Nahum 1
1 THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ko te poropititanga mo Ninewe, Ko te pukapuka o te kite a Nahumu Erekohi.
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.
He Atua hae a Ihowa, he rapu utu; he rapu utu a Ihowa, a ki tonu i te riri; e rapu utu ana a Ihowa i ona hoariri, a e rongoatia ana e ia he riri mo ona hoariri.
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.
He puhoi a Ihowa ki te riri, he nui tona kaha, e kore rawa e whakaharakoretia e ia te tangata hara. Ko to Ihowa ara kei te tukauati, kei te paroro, ko nga kapua te puehu o ona waewae.
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.
E riria ana e ia te moana, a meinga ana kia maroke, a whakamaroketia ana nga awa katoa: e ngohe ana a Pahana, me Karamere, a kahakore noa iho te puawai o Repanona.
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.
Wiri ana nga maunga i a ia, rewa ana nga pukepuke; huamo ake ana te whenua i tona aroaro, ae ra, te ao, me nga tangata katoa e noho ana i reira.
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.
Ko wai e kaha ki te tu i mua i tona aritarita? ko wai e kaha ki te whakatika, ina mura tona riri; ko te ringihanga mai o tona weriweri, ano he ahi; ko nga kamaka wahia iho e ia.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
He pai a Ihowa, he pa kaha i te ra o te raru; e mohio ana hoki ia ki te hunga e whakawhirinaki ana ki a ia.
8 But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
Otiia ka moti to reira wahi i tana waipuke e ngawha ana; ka whaia ano e ia ona hoariri ki roto ki te pouri.
9 What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
Ko te aha ta koutou e whakaaro na ki a Ihowa? ka moti rawa i a ia: e kore e tuaruatia te putanga ake o te aitua.
10 For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
No te mea, ahakoa rite ratou ki te tataramoa e whiwhi ana, ahakoa ki nga kopu ano na ta ratou waina, ka tino pau ratou, ano he kakau witi kua maroke.
11 Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
Kua puta mai i roto i a koe tetahi e whakaaro ana i te he mo Ihowa, he kaiwhakatakoto i te whakaaro kino.
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.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ahakoa tino kaha ratou, ahakoa tini, heoi ka tapahia ratou, ka pahemo ia. Ahakoa i whiua koe e ahau, e kore koe e whiua e ahau a muri ake nei.
13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Na akuanei ahau wahi ai i tana ioka i runga i a koe, momotu ai i ou here.
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.
He whakahau hoki ta Ihowa mou, ara kia kaua e whakatokia tetahi o tou ingoa a muri ake nei: ka hatepea atu e ahau te whakapakoko tarai me te whakapakoko whakarewa i roto i te whare o ou atua: ka hanga e ahau he urupa mou; no te mea he kino koe.
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.
Nana, kei runga i nga maunga nga waewae o te kaikawe mai i te korero pai, o te kaikauwhau i te rongo mau. Mahia au hakari, e Hura, whakamana au kupu taurangi; no te mea heoi ano haeretanga atu o te tangata kino na waenga i a koe; kua hatepea raw atia atu ia.
