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].
Ang hula tungkol sa Ninive. Ang aklat tungkol sa pangitain ni Nahum na Elkoshita.
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].
Ang Panginoon ay mapanibughuing Dios at nanghihiganti; ang Panginoon ay nanghihiganti at puspos ng kapootan; ang Panginoon ay nanghihiganti sa kaniyang mga kaaway, at siya'y nagtataan ng kapootan sa kaniyang mga kaaway.
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.
Ang Panginoon ay banayad sa pagkagalit, at dakila sa kapangyarihan, at sa anomang paraan ay hindi aariing walang sala ang salarin: ang daan ng Panginoon ay sa ipoipo at sa bagyo, at ang mga ulap ay siyang alabok ng kaniyang mga paa.
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.
Kaniyang sinasaway ang dagat, at tinutuyo, at tinutuyo ang lahat na ilog: ang Basan ay nanlalata, at ang Carmelo; at ang bulaklak ng Libano ay nalalanta.
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.
Ang mga bundok ay nanginginig dahil sa kaniya, at ang mga burol ay nangatutunaw; at ang lupa'y lumilindol sa kaniyang harapan, oo, ang sanglibutan, at ang lahat na nagsisitahan dito.
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.
Sino ang makatatayo sa harap ng kaniyang pagkagalit? at sino ang makatatahan sa kabangisan ng kaniyang galit? ang kaniyang kapusukan ay sumisigalbong parang apoy, at ang mga malaking bato ay nangatitibag niya.
7 But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
Ang Panginoo'y mabuti, katibayan sa kaarawan ng kabagabagan; at nakikilala niya yaong nangaglalagak ng kanilang tiwala sa kaniya.
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].
Nguni't sa pamamagitan ng manggugunaw na baha ay kaniyang lubos na wawakasan ang kaniyang dako, at hahabulin ang kaniyang mga kaaway sa kadiliman.
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].
Ano ang inyong kinakatha laban sa Panginoon? siya'y gagawa ng lubos na kawakasan; ang pagdadalamhati ay hindi titindig na ikalawa.
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.
Sapagka't yamang sila'y maging gaya ng mga salasalabat na tinik, at maging napakalasing na parang manglalasing, sila'y lubos na masusupok na parang tuyong dayami.
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
May lumabas na isa sa iyo, na nagiisip ng kasamaan laban sa Panginoon, na pumapayo ng masama.
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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon: Bagaman sila'y nangasa lubos na kalakasan, at totoong marami, gayon may sila'y nangalulugmok, at daraan siya. Bagaman pinagdalamhati kita, hindi na kita pagdadalamhatiin pa.
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].”
At ngayo'y aking babaliin ang kaniyang pamatok na nasa iyo, at aking sisirain ang iyong mga paningkaw.
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!”
At ang Panginoon ay nagbigay utos tungkol sa iyo, na hindi na matatatag ang iyong pangalan: sa bahay ng iyong mga dios ay aking ihihiwalay ang larawang inanyuan at ang larawang binubo; aking gagawin ang iyong libingan; sapagka't ikaw ay hamak.
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.
Narito, nasa ibabaw ng mga bundok ang mga paa niyang nangagdadala ng mga mabuting balita, na nangaghahayag ng kapayapaan! Ipagdiwang mo ang iyong mga kapistahan, Oh Juda, tuparin mo ang iyong mga panata; sapagka't ang masama ay hindi na dadaan pa sa iyo; siya'y lubos na nahiwalay.
