Nahoma 1
1 Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Ninive, dia ny bokin’ ny fahitan’ i Nahoma Elkosita.
Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Andriamanitra saro-piaro sy mamaly heloka Jehovah; Jehovah dia Mpamaly heloka sady be fahatezerana; Jehovah dia Mpamaly ny rafilahiny Ary mitahiry fahatezerana hamelezany ny fahavalony.
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 Mahari-po Jehovah sady be hery Ary tsy mety manamarina ny meloka; Amin’ ny tadio sy ny tafio-drivotra no lalan’ i Jehovah. Ary rahona no vovoky ny tongony.
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 Miteny mafy ny ranomasina izy ka mahatankina azy Ary mandritra ny ony rehetra; Malazo Basana sy Karmela. Ary malazo koa ny vonin’ i Libanona.
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 Mihorohoro eo anatrehany ny tendrombohitra, Sady miempo ny havoana, Ary mientanentana eo anatrehany ny tany, Dia ny tany onenana sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.
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 Iza no mahatoetra eo anoloan’ ny fahavinirany? Ary iza no mahatanty ny firehitry ny fahatezerany? Aidina toy ny afo ny fahatezerany, Ary mirodana eo anoloany ny vatolampy.
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 Tsara Jehovah, fiarovana mafy amin’ ny andro fahoriana, Ka mahalala izay mialoka aminy.
Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
8 Fa amin’ ny riaka manafotra no anafoanany ny fitoerany, Ary ny fahavalony dia henjehiny ho any amin’ ny maizina.
And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
9 Inona no heverinareo ho enti-manohitra an’ i Jehovah? Fahafonganana no hataony, Tsy hiverina fanindroany ny fahoriana.
What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
10 Fa na dia miforiporitra toy ny tsilo aza ireny Sady vonton’ ny divay mahery fibobohany, Dia ho levona tokoa toy ny vodivary maina izy.
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
11 Avy tao aminao no nivoahan’ ny anankiray izay misain-dratsy ho enti-manohitra an’ i Jehovah Sady mamoron-kevi-dratsy.
From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
12 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Na dia tsy latsaka isa ka mbola maro aza ireny, Dia hofongorana ihany izy ka ho levona Fa efa nampahory anao Aho, Ka tsy hampahory anao intsony.
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 Fa ankehitriny hotapahiko ny ziogany ho afaka aminao, Ary hotosako ny famatorana anao.
And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
14 Ary Jehovah efa nandidy ny aminao hoe: Tsy ho velo-maso intsony ny anaranao; Hataoko tapaka tsy ho ao an-tranon’ ny andriamanitrao ny sarin-javatra voasokitra sy ny sarin-javatra an-idina; Hanao ny fasana ho anjaranao Aho, satria hita fa latsa-danja ianao.
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 Injany! any an-tendrombohitra ny tongotry ny mitondra teny soa mahafaly Sady mitory fiadanana! Tandremo ny andro firavoravoanao, ry Joda, Efao ny voadinao; Fa tsy handeha hamaky eo aminao intsony ilay tena ratsy fanahy, Indray ripaka izy rehetra.
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!
