Nahum 1
1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Nineve. Ti Libro ti Sirmata ni Nahum, nga Elkoshita.
The burden of Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
2 Ni Yahweh ket managimon a Dios ken managibales; managibales ni Yahweh ken napnoan ti pungtot; managibales ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorna ken sipupungtot latta kadagiti kabusorna.
God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; the Lord avenges with wrath; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he cuts off his enemies.
3 Saan a nalaka nga agpungtot ni Yahweh ken naindaklan ti pannakabalinna, saanna a pulos nga ipakaammo nga awan basol dagiti kabusorna. Ipakpakita ni Yahweh ti wagasna babaen iti alipugpog ken iti bagyo, ket dagiti ulep ti tapok dagiti sakana.
The Lord is long-suffering, and his power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: his way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Tubngarenna ti baybay ken pagmagaenna daytoy; paatiananna dagiti amin a karayan. Nakapuy ti Basan ken kasta met ti Carmel; dagiti sabong ti Libano ket aglaylay.
He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing [trees] of Libanus have come to nought.
5 Agkintayeg dagiti bantay iti presensiana, ken marunaw dagiti turturod; margaay ti daga iti presensiana, pudno, ti lubong ken dagiti amin tattao nga agnanaed iti daytoy.
The mountains quake at him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at his presence, [even] the world, and all that dwell in it.
6 Siasino ti makabael a sumango iti pungtotna? Siasino ti makalapped iti kinarungsot ti ungetna? Naibukbok ti pungtotna a maiyarig iti apuy ken naburak dagiti bato gapu kenkuana.
Who shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nought kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
7 Naimbag ni Yahweh, maysa a sarikedked iti aldaw ti riribuk; ken napudno isuna kadagiti agkamang kenkuana.
The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
8 Ngem gibusannanto a naan-nay dagiti kabusorna babaen iti napigsa a layus; kamatennanto ida iti kasipngetan.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and his enemies.
9 Dakayo a tattao, ania ti pangpanggepenyo a maibusor kenni Yahweh? Gibusannanto a naan-anay daytoy; saanto a rumsua ti riribuk iti maikadua a daras.
What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same time.
10 Ta agpipinnutipotdanto a kas kadagiti sisiit; mabartekdanto kadagiti inumenda; makisapdanto a naan-anay babaen iti apuy a kas iti namaga a garami.
For [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and as stubble fully dry.
11 Maysa a tao ti bimmangon kenka, O Ninive, a nagpanggep iti dakes maibusor kenni Yahweh, maysa a nangiyam-ammo iti kinadakes.
Out of thee shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
12 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Uray no addaanda iti naan-anay a pigsa ken bilang, maputeddanto met laeng; awanton dagiti tattaoda. Ngem sika, O Juda: Uray no pinagsagabaka, saankanton a pagsagabaen.
Thus saith the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of thee shall not be heard any more.
13 Ita, tukkolek dayta a sangol dagiti tattao manipud kenka; pugsatek dagiti kawarmo.”
And now will I break his rod from off thee, and will burst [thy] bonds.
14 Ket nangted ni Yahweh iti bilin maipanggep kenka, O Nineve: “Awanton ti kaputotan a mangawit iti naganmo. Ikkatekto dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan ken ti ladawan a nasukog iti landok manipud kadagiti balay dagiti diosmo. kaliekto dagiti tanemmo, gapu ta nadangkeska.”
And the Lord shall give a command concerning thee; there shall no more of thy name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of thy god, and the molten [images]: I will make thy grave; for [they are] swift.
15 Kumitaka, kadagiti tapaw dagiti bantay, adda dagiti saka ti maysa a tao a mangmangyeg iti naimbag a damag, a mangiwarwaragawag iti kappia! Rambakam dagiti fiestam, O Juda, ken tungpalem dagiti sapatam, gapu ta saannakanton a rauten ti nadangkes; naikisap isuna a naan-anay.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep thy feasts, pay thy vows: for they shall no more pass through thee to [thy] decay.
