Nahum 1
1 Ti pakaammo maipanggep iti Nineve. Ti Libro ti Sirmata ni Nahum, nga Elkoshita.
The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Ni Yahweh ket managimon a Dios ken managibales; managibales ni Yahweh ken napnoan ti pungtot; managibales ni Yahweh kadagiti kabusorna ken sipupungtot latta kadagiti kabusorna.
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.
3 Saan a nalaka nga agpungtot ni Yahweh ken naindaklan ti pannakabalinna, saanna a pulos nga ipakaammo nga awan basol dagiti kabusorna. Ipakpakita ni Yahweh ti wagasna babaen iti alipugpog ken iti bagyo, ket dagiti ulep ti tapok dagiti sakana.
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.
4 Tubngarenna ti baybay ken pagmagaenna daytoy; paatiananna dagiti amin a karayan. Nakapuy ti Basan ken kasta met ti Carmel; dagiti sabong ti Libano ket aglaylay.
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.
5 Agkintayeg dagiti bantay iti presensiana, ken marunaw dagiti turturod; margaay ti daga iti presensiana, pudno, ti lubong ken dagiti amin tattao nga agnanaed iti daytoy.
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.
6 Siasino ti makabael a sumango iti pungtotna? Siasino ti makalapped iti kinarungsot ti ungetna? Naibukbok ti pungtotna a maiyarig iti apuy ken naburak dagiti bato gapu kenkuana.
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.
7 Naimbag ni Yahweh, maysa a sarikedked iti aldaw ti riribuk; ken napudno isuna kadagiti agkamang kenkuana.
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.
8 Ngem gibusannanto a naan-nay dagiti kabusorna babaen iti napigsa a layus; kamatennanto ida iti kasipngetan.
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.
9 Dakayo a tattao, ania ti pangpanggepenyo a maibusor kenni Yahweh? Gibusannanto a naan-anay daytoy; saanto a rumsua ti riribuk iti maikadua a daras.
What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
10 Ta agpipinnutipotdanto a kas kadagiti sisiit; mabartekdanto kadagiti inumenda; makisapdanto a naan-anay babaen iti apuy a kas iti namaga a garami.
For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
11 Maysa a tao ti bimmangon kenka, O Ninive, a nagpanggep iti dakes maibusor kenni Yahweh, maysa a nangiyam-ammo iti kinadakes.
One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
12 Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: “Uray no addaanda iti naan-anay a pigsa ken bilang, maputeddanto met laeng; awanton dagiti tattaoda. Ngem sika, O Juda: Uray no pinagsagabaka, saankanton a pagsagabaen.
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.
13 Ita, tukkolek dayta a sangol dagiti tattao manipud kenka; pugsatek dagiti kawarmo.”
And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
14 Ket nangted ni Yahweh iti bilin maipanggep kenka, O Nineve: “Awanton ti kaputotan a mangawit iti naganmo. Ikkatekto dagiti nakitikitan a ladawan ken ti ladawan a nasukog iti landok manipud kadagiti balay dagiti diosmo. kaliekto dagiti tanemmo, gapu ta nadangkeska.”
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.
15 Kumitaka, kadagiti tapaw dagiti bantay, adda dagiti saka ti maysa a tao a mangmangyeg iti naimbag a damag, a mangiwarwaragawag iti kappia! Rambakam dagiti fiestam, O Juda, ken tungpalem dagiti sapatam, gapu ta saannakanton a rauten ti nadangkes; naikisap isuna a naan-anay.
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.
