< Nahum 1 >

1 [the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩkoniĩ Nineve. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ibuku rĩa kĩoneki kĩa Nahumu, ũrĩa Mũelikoshi.
2 [is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.
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 Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Q(K)*) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.
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 is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.
Akũũmaga iria, agatũma rĩhũe; ahũithagia njũũĩ ciothe. Bashani na Karimeli nĩkũhoohete, na kĩro kĩa Lebanoni gĩkaragatha.
5 Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those 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 Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.
Nũũ ũngĩĩtiiria mathirĩ make? Nũũ ũngĩkĩũmĩrĩria marakara make mahiũ? Mangʼũrĩ make-rĩ, maitĩkaga ta mwaki; ndwaro cia mahiga igathethereka mbere yake.
7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.
Jehova nĩ mwega, nĩ kĩĩhitho hĩndĩ ya thĩĩna. Arĩa mamwĩhokete-rĩ, nĩamamenyagĩrĩra,
8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.
no rĩrĩ, nĩakaniina Nineve na kĩguũ kĩnene kĩa maaĩ; nĩakaingata thũ ciake nginya nduma-inĩ.
9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.
Ũrĩa wothe magaaciirĩra gwĩka Jehova-rĩ, we nĩakaũniina; o na thĩĩna ndũgooka hĩndĩ ya keerĩ.
10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.
Makaarigiicwo mĩigua-inĩ na marĩĩo nĩ ndibei yao; nao magaacinwo ta maragara momũ.
11 From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.
Nĩ harĩ ũmwe wĩyumĩrĩtie thĩinĩ waku wee Nineve, ũrĩa ũthugundaga ũũru wa gũũkĩrĩra Jehova, na akaheanaga irĩra cia waganu.
12 Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.
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 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩnguunanga icooki rĩao riume ngingo-inĩ yaku, na nduange mĩnyororo ĩrĩa woheetwo nayo.”
14 And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.
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 There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Q(k)*) in you a worthless person all of him it will be 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.
