< Nahum 1 >
1 A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Wach Nyasaye kuom Nineve. Kitap fweny mar Nahum ja-Elkosh.
2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
Jehova Nyasaye en Nyasaye ma janyiego kendo machulo kuor. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor kendo en gi mirima. Jehova Nyasaye chulo kuor ne joma kwede kendo kumne osiko kuom jowasike.
3 Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Jehova Nyasaye iye ok wangʼ piyo kendo en gi teko maduongʼ. Jehova Nyasaye ok nowe joketho ma ok okumo. Yore moluwo ni ei kalausi gi ahiti, bende boche polo gin buch tiende.
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
Ogolo chik to nam mi nam tuo, kendo aore duto dwono. Lege mabeyo mag Bashan gi Karmel tuo, kendo yiende mag Lebanon bende ner.
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.
Gode madongo yiengni e nyime kendo thuche leny nono. Piny tetni e nyime, piny kod ji duto madakie tetni.
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.
Ere ngʼat manyalo siro mirimbe? Koso en ngʼa manyalo siro mirimbe mager? Mirimbe mager oolo mana ka mach. Lwendni barore e nyime.
7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Jehova Nyasaye ber, Jehova Nyasaye e kar pondo e kinde mag chandruok, orito joma ogeno kuome.
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
Nineve to obiro ywero, gi ohula maduongʼ motiek chuth; obiro lawo joma kwede nyaka e mudho mandiwa.
9 What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.
Gimoro amora marach ma gichano timo ni Jehova Nyasaye obiro tieko; bende chandruok ok nobedie kendo.
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
Gibiro moko e kind kuthe kendo gibiro mer gi divai mag-gi, bende ibiro wangʼ-gi ka lum motwo.
11 One has gone out of you who devises evil against Yahweh, who counsels wickedness.
Ngʼat machano gik maricho kuom Jehova Nyasaye wuok mana kuomi, yaye Nineve, en e ngʼat mamiyo ji donjo e ketho.
12 Yahweh 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.
Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: “Kata obedo ni gingʼeny kendo gin gi joma konyogi, ibiro ngʼad kargi oko mi gilal nono. Kata obedo ni asesandi, yaye Juda, ok anachak sandi kendo.
13 Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
Koro abiro turo jok ma giketo e ngʼuti kendo abiro chodo nyororo motweyigo.”
14 Yahweh 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.”
Jehova Nyasaye osegolo chik kuomi, in Nineve, kowacho niya: “Ok inibed gi nyikwayi mabiro tingʼo nyingi. Abiro tieko nyisecheu manono mopa kaachiel gi mochwe gi lowo manie uteu mag lemo. Abiro kunyonu bur miyikoue nikech un joma timbegi richo.”
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.
Tingʼ wangʼi, ineye tiende ngʼat makelo Injili, kendo malando kwe ewi gode! Tim nyasi mar mor, yaye Juda, chopuru singruoku. Jomaricho ok nochak omonju kendo; nikech ibiro tiekgi pep.
