Nahum 1
1 Elkosini Nahum anisoadehunu nwoma a ɛyɛ nkɔmhyɛ a ɛfa Ninewe ho.
Ko e tala mamafa ki Ninive. Ko e tohi ʻoe meʻa hā mai kia Nehumi, ko e tangata ʻElikosi.
2 Awurade yɛ ninkunfoɔ ne aweretɔ Onyankopɔn, Awurade tɔ wedeɛ na abufuo ahyɛ no ma. Awurade tɔ nʼatamfoɔ so wedeɛ na nʼabufuo tena wɔn so.
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.
3 Awurade bo kyɛre fu, na ne tumi so, na ɔtwe ɔfɔdifoɔ aso. Ne kwan wɔ ntwahoframa ne ahum mu, omununkum yɛ ne nan ase mfuturo.
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.
4 Ɔteatea ɛpo na ɔma ɛwe; ɔma nsubɔntene nyinaa wewe. Basan ne Karmel twintwam na Lebanon frɔmfrɔmyɛ nso kusa.
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.
5 Mmepɔ woso biribiri nʼanim na nkokoɔ nane. Asase, ewiase ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu nyinaa woso nʼanim.
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.
6 Hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina nʼabufuo ano? Hwan na ɔbɛtumi atena nʼabufuhyeɛ mu? Nʼabufuo hwie te sɛ ogya; abotan yam wɔ nʼanim.
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.
7 Awurade yɛ, ɔyɛ ahohia mu dwanekɔbea. Nʼani wɔ wɔn a wɔde wɔn ho to no so no so.
ʻOku lelei ʻa Sihova, ko e hūfanga mālohi ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi; pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku falala kiate ia.
8 Nanso, ɔnam nsuyire nwanwasoɔ so bɛma Ninewe aba awieeɛ. Ɔbɛtaa nʼatamfoɔ akɔduru esum kabii mu.
Ka ʻi he fuʻu malofa te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻa hono potu, pea ʻe tuli ʻe he poʻuli ʻa hono ngaahi fili.
9 Ɛpɔ biara a wɔbɛbɔ atia Awurade no, ɔbɛsɛe no; ɔhaw biara remma ne mprenu so.
Ko e hā ʻoku mou filioʻi kia Sihova? Te ne fakaʻauha ʻaupito; ʻe ʻikai toe tupu ʻae mamahi ʻo liunga ua.
10 Wɔde nkasɛɛ bɛkyekyere wɔn ho, na ɛberɛ a wɔn nsa aboro wɔn no wɔbɛhye wɔn sɛ wira dwaneeɛ a wɔaboa ano.
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.
11 Ao, Ninewe, wo mu na deɛ ɔbɔ ɛpɔ bɔne tia Awurade na ɔtu fo bɔne no firie.
Kuo tupu ha tokotaha meiate koe ʻoku filioʻi kovi kia Sihova, ko e tangata ako kovi.
12 Deɛ Awurade seɛ nie: “Ɛwom sɛ wɔwɔ apamfoɔ a wɔdɔɔso deɛ, nanso wɔbɛsɛe wɔn ama wɔayera. Ao Yuda, ɛwom sɛ mama ɔhaw aba wo so, nanso merenyɛ saa bio.
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.
13 Afei, mɛbubu kɔnnua a ɛda wo kɔn mu na matete nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn no mu.”
He ko eni, te u maumauʻi ʻa ʻene haʻamonga meiate koe, pea motuhi ho ngaahi haʻi.”
14 Ninewe, Awurade aka ɔhyɛ asɛm a ɛfa wo ho: “Worennya asefoɔ a wo din bɛda wɔn so. Mɛsɛe nsɛsodeɛ a wɔasene ne ahoni a wɔaguo a ɛsisi wʼabosonnan mu no. Mɛsiesie wʼadamena ɛfiri sɛ wadane ayɛ atantanneɛ.”
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.”
15 Hwɛ mmepɔ no so, deɛ a ɔde asɛmpa no ba no anammɔn ɔno na ɔka asomdwoesɛm! Ao, Yuda di wʼafahyɛ na di wɔ bɔhyɛ so. Nnipa bɔne rentu wo so sa bio; Wɔbɛsɛe wɔn pasaa.
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.
