UNahume 1
1 Isiqalekiso ngeNiniva. Incwadi yombono kaNahume umʼElikhoshi.
Elkosini Nahum anisoadehunu nwoma a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Ninewe ho.
2 UThixo uNkulunkulu olobukhwele lophindiselayo; uThixo uyaphindisela njalo ulolaka olukhulu. UThixo uyaphindisela ezitheni zakhe lolaka lwakhe lukhulu ezitheni zakhe.
Awurade yɛ ninkunfoɔ ne aweretɔ Onyankopɔn, Awurade tɔ wedeɛ na abufuo ahyɛ no ma. Awurade tɔ nʼatamfoɔ so wedeɛ na nʼabufuo tena wɔn so.
3 UThixo uyaphuza ukuthukuthela njalo ulamandla amakhulu; uThixo kayikumyekela olecala engajeziswanga. Indlela yakhe iphakathi kwesivunguzane lesiphepho, amayezi aluthuli lwezinyawo zakhe.
Awurade bo kyɛre fu, na ne tumi so, na ɔtwe ɔfɔdifoɔ aso. Ne kwan wɔ ntwahoframa ne ahum mu, omununkum yɛ ne nan ase mfuturo.
4 Ukhuza ulwandle alomise; wenza yonke imifula itshe. IBhashani leKhameli kuyabuna lemiqhakazo yaseLebhanoni ibune.
Ɔteatea ɛpo na ɔma ɛwe; ɔma nsubɔntene nyinaa wewe. Basan ne Karmel twintwam na Lebanon frɔmfrɔmyɛ nso kusa.
5 Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka phambi kwakhe, lamaqaqa ayancibilika. Umhlaba uyagedezela ngobukhona bakhe, umhlaba labo bonke abahlala kuwo.
Mmepɔ woso biribiri nʼanim na nkokoɔ nane. Asase, ewiase ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa woso nʼanim.
6 Ngubani ongamelana lentukuthelo yakhe na? Ngubani ongalumela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo na? Ulaka lwakhe luthululeka njengomlilo; amadwala ayaqhekezeka phambi kwakhe.
Hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina nʼabufuo ano? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi atena nʼabufuhyeɛ mu? Nʼabufuo hwie te sɛ ogya; abotan yam wɔ nʼanim.
7 UThixo ulungile, uyisiphephelo ezikhathini zokuhlupheka. Uyabakhathalela abathembele kuye,
Awurade yɛ, ɔyɛ ahohia mu dwanekɔbea. Nʼani wɔ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to no so no so.
8 kodwa ngesikhukhula esikhulu uzatshabalalisa iNiniva; uzaxotshela izitha zakhe emnyameni.
Nanso, ɔnam nsuyire nwanwasoɔ so bɛma Ninewe aba awieeɛ. Ɔbɛtaa nʼatamfoɔ akɔduru esum kabii mu.
9 Loba engamacebo bani abawenza ngoThixo, uzawaqeda; ukuhlupheka akuyikubuya kabili.
Ɛpɔ biara a wɔbɛbɔ atia Awurade no, ɔbɛsɛe no; ɔhaw biara remma ne mprenu so.
10 Bazathandeleka phakathi kwameva, bedakwe liwayini labo; bazaqothulwa njengenhlanga ezomileyo.
Wɔde nkasɛɛ bɛkyekyere wɔn ho, na ɛberɛ a wɔn nsa aboro wɔn no wɔbɛhye wɔn sɛ wira dwaneeɛ a wɔaboa ano.
11 Wena Nineve, kuwe sekufike lowo oceba okubi ngoThixo, eluleke okubi.
Ao, Ninewe, wo mu na deɛ ɔbɔ ɛpɔ bɔne tia Awurade na ɔtu fo bɔne no firie.
12 Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Lanxa belababambene labo njalo bebanengi, bazaqothulwa banyamalale. Lanxa ngikuhluphile, wena Juda, kangisayikukuhlupha futhi.
Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Ɛwom sɛ wɔwɔ apamfoɔ a wɔdɔɔso deɛ, nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn ama wɔayera. Ao Yuda, ɛwom sɛ mama ɔhaw aba wo so, nanso merenyɛ saa bio.
13 Khathesi ngizakwephula ijogwe labo elisentanyeni yakho, ngiqamule lamaketane akho.”
Afei, mɛbubu kɔnnua a ɛda wo kɔn mu na matete nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no mu.”
14 UThixo usekhuphe ilizwi ngawe Nineve elithi, “Kawuyikuba lezizukulwane ezibizwa ngebizo lakho. Ngizachitha izifanekiso ezibaziweyo lezithombe ezibunjiweyo ezisethempelini labonkulunkulu bakho. Ngizalungisa ingcwaba lakho, ngoba ungcolile.”
Ninewe, Awurade aka ɔhyɛ asɛm a ɛfa wo ho: “Worennya asefoɔ a wo din bɛda wɔn so. Mɛsɛe nsɛsodeɛ a wɔasene ne ahoni a wɔaguo a ɛsisi wʼabosonnan mu no. Mɛsiesie wʼadamena ɛfiri sɛ wadane ayɛ atantanneɛ.”
15 Khangela ezintabeni le, inyawo zalowo oletha izindaba ezinhle, omemezela ukuthula! Thakazelela imikhosi yakho we Juda, ugcwalise lezifungo zakho. Ababi kabasayikukuhlasela futhi; bazachithwa ngokupheleleyo.
Hwɛ mmepɔ no so, deɛ a ɔde asɛmpa no ba no anammɔn ɔno na ɔka asomdwoesɛm! Ao, Yuda di wʼafahyɛ na di wɔ bɔhyɛ so. Nnipa bɔne rentu wo so sa bio; Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.
