Nahum 1
1 [I am] Nahum, from Elkosh [village]. [This is] a message about Nineveh [city, the capital of Assyria that was given] to me in a vision [by Yahweh].
Balofede dunu (Gode Sia: Alofesu dunu) Na: ihame, ea simasia Gode Ea olelei amo ba: i. Goe sia: dedei amo da Ninefe osobo dogone fi ilima sia: sa. Na: ihame da Elegose osobo dogone fi dunu.
2 Yahweh our God (is jealous/does not want people to worship any other god). He is very angry [with those who worship other gods], and he gets revenge [DOU] [on all] those who oppose him [DOU].
Hina Gode da bagadedafa, amola E da eno dunu o liligi ea sogebi lamu hamedei ba: sa. Nowa da Ema gegesea, E da ilima se iaha. E da ougiba: le ilima dabe iaha.
3 Yahweh does not quickly become angry; but he is very powerful, and he will certainly punish [LIT] those who have done evil things [MTY]. He shows his power by sending whirlwinds and storms, and clouds are [like] [MET] the dust [stirred up by] his feet.
Hina Gode da hedolodafa hame ougisa, be E da gasa bagadedafa amola Ea da wadela: i hamosu dunuma dafawane se imunu. Hina Gode E habi ahoasea, isu maha amola mu mobi huluane da Ea emoga osa: gi dou heda: be agoai hamosa.
4 When he commands oceans and rivers to become dry, they dry up. [He causes the grass in the fields in] the Bashan [region] and [on the slopes of] Carmel [Mountain] to wither, [and causes] the flowers in Lebanon to fade.
Be Hina Gode Ea sali hano wayabo bagade amoma hale dagoma: ne sia: sea da, amo da hamu amola hano huluane hama: ya Ea sia: sea da hano huluane da hale dagoi ba: mu. Ba: isia: ne ohe fofole nasu soge gisi huluane da biogia: sa. Amola Gamele Goumia, ifa amola gisi da bioiba: le, bunumai ba: sa. Amola Lebanone sogega, mosoi falegai huluane da Ea sia: sea biogia: mu.
5 When he appears, [it is as though] the mountains shake and the hills melt; the earth quakes and [the people on] the earth tremble.
Hina Gode da mabeba: le, goumi huluane da ugugusa amola agolo daea: i agoai ba: sa. Be Hina Gode E masea, osobo da ugugumu amola dunu fi huluane da fofogomu.
6 There is no one [RHQ] who can resist him when he becomes extremely angry; there is no one [RHQ] who can survive when his anger is very hot. When he is very angry, [it is as though] his anger is like [SIM] a blazing fire, and [it is as though] mountains are shattered into pieces.
Ea ougisia da nowa da hahawane esaloma: bela: ? Amola nowa da wadela: lesima: bela: ? Hamedafa! Ea da Ea ougi amo lalu sawa: defele sogadigisa, amola igi huluane da gagoudane osobo dou agoai ba: sa.
7 But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
Hina Gode Ea hou da noga: idafa. E da bidi hamosu eso amoga Ea fi dunu gaga: sa. Nowa dunu da Ema sinidigisia, E da noga: le gagagulasa.
8 But he will get rid of his enemies; he will be to them [like] [MET] a flood that destroys everything. He will chase his enemies into the darkness [of the place where the dead are].
Ema ha lai dunu E da hano bagade gafululi fugala: i agoane ili dafawane gugunufisa. Amola bogosu hou iaha, nowa dunu da Ea hou fa: no hame bobogesea.
9 [So], it is useless [RHQ] for you [people of Nineveh] to plot against Yahweh. He will not [need to] strike you two times to destroy you; he will destroy you [by striking you only once].
Dilia da abuliba: le halale Hina Godema ilegesala: ? E da dili gugunufinisimu. Dunu da afae fawane Ema gegesea, bu gegemu da hamedeiwane ba: mu.
10 [It will be as though his enemies] are tangled in thorns, and they will stagger like people who have drunk a lot of wine. They will be burned up like [SIM] a fire completely burns up stubble/straw.
Amola dili adini nabe dunu dili da bibione gagui aya: gaga: nomei amola samaso bioi ulagisi nebe agoai ba: mu.
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
Dunu afae da Ninefe moilai bai bagadega misini, Hina Godema wadela: le hamomusa: ilegelalu.
12 But this is what Yahweh says [about you Israeli people]: “Although the people of Assyria have very many people and their army is very powerful, they will be destroyed and will disappear. [I say to my people in Judah, ] ‘have [already] punished you, but I will not punish you again.
Be Hina Gode da Ea dunu Isala: ili fi ilima agoane sia: sa, “Defea! Asilia ili da nimi bagade fi dunu, be amomane, ili da wadela: lesimu amola hamedafa ba: mu. Na dunu! Na da dili se nabalesi be Na agoane da bu hamedafa hamomu.
13 Now I will cause the [people of Assyria] to no longer control/oppress you [MET]; [it will be as though] I will tear off the shackles/chains on your [hands and feet].”
Asilia ilia dili gasa bagade ouligi galu, be waha ilia gasa da Na osa: le heda: mu amola ilia da dilima bu hame se imunu.
14 [And this is what] Yahweh also declares about you people of Nineveh: “You will not have any descendants who will continue to have your family names. And I will destroy all the statues of your gods that were carved or formed in molds. I will cause you [to be killed and] sent to your graves, because you are vile/despicable!”
Hina Gode Ea Asilia fi ilima gasa bagade hou hamomusa: ilegei dagoi. E da agoane sia: sa, “Ilia egaga fi dunu da hame fifi ahoanumu. Na da loboga hahamoi ‘gode’ nodone sia: ne gadosu diasua dialebe, amo mugulumu. Na da Asilia dunu ili dogone salimu uli momagelala. Ilia da wadela: i hou bagadedafa hamobeba: le, bu esalumu da noga: i hame.”
15 [You people of Judah, ] look! A messenger will be coming across the mountains, and he [SYN] will be bringing good news [to you]. He will be declaring [that you will now have] peace [because Assyria will have been conquered]. [So, ] celebrate your festivals, and do what you solemnly promised to do [when your enemies were threatening to attack you], because your wicked [enemies] will not invade your country again, [because] they will be completely destroyed.
Ba: ma! Dunu afae da goumi dabua gadodili aligila heda: le Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane gala olelesa manebe! E da misini, hasalasu hou da doaga: i dagoi sisia: mu. Amaiba: le Yuda dunu fi huluane! Lolo manusa: gilisima! Godema sia: ne gadolaloma, amola liligi dilia Ema imunusa: sia: i amo Ema ima. Amola wadela: i hou hamosu dunu da dilia soge ganodini bu hame golili sa: imu. Bai Gode da amo huluane dafawane gugunufinisi dagoi.
