Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Uthenga wonena za Ninive. Buku la masomphenya a Nahumu wa ku Elikosi.
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
Yehova ndi Mulungu wansanje ndiponso wobwezera; Yehova amabwezera ndipo ndi waukali. Yehova amabwezera adani ake ndipo ukali wake umakhala nthawi zonse pa adani akewo.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Yehova sakwiya msanga koma ndi wa mphamvu yayikulu; ndipo sadzalola kuti munthu wolakwa asalangidwe. Iye amayenda mʼkamvuluvulu ndi mʼnamondwe, ndipo mitambo ndi fumbi la ku mapazi ake.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Amalamulira nyanja ndipo imawuma; amawumitsa mitsinje yonse. Zomera za ku Basani ndi Karimeli zimawuma ndipo maluwa a ku Lebanoni amafota.
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.
Mapiri amagwedera pamaso pake ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka. Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake, dziko lonse ndi zonse zokhala mʼmenemo.
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.
Ndani angathe kuyima pamaso pake Iye akalusa? Ndani angapirire mkwiyo wake woopsa? Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto; matanthwe akunyeka pamaso pake.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
Yehova ndi wabwino, ndiye kothawirako nthawi ya masautso. Amasamalira amene amamudalira,
8 But with a surpassing flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
koma ndi madzi achigumula choopsa Iye adzawononga adani ake (Ninive); adzapirikitsira adani ake ku malo a mdima.
9 What do all of you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Chiwembu chilichonse chimene akukonzekera kumuchitira Yehova adzachiwononga kotheratu; msautso sudzabweranso kachiwiri.
10 For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Iwo adzakodwa mu ziyangoyango za minga ndipo adzaledzera ndi vinyo wawo; adzatenthedwa ngati ziputu zowuma.
11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
Kwa iwe, Ninive, kunachokera munthu wa cholinga choyipa, wofuna kuchitira Yehova chiwembu, amene amapereka uphungu woyipa.
12 Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Yehova akuti, “Ngakhale Asiriyawo ali ndi abwenzi, kaya iwowo ndi ambiri, koma adzawonongedwa ndi kutheratu. Ngakhale ndinakuzunza iwe Yuda, sindidzakuzunzanso.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds in two.
Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.”
14 And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
Yehova walamulira za iwe, Ninive kuti, “Sudzakhala ndi zidzukulu zimene zidzadziwike ndi dzina lako. Ndidzawononga zifanizo zosema ndi mafano owumba amene ali mʼnyumba ya milungu yako. Ine ndidzakukumbira manda chifukwa ndiwe woyipitsitsa.”
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
Taonani, pa phiripo, mapazi a munthu amene akubweretsa nkhani yabwino, amene akulengeza za mtendere! Inu anthu a ku Yuda, chitani madyerero anu ndipo kwaniritsani malumbiro anu. Anthu oyipa sadzakuthiraninso nkhondo; iwo adzawonongedwa kotheratu.
