Naumi 1
1 Lisakoli na tina na engumba Ninive. Buku ya emoniseli ya Naumi, moto ya engumba Elikoshi.
An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Yawe azali Nzambe oyo atonda na zuwa, oyo azongisaka mabe na mabe. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpe atombokaka makasi. Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na Ye, akangelaka bayini na Ye kanda makasi.
The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
3 Yawe asilikaka noki te, mpe nguya na Ye ezali monene. Yawe atikaka te moto oyo asali mabe lokola nde asali na ye mabe te, kasi apesaka etumbu na moto oyo asali mabe. Yawe apasolaka nzela na Ye kati na ekumbaki, kati na mopepe makasi.
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Agangelaka ebale monene mpe akawusaka yango, akawusaka bibale nyonso. Etuka ya Bashani mpe ya Karimeli esili nyonso kokawuka, mpe matiti nyonso ya Libani esili kokawuka.
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 Bangomba milayi eninganaka liboso na Ye, mpe bangomba mikuse epanzanaka. Mabele, mokili mpe bavandi na yango balengaka liboso na Ye.
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
6 Nani akoki solo kotelema liboso na Ye soki asiliki? Nani akoki solo kobika soki kanda na Ye epeli? Mpo ete kanda na Ye epanzanaka lokola moto, bongo mabanga ebukanaka liboso na Ye.
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Yawe azali malamu, azali ebombamelo ya solo na tango ya pasi mpe abatelaka bato nyonso oyo batiaka elikya na Ye.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 Akobebisa engumba na Ye nyonso na mpela mpe akobengana banguna na Ye kino kati na molili.
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 Likita ya ndenge nini bakoki kosalela Yawe? Azali Ye oyo asilisaka makambo nyonso; pasi ekoya lisusu te.
What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
10 Bakokoma lokola bato oyo bazali kati na banzube, lokola bato oyo balangwe masanga ya vino; bakozikisama nye lokola matiti ya kokawuka.
For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11 Ezali kati na yo Ninive nde moto oyo azali na mabongisi mabe mpo na kotelemela Yawe mpe azali na batoli ya mabe abimi.
There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ata banguna na bino bazali ebele mpe makasi, bakosila kokufa mpe kolimwa. Oh mokili ya Yuda, soki nasambwisaki yo, nakosala yango lisusu te.
Thus says the LORD: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Nakobuka ekangiseli na bango, oyo ezali na kingo na yo mpe nakolongola yo na minyololo. »
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
14 Kasi Yawe azwi mokano oyo mpo na yo: « Okotikala kozwa lisusu bakitani te oyo bakobatela kombo na yo na bokonzi. Nakolongola kati na tempelo na yo banzambe na yo ya bikeko mpe bikeko nyonso oyo basala na bibende balekisa na moto. Nazali kobongisela yo kunda, pamba te ozali na yo pamba. »
The LORD has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
15 Botala kuna na bangomba makolo ya momemi sango malamu: amemi sango ya kimia! Oh mokili ya Yuda, sepela na bafeti na yo mpe kokisa ndayi na yo; pamba te wuta sik’oyo, moto mabe moko te akokota lisusu epai na yo; pamba te bango nyonso bakobebisama nye.
Look, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace. Keep your feasts, Judah. Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
