Nahum 1
1 Jawabi game da Ninebe a littafin wahayin Nahum, mutumin Elkosh.
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Ubangiji Allah mai kishi ne, mai sakayya kuma. Ubangiji Allah mai kishi ne, mai ɗaukar fansa kuma. Ubangiji yakan ɗauki fansa a kan maƙiyansa, yakan ci gaba da fushi a kan abokan gābansa.
A jealous and avenging God is Jehovah: an avenger is Jehovah, and full of fury: Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
3 Ubangiji mai jinkirin fushi ne, mai iko duka kuma. Ubangiji ba zai bar masu zunubi babu horo ba. Hanyarsa tana cikin guguwa da kuma hadari, gizagizai kuwa su ne ƙurar ƙafafunsa.
Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and doth not at all clear [the guilty]: Jehovah, — his way is in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Yakan tsawata wa teku yă kuma busar da shi; yakan sa dukan koguna su kafe. Bashan da Karmel sun yi yaushi tohon Lebanon kuma ya koɗe.
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 Duwatsu suna rawan jiki a gabansa tuddai kuma sun narke. Duniya da dukan abin da yake cikinta suna rawan jiki a gabansa.
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt, and the earth is upheaved at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Wa zai iya tsaya wa fushinsa? Wa yake da ikon jimre wa zafin hasalarsa? Ana zuba fushinsa kamar wuta; aka kuma ragargaza duwatsu a gabansa.
Who shall stand before his indignation? and who shall abide in the fierceness of his anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
7 Ubangiji nagari ne, mafaka kuma a lokacin wahala. Yana kula da waɗanda suka dogara gare shi,
Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 amma da ambaliyar ruwa zai kawo Ninebe ga ƙarshe; zai fafari maƙiyansa zuwa cikin duhu.
But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 Dukan abin da suke ƙullawa game da Ubangiji zai kawo ga ƙarshe; wahala ba za tă sāke komowa ƙaro na biyu ba.
What do ye imagine against Jehovah? He will make a full end: trouble shall not rise up the second time.
10 Za su sarƙafe a ƙaya, za su kuma bugu da ruwan inabinsu; za a laƙume su kamar busasshiyar ciyawa.
Though they be tangled together [as] thorns, and be as drenched from their drink, they shall be devoured as dry stubble, completely.
11 Daga cikinki, ya Ninebe wani ya fito wanda ya ƙulla wa Ubangiji makirci yana ba da mugayen shawarwari.
Out of thee is gone forth one that imagineth evil against Jehovah, a wicked counsellor.
12 Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, “Ko da yake sun yi tarayya, suna kuma da yawa, za a yanke su, a kawar a su. Ko da yake na ba ki azaba, ya Yahuda, ba zan ƙara ba ki azaba ba.
Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be complete in number, and many as they be, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 Yanzu zan karya karkiyarsu daga wuyanki in kuma tsittsinke sarƙar da suka ɗaura ki.”
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder.
14 Ubangiji ya ba da umarni game da ke Ninebe, “Ba za ki sami zuriyar da za tă ci gaba da sunanki ba. Zan rurrushe siffofin da kuka sassaƙa da kuma gumakan da kuka ƙera gumakan da suke a cikin haikalin allolinku. Zan shirya kabarinki, domin ke muguwa ce.”
And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image, and the molten image: I will prepare thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Duba, can a bisa duwatsu, ga ƙafafu mai kawo labari mai daɗi, wanda yake shelar salama! Ki yi bukukkuwanki, ya Yahuda, ki kuma cika wa’adodinki. Mugaye ba za su ƙara mamaye ki ba; domin za a hallaka su ƙaƙaf.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth glad tidings, that publisheth peace! Celebrate thy feasts, Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
