Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Chirevo pamusoro peNinevhe. Bhuku rezvakaonekwa naNahumi muErikoshi.
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.
Jehovha ane godo uye ndiMwari anotsiva; Jehovha anotsiva uye azere nehasha. Jehovha anotsiva kuvavengi vake uye anochengetera vavengi vake hasha dzake.
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.
Jehovha anononoka kutsamwa uye ane simba guru; Jehovha haangasiye ane mhosva asina kurangwa. Nzira yake iri muchamupupuri nedutu, uye makore ndiwo guruva retsoka dzake.
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.
Anotuka gungwa agoriomesa; anoita kuti nzizi dzose dziome. Bhashani neKarimeri zvasvava uye kutumbuka kweRebhanoni kwapera.
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.
Makomo anodengenyeka pamberi pake uye zvikomo zvinonyungudika. Nyika inodedera pamberi pake, nyika uye navose vanogara mairi.
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.
Ndiani angadzivisa hasha dzake? Ndiani angashingirire pahasha dzake dzinotyisa? Hasha dzake dzadururwa somoto; matombo apwanyika pamberi pake.
7 Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.
Jehovha akanaka, utiziro panguva dzokutambudzika. Anochengeta avo vanovimba naye,
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.
asi namafashamu ane simba guru, achaparadza Ninevhe; achateverera vavengi vake kusvikira murima.
9 What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.
Zvose zvavakaronga pamusoro paJehovha iye achazviparadza; dambudziko haringauyi kechipiri.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Vachakorokodzwa pakati peminzwa uye vachadhakwa newaini yavo; vachaparadzwa samashanga akaoma.
11 From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.
Kubva mauri, iwe Ninevhe, pane mumwe akabuda anoronga zvakaipa pamusoro paJehovha uye anopa zano rakaipa.
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.
Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kunyange vane vabatsiri uye vakawanda, vachaurayiwa vakasazovapozve. Kunyange ndakakutambudza, iwe Judha, handichazokutambudzazve.
13 And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.
Zvino ndichavhuna joko ravo kubva pamutsipa wako uye ndichadambura ngetani dzako.”
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.
Jehovha arayira shoko pamusoro pako, iwe Ninevhe, rokuti, “Hauchazovi nezvizvarwa zvinopiwa zita rako. Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvakavezwa nezvifananidzo zvakaumbwa, zviri mutemberi yavamwari vako. Ndichachera guva rako, nokuti iwe wakaipa kwazvo.”
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!
Tarira, pamakomo apo, tsoka dzouyo anouya namashoko akanaka, anoparidza rugare! Pemberera mitambo yako, iwe Judha, uye uzadzise mhiko dzako. Vakaipa havachakurwisazve; vachaparadzwa zvachose.
