< Naxuum 1 >

1 Kanu waa warka culus oo Nineweh ku saabsan. Oo waa kitaabkii waxa Naxuum kii reer Elkosh la tusay.
The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.
2 Rabbigu waa Ilaah masayr ah oo waa aarsadaa, Rabbigu waa aarsadaa oo waa cadho miidhan. Rabbigu cadaawayaashiisa waa ka aargutaa, oo cadowgiisana cadho buu u kaydiyaa.
The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.
3 Rabbigu cadho wuu u gaabiya, waana xoog badan yahay, oo kii gardaran sinaba eedlaawe ugu haysan maayo. Rabbigu wuxuu jid ku leeyahay dabaysha cirwareenta ah iyo duufaanka, oo daruuruhuna waa boodhkii cagihiisa.
The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord’s ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Isagu wuxuu canaantaa badda, oo weliba iyaduu engejiyaa, oo webiyaasha oo dhanna wuu wada qallajiyaa. Baashaan iyo Karmel way engegaan, oo ubixii Lubnaanna waa dhaday.
He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.
5 Buuruhu way ka gariiraan isaga, oo kuruhuna way dhalaalaan, oo dhulka xataa dunida iyo waxa deggan oo dhammuba way ku rogmadaan hortiisa.
The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Bal yaa dhirifkiisa is-hor taagi kara? Oo bal yaa u adkaysan kara kulaylka cadhadiisa? Cadhadiisu waa u daadatay sidii dab oo kale, oo dhagaxyada waaweynna isagaa kala dildillaacshay.
Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.
7 Rabbigu waa wanaagsan yahay, oo wakhtigii dhib jirona waa qalcad, wuuna garanayaa kuwa isaga isku halleeya.
The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8 Laakiinse meesheeda wuxuu ku baabbi'in doonaa daad soo buuxdhaafay, oo cadaawayaashiisana wuu u eryan doonaa gudcurka dhexdiisa.
But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 War maxaad Rabbiga la damacsan tihiin? Isagu wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa. Dhibaatana mar labaad soo ma kici doonto.
What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10 Waayo, in kastoo ay la mid yihiin qodxan isku wada murugsan, oo ay yihiin sidii kuwo cabniinkoodii ku sakhraamay, haddana waxaa loo wada baabbi'in doonaa sidii bal engegay.
For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.
11 Waxaa kaa soo baxay mid Rabbiga wax shar ah u fikira, oo xumaato ku taliya.
Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
12 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, In kastoo ay xoog badan yihiin oo weliba ay tiro badan yihiin, haddana iyaga waa la wada gooyn doonaa, oo isna wuu dhammaan doonaa. In kastoo aan idin dhibay, mar dambe idin dhibi maayo.
Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.
13 Oo haatan harqoodkiisa waan idinka jebin doonaa, oo jebbooyinka idinku xidhanna waan jebin doonaa.
And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.
14 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu bixiyey amar kugu saabsan, si aan innaba mar dambe jirin farcan magacaaga sii wada. Guriga ilaahyadaada waxaan ka baabbi'in doonaa sanamka xardhan iyo sanamka la shubay, oo waxaan samayn doonaa qabrigaagii, waayo, waxaad tahay wax la fududaystay.
And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.
15 Bal eega kan warka wanaagsan keenaya oo nabadda faafinaya cagihiisa oo buuraha dul socda! Dadka Yahuudahow, iidihiinna dhawra, oo nidarradiinna oofiya, waayo, kii sharka ahaa mar dambe idinma soo dhex mari doono, waayo, isagii waa la wada baabbi'iyey.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off.
