Nahum 1
1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ty talily i Ninevè. Ty boken’ aroñaro’ i Nakòme nte-Elkose.
2 The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
Mpamarahy t’i Andrianañahare, Mpamale fate t’Iehovà; Mpañondroke miforoforo t’Iehovà; Mpañava-kabò amo rafelahi’eo t’Iehovà, ie mañaja haviñerañe amo malaiñe azeo.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Malaon-kaviñerañe t’Iehovà, ra’elahy ty haozara’e, fe tsy hapò’e tsy ho lafaeñe o aman-kakeoo; Iehovà: amo tangololahio o lala’eo, naho ami’ty tio-bey ao; o rahoñeo ro debom-pandia’e.
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.
Endaha’e i riakey le ampimaihe’e, ampikarakankaiñe’e o sakao; rinotsake t’i Basane naho i Karmele; miheatse ty voñen-katae’ i Libanone.
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.
Miezeñezeñe aolo’e eo o vohitseo, mitranake iaby o haboañeo, forototo ty tane toy ami’ty fiatrefa’e, ty voatse toy naho ze mpimoneñe ama’e ao.
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.
Ia ty mahafijohañe añatrefa’ o fifombo’eo? Ia ty mahatambeloñe amy fiforoforoan-kaviñera’ey? Ailiñe hoe afo ty filevelevea’e, avokovoko’e ambane iaby ze vato.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Soa t’Iehovà, fipalirañe añ’andron-kankàñe; arofoana’e iaby o miato ama’eo.
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
F’ie an-tsorotombahañe mivovò, ty hamongora’e i toe’ey, vaho ho roahe’e mb’ an-kamoromoroñañe ao o rafelahi’eo.
9 What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
Ino ze o fikililia’ areo am’ Iehovà zao? Fa harotsa’e, tsy hiongake fañindroe’e ty hekoheko.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
Fa manahake ty fivandiram-patike naho ty hamamoa’ o jikeo, ty hampangotomomoheñe iereo hoe ahe-maike.
11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
Boak’ ama’o ty niavia’ i nikitro-draha am’ Iehovày, ie mañeretse hatsivokarañe.
12 Thus says the LORD: "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.
Hoe t’Iehovà: ndra t’ie lifo-kaozarañe, naho mitozantozañe, mbe hampikorovoheñe, vaho hihelañe añe; fa ndra te nanilofeko irehe, tsy ho silofeko ka.
13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
Hapozako ama’o henaneo ty joka’e, vaho ho rafadrafateko o tali-randra’oo.
14 The LORD 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."
Fa nandily ty ama’o t’Iehovà, te tsy ho tongisañe ka ty tahina’o; le haitoako amy akiban-drahare’oy ty sare sokin-katae naho ty sare natranake; f’ie hanoako kibory, amy t’ie tsy manjofake.
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.
Hehek’ an-kaboañe ey o fandia’ i mpinday talily soaio, i mampiboele fifampilongoañey! O ry Iehodà, anò o sabadidake miavakeo, henefo o nifantà’oo; amy te tsy hiranga ama’o ka ty Beliale, fa naitoañe.
