Elkosini Nahum anisoadehu nhoma a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Ninewe ho.
2 Yehowa nye Mawu ʋãŋu kple hlɔ̃biala. Ebiaa hlɔ̃, eye wòyɔ fũu kple dɔmedzoe. Yehowa biaa hlɔ̃ eƒe ketɔwo, eye wòléa dziku ɖi na eƒe futɔwo.
Awurade yɛ ninkufo ne aweretɔ Nyankopɔn, Awurade tɔ were, na abufuw ahyɛ no ma. Awurade tɔ nʼatamfo so were, na nʼabufuw tena wɔn so.
3 Yehowa medoa dziku kaɖikaɖi o, ŋusẽ triakɔ le esi, eye magbe tohehe na agɔdzela o. Eƒe mɔwo to ahom kple ya sẽsewo me, eye lilikpowoe nye eƒe afɔ ƒe ʋuʋudedi.
Awurade bo kyɛ fuw, na ne tumi so, na ɔtwe ɔfɔdifo aso. Ne kwan wɔ mfɛtɛ ne ahum mu, omununkum yɛ nʼanan ase mfutuma.
4 Eblu ɖe atsiaƒu ta wòmie, eye wòna tɔsisiwo me ƒu kplakplakpla. Basan kple Karmel ƒe lãnyiƒe damawo zu gbegbe, eye Lebanon ƒe ave damawo zu dzogbe.
Ɔteɛteɛ po na ɔma ɛyow; ɔma nsubɔnten nyinaa yoyow. Basan ne Karmel twintwam, na Lebanon frɔmfrɔmyɛ nso kisa.
5 Towo ʋuʋu kpekpekpe, eye togbɛwo lolõ gbanaa le eŋkume, anyigba kple edzinɔlawo katã ʋuʋu le eŋkume.
Mmepɔw wosow biribiri nʼanim na nkoko nan. Asase, wiase ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa wosow nʼanim.
6 Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe eƒe dziku nu? Ame ka ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la nu? Ekɔ eƒe dɔmedzoe ɖe anyi abe dzo ene, eye agakpewo kaka le eŋkume.
Hena na obetumi agyina nʼabufuw ano? Hena na obetumi atena nʼabufuwhyew mu? Nʼabufuw hwie te sɛ ogya; abotan yam wɔ nʼanim.
7 Yehowa nyo, elabena enye sitsoƒe le xaxa me! Eléa be na ame si xɔa edzi sena.
Awurade ye, ɔyɛ ahohia mu guankɔbea. Nʼani wɔ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to no so no so.
8 Ke atsrɔ̃ Ninive kple tɔɖɔɖɔ, eye wòanya eƒe futɔwo aɖo ɖe viviti me.
Nanso, ɔnam nsuyiri nwonwaso so bɛma Ninewe aba awiei. Ɔbɛtaa nʼatamfo akodu sum kabii mu.
9 Nugbe ɖe sia ɖe si woɖo ɖe Yehowa ŋu la, mana wòadze edzi o, ke boŋ gbegblẽ mava na wo zi evelia o.
Pɔw biara a wɔbɛbɔ atia Awurade no, ɔbɛsɛe no; ɔhaw biara remma nto so mprenu.
10 Woabla wo ɖe ŋuve me, woano woawo ŋutɔ ƒe wain amu, eye woabi abe gbe ƒuƒu ene.
Wɔde nsɔe bɛkyekyere wɔn ho, na bere a wɔn nsa abow wɔn no wɔbɛhyew wɔn sɛ nwuraguanee a wɔaboa ano.
11 O Ninive, mewòe ame si ɖo nugbe ɖe Yehowa ŋu, eye wòɖo aɖaŋu vlo na amewo la do tso.
Ninewe, wo mu na nea ɔbɔ pɔw bɔne tia Awurade na otu fo bɔne no fi.
12 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Togbɔ be wosɔ gbɔ, eye kpeɖeŋutɔwo le wo si hã la, wo katã woatsrɔ̃, eye wo nu ava ayi. O Yuda, togbɔ be mede abi ŋuwò hã la, nyemagade abi ŋuwò azɔ o.
Nea Awurade se ni: “Ɛwɔ mu sɛ wɔwɔ nnamfonom a wɔdɔɔso de, nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn ama wɔayera. Yuda, ɛwɔ mu sɛ mama ɔhaw aba wo so, nanso merenyɛ saa bio.
13 Azɔ la, maŋe kɔkuti le wò kɔ, eye matu ka wò tso bablawo me.”
Afei, mebubu konnua a ɛda wo kɔn mu na matetew nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no mu.”
14 Yehowa de se tso wò Ninive ŋuti be: “Womayɔ wò ŋkɔ ɖe dzidzime aɖeke ŋuti o. Mafli miaƒe aklamakpakpɛwo, eye magbã legba siwo mieli ɖe miaƒe mawuwo ƒe gbedoxɔ me. Maɖe yɔdo na mi, elabena mieganyo na naneke o.”
Ninewe, Awurade aka ɔhyɛ asɛm a ɛfa wo ho: “Worennya asefo a wo din bɛda wɔn so. Mɛsɛe nsɛsode a wɔasen ne ahoni a wɔagu a esisi wʼabosonnan mu no. Mesiesie wo da efisɛ woadan ayɛ atantanne.”
15 Kpɔ ɖa, dɔlawo tso towo dzi gbɔna kple nya nyui, eye wole gbeƒã ɖem ŋutifafa! O Yuda, ɖu wò ŋkekenyuiwo, eye nàxe wò adzɔgbeɖefewo. Ame vɔ̃ɖiwo magava aha wò azɔ o, elabena woatsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ.
Hwɛ mmepɔw no so, nea ɔde asɛmpa no ba no anammɔn ɔno na ɔka asomdwoesɛm! Yuda di wʼafahyɛ na di wɔ bɔhyɛ so. Nnipabɔne rentu wo so sa bio; Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.
