Nahum 1
1 Pa inge kas ke acn Nineveh, oana ma liyeyuk in sie aruruma lal Nahum, sie mwet Elkosh.
Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 LEUM GOD El sie God loloik, El kalyaelos su lainul. El foloksak nu selos ke kasrkusrak lal.
A God zealous and avenging [is] YHWH, An avenger [is] YHWH, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] YHWH on His adversaries, And He is watching for 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!
YHWH [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And YHWH does not entirely acquit, In a windstorm and in a storm [is] His way, And a cloud [is] 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 is pushing against a sea, and dries it up, Indeed, He has made all the floods dry, Bashan and Carmel [are] languishing, Indeed, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
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.
Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And the earth [is] lifted up at His presence, And the world and all dwelling 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 stands before His indignation? And who rises up in the heat of His anger? His fury has been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
7 LEUM GOD El wo; El loango mwet lal in pacl in ongoiya; El karinganulos su nget nu sel.
Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
8 El arulana kunausla mwet lokoalok lal oana sie sronot lulap su fungla. El supwala mwet su lainul nu infulan misa.
And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues 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 we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
10 Kowos su lungse sruhi ac fah isisyak Oana kokul su pinpinla ac sroan mah pao.
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
11 Oasr sie mwet su tuku liki kom, Nineveh, sesseslana ke pwapa sulal elan oru lain LEUM GOD.
From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
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 said YHWH: “Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he has passed away. Though I afflicted you, I afflict you no longer.
13 Inge nga fah aksafyela ku lun Assyria fowos, ac wotyalik sein ma kaprikowosi.”
And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
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 YHWH has commanded concerning you, “No more of your name spreads abroad, I cut off carved and molten image from the house of your gods, I appoint your grave, for you have been vile.”
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, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, your festivals, complete your vows, For the worthless no longer pass over into you, He has been completely cut off!
