Nahum 1
1 The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
Lisakoli na tina na engumba Ninive. Buku ya emoniseli ya Naumi, moto ya engumba Elikoshi.
2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
Yawe azali Nzambe oyo atonda na zuwa, oyo azongisaka mabe na mabe. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpe atombokaka makasi. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na Ye, akangelaka bayini na Ye kanda makasi.
3 Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Yawe asilikaka noki te, mpe nguya na Ye ezali monene. Yawe atikaka te moto oyo asali mabe lokola nde asali na ye mabe te, kasi apesaka etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe. Yawe apasolaka nzela na Ye kati na ekumbaki, kati na mopepe makasi.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
Agangelaka ebale monene mpe akawusaka yango, akawusaka bibale nyonso. Etuka ya Bashani mpe ya Karimeli esili nyonso kokawuka, mpe matiti nyonso ya Libani esili kokawuka.
5 The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
Bangomba milayi eninganaka liboso na Ye, mpe bangomba mikuse epanzanaka. Mabele, mokili mpe bavandi na yango balengaka liboso na Ye.
6 Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
Nani akoki solo kotelema liboso na Ye soki asiliki? Nani akoki solo kobika soki kanda na Ye epeli? Mpo ete kanda na Ye epanzanaka lokola moto, bongo mabanga ebukanaka liboso na Ye.
7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
Yawe azali malamu, azali ebombamelo ya solo na tango ya pasi mpe abatelaka bato nyonso oyo batiaka elikya na Ye.
8 But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
Akobebisa engumba na Ye nyonso na mpela mpe akobengana banguna na Ye kino kati na molili.
9 What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
Likita ya ndenge nini bakoki kosalela Yawe? Azali Ye oyo asilisaka makambo nyonso; pasi ekoya lisusu te.
10 For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
Bakokoma lokola bato oyo bazali kati na banzube, lokola bato oyo balangwe masanga ya vino; bakozikisama nye lokola matiti ya kokawuka.
11 Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
Ezali kati na yo Ninive nde moto oyo azali na mabongisi mabe mpo na kotelemela Yawe mpe azali na batoli ya mabe abimi.
12 This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ata banguna na bino bazali ebele mpe makasi, bakosila kokufa mpe kolimwa. Oh mokili ya Yuda, soki nasambwisaki yo, nakosala yango lisusu te.
13 Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
Nakobuka ekangiseli na bango, oyo ezali na kingo na yo mpe nakolongola yo na minyololo. »
14 Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
Kasi Yawe azwi mokano oyo mpo na yo: « Okotikala kozwa lisusu bakitani te oyo bakobatela kombo na yo na bokonzi. Nakolongola kati na tempelo na yo banzambe na yo ya bikeko mpe bikeko nyonso oyo basala na bibende balekisa na moto. Nazali kobongisela yo kunda, pamba te ozali na yo pamba. »
15 Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
Botala kuna na bangomba makolo ya momemi sango malamu: amemi sango ya kimia! Oh mokili ya Yuda, sepela na bafeti na yo mpe kokisa ndayi na yo; pamba te wuta sik’oyo, moto mabe moko te akokota lisusu epai na yo; pamba te bango nyonso bakobebisama nye.
