Nahum 1
1 Ọ̀rọ̀-ìmọ̀ nípa Ninefe. Ìwé ìran Nahumu ará Elkoṣi.
The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.
2 Ọlọ́run ń jẹ owú, ó sì ń gbẹ̀san, Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san, ó sì kún fún ìbínú. Olúwa ń gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀. Ìbínú rẹ̀ kò sì yí padà lórí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
God is ielous, and the Lord reuengeth: the Lord reuengeth: euen the Lord of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his aduersaries, and he reserueth wrath for his enemies.
3 Olúwa lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì tóbi ní agbára; Olúwa kì yóò fi àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láìjìyà. Ọ̀nà rẹ̀ wà nínú afẹ́fẹ́ àti nínú ìjì, ìkùùkuu sánmọ̀ sì ni eruku ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
The Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely cleare the wicked: the Lord hath his way in ye whirlewind, and in the storme, and the cloudes are the dust of his feete.
4 Ó bá òkun wí, ó sì mú kí ó gbẹ; Ó sìsọ gbogbo odò di gbígbẹ. Baṣani àti Karmeli sì rọ. Ìtànná Lebanoni sì rẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
He rebuketh the sea, and dryeth it, and he dryeth vp all the riuers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the floure of Lebanon is wasted.
5 Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì níwájú rẹ̀, àwọn òkè kéékèèké sì di yíyọ́, ilẹ̀ ayé sì jóná níwájú rẹ̀, àní ayé àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
The mountaines tremble for him, and the hilles melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea, the worlde, and all that dwell therein.
6 Ta ni ó lé dúró níwájú ìbínú rẹ̀? Ta ni ó lé faradà gbígbóná ìbínú rẹ̀? Ìbínú rẹ̀ tú jáde bí iná; àwọn àpáta sì fọ́ túútúú níwájú rẹ̀.
Who can stande before his wrath? or who can abide in the fiercenesse of his wrath? his wrath is powred out like fire, and the rockes are broken by him.
7 Rere ni Olúwa, òun ni ààbò ní ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú. Òun sì tọ́jú àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e,
The Lord is good and as a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 ṣùgbọ́n pẹ̀lú ìkún omi ńlá ní òun yóò fi ṣe ìparun láti ibẹ̀ dé òpin; òkùnkùn yóò sì máa lépa àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
But passing ouer as with a flood, he will vtterly destroy the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.
9 Kí ni ẹ̀yìn ń gbìmọ̀ lòdì sí Olúwa? Òun yóò fi òpin sí i, ìpọ́njú kì yóò wáyé ní ìgbà kejì.
What doe ye imagine against the Lord? he wil make an vtter destruction: affliction shall not rise vp the seconde time.
10 Wọn yóò sì lọ́lù papọ̀ bí ẹ̀gún òṣùṣú wọn yóò sì mu àmupara nínú ọtí wáìnì wọn a ó sì run wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bi àgékù koríko gbígbẹ.
For he shall come as vnto thornes folden one in another, and as vnto drunkards in their drunkennesse: they shall be deuoured as stubble fully dryed.
11 Láti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ, ìwọ Ninefe, ni ẹnìkan ti jáde wá tí ó ń gbèrò ibi sí Olúwa ti ó sì ń gbìmọ̀ búburú.
There commeth one out of thee that imagineth euill against the Lord, euen a wicked counsellour.
12 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ ni ìfọwọ́sowọ́pọ̀, tí wọ́n sì pọ̀ níye, ṣùgbọ́n, báyìí ní a ó ké wọn lulẹ̀, nígbà tí òun ó bá kọjá. Bí mo tilẹ̀ ti pọ́n ọ lójú ìwọ Juda, èmi kì yóò pọ́n ọ lójúmọ́.
Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall passe by: though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 Nísinsin yìí ni èmi yóò já àjàgà wọn kúrò ní ọrùn rẹ èmi yóò já ṣẹ́kẹ́ṣẹkẹ̀ rẹ dànù.”
For nowe I will breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 Olúwa ti fi àṣẹ kan lélẹ̀ nítorí tìrẹ Ninefe: “Ìwọ kì yóò ni irú-ọmọ láti máa jẹ́ orúkọ rẹ mọ́, Èmi yóò pa ère fínfín àti ère dídà run tí ó wà nínú tẹmpili àwọn ọlọ́run rẹ. Èmi yóò wa ibojì rẹ, nítorí ẹ̀gbin ni ìwọ.”
And the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sowen: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the grauen, and the molten image: I will make it thy graue for thee, for thou art vile.
15 Wò ó, lórí àwọn òkè, àwọn ẹsẹ̀ ẹni tí ó mú ìròyìn ayọ̀ wá, ẹni tí ó ń kéde àlàáfíà. Ìwọ Juda, pa àṣẹ rẹ tí ó ní ìrònú mọ́, kí ó sì san àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ. Àwọn ènìyàn búburú kì yóò sì gbóguntì ọ́ mọ́; wọn yóò sì parun pátápátá.
Beholde vpon the mountaines the feete of him that declareth, and publisheth peace: O Iudah, keepe thy solemne feastes, perfourme thy vowes: for the wicked shall no more passe thorowe thee: he is vtterly cut off.
