Nahum 1
1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Amụma banyere obodo Ninive. Akwụkwọ ọhụ Nehum, onye obodo Elkosh.
2 YHWH is a jealous God and avenges. YHWH avenges and is full of wrath. YHWH takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
Onyenwe anyị bụ onye ekworo, bụrụkwa Chineke na-abọ ọbọ. Onyenwe anyị na-aga ịbọ ọbọ, ọnụma jukwara ya obi. Onyenwe anyị na-abọ ọbọ nʼahụ ndị iro ya, oke ọnụma ya na-adịgidekwa megide ndị iro ya.
3 YHWH is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. YHWH has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Onyenwe anyị adịghị ewe iwe ọsịịsọ; ma ọ bụ onye ike ya dị ukwuu, Onyenwe anyị agaghị ahapụ onye ikpe mara ka ọ laa na-enweghị ntaramahụhụ. Ụzọ ya dị nʼoke ikuku, na nʼoke ifufe, igwe ojii bụ uzuzu nke ụkwụ ya.
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.
Ọ na-abasiri oke osimiri mba ike, mee ka ọ taa, o mekwaala ka osimiri niile takọrọ. Bashan na Kamel na-akpọnwụ, otu a kwa, nʼosisi ndụ jupụtara Lebanọn na-achanwụsị.
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.
Nʼihu ya, ugwu niile na-eme mkpọtụ, ugwu nta niile na-agbazekwa, elu ụwa niile na-amakwa jijiji nʼihu ya, ọ bụladị ụwa dum, na ndị niile bi nʼime ya.
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.
Onye ga-eguzogide oke iwe ya? Ọ bụkwa onye ga-eguzosi ike nʼiwe ya dị ọkụ? A wụpụla ọnụma ya dịka ọkụ, e tipịasịala nkume niile ndị ahụ nʼihu ya.
7 YHWH is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Onyenwe anyị dị mma. Ọ bụ ebe mgbaba nʼụbọchị nsogbu. Ọ na-elekọta ndị niile na-atụkwasị ya obi,
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
ma ọ ga-eji idee mmiri dị ukwuu gbuo ndị iro ya niile, ọ ga-achụba ndị iro ya nʼọchịchịrị.
9 What do you plot against YHWH? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
Kedụ izu ọjọọ unu na-agba megide Onyenwe anyị ọ ga-eweta ihe niile nʼisi njedebe; nsogbu agaghị abịakwa nke ugboro abụọ.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
Ha ga-abụ ndị a tụhịkọtara nʼetiti ogwu, ndị mmanya ha ṅụbigara oke na-egbu, ha ga-ala nʼiyi dịka ahịhịa kpọrọ nkụ.
11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against YHWH, who counsels wickedness.
Ọ bụ nʼime gị, Ninive, ka otu onye si pụta, bụ onye ahụ gbara izu ọjọọ megide Onyenwe anyị, na-echepụtakwa ajọ atụmatụ.
12 Thus says YHWH: "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.
Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Ọ bụ ezie na ha siri ike, ma bakwaa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, ha ga-abụ ndị a ga-egbutu na ndị ga-agabiga. Ọ bụ ezie na m ataala gị bụ Juda ahụhụ, ma agaghị m atakwa gị ahụhụ ọzọ.
13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
Ugbu a, aga m agbajipụ agbụ yoku ọ nyanyere unu nʼolu, tibikwaa ụdọ igwe e jiri kegide unu.”
14 YHWH 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."
Onyenwe anyị enyela iwu ya banyere gị, Ninive: “Ị gaghị enwekwa ụmụ ụmụ ndị ga-aza aha gị. Aga m ala arụsị unu niile a pịrị apị na ndị a kpụrụ akpụ nʼiyi, bụ arụsị ndị ahụ dị nʼụlọnsọ nke chi unu niile. Aga m akwadokwa ili gị, nʼihi na ị bụrụla onye jọgburu onwe ya na njọ.”
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.
Lee, nʼelu ugwu niile ka ụkwụ onye ahụ na-eweta oziọma dị, bụ onye ahụ na-ekwusa na udo ga-adị! Mee mmemme gị niile gị Juda, mezukwaa nkwa niile i kwere. Nʼihi na ndị ajọ omume agakwaghị ebuso gị agha, nʼihi na a ga-ala ha nʼiyi kpamkpam.
