oracle Nineveh scroll: book vision Nahum [the] Elkoshite
2 Yehova ni Mungu mwenye wivu na analipa kisasi; Yehova hulipa kisasi na amejaa ghadhabu; Yohova analipiza kisasi kwa adui zake, na huiendeleza hasira yake kwa adui zake.
God jealous and to avenge LORD to avenge LORD and master: [master of] rage to avenge LORD to/for enemy his and to keep he/she/it to/for enemy his
3 Yehova ni mwenye nguvu nyingi na mpole wa hasira; hatakuwa na namna ya kuacha kuwahesabia hatia adui zake. Yehova hufanya njia yake kwenye upepo wa kisulisuli na dhoruba, na mawingu ni mavumbi ya miguu yake.
LORD slow face: anger (and great: large *Q(K)*) strength and to clear not to clear LORD in/on/with whirlwind and in/on/with storm way: journey his and cloud dust foot his
4 Huikemea bahari na kuifanya ikauke; hukausha mito yote. Bashani ni dhaifu, na Karmeli pia; maua ya Lebanoni ni dhaifu.
to rebuke in/on/with sea and to wither him and all [the] river to dry to weaken Bashan and Carmel and flower Lebanon to weaken
5 Milima hutetema kwenye uwepo wake, na vilima huyeyuka; dunia huanguka mbele zake, kabisa, dunia na watu wote wanaoishi ndani yake.
mountain: mount to shake from him and [the] hill to melt and to lift: raise [the] land: country/planet from face: before his and world and all to dwell in/on/with her
6 Ni nani anaweza kusimama mbele ya ghadhabu yake? Nani anaweza kuzuia ukali wa hasira yake? Ghadhabu yake imemwagwa kama moto, na miamba ameibomoa mbalimbali.
to/for face: before indignation his who? to stand: stand and who? to arise: rise in/on/with burning anger face: anger his rage his to pour like/as fire and [the] rock to tear from him
7 Yehova ni mwema, boma katika siku ya taabu; na yeye ni mwaminifu kwa wale wanaomkimbilia.
pleasant LORD to/for security in/on/with day distress and to know to seek refuge in/on/with him
8 Lakini atafanya mwisho wa adui zake kwa mafuriko ya kutisha; atawawinda kwenye giza.
and in/on/with flood to pass consumption to make place her and enemy his to pursue darkness
9 Watu wanapanga nini dhidi ya Yehova? Yeye atakomesha; taabu haitainuka mara ya pili.
what? to devise: devise [emph?] to(wards) LORD consumption he/she/it to make not to arise: rise beat distress
10 Maana watakuwa wamevurugika kama michongoma; wataloweshwa katika kinywaji chao mwenyewe; wataharibiwa kabisa kwa moto kama mashina ya mabua.
for till thorn to interweave and like/as liquor their to imbibe to eat like/as stubble dry full
11 Mtu mmoja aliinuka miongoni mwenu, Ninawi, aliyepanga ubaya dhidi ya Yehova, mtu ambaye aliimarisha uovu.
from you to come out: come to devise: devise upon LORD distress: evil to advise Belial: worthless
12 Hivi ndivyo anavyosema Yehova, “Hata kama wananguvu zao timilifu na idadi timilifu, hata hivyo watanyolewa, watu wao hawatakuwepo tena. Bali wewe, Yuda: Ingawa nimekutesa, sitakutesa tena.
thus to say LORD if complete and so many and so to shear and to pass and to afflict you not to afflict you still
13 Sasa nitaivunja ile nira ya watu kutoka kwako; nitaikata minyororo yako.
and now to break yoke his from upon you and bond your to tear
14 Yehova ametoa amri juu yako, Ninawi: “Hakutakuwa na kizazi tena chenye kubeba jina lako. Nitazizuia sanamu zilizochongwa na kuziondoa sanamu za chuma kutoka kwenye nyumba za miungu yenu. Nitachimba makaburi yenu, kwa kudharauliwa kwenu.”
and to command upon you LORD not to sow from name your still from house: temple God your to cut: eliminate idol and liquid to set: make grave your for to lighten
15 Tazama, juu ya milima kuna miguu ya mtu aletaye habari njema, anayetangaza amani! Sherehekeeni sikukuu zenu, Yuda, na tunzeni nadhiri zenu, kwa maana mwovu hatawavamia tena; ameondolewa kabisa.
behold upon [the] mountain: mount foot to bear tidings to hear: proclaim peace to celebrate Judah feast your to complete vow your for not to add: again still (to/for to pass *Q(k)*) in/on/with you Belial: worthless all his to cut: eliminate
