Nahum 1
1 The doom of Nineveh, The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Wach Nyasaye kuom Nineve. Kitap fweny mar Nahum ja-Elkosh.
2 A God watchful and avenging is the Lord; an avenger is the Lord, and full of fury; the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and keepeth in mind the deeds of 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, but he 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 all the rivers he drieth up: Bashan then withereth, with Carmel, and the flowers of Lebanon wither.
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 Mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away; and the earth is lifted up 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 Before his indignation who can stand? and who can subsist before the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down by 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 strong-hold on the day of distress; and he knoweth those that trust in him.
Jehova Nyasaye ber, Jehova Nyasaye e kar pondo e kinde mag chandruok, orito joma ogeno kuome.
8 But with an overflowing flood will he utterly destroy the place of [Nineveh], and his enemies will he pursue with darkness.
Nineve to obiro ywero, gi ohula maduongʼ motiek chuth; obiro lawo joma kwede nyaka e mudho mandiwa.
9 What will you devise against the Lord? he is bringing about an utter destruction, the distress shall not rise up twice.
Gimoro amora marach ma gichano timo ni Jehova Nyasaye obiro tieko; bende chandruok ok nobedie kendo.
10 For they, like thorns interwoven, and as men made drunken in their drinking bout, shall be entirely consumed as dry stubble.
Gibiro moko e kind kuthe kendo gibiro mer gi divai mag-gi, bende ibiro wangʼ-gi ka lum motwo.
11 There is gone forth out of thee he that devised evil against the Lord, the counsellor of infamous things.
Ngʼat machano gik maricho kuom Jehova Nyasaye wuok mana kuomi, yaye Nineve, en e ngʼat mamiyo ji donjo e ketho.
12 Thus hath said the Lord, Though they be complete, and ever so many, nevertheless shall they be cut down, and it shall be over [with them]: and if even 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 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and thy bonds will I tear asunder.
Koro abiro turo jok ma giketo e ngʼuti kendo abiro chodo nyororo motweyigo.”
14 But against thee hath the Lord decreed, that no heir of thy name shall be any more: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven and the molten image; I will prepare thy grave [there]; for thou art made vile.
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 are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, Celebrate thy feasts, O Judah, fulfill thy vows; for never more shall the wicked pass again 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.
