Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Katonda kwe yalaga Nakkumu, Omwerukoosi okukwata ku bibambulira ebyali bijjira Nineeve.
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.
Katonda wa buggya era Mukama awalana eggwanga. Mukama awalana eggwanga era ajudde ekiruyi. Mukama yeesasuza ku balabe be era aterekera abamuwakanya obusungu bwe.
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.
Mukama tatera kusunguwala, ate nga wa maanyi mangi era tayinza n’akatono butabonereza oyo gwe gusinze. Ekkubo lye liri mu mpewo ey’akazimu ne mu kibuyaga, n’ebire ye nfuufu y’ebigere bye.
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.
Akangavvula ennyanja n’agikaza era akaza emigga gyonna, ennimiro ez’omu Basani zikala, olusozi Kalumeeri lwonna lukayuse, n’ebimuli bya Lebanooni biwotose.
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.
Ensozi zikankanira mu maaso ga Katonda, obusozi ne busaanuuka, ettaka ne lyatikayatika mu maaso ge, ensi n’ekankana n’abantu bonna abagirimu.
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.
Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso ge ng’asunguwadde? Ani ayinza okugumira obusungu bwe obw’amaanyi? Ekiruyi kye kibuubuuka ng’omuliro, n’enjazi n’eziyatikayatika.
7 Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.
9 What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
Buli kye mwekobaana okukola Mukama, alikikomya. Akabi tekalijja mulundi gwakubiri.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.
11 From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.
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.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Newaakubadde nga balina be bakolagana nabo bangi, ate nga bangi, balizikirizibwa ne baggwaawo. Newaakubadde nga mbabonereza mmwe abantu bange, siriddayo kukikola nate.
13 And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”
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.”
Kino Mukama ky’alagidde ekikwata ku Nineeve: “Erinnya lyo terikyayala nate. Ndizikiriza ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse ebiri mu masabo g’abakatonda bo; ndisima entaana yo kubanga oyinze obugwagwa.”
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!
Yimusa amaaso, tunula ku nsozi, laba, ebigere ebirungi eby’oyo aleese amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe. Ggwe Yuda kwata embaga zo entukuvu, era otuukirize obweyamo bwo; omubi kaakano takyakulumba, azikiririzibbwa ddala, tolimulaba nate.
