Nahum 1
1 THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Nineve. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ibuku rĩa kĩoneki kĩa Nahumu, ũrĩa Mũelikoshi.
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 nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩ ũiru na mwĩrĩhĩria; Jehova nĩerĩhagĩria na akaiyũrwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ. Jehova nĩerĩhagĩria harĩ thũ ciake, na agatũũria mangʼũrĩ make harĩ amuku ake.
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 ndahiũhaga kũrakara na nĩarĩ hinya mũnene; Jehova ndakaaga kũherithia mũndũ mwaganu. Njĩra yake ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa rũhuho rũnene na thĩinĩ wa kĩhuhũkanio, matu namo nĩ rũkũngũ rwa makinya make.
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.
Akũũmaga iria, agatũma rĩhũe; ahũithagia njũũĩ ciothe. Bashani na Karimeli nĩkũhoohete, na kĩro kĩa Lebanoni gĩkaragatha.
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.
Irĩma ithingithaga mbere yake, natuo tũrĩma tũgatweka. Thĩ ĩinainaga ĩrĩ mbere yake, o na mabũrũri mothe makainaina, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo.
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.
Nũũ ũngĩĩtiiria mathirĩ make? Nũũ ũngĩkĩũmĩrĩria marakara make mahiũ? Mangʼũrĩ make-rĩ, maitĩkaga ta mwaki; ndwaro cia mahiga igathethereka mbere yake.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
Jehova nĩ mwega, nĩ kĩĩhitho hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna. Arĩa mamwĩhokete-rĩ, nĩamamenyagĩrĩra,
8 But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
no rĩrĩ, nĩakaniina Nineve na kĩguũ kĩnene kĩa maaĩ; nĩakaingata thũ ciake nginya nduma-inĩ.
9 What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
Ũrĩa wothe magaaciirĩra gwĩka Jehova-rĩ, we nĩakaũniina; o na thĩĩna ndũgooka hĩndĩ ya keerĩ.
10 For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Makaarigiicwo mĩigua-inĩ na marĩĩo nĩ ndibei yao; nao magaacinwo ta maragara momũ.
11 Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
Nĩ harĩ ũmwe wĩyumĩrĩtie thĩinĩ waku wee Nineve, ũrĩa ũthugundaga ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova, na akaheanaga irĩra cia waganu.
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 ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O na aakorwo marĩ na arata, na nĩ aingĩ mũno-rĩ, nĩmakaniinwo, meherio. O na aakorwo nĩngũnyariirĩte, wee Juda-rĩ, ndigacooka gũkũnyariira rĩngĩ.
13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩnguunanga icooki rĩao riume ngingo-inĩ yaku, na nduange mĩnyororo ĩrĩa woheetwo nayo.”
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 nĩarutĩte watho ũgũkoniĩ, wee Nineve, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ndũkagĩa na njiaro cia gũtũũria rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Nĩngananga mĩhianano ĩyo mĩicũhie o na ĩyo ya gũtwekio ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu hekarũ ya ngai ciaku. Nĩngũhaarĩria mbĩrĩra yaku, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩ kĩndũ kĩũru biũ.”
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.
Ta cũthĩrĩriai kũũrĩa irĩma-igũrũ, muone magũrũ ma mũndũ ũrĩa ũrarehe ũhoro mwega, ũrĩa wanagĩrĩra thayũ! Wee Juda-rĩ, kũngũĩra ciathĩ ciaku, na ũhingie mĩĩhĩtwa yaku. Andũ aaganu matigagũtharĩkĩra rĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaniinwo biũ.
