< Nahum 1 >

1 The birthun of Nynyue; the book of visioun of Naum Helcesei.
Pwofesi pou Ninive. Liv vizyon a Nahum nan, Elkochit la.
2 The Lord is a punyschere, and the Lord is vengynge; the Lord is venginge, and hauynge strong veniaunce; the Lord is vengynge ayens hise aduersaries, and he is wraththing to hise enemyes.
Yon Dye jalou k ap fè vanjans se SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a plen chalè kòlè ak vanjans. SENYÈ a ap pran vanjans Li sou sa yo ki kont Li yo. Sou lènmi Li yo, li konsève chalè kòlè Li.
3 The Lord is pacient, and greet in strengthe, and he clensynge schal not make innocent. The Lord cometh in tempest, and the weies of hym ben in whirlwynd, and cloudis ben the dust of hise feet;
SENYÈ a lan nan kòlè, e Li plen pwisans. Konsa, li byen si ke SENYÈ a p ap kite koupab la san pinisyon. Mwayen Li se nan toubiyon ak tanpèt, e nwaj yo se pousyè anba pye Li.
4 he blameth the see, and drieth it, and bryngith alle flodis to desert. Basan is maad sijk, and Carmel, and the flour of Liban langwischide.
Li Repwoche lanmè a, e fè l vin sèch. Li fè larivyè yo vin sèch. Basan ak Carmel seche; flè a Liban yo vin fennen.
5 Mounteyns ben mouyd togidere of hym, and litil hillis ben desolat. And erthe tremblide togidere fro the face of him, and the roundenesse of erthe, and alle dwellynge ther ynne.
Mòn yo tranble akoz Li, e kolin yo vin fann nèt. Anverite latè a boulvèse pa prezans Li, lemonn ak tout sa ki rete ladann.
6 Who schal stonde bifore the face of his indignacioun? and who schal ayenstonde in the wraththe of his stronge veniaunce? His indignacioun is sched out as fier, and stoonys ben brokun of hym.
Se kilès ki ka kanpe devan gwo kòlè Li? Kilès ki ka sipòte chalè kòlè Li? Se tankou dife kòlè Li vide; Li menm ki fè wòch yo kraze an mòso.
7 The Lord is good, and coumfortynge in the dai of tribulacioun, and knowynge hem that hopen in hym.
SENYÈ a bon; se yon sitadèl nan jou malè. Epi Li konnen sila ki pran refij nan li yo.
8 And in greet flood passynge forth, he schal make ende of his place; and derknessis schulen pursue hise enemyes.
Men tankou yon inondasyon ki debòde nèt, li va fè vil Ninive disparèt nèt, e kouri dèyè lènmi Li yo jis rive nan fènwa.
9 What thenken ye ayens the Lord? He schal make ende; double tribulacioun schal not rise togidere.
Nenpòt panse nou konn fè kont SENYÈ a, li va mete fen a sa nèt. Gwo twoub sa a p ap parèt de fwa.
10 For as thornes byclippen hem togidere, so the feeste of hem drynkynge togidere schal be wastyd, as stobul ful of drienesse.
Kon bwa pikan mele mare, kon sila ki sou ak bwason yo, yo va vin konsonmen nèt kon pay ki fennen nèt.
11 Of thee schal go out a man thenkynge malice ayens the Lord, and trete trespassyng in soule.
Nan ou, te sòti yon moun ki te fè move konplo kont SENYÈ a, yon konseye mechan.
12 The Lord seith these thingis, If thei schulen be parfit, and so manye, and thus thei shulen be clippid, and it schal passe bi. I turmentide thee, and Y schal no more turmente thee.
Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Byenke yo plen fòs, e yo gen anpil moun; malgre sa, yo va vin koupe retire e disparèt. Byenke Mwen te aflije ou, Mwen p ap aflije ou ankò.
13 And now Y schal al to-breke the yerde of hym fro thi bak, and Y schal breke thi bondis.
Pou sa, koulye a, Mwen va kraze retire jouk li ki mare sou ou a, e mwen va eklate chèn ou yo.”
14 And the Lord schal comaunde on thee, it schal no more be sowun of thi name. Of the hous of thi god Y schal sle; Y schal putte thi sepulcre a `grauun ymage, and wellid togidere, for thou art vnworschipid.
SENYÈ a fin pase lòd konsènan ou menm: “P ap gen desandan ki pou pote non ou ankò. Mwen va koupe retire zidòl ak imaj soti lakay dye ou yo. M ap prepare yon kote antèman pou ou; paske ou vin abominab.”
15 Lo! on hillis the feet of the euangelisynge and tellynge pees. Juda, halewe thou thi feeste daies, and yelde thi vowis, for whi Belial schal no more put to, that he passe forth in thee; al Belial perischide.
Gade byen, sou mòn yo, pye a li ki pote bòn nouvèl, ki anonse lapè yo! Fè fèt nou, O Juda! Akonpli ve nou yo. Paske sa p ap janm rive ankò pou mechan sila an vin pase nan mitan nou. Li fin koupe retire nèt.
