Nahum 1
1 The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Faminaniana ny amin’ ny loza hanjo an’ i Ninive, dia ny bokin’ ny fahitan’ i Nahoma Elkosita.
2 The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
Andriamanitra saro-piaro sy mamaly heloka Jehovah; Jehovah dia Mpamaly heloka sady be fahatezerana; Jehovah dia Mpamaly ny rafilahiny Ary mitahiry fahatezerana hamelezany ny fahavalony.
3 The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Mahari-po Jehovah sady be hery Ary tsy mety manamarina ny meloka; Amin’ ny tadio sy ny tafio-drivotra no lalan’ i Jehovah. Ary rahona no vovoky ny tongony.
4 He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.
Miteny mafy ny ranomasina izy ka mahatankina azy Ary mandritra ny ony rehetra; Malazo Basana sy Karmela. Ary malazo koa ny vonin’ i Libanona.
5 The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.
Mihorohoro eo anatrehany ny tendrombohitra, Sady miempo ny havoana, Ary mientanentana eo anatrehany ny tany, Dia ny tany onenana sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.
6 Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.
Iza no mahatoetra eo anoloan’ ny fahavinirany? Ary iza no mahatanty ny firehitry ny fahatezerany? Aidina toy ny afo ny fahatezerany, Ary mirodana eo anoloany ny vatolampy.
7 The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
Tsara Jehovah, fiarovana mafy amin’ ny andro fahoriana, Ka mahalala izay mialoka aminy.
8 But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.
Fa amin’ ny riaka manafotra no anafoanany ny fitoerany, Ary ny fahavalony dia henjehiny ho any amin’ ny maizina.
9 What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
Inona no heverinareo ho enti-manohitra an’ i Jehovah? Fahafonganana no hataony, Tsy hiverina fanindroany ny fahoriana.
10 For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
Fa na dia miforiporitra toy ny tsilo aza ireny Sady vonton’ ny divay mahery fibobohany, Dia ho levona tokoa toy ny vodivary maina izy.
11 One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
Avy tao aminao no nivoahan’ ny anankiray izay misain-dratsy ho enti-manohitra an’ i Jehovah Sady mamoron-kevi-dratsy.
12 This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Na dia tsy latsaka isa ka mbola maro aza ireny, Dia hofongorana ihany izy ka ho levona Fa efa nampahory anao Aho, Ka tsy hampahory anao intsony.
13 And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
Fa ankehitriny hotapahiko ny ziogany ho afaka aminao, Ary hotosako ny famatorana anao.
14 The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
Ary Jehovah efa nandidy ny aminao hoe: Tsy ho velo-maso intsony ny anaranao; Hataoko tapaka tsy ho ao an-tranon’ ny andriamanitrao ny sarin-javatra voasokitra sy ny sarin-javatra an-idina; Hanao ny fasana ho anjaranao Aho, satria hita fa latsa-danja ianao.
15 See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
Injany! any an-tendrombohitra ny tongotry ny mitondra teny soa mahafaly Sady mitory fiadanana! Tandremo ny andro firavoravoanao, ry Joda, Efao ny voadinao; Fa tsy handeha hamaky eo aminao intsony ilay tena ratsy fanahy, Indray ripaka izy rehetra.
