Nahum 1
1 Burden of 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 A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is] Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching 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 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is] His way, And a cloud [is] 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 is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
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 Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
Bangomba milayi eninganaka liboso na Ye, mpe bangomba mikuse epanzanaka. Mabele, mokili mpe bavandi na yango balengaka liboso na Ye.
6 Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken 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 Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.
Yawe azali malamu, azali ebombamelo ya solo na tango ya pasi mpe abatelaka bato nyonso oyo batiaka elikya na Ye.
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.
Akobebisa engumba na Ye nyonso na mpela mpe akobengana banguna na Ye kino kati na molili.
9 What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.
Likita ya ndenge nini bakoki kosalela Yawe? Azali Ye oyo asilisaka makambo nyonso; pasi ekoya lisusu te.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Bakokoma lokola bato oyo bazali kati na banzube, lokola bato oyo balangwe masanga ya vino; bakozikisama nye lokola matiti ya kokawuka.
11 From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.
Ezali kati na yo Ninive nde moto oyo azali na mabongisi mabe mpo na kotelemela Yawe mpe azali na batoli ya mabe abimi.
12 Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee 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 And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.
Nakobuka ekangiseli na bango, oyo ezali na kingo na yo mpe nakolongola yo na minyololo. »
14 And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, 'No more of thy name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast been vile.
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 Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been 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.
