Nahumi 1
1 Chirevo pamusoro peNinevhe. Bhuku rezvakaonekwa naNahumi muErikoshi.
THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Jehovha ane godo uye ndiMwari anotsiva; Jehovha anotsiva uye azere nehasha. Jehovha anotsiva kuvavengi vake uye anochengetera vavengi vake hasha dzake.
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 Jehovha anononoka kutsamwa uye ane simba guru; Jehovha haangasiye ane mhosva asina kurangwa. Nzira yake iri muchamupupuri nedutu, uye makore ndiwo guruva retsoka dzake.
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 Anotuka gungwa agoriomesa; anoita kuti nzizi dzose dziome. Bhashani neKarimeri zvasvava uye kutumbuka kweRebhanoni kwapera.
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 Makomo anodengenyeka pamberi pake uye zvikomo zvinonyungudika. Nyika inodedera pamberi pake, nyika uye navose vanogara mairi.
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 Ndiani angadzivisa hasha dzake? Ndiani angashingirire pahasha dzake dzinotyisa? Hasha dzake dzadururwa somoto; matombo apwanyika pamberi pake.
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 Jehovha akanaka, utiziro panguva dzokutambudzika. Anochengeta avo vanovimba naye,
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
8 asi namafashamu ane simba guru, achaparadza Ninevhe; achateverera vavengi vake kusvikira murima.
But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
9 Zvose zvavakaronga pamusoro paJehovha iye achazviparadza; dambudziko haringauyi kechipiri.
What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
10 Vachakorokodzwa pakati peminzwa uye vachadhakwa newaini yavo; vachaparadzwa samashanga akaoma.
For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Kubva mauri, iwe Ninevhe, pane mumwe akabuda anoronga zvakaipa pamusoro paJehovha uye anopa zano rakaipa.
Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
12 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kunyange vane vabatsiri uye vakawanda, vachaurayiwa vakasazovapozve. Kunyange ndakakutambudza, iwe Judha, handichazokutambudzazve.
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 Zvino ndichavhuna joko ravo kubva pamutsipa wako uye ndichadambura ngetani dzako.”
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 Jehovha arayira shoko pamusoro pako, iwe Ninevhe, rokuti, “Hauchazovi nezvizvarwa zvinopiwa zita rako. Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvakavezwa nezvifananidzo zvakaumbwa, zviri mutemberi yavamwari vako. Ndichachera guva rako, nokuti iwe wakaipa kwazvo.”
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 Tarira, pamakomo apo, tsoka dzouyo anouya namashoko akanaka, anoparidza rugare! Pemberera mitambo yako, iwe Judha, uye uzadzise mhiko dzako. Vakaipa havachakurwisazve; vachaparadzwa zvachose.
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.
