Nehumi 1
1 Ko e tala mamafa ki Ninive. Ko e tohi ʻoe meʻa hā mai kia Nehumi, ko e tangata ʻElikosi.
Neno alilosema Mungu kuhusu Ninawi. Kitabu cha maono cha Nahumu, Mwelkoshi.
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.
Bwana ni mwenye wivu na Mungu mlipiza kisasi; Bwana hulipiza kisasi na amejaa ghadhabu. Bwana hulipiza kisasi juu ya watesi wake, naye anadumisha ghadhabu yake dhidi ya adui zake.
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.
Bwana si mwepesi wa hasira naye ni mwenye nguvu, Bwana hataacha kuadhibu wenye hatia. Njia yake ipo katika kisulisuli na tufani, na mawingu ni vumbi la miguu yake.
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.
Anakemea bahari na kuikausha, anafanya mito yote kukauka. Bashani na Karmeli zinanyauka na maua ya Lebanoni hukauka.
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.
Milima hutikisika mbele yake na vilima huyeyuka. Nchi hutetemeka mbele yake, dunia na wote waishio ndani yake.
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.
Ni nani awezaye kuzuia hasira yake yenye uchungu? Nani awezaye kuvumilia hasira yake kali? Ghadhabu yake imemiminwa kama moto, na miamba inapasuka mbele zake.
7 ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova, ko e hūfanga mālohi ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
Bwana ni Mwema, kimbilio wakati wa taabu. Huwatunza wale wanaomtegemea,
8 Ka ʻi he fuʻu malofa te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa hono potu, pea ʻe tuli ʻe he poʻuli ʻa hono ngaahi fili.
lakini kwa mafuriko makubwa, ataangamiza Ninawi; atafuatilia adui zake hadi gizani.
9 Ko e hā ʻoku mou filioʻi kia Sihova? Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito; ʻe ʻikai toe tupu ʻae mamahi ʻo liunga ua.
Shauri baya lolote wapangalo dhidi ya Bwana yeye atalikomesha; taabu haitatokea mara ya pili.
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.
Watasongwa katikati ya miiba na kulewa kwa mvinyo wao. Watateketezwa kama mabua makavu.
11 Kuo tupu ha tokotaha meiate koe ʻoku filioʻi kovi kia Sihova, ko e tangata ako kovi.
Ee Ninawi, kutoka kwako amejitokeza mmoja, ambaye anapanga shauri baya dhidi ya Bwana na kushauri uovu.
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.
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Ingawa wana muungano nao ni wengi sana, watakatiliwa mbali na kuangamia. Ingawa nimekutesa wewe, ee Yuda, sitakutesa tena.
13 He ko eni, te u maumauʻi ʻa ʻene haʻamonga meiate koe, pea motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi.”
Sasa nitavunja nira zao kutoka shingo yako, nami nitazivunjilia mbali pingu zako.”
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.”
Hii ndiyo amri Bwana aliyoitoa kukuhusu wewe, Ninawi: “Hutakuwa na wazao watakaoendeleza jina lako. Nitaharibu sanamu za kuchonga na sanamu za kuyeyusha ambazo zipo katika hekalu la miungu yenu. Nitaandaa kaburi lako, kwa maana wewe ni mwovu kabisa.”
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.
Tazama, huko juu milimani, miguu ya huyo mmoja aletaye habari njema, ambaye anatangaza amani! Ee Yuda, sherehekea sikukuu zako, nawe utimize nadhiri zako. Waovu hawatakuvamia tena; wataangamizwa kabisa.
