Nahum 1
1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Nineve. Ti Libro ti Sirmata ni Nahum, nga Elkoshita.
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
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.
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 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.
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 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 rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
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 before him, and the hills melt, and the earth is upheaved at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
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 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 Naimbag ni Yahweh, maysa a sarikedked iti aldaw ti riribuk; ken napudno isuna kadagiti agkamang kenkuana.
Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in 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 a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue 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 imagine against Jehovah? He will make a full end: trouble shall not rise up the second time.
10 Ta agpipinnutipotdanto a kas kadagiti sisiit; mabartekdanto kadagiti inumenda; makisapdanto a naan-anay babaen iti apuy a kas iti namaga a garami.
Though they be tangled together [as] thorns, and be as drenched from their drink, they shall be devoured as dry stubble, completely.
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 is gone forth one that imagineth evil against Jehovah, a wicked counsellor.
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 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 Ita, tukkolek dayta a sangol dagiti tattao manipud kenka; pugsatek dagiti kawarmo.”
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder.
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 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 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 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.
