Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Raajii waaʼee Nanawwee dubbatame. Kitaaba mulʼata Naahoom Elqooshicha.
2 A God zealous and avenging [is] YHWH, An avenger [is] YHWH, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] YHWH on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
Waaqayyo Waaqa hinaafuu fi Waaqa haaloo baʼuu dha; Waaqayyo haaloo ni baʼa; dheekkamsaanis guutameera. Waaqayyo diinota isaa haaloo ni baʼa; dheekkamsa isaas amajaajota isaatiif ni kuusa.
3 YHWH [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And YHWH does not entirely acquit, In a windstorm and in a storm [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
Waaqayyo dheekkamuuf hin jarjaru; humni isaa immoo guddaa dha; Waaqayyo nama balleessaa qabu utuu hin adabin hin dhiisu. Bubbee hamaa fi dhaʼaa galaanaa keessaas karaa qaba; duumessi immoo awwaara miilla isaa ti.
4 He is pushing against a sea, and dries it up, Indeed, He has made all the floods dry, Bashan and Carmel [are] languishing, Indeed, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
Inni galaanatti dheekkamee gogsa; akka lagni hundinuu gogu godha. Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos ni coollagu; daraaraa Libaanoonis ni harcaʼa.
5 Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And the earth [is] lifted up at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
Fuula isaa duratti tulluuwwan ni kirkiru; gaarranis baqanii badu. Iddoo inni jirutti lafti ni hollatti; addunyaa fi wanni addunyaa irra jiraatu hundi ni hollatu.
6 Who stands before His indignation? And who rises up in the heat of His anger? His fury has been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana obsuu dandaʼa? Dheekkamsi isaa akkuma ibiddaa dhangalaʼa; fuula isaa duratti kattaawwan ni burkutaaʼu.
7 Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
Waaqayyo gaarii dha; yeroo rakkinaattis daʼoo dha. Inni warra isa amanatan ni beeka;
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
Garuu inni lolaa jabaadhaan Nanawwee ni balleessa; amajaajota isaas ariʼee dukkanatti galcha.
9 What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
Wanni isin Waaqayyootti yaaddan maali? inni guutumaan guutuutti ni balleessa; rakkoonis lammata hin dhufu.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Isaan qoraattii keessatti xaxamanii daadhii wayinii isaaniitiin machaaʼu; akkuma cidii gogeetti gubatanii dhumu.
11 From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
Yaa Nanawwee, namni Waaqayyotti hammina malatee waan hamaa karoorfatu si keessaa argameera.
12 Thus said YHWH: “Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he has passed away. Though I afflicted you, I afflict you no longer.
Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Isaan jabinaa fi baayʼina yoo qabaatan iyyuu isaan ni barbadeeffamu; ni badus. Yaa Yihuudaa, ani yoon duraan si miidhee jiraadhe iyyuu, siʼachi si hin miidhu.
13 And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
Ani amma waanjoo isaanii gurmuu keessan irraa nan cabsa; hudhaa kees sirraa nan kuta.”
14 And YHWH has commanded concerning you, “No more of your name spreads abroad, I cut off carved and molten image from the house of your gods, I appoint your grave, for you have been vile.”
Yaa Nanawwee, Waaqayyo akkana jedhee waaʼee kee ajaja kennee jira: “Ati sanyii maqaan kee ittiin waamamu hin qabaattu. Ani fakkiiwwan soofamanii fi waaqota tolfamoo baqfamanii tolfaman kanneen galmawwan waaqota keetii keessa jiran nan barbadeessa. Waan ati akka malee balfamaa taateef ani awwaala siif nan qopheessa.”
15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, your festivals, complete your vows, For the worthless no longer pass over into you, He has been completely cut off!
Kunoo, miilli nama oduu gaarii fidu, kan nagaa labsu tokkoo tulluuwwan irra jira! Yaa Yihuudaa, ayyaanota kee ayyaaneffadhu; wareega kees baafadhu. Siʼachi hamaan si hin weeraru; inni guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
