Nahum 1
1 oracle Nineveh scroll: book vision Nahum [the] Elkoshite
Men mesaj Bondye te bay sou lavil Niniv. Men liv ki rapòte vizyon Nawoum, moun lavil Elkòch, te fè a.
2 God jealous and to avenge LORD to avenge LORD and master: [master of] rage to avenge LORD to/for enemy his and to keep he/she/it to/for enemy 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 LORD slow face: anger (and great: large *Q(K)*) strength and to clear not to clear LORD in/on/with whirlwind and in/on/with storm way: journey his and cloud dust foot 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 to rebuke in/on/with sea and to wither him and all [the] river to dry to weaken Bashan and Carmel and flower Lebanon to weaken
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 mountain: mount to shake from him and [the] hill to melt and to lift: raise [the] land: country/planet from face: before his and world and all to dwell in/on/with her
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 to/for face: before indignation his who? to stand: stand and who? to arise: rise in/on/with burning anger face: anger his rage his to pour like/as fire and [the] rock to tear 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 pleasant LORD to/for security in/on/with day distress and to know to seek refuge in/on/with 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 in/on/with flood to pass consumption to make place her and enemy his to 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 what? to devise: devise [emph?] to(wards) LORD consumption he/she/it to make not to arise: rise beat distress
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 till thorn to interweave and like/as liquor their to imbibe to eat like/as 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 to come out: come to devise: devise upon LORD distress: evil to advise Belial: worthless
Yon nonm soti lavil Niniv. Li gen yon bann move lide nan tèt li, l'ap fè konplo sou do Seyè a.
12 thus to say LORD if complete and so many and so to shear and to pass and to afflict you not to afflict you still
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 to break yoke his from upon you and bond your to tear
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 to command upon you LORD not to sow from name your still from house: temple God your to cut: eliminate idol and liquid to set: make grave your for to lighten
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 behold upon [the] mountain: mount foot to bear tidings to hear: proclaim peace to celebrate Judah feast your to complete vow your for not to add: again still (to/for to pass *Q(k)*) in/on/with you Belial: worthless all his to cut: eliminate
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.
