Nakkumu 1
1 Kuno kwe kwolesebwa Katonda kwe yalaga Nakkumu, Omwerukoosi okukwata ku bibambulira ebyali bijjira Nineeve.
Uthenga wonena za Ninive. Buku la masomphenya a Nahumu wa ku Elikosi.
2 Katonda wa buggya era Mukama awalana eggwanga. Mukama awalana eggwanga era ajudde ekiruyi. Mukama yeesasuza ku balabe be era aterekera abamuwakanya obusungu bwe.
Yehova ndi Mulungu wansanje ndiponso wobwezera; Yehova amabwezera ndipo ndi waukali. Yehova amabwezera adani ake ndipo ukali wake umakhala nthawi zonse pa adani akewo.
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.
Yehova sakwiya msanga koma ndi wa mphamvu yayikulu; ndipo sadzalola kuti munthu wolakwa asalangidwe. Iye amayenda mʼkamvuluvulu ndi mʼnamondwe, ndipo mitambo ndi fumbi la ku mapazi ake.
4 Akangavvula ennyanja n’agikaza era akaza emigga gyonna, ennimiro ez’omu Basani zikala, olusozi Kalumeeri lwonna lukayuse, n’ebimuli bya Lebanooni biwotose.
Amalamulira nyanja ndipo imawuma; amawumitsa mitsinje yonse. Zomera za ku Basani ndi Karimeli zimawuma ndipo maluwa a ku Lebanoni amafota.
5 Ensozi zikankanira mu maaso ga Katonda, obusozi ne busaanuuka, ettaka ne lyatikayatika mu maaso ge, ensi n’ekankana n’abantu bonna abagirimu.
Mapiri amagwedera pamaso pake ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka. Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake, dziko lonse ndi zonse zokhala mʼmenemo.
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.
Ndani angathe kuyima pamaso pake Iye akalusa? Ndani angapirire mkwiyo wake woopsa? Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto; matanthwe akunyeka pamaso pake.
7 Mukama mulungi, kiddukiro mu kiseera eky’okulabiramu ennaku, era alabirira abo bonna abamwesiga.
Yehova ndi wabwino, ndiye kothawirako nthawi ya masautso. Amasamalira amene amamudalira,
8 Naye alisaanyaawo abalabe be mu mataba amazibu, ekizikiza kiribawondera.
koma ndi madzi achigumula choopsa Iye adzawononga adani ake (Ninive); adzapirikitsira adani ake ku malo a mdima.
9 Buli kye mwekobaana okukola Mukama, alikikomya. Akabi tekalijja mulundi gwakubiri.
Chiwembu chilichonse chimene akukonzekera kumuchitira Yehova adzachiwononga kotheratu; msautso sudzabweranso kachiwiri.
10 Kubanga baliba ng’amaggwa agakwataganye, era nga batamidde, balyoke bookebwe omuliro ng’ekisambu ekikalu.
Iwo adzakodwa mu ziyangoyango za minga ndipo adzaledzera ndi vinyo wawo; adzatenthedwa ngati ziputu zowuma.
11 Mu ggwe Nineeve muvuddemu omuntu alowooza akabi era ateesa ebibi ku Mukama.
Kwa iwe, Ninive, kunachokera munthu wa cholinga choyipa, wofuna kuchitira Yehova chiwembu, amene amapereka uphungu woyipa.
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.
Yehova akuti, “Ngakhale Asiriyawo ali ndi abwenzi, kaya iwowo ndi ambiri, koma adzawonongedwa ndi kutheratu. Ngakhale ndinakuzunza iwe Yuda, sindidzakuzunzanso.
13 Kaakano nzija kumenya ekikoligo kyabwe nkibaggyeko era n’ebibasibye nnaabikutulakutula.”
Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.”
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.”
Yehova walamulira za iwe, Ninive kuti, “Sudzakhala ndi zidzukulu zimene zidzadziwike ndi dzina lako. Ndidzawononga zifanizo zosema ndi mafano owumba amene ali mʼnyumba ya milungu yako. Ine ndidzakukumbira manda chifukwa ndiwe woyipitsitsa.”
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.
Taonani, pa phiripo, mapazi a munthu amene akubweretsa nkhani yabwino, amene akulengeza za mtendere! Inu anthu a ku Yuda, chitani madyerero anu ndipo kwaniritsani malumbiro anu. Anthu oyipa sadzakuthiraninso nkhondo; iwo adzawonongedwa kotheratu.
