Nahum 1
1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Nineve. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ibuku rĩa kĩoneki kĩa Nahumu, ũrĩa Mũelikoshi.
2 Jehovah is a jealous God and avenges. Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
Jehova nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩ ũiru na mwĩrĩhĩria; Jehova nĩerĩhagĩria na akaiyũrwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ. Jehova nĩerĩhagĩria harĩ thũ ciake, na agatũũria mangʼũrĩ make harĩ amuku ake.
3 Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Jehovah has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Jehova ndahiũhaga kũrakara na nĩarĩ hinya mũnene; Jehova ndakaaga kũherithia mũndũ mwaganu. Njĩra yake ĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa rũhuho rũnene na thĩinĩ wa kĩhuhũkanio, matu namo nĩ rũkũngũ rwa makinya make.
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.
Akũũmaga iria, agatũma rĩhũe; ahũithagia njũũĩ ciothe. Bashani na Karimeli nĩkũhoohete, na kĩro kĩa Lebanoni gĩkaragatha.
5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
Irĩma ithingithaga mbere yake, natuo tũrĩma tũgatweka. Thĩ ĩinainaga ĩrĩ mbere yake, o na mabũrũri mothe makainaina, na arĩa othe matũũraga kuo.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
Nũũ ũngĩĩtiiria mathirĩ make? Nũũ ũngĩkĩũmĩrĩria marakara make mahiũ? Mangʼũrĩ make-rĩ, maitĩkaga ta mwaki; ndwaro cia mahiga igathethereka mbere yake.
7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Jehova nĩ mwega, nĩ kĩĩhitho hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna. Arĩa mamwĩhokete-rĩ, nĩamamenyagĩrĩra,
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
no rĩrĩ, nĩakaniina Nineve na kĩguũ kĩnene kĩa maaĩ; nĩakaingata thũ ciake nginya nduma-inĩ.
9 What do you plot against Jehovah? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
Ũrĩa wothe magaaciirĩra gwĩka Jehova-rĩ, we nĩakaũniina; o na thĩĩna ndũgooka hĩndĩ ya keerĩ.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
Makaarigiicwo mĩigua-inĩ na marĩĩo nĩ ndibei yao; nao magaacinwo ta maragara momũ.
11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against Jehovah, who counsels wickedness.
Nĩ harĩ ũmwe wĩyumĩrĩtie thĩinĩ waku wee Nineve, ũrĩa ũthugundaga ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova, na akaheanaga irĩra cia waganu.
12 Thus says Jehovah: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “O na aakorwo marĩ na arata, na nĩ aingĩ mũno-rĩ, nĩmakaniinwo, meherio. O na aakorwo nĩngũnyariirĩte, wee Juda-rĩ, ndigacooka gũkũnyariira rĩngĩ.
13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
Na rĩrĩ, nĩnguunanga icooki rĩao riume ngingo-inĩ yaku, na nduange mĩnyororo ĩrĩa woheetwo nayo.”
14 Jehovah has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
Jehova nĩarutĩte watho ũgũkoniĩ, wee Nineve, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ndũkagĩa na njiaro cia gũtũũria rĩĩtwa rĩaku. Nĩngananga mĩhianano ĩyo mĩicũhie o na ĩyo ya gũtwekio ĩrĩa ĩrĩ kũu hekarũ ya ngai ciaku. Nĩngũhaarĩria mbĩrĩra yaku, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩ kĩndũ kĩũru biũ.”
15 Look, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace. Keep your feasts, Judah. Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
Ta cũthĩrĩriai kũũrĩa irĩma-igũrũ, muone magũrũ ma mũndũ ũrĩa ũrarehe ũhoro mwega, ũrĩa wanagĩrĩra thayũ! Wee Juda-rĩ, kũngũĩra ciathĩ ciaku, na ũhingie mĩĩhĩtwa yaku. Andũ aaganu matigagũtharĩkĩra rĩngĩ, nĩgũkorwo nĩmakaniinwo biũ.
