Nahuma 1
1 K A OLELO no Nineva. O ka Buke o ka wanana a Nahuma, no Elekosa.
This is the burden against 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 is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves 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 slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath 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 rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
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 before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
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 withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered 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 distress; He cares for those who trust 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 overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
9 Heaha ko oukou manao ku e ia Iehova? E hooki loa aku ia, aole e hiki palua mai ka popilikia.
Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a 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 they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
11 Ua puka mai ka mea mai ou mai la e manao hewa ana ia Iehova; He kakaolelo hewa,
From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of 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.
This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
13 Ano hoi, e hemo ia'u kana auamo mai ou aku la: A e moku ia'u kou mau kaula.
For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
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.
The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
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.
Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
