Naahoom 1
1 Raajii waaʼee Nanawwee dubbatame. Kitaaba mulʼata Naahoom Elqooshicha.
Isiqalekiso ngeNiniva. Incwadi yombono kaNahume umʼElikhoshi.
2 Waaqayyo Waaqa hinaafuu fi Waaqa haaloo baʼuu dha; Waaqayyo haaloo ni baʼa; dheekkamsaanis guutameera. Waaqayyo diinota isaa haaloo ni baʼa; dheekkamsa isaas amajaajota isaatiif ni kuusa.
UThixo uNkulunkulu olobukhwele lophindiselayo; uThixo uyaphindisela njalo ulolaka olukhulu. UThixo uyaphindisela ezitheni zakhe lolaka lwakhe lukhulu ezitheni zakhe.
3 Waaqayyo dheekkamuuf hin jarjaru; humni isaa immoo guddaa dha; Waaqayyo nama balleessaa qabu utuu hin adabin hin dhiisu. Bubbee hamaa fi dhaʼaa galaanaa keessaas karaa qaba; duumessi immoo awwaara miilla isaa ti.
UThixo uyaphuza ukuthukuthela njalo ulamandla amakhulu; uThixo kayikumyekela olecala engajeziswanga. Indlela yakhe iphakathi kwesivunguzane lesiphepho, amayezi aluthuli lwezinyawo zakhe.
4 Inni galaanatti dheekkamee gogsa; akka lagni hundinuu gogu godha. Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos ni coollagu; daraaraa Libaanoonis ni harcaʼa.
Ukhuza ulwandle alomise; wenza yonke imifula itshe. IBhashani leKhameli kuyabuna lemiqhakazo yaseLebhanoni ibune.
5 Fuula isaa duratti tulluuwwan ni kirkiru; gaarranis baqanii badu. Iddoo inni jirutti lafti ni hollatti; addunyaa fi wanni addunyaa irra jiraatu hundi ni hollatu.
Izintaba ziyanyikinyeka phambi kwakhe, lamaqaqa ayancibilika. Umhlaba uyagedezela ngobukhona bakhe, umhlaba labo bonke abahlala kuwo.
6 Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana obsuu dandaʼa? Dheekkamsi isaa akkuma ibiddaa dhangalaʼa; fuula isaa duratti kattaawwan ni burkutaaʼu.
Ngubani ongamelana lentukuthelo yakhe na? Ngubani ongalumela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo na? Ulaka lwakhe luthululeka njengomlilo; amadwala ayaqhekezeka phambi kwakhe.
7 Waaqayyo gaarii dha; yeroo rakkinaattis daʼoo dha. Inni warra isa amanatan ni beeka;
UThixo ulungile, uyisiphephelo ezikhathini zokuhlupheka. Uyabakhathalela abathembele kuye,
8 Garuu inni lolaa jabaadhaan Nanawwee ni balleessa; amajaajota isaas ariʼee dukkanatti galcha.
kodwa ngesikhukhula esikhulu uzatshabalalisa iNiniva; uzaxotshela izitha zakhe emnyameni.
9 Wanni isin Waaqayyootti yaaddan maali? inni guutumaan guutuutti ni balleessa; rakkoonis lammata hin dhufu.
Loba engamacebo bani abawenza ngoThixo, uzawaqeda; ukuhlupheka akuyikubuya kabili.
10 Isaan qoraattii keessatti xaxamanii daadhii wayinii isaaniitiin machaaʼu; akkuma cidii gogeetti gubatanii dhumu.
Bazathandeleka phakathi kwameva, bedakwe liwayini labo; bazaqothulwa njengenhlanga ezomileyo.
11 Yaa Nanawwee, namni Waaqayyotti hammina malatee waan hamaa karoorfatu si keessaa argameera.
Wena Nineve, kuwe sekufike lowo oceba okubi ngoThixo, eluleke okubi.
12 Waaqayyo akkana jedha: “Isaan jabinaa fi baayʼina yoo qabaatan iyyuu isaan ni barbadeeffamu; ni badus. Yaa Yihuudaa, ani yoon duraan si miidhee jiraadhe iyyuu, siʼachi si hin miidhu.
Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo: “Lanxa belababambene labo njalo bebanengi, bazaqothulwa banyamalale. Lanxa ngikuhluphile, wena Juda, kangisayikukuhlupha futhi.
13 Ani amma waanjoo isaanii gurmuu keessan irraa nan cabsa; hudhaa kees sirraa nan kuta.”
Khathesi ngizakwephula ijogwe labo elisentanyeni yakho, ngiqamule lamaketane akho.”
14 Yaa Nanawwee, Waaqayyo akkana jedhee waaʼee kee ajaja kennee jira: “Ati sanyii maqaan kee ittiin waamamu hin qabaattu. Ani fakkiiwwan soofamanii fi waaqota tolfamoo baqfamanii tolfaman kanneen galmawwan waaqota keetii keessa jiran nan barbadeessa. Waan ati akka malee balfamaa taateef ani awwaala siif nan qopheessa.”
UThixo usekhuphe ilizwi ngawe Nineve elithi, “Kawuyikuba lezizukulwane ezibizwa ngebizo lakho. Ngizachitha izifanekiso ezibaziweyo lezithombe ezibunjiweyo ezisethempelini labonkulunkulu bakho. Ngizalungisa ingcwaba lakho, ngoba ungcolile.”
15 Kunoo, miilli nama oduu gaarii fidu, kan nagaa labsu tokkoo tulluuwwan irra jira! Yaa Yihuudaa, ayyaanota kee ayyaaneffadhu; wareega kees baafadhu. Siʼachi hamaan si hin weeraru; inni guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeeffama.
Khangela ezintabeni le, inyawo zalowo oletha izindaba ezinhle, omemezela ukuthula! Thakazelela imikhosi yakho we Juda, ugcwalise lezifungo zakho. Ababi kabasayikukuhlasela futhi; bazachithwa ngokupheleleyo.
