Nahum 1
1 Pa inge kas ke acn Nineveh, oana ma liyeyuk in sie aruruma lal Nahum, sie mwet Elkosh.
The burden of Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
2 LEUM GOD El sie God loloik, El kalyaelos su lainul. El foloksak nu selos ke kasrkusrak lal.
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 LEUM GOD El tia sa in kasrkusrakak, Tusruktu El arulana ku, Ac pacl nukewa El kalyei mwet su oru ma koluk. Yen LEUM GOD El fahsr we, eng upa ac sikyak; Kutkut in ye nial orala pukunyeng uh!
The Lord is longsuffering, 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 El sap ku nu sin meoa, ac meoa paola! El akpaoyela pac infacl uh. Ima in acn Bashan uli, Insroan fineol Carmel srusrala, Ac ros in acn Lebanon efla.
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 nothing.
5 Eol uh kusrusr ye mutun LEUM GOD, Eol srisrik uh kofelik ye mutal. Faclu usrusryak ke pacl LEUM GOD El sikla; Faclu ac mwet nukewa fac rarrar.
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 Ke pacl El kasrkusrak, su ku in moulla? Su ku in moulla liki foloyak lal? El okoala fulen kasrkusrak lal; Eot uh mwesri nu ke kutkut ye mutal.
Who shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nothing kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
7 LEUM GOD El wo; El loango mwet lal in pacl in ongoiya; El karinganulos su nget nu sel.
The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
8 El arulana kunausla mwet lokoalok lal oana sie sronot lulap su fungla. El supwala mwet su lainul nu infulan misa.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and his enemies.
9 Mea kowos pwapa sulali sang lain LEUM GOD? El ac kunauskowosla. Wangin mwet ku in alein nu sel pacl luo.
What do you devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same time.
10 Kowos su lungse sruhi ac fah isisyak Oana kokul su pinpinla ac sroan mah pao.
For [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and as stubble fully dry.
11 Oasr sie mwet su tuku liki kom, Nineveh, sesseslana ke pwapa sulal elan oru lain LEUM GOD.
Out of you shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
12 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet Israel, mwet lal: “Mwet Assyria finne ku ac pus suna, elos ac fah kunausyukla ac wanginla. Mwet luk, nga tuh akkeokye kowos meet, tusruktu nga fah tia sifilpa oru.
Thus says the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of you shall not be heard any more.
13 Inge nga fah aksafyela ku lun Assyria fowos, ac wotyalik sein ma kaprikowosi.”
And now will I break his rod from off you, and will burst [your] bonds.
14 Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El wotela ke mwet Assyria: “Ac fah wangin tulik natulos in folokonak inen sou lalos. Nga fah kunausla ma sruloala su oan in tempul lun god lalos. Nga akoo sie kulyuk nu sin mwet Assyria — tia fal elos in moul!”
And the Lord shall give a command concerning you; there shall no more of your name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of your god, and the molten [images]: I will make your grave; for [they are] swift.
15 Liye, mwet roso se pa tuku fineol uh me ingo, ac use pweng wo! El fahsr in sulkakin ke kutangla! Mwet Judah, oru kufwa in akfulat lowos an, ac sang nu sin God ma kowos wulela ku mu kowos ac sang nu sel an. Mwet koluk fah tia sifilpa utyak mweuni acn lowos. Wutiyukla na pwaye elos!
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep your feasts, pay your vows: for they shall no more pass through you to [your] decay.
