Nahum 1
1 [the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Men mesaj Bondye te bay sou lavil Niniv. Men liv ki rapòte vizyon Nawoum, moun lavil Elkòch, te fè a.
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.
Seyè a, se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi epi ki konn tire revanj. Li tire revanj li. Lè l' ankòlè, se pa ti move li move. Li tire revanj li sou tout moun ki kenbe tèt avè l'. Li kenbe moun ki pa vle wè l' yo nan kè.
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.
Seyè a pa fache fasil, men se pa ti kras pouvwa li genyen. Li p'ap janm manke pa pini moun ki antò. Kote Seyè a pase, se van tanpèt, se van siklòn. Nwaj yo, se pousyè pye l' yo ap leve.
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.
Li pase lanmè a lòd: lanmè a cheche. Li cheche dlo larivyè yo. Tout pyebwa nan plenn Bazan ak sou mòn Kamèl ap deperi. Tout flè sou mòn Liban yo ap fennen.
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.
Gwo mòn yo tranble lè yo wè l'. Ti mòn yo disparèt. Tè a tranble devan l' ansanm ak tout moun ki rete sou li.
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.
Ki moun ki ka kanpe devan l' lè li ankòlè? Ki moun ki ka chape anba men l' lè li move? Kòlè Bondye tonbe sou latè tankou dife. Gwo wòch yo tounen pousyè devan li.
7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.
Men, Seyè a gen bon kè tou: Jou malè, se li ki pwoteje pèp li. Li pran swen tout moun ki vin kache anba zèl li.
8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.
Tankou yon gwo lavalas k'ap desann, l'ap kraze tout kote lavil la te bati a. L'ap pousib tout lènmi l' yo jouk li fini ak yo.
9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.
Kisa n'ap konplote konsa sou do Seyè a? L'ap detwi nou tout. Nou p'ap ka kenbe tèt avè l' yon lòt fwa ankò.
10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.
Yo tankou yon gwo raje pikan. Atout yo vèt la, yo pral boule nèt tankou yon pil zèb chèch.
11 From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.
Yon nonm soti lavil Niniv. Li gen yon bann move lide nan tèt li, l'ap fè konplo sou do Seyè a.
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.
Men sa Seyè a di pèp li a: -Moun peyi Lasiri yo te mèt anpil, yo te mèt gwonèg, y'ap mouri, y'ap disparèt. Mwen te fè nou soufri. Men, mwen p'ap fè nou sa ankò!
13 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.
Koulye a, mwen pral kraze pouvwa peyi Lasiri k'ap peze nou an. M'ap kase tout chenn yo te pran pou mare nou yo.
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.
Men lòd Seyè a bay sou moun peyi Lasiri yo: -Yo pral bliye non nou nèt. Mwen pral detwi tout ras nou. M'ap kraze tout estati zidòl nou gen nan tanp bondye nou yo, kit yo te an bwa, kit yo te an fè. M'ap pare yon tonm pou nou. Nou pa vo anyen ankò!
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.
Gade! Men yon mesaje k'ap vin sou mòn yo! L'ap pote bon nouvèl k'ap ban nou kè poze. Nou menm moun peyi Jida, nou mèt fete tout fèt nou yo! Fè ofrann nou te pwomèt Bondye yo. Mechan yo p'ap pase lakay nou ankò! Mwen detwi yo nèt.
