Nahoma 1
1 Ty talily i Ninevè. Ty boken’ aroñaro’ i Nakòme nte-Elkose.
THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Mpamarahy t’i Andrianañahare, Mpamale fate t’Iehovà; Mpañondroke miforoforo t’Iehovà; Mpañava-kabò amo rafelahi’eo t’Iehovà, ie mañaja haviñerañe amo malaiñe azeo.
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God, the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
3 Malaon-kaviñerañe t’Iehovà, ra’elahy ty haozara’e, fe tsy hapò’e tsy ho lafaeñe o aman-kakeoo; Iehovà: amo tangololahio o lala’eo, naho ami’ty tio-bey ao; o rahoñeo ro debom-pandia’e.
The LORD is long-suffering, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty; the LORD, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 Endaha’e i riakey le ampimaihe’e, ampikarakankaiñe’e o sakao; rinotsake t’i Basane naho i Karmele; miheatse ty voñen-katae’ i Libanone.
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers; Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 Miezeñezeñe aolo’e eo o vohitseo, mitranake iaby o haboañeo, forototo ty tane toy ami’ty fiatrefa’e, ty voatse toy naho ze mpimoneñe ama’e ao.
The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at His presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Ia ty mahafijohañe añatrefa’ o fifombo’eo? Ia ty mahatambeloñe amy fiforoforoan-kaviñera’ey? Ailiñe hoe afo ty filevelevea’e, avokovoko’e ambane iaby ze vato.
Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder before Him.
7 Soa t’Iehovà, fipalirañe añ’andron-kankàñe; arofoana’e iaby o miato ama’eo.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
8 F’ie an-tsorotombahañe mivovò, ty hamongora’e i toe’ey, vaho ho roahe’e mb’ an-kamoromoroñañe ao o rafelahi’eo.
But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
9 Ino ze o fikililia’ areo am’ Iehovà zao? Fa harotsa’e, tsy hiongake fañindroe’e ty hekoheko.
What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
10 Fa manahake ty fivandiram-patike naho ty hamamoa’ o jikeo, ty hampangotomomoheñe iereo hoe ahe-maike.
For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Boak’ ama’o ty niavia’ i nikitro-draha am’ Iehovày, ie mañeretse hatsivokarañe.
Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
12 Hoe t’Iehovà: ndra t’ie lifo-kaozarañe, naho mitozantozañe, mbe hampikorovoheñe, vaho hihelañe añe; fa ndra te nanilofeko irehe, tsy ho silofeko ka.
Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 Hapozako ama’o henaneo ty joka’e, vaho ho rafadrafateko o tali-randra’oo.
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 Fa nandily ty ama’o t’Iehovà, te tsy ho tongisañe ka ty tahina’o; le haitoako amy akiban-drahare’oy ty sare sokin-katae naho ty sare natranake; f’ie hanoako kibory, amy t’ie tsy manjofake.
And the LORD hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown; out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art become worthless.
15 Hehek’ an-kaboañe ey o fandia’ i mpinday talily soaio, i mampiboele fifampilongoañey! O ry Iehodà, anò o sabadidake miavakeo, henefo o nifantà’oo; amy te tsy hiranga ama’o ka ty Beliale, fa naitoañe.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that announceth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
