< Nehumi 1 >

1 Ko e tala mamafa ki Ninive. Ko e tohi ʻoe meʻa hā mai kia Nehumi, ko e tangata ʻElikosi.
Raajii waaʼee Nanawwee dubbatame. Kitaaba mulʼata Naahoom Elqooshicha.
2 ‌ʻOku fuaʻa ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku totongi ʻe Sihova; ʻoku totongi ʻe Sihova, pea ʻoku houhau vela ia; ʻe totongi ʻe Sihova ki hono ngaahi fili, pea ʻoku ne fakatoe [ʻae houhau ]maʻa hono ngaahi fili.
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.
3 ‌ʻOku tuai ʻa Sihova ki he houhau, mo lahi ʻi he mālohi, pea ʻe ʻikai siʻi fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e [angahala]: ʻoku ai ʻae hāʻeleʻanga ʻo Sihova ʻi he ʻahiohio, pea ʻi he afā, pea ko e ngaahi ʻao, ko e efu ia ʻo hono vaʻe.
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.
4 ‌ʻOku ne valokiʻi ʻae tahi, pea ʻoku ne fakamōmoaʻi ia, pea ʻoku ne fakamatuʻu ʻae ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē; ʻoku mae ʻa Pesani, mo Kameli, mo e kakala ʻo Lepanoni ʻoku mae.
Inni galaanatti dheekkamee gogsa; akka lagni hundinuu gogu godha. Baashaanii fi Qarmeloos ni coollagu; daraaraa Libaanoonis ni harcaʼa.
5 ‌ʻOku ngalulu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga koeʻuhi ko ia, pea ʻoku vai ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga, pea ʻoku vela ʻa māmani ʻi hono ʻao, ʻio, ʻa māmani mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku nofo ai.
Fuula isaa duratti tulluuwwan ni kirkiru; gaarranis baqanii badu. Iddoo inni jirutti lafti ni hollatti; addunyaa fi wanni addunyaa irra jiraatu hundi ni hollatu.
6 Ko hai ʻe faʻa tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo hono houhau? Pea ko hai ʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻoka ne ka houhau vela? ʻoku huaʻi ʻene lili hangē ko e afi, pea ʻoku ne lī hifo ʻae ngaahi maka lalahi.
Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa? Eenyutu dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa sana obsuu dandaʼa? Dheekkamsi isaa akkuma ibiddaa dhangalaʼa; fuula isaa duratti kattaawwan ni burkutaaʼu.
7 ‌ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova, ko e hūfanga mālohi ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
Waaqayyo gaarii dha; yeroo rakkinaattis daʼoo dha. Inni warra isa amanatan ni beeka;
8 Ka ʻi he fuʻu malofa te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa hono potu, pea ʻe tuli ʻe he poʻuli ʻa hono ngaahi fili.
Garuu inni lolaa jabaadhaan Nanawwee ni balleessa; amajaajota isaas ariʼee dukkanatti galcha.
9 Ko e hā ʻoku mou filioʻi kia Sihova? Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito; ʻe ʻikai toe tupu ʻae mamahi ʻo liunga ua.
Wanni isin Waaqayyootti yaaddan maali? inni guutumaan guutuutti ni balleessa; rakkoonis lammata hin dhufu.
10 He lolotonga ʻenau fepikitaki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻakau talatala, pea ʻi heʻenau kei kona, hangē ha kau kona, ʻe vela ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu, ʻo hangē ko e veve kuo mōmoa ʻaupito.
Isaan qoraattii keessatti xaxamanii daadhii wayinii isaaniitiin machaaʼu; akkuma cidii gogeetti gubatanii dhumu.
11 Kuo tupu ha tokotaha meiate koe ʻoku filioʻi kovi kia Sihova, ko e tangata ako kovi.
Yaa Nanawwee, namni Waaqayyotti hammina malatee waan hamaa karoorfatu si keessaa argameera.
12 ‌ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, “Neongo ʻoku longo pe mo tokolahi foki, ʻe pehē ʻae tuʻusi hifo ʻakinautolu, ʻoka ne ka laka atu. Neongo kuo u fakamamahiʻi koe, ʻe ʻikai te u toe fakamamahiʻi koe.
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.
13 He ko eni, te u maumauʻi ʻa ʻene haʻamonga meiate koe, pea motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi.”
Ani amma waanjoo isaanii gurmuu keessan irraa nan cabsa; hudhaa kees sirraa nan kuta.”
14 Pea kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ha fekau kiate koe, “Ke ʻoua naʻa toe tūtuuʻi ha niʻihi ʻi ho hingoa: mei he fale ʻo ho ngaahi ʻotua, te u motuhi ʻae tamapua kuo tongi, mo e tamapua kuo haka: te u keli ho tanuʻanga, he ʻoku ke kovi.”
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.”
15 Vakai, ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae vaʻe ʻo ia ʻoku ʻomi ʻae ongoongolelei, ʻaia ʻoku fakahā ʻae melino! ʻE Siuta, tauhi ki hoʻo ngaahi kātoanga mamafa, fai hoʻo ngaahi fuakava: koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai kei laka ʻiate koe ʻae angahala; kuo motuhi ʻaupito ia.
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.
