Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Uthenga wonena za Ninive. Buku la masomphenya a Nahumu wa ku Elikosi.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Amalamulira nyanja ndipo imawuma; amawumitsa mitsinje yonse. Zomera za ku Basani ndi Karimeli zimawuma ndipo maluwa a ku Lebanoni amafota.
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.
Mapiri amagwedera pamaso pake ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka. Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake, dziko lonse ndi zonse zokhala mʼmenemo.
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.
Ndani angathe kuyima pamaso pake Iye akalusa? Ndani angapirire mkwiyo wake woopsa? Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto; matanthwe akunyeka pamaso pake.
7 Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
Yehova ndi wabwino, ndiye kothawirako nthawi ya masautso. Amasamalira amene amamudalira,
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
koma ndi madzi achigumula choopsa Iye adzawononga adani ake (Ninive); adzapirikitsira adani ake ku malo a mdima.
9 What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
Chiwembu chilichonse chimene akukonzekera kumuchitira Yehova adzachiwononga kotheratu; msautso sudzabweranso kachiwiri.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Iwo adzakodwa mu ziyangoyango za minga ndipo adzaledzera ndi vinyo wawo; adzatenthedwa ngati ziputu zowuma.
11 From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
Kwa iwe, Ninive, kunachokera munthu wa cholinga choyipa, wofuna kuchitira Yehova chiwembu, amene amapereka uphungu woyipa.
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.
Yehova akuti, “Ngakhale Asiriyawo ali ndi abwenzi, kaya iwowo ndi ambiri, koma adzawonongedwa ndi kutheratu. Ngakhale ndinakuzunza iwe Yuda, sindidzakuzunzanso.
13 And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.”
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.”
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, 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!
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.
