< Nahum 1 >

1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ nípa Ninefe. Ìwé ìran Nahumu ará Elkoṣi.
2 God is jealous, And Yhwh revengeth; Yhwh revengeth, and is furious; Yhwh will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
Ọlọ́run ń jẹ owú, ó sì ń gbẹ̀san, Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san, ó sì kún fún ìbínú. Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Ìbínú rẹ̀ kò sì yí padà lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
3 Yhwh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: Yhwh hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Olúwa lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì tóbi ní agbára; Olúwa kì yóò fi àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láìjìyà. Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ wà nínú afẹ́fẹ́ àti nínú ìjì, ìkùùkuu sánmọ̀ sì ni eruku ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó bá òkun wí, ó sì mú kí ó gbẹ; Ó sìsọ gbogbo odò di gbígbẹ. Baṣani àti Karmeli sì rọ. Ìtànná Lebanoni sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀, àwọn òkè kéékèèké sì di yíyọ́, ilẹ̀ ayé sì jóná níwájú rẹ̀, àní ayé àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
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 thrown down by him.
Ta ni ó lé dúró níwájú ìbínú rẹ̀? Ta ni ó lé faradà gbígbóná ìbínú rẹ̀? Ìbínú rẹ̀ tú jáde bí iná; àwọn àpáta sì fọ́ túútúú níwájú rẹ̀.
7 Yhwh is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Rere ni Olúwa, òun ni ààbò ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú. Òun sì tọ́jú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e,
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìkún omi ńlá ní òun yóò fi ṣe ìparun láti ibẹ̀ dé òpin; òkùnkùn yóò sì máa lépa àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
9 What do ye imagine against Yhwh? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Kí ni ẹ̀yìn ń gbìmọ̀ lòdì sí Olúwa? Òun yóò fi òpin sí i, ìpọ́njú kì yóò wáyé ní ìgbà kejì.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Wọn yóò sì lọ́lù papọ̀ bí ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú wọn yóò sì mu àmupara nínú ọtí wáìnì wọn a ó sì run wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bi àgékù koríko gbígbẹ.
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against Yhwh, a wicked counsellor.
Láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ninefe, ni ẹnìkan ti jáde wá tí ó ń gbèrò ibi sí Olúwa ti ó sì ń gbìmọ̀ búburú.
12 Thus saith Yhwh; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ni ìfọwọ́sowọ́pọ̀, tí wọ́n sì pọ̀ níye, ṣùgbọ́n, báyìí ní a ó ké wọn lulẹ̀, nígbà tí òun ó bá kọjá. Bí mo tilẹ̀ ti pọ́n ọ lójú ìwọ Juda, èmi kì yóò pọ́n ọ lójúmọ́.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Nísinsin yìí ni èmi yóò já àjàgà wọn kúrò ní ọrùn rẹ èmi yóò já ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ rẹ dànù.”
14 And Yhwh hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
Olúwa ti fi àṣẹ kan lélẹ̀ nítorí tìrẹ Ninefe: “Ìwọ kì yóò ni irú-ọmọ láti máa jẹ́ orúkọ rẹ mọ́, Èmi yóò pa ère fínfín àti ère dídà run tí ó wà nínú tẹmpili àwọn ọlọ́run rẹ. Èmi yóò wa ibojì rẹ, nítorí ẹ̀gbin ni ìwọ.”
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Wò ó, lórí àwọn òkè, àwọn ẹsẹ̀ ẹni tí ó mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wá, ẹni tí ó ń kéde àlàáfíà. Ìwọ Juda, pa àṣẹ rẹ tí ó ní ìrònú mọ́, kí ó sì san àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ. Àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sì gbóguntì ọ́ mọ́; wọn yóò sì parun pátápátá.
