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].
निनवेको विषयमा भएको घोषणा । एल्कोशी नहूमको दर्शनको पुस्तक ।
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].
परमप्रभु डाही परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ र उहाँले बदला लिनुहुन्छ । परमप्रभुले बदला लिनुहुन्छ र उहाँ क्रोधले भरिनुभएको छ । उहाँले आफ्ना विरोधीहरूसँग बदला लिनुहुन्छ र आफ्ना शत्रुहरूप्रति उहाँको रिस रहिरहन्छ ।
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.
परमप्रभु रिसाउनमा ढिला र शक्तिमा महान् हुनुहुन्छ । उहाँले दुष्टलाई दण्डबाट उम्कन दिनुहुन्न । परमप्रभुले भुमरी र आँधीमा आफ्नो मार्ग तयार गर्नुहुन्छ, र बादलहरू उहाँका पाउका धुलो हुन् ।
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.
उहाँले समुद्रलाई हप्काउनुहुन्छ र त्यसलाई सुक्खा बनाउनुहुन्छ । उहाँले सबै नदीहरूलाई सुकाइदिनुहुन्छ । बाशान र कर्मेल कमजोर छन् । लेबनानका फूलहरू कमजोर छन् ।
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.
पर्वतहरू उहाँको उपस्थितिमा काँप्छन्, र पहाडहरू पग्लिन्छन् । उहाँको उपस्थितिमा पृथ्वी, सारा संसार र त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने सबै मानिस नष्ट हुन्छन् ।
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.
उहाँको क्रोधको अगाडि को खडा हुन सक्छ? उहाँको क्रोधको प्रचण्डता कसले सहन सक्छ? उहाँको क्रोध आगोझैँ खन्याइन्छ, र उहाँद्धारा चट्टानहरू टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिन्छन् ।
7 But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
परमप्रभु असल हुनुहुन्छ, र कष्टको समयमा उहाँ बलियो गढ हुनुहुन्छ, र उहाँमा शरण लिनेको निम्ति उहाँ विश्वसनीय हुनुहुन्छ ।
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].
तर उहाँले महान् बाढीले आफ्ना शत्रुहरूको अन्त गर्नुहुनेछ, र उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई अन्धकारमा लानुहुनेछ ।
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].
तिमीहरूले परमप्रभुको विरुद्ध के षड्यन्त्र गर्दैछौ? उहाँले पूर्णरूपमा त्यो अन्त गर्नुहुनेछ । समस्या दोस्रो पटक आइपर्नेछैन ।
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.
किनभने तिनीहरू काँढाघारीहरूझैँ अल्झिनेछन् । तिनीहरू आफ्नै पेय पदार्थले भरपेट हुनेछन् । तिनीहरू सुकेका ठोसाहरूझैँ आगोद्धारा पूर्ण रूपमा भस्म हुनेछन् ।
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
निनवे, तिमीहरूका बिचमा कोही खडा भयो, जसले परमप्रभुको विरुद्धमा योजना बनायो, र त्यसले दुष्टतालाई बढुवा दियो ।
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.
परमप्रभु यस्तो भन्नुहुन्छ, “तिनीहरू आफ्ना पूर्ण शक्ति र पूर्ण सङ्ख्याको अवस्थामा भए तापनि तिनीहरू काटिनेछन्, र तिनीहरूका मानिसहरू बाँकी रहनेछैनन् । तर यहूदा, मैले तँलाई पीडा दिएको भए तापनि अब म तँलाई पीडा दिनेछैनँ ।
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].”
अब म मानिसहरूका जुवा भाँची तँबाट निकालिदिनेछु, तेरा बन्धनहरूलाई म तोडिदिनेछु ।”
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!”
निनवे, तेरो विषयमा परमप्रभुले एउटा आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ, “अब तेरो नाम बोक्ने कोही वंश बाँकी रहनेछैन । कलात्मक रूपमा हातले बनाइएका र फलाम गालेर बनाइएका मुर्तिहरूलाई तिमीहरूका देवताहरूका घरबाट म हटाइदिनेछु । म तेरो चिहान तयार गर्नेछु, किनकि तँ तुच्छ छस् ।”
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.
हेर, असल समाचार ल्याउनुहुने, र शान्ति घोषणा गर्नुहुनेका पाउ पर्वतहरूमा छन् । यहूदा, आफ्ना चाडहरू मनाओ, र आफ्ना प्रतिज्ञाहरू पुरा गर, किनकि दुष्टले अब तँलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछैन, त्यो पूर्णरूपमा नाश भएको छ ।
