at His presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
Gode madongo yiengni e nyime kendo thuche leny nono. Piny tetni e nyime, piny kod ji duto madakie tetni.
6 Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder before Him.
Ere ngʼat manyalo siro mirimbe? Koso en ngʼa manyalo siro mirimbe mager? Mirimbe mager oolo mana ka mach. Lwendni barore e nyime.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
Jehova Nyasaye ber, Jehova Nyasaye e kar pondo e kinde mag chandruok, orito joma ogeno kuome.
8 But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
Nineve to obiro ywero, gi ohula maduongʼ motiek chuth; obiro lawo joma kwede nyaka e mudho mandiwa.
9 What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
Gimoro amora marach ma gichano timo ni Jehova Nyasaye obiro tieko; bende chandruok ok nobedie kendo.
10 For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Gibiro moko e kind kuthe kendo gibiro mer gi divai mag-gi, bende ibiro wangʼ-gi ka lum motwo.
11 Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
Ngʼat machano gik maricho kuom Jehova Nyasaye wuok mana kuomi, yaye Nineve, en e ngʼat mamiyo ji donjo e ketho.
12 Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Kata obedo ni gingʼeny kendo gin gi joma konyogi, ibiro ngʼad kargi oko mi gilal nono. Kata obedo ni asesandi, yaye Juda, ok anachak sandi kendo.
13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Koro abiro turo jok ma giketo e ngʼuti kendo abiro chodo nyororo motweyigo.”
14 And the LORD hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown; out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art become worthless.
Jehova Nyasaye osegolo chik kuomi, in Nineve, kowacho niya: “Ok inibed gi nyikwayi mabiro tingʼo nyingi. Abiro tieko nyisecheu manono mopa kaachiel gi mochwe gi lowo manie uteu mag lemo. Abiro kunyonu bur miyikoue nikech un joma timbegi richo.”
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that announceth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Tingʼ wangʼi, ineye tiende ngʼat makelo Injili, kendo malando kwe ewi gode! Tim nyasi mar mor, yaye Juda, chopuru singruoku. Jomaricho ok nochak omonju kendo; nikech ibiro tiekgi pep.
