Nahum 1
1 A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Ko e tala mamafa ki Ninive. Ko e tohi ʻoe meʻa hā mai kia Nehumi, ko e tangata ʻElikosi.
2 The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
ʻOku fuaʻa ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku totongi ʻe Sihova; ʻoku totongi ʻe Sihova, pea ʻoku houhau vela ia; ʻe totongi ʻe Sihova ki hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻoku ne fakatoe [ʻae houhau ]maʻa hono ngaahi fili.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
ʻOku tuai ʻa Sihova ki he houhau, mo lahi ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e [angahala]: ʻoku ai ʻae hāʻeleʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻahiohio, pea ʻi he afā, pea ko e ngaahi ʻao, ko e efu ia ʻo hono vaʻe.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
ʻOku ne valokiʻi ʻae tahi, pea ʻoku ne fakamōmoaʻi ia, pea ʻoku ne fakamatuʻu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē; ʻoku mae ʻa Pesani, mo Kameli, mo e kakala ʻo Lepanoni ʻoku mae.
5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ʻoku vai ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻoku vela ʻa māmani ʻi hono ʻao, ʻio, ʻa māmani mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
Ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono houhau? Pea ko hai ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻoka ne ka houhau vela? ʻoku huaʻi ʻene lili hangē ko e afi, pea ʻoku ne lī hifo ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova, ko e hūfanga mālohi ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Ka ʻi he fuʻu malofa te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa hono potu, pea ʻe tuli ʻe he poʻuli ʻa hono ngaahi fili.
9 What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.
Ko e hā ʻoku mou filioʻi kia Sihova? Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito; ʻe ʻikai toe tupu ʻae mamahi ʻo liunga ua.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
He lolotonga ʻenau fepikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻakau talatala, pea ʻi heʻenau kei kona, hangē ha kau kona, ʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e veve kuo mōmoa ʻaupito.
11 One has gone out of you who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
Kuo tupu ha tokotaha meiate koe ʻoku filioʻi kovi kia Sihova, ko e tangata ako kovi.
12 The LORD says: “Though they are in full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Neongo ʻoku longo pe mo tokolahi foki, ʻe pehē ʻae tuʻusi hifo ʻakinautolu, ʻoka ne ka laka atu. Neongo kuo u fakamamahiʻi koe, ʻe ʻikai te u toe fakamamahiʻi koe.
13 Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
He ko eni, te u maumauʻi ʻa ʻene haʻamonga meiate koe, pea motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi.”
14 The LORD has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.”
Pea kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ha fekau kiate koe, “Ke ʻoua naʻa toe tūtuuʻi ha niʻihi ʻi ho hingoa: mei he fale ʻo ho ngaahi ʻotua, te u motuhi ʻae tamapua kuo tongi, mo e tamapua kuo haka: te u keli ho tanuʻanga, he ʻoku ke kovi.”
15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
Vakai, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae vaʻe ʻo ia ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻae melino! ʻE Siuta, tauhi ki hoʻo ngaahi kātoanga mamafa, fai hoʻo ngaahi fuakava: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kei laka ʻiate koe ʻae angahala; kuo motuhi ʻaupito ia.
