< Nakkumu 1 >
1 Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Katonda kwe yalaga Nakkumu, Omwerukoosi okukwata ku bibambulira ebyali bijjira Nineeve.
[the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Katonda wa buggya era Mukama awalana eggwanga. Mukama awalana eggwanga era ajudde ekiruyi. Mukama yeesasuza ku balabe be era aterekera abamuwakanya obusungu bwe.
[is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.
3 Mukama tatera kusunguwala, ate nga wa maanyi mangi era tayinza n’akatono butabonereza oyo gwe gusinze. Ekkubo lye liri mu mpewo ey’akazimu ne mu kibuyaga, n’ebire ye nfuufu y’ebigere bye.
Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Q(K)*) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.
4 Akangavvula ennyanja n’agikaza era akaza emigga gyonna, ennimiro ez’omu Basani zikala, olusozi Kalumeeri lwonna lukayuse, n’ebimuli bya Lebanooni biwotose.
[he is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.
5 Ensozi zikankanira mu maaso ga Katonda, obusozi ne busaanuuka, ettaka ne lyatikayatika mu maaso ge, ensi n’ekankana n’abantu bonna abagirimu.
Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those who] dwell in it.
6 Ani ayinza okuyimirira mu maaso ge ng’asunguwadde? Ani ayinza okugumira obusungu bwe obw’amaanyi? Ekiruyi kye kibuubuuka ng’omuliro, n’enjazi n’eziyatikayatika.
Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.
7 Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.
[is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.
8 Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.
And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.
9 Buli kye mwekobaana okukola Mukama, alikikomya. Akabi tekalijja mulundi gwakubiri.
Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.
10 Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.
For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.
11 Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.
From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.
12 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Newaakubadde nga balina be bakolagana nabo bangi, ate nga bangi, balizikirizibwa ne baggwaawo. Newaakubadde nga mbabonereza mmwe abantu bange, siriddayo kukikola nate.
Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.
13 Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”
And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.
14 Kino Mukama ky’alagidde ekikwata ku Nineeve: “Erinnya lyo terikyayala nate. Ndizikiriza ekifaananyi ekyole n’ekifaananyi ekisaanuuse ebiri mu masabo g’abakatonda bo; ndisima entaana yo kubanga oyinze obugwagwa.”
And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.
15 Yimusa amaaso, tunula ku nsozi, laba, ebigere ebirungi eby’oyo aleese amawulire amalungi, alangirira emirembe. Ggwe Yuda kwata embaga zo entukuvu, era otuukirize obweyamo bwo; omubi kaakano takyakulumba, azikiririzibbwa ddala, tolimulaba nate.
There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Q(k)*) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.
