Nahuma 1
1 K A OLELO no Nineva. O ka Buke o ka wanana a Nahuma, no Elekosa.
THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Ua lili ke Akua, a o Iehova ka mea hoopai, O Iehova ka mea hoopai, a he huhu kona; O Iehova ka mea hoopai i kona poe ku e, A oia ke malama i ka huhu no kona poe enemi.
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God, the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
3 Ua hookaulua o Iehova i ka huhu, a he nui ka mana, Aole loa ia e kala wale aku: Aia no ke ala o Iehova, iloko o ka puahiohio, a me ka ino, A o na ao ka lepo o kona mau wawae.
The LORD is long-suffering, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty; the LORD, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 Papa aku no ia i ke kai, a hoomaloo iho la ia mea, A hoomaloo iho i na muliwai a pau: Ua mae o Basana, a me Karemela; A ua mae ka pua o Lebanona.
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 Ua hoonaueia na mauna e ia, A ua hee iho la na puu; Neenee ka aina ia ia iho mai kona alo ae, A o ka honua, a me na mea a pau e noho ana iloko.
The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at His presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Owai la ka mea e ku imua o kona inaina? Owai la ka mea e ku mai i ka wela o kona huhu? Ua nininiia kona huhu me he ahi la, Ua hiolo iho na pohaku ma ona la.
Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder before Him.
7 Ua maikai o Iehova, he paku oia i ka la popilikia; A ua ike no ia i ka poe hilinai ia ia.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
8 Me ka wai nui e holo ana, a hooki loa aku ia i kona wahi, A e hahai ka pouli i kona poe enemi.
But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
9 Heaha ko oukou manao ku e ia Iehova? E hooki loa aku ia, aole e hiki palua mai ka popilikia.
What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
10 No ka mea, e like me na laau kuku, ua huipuia lakou, A ua ona lakou e like me ka poe ona, E hoopauia lakou e like me ka opala maloo loa.
For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Ua puka mai ka mea mai ou mai la e manao hewa ana ia Iehova; He kakaolelo hewa,
Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
12 Peneia i olelo mai o Iehova, Ina ua maluhia lakou, a nui hoi, A e hookiia lakou pela, a e hele ae la ia: A ua hoohaahaa aku au ia oe, aole nae au e hoohaahaa hou aku ia oe.
Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, 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 Ano hoi, e hemo ia'u kana auamo mai ou aku la: A e moku ia'u kou mau kaula.
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 A ua kauoha mai o Iehova nou, Aole e lulu hou ia kou inoa: Mailoko mai o ka hale o kou mau akua, e oki aku au i ke kii kalai, a me ke kii hoohehee: E hana iho au i kou halekupapau, no ka mea, ua hoowahawahaia oe.
And the LORD 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 make thy grave; for thou art become worthless.
15 Aia hoi, maluna o na mauua na wawae o ka mea e hai ana i ka mea maikai, E hoike ana hoi i ka malu! E Iuda, e malama i kau mau ahaaina; E hooko i kau mau hoohiki ana: No ka mea, aole e hele hou ka mea aia ma ou la, Ua oki loa ia'ku oia.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that announceth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
