Nahoma 1
1 Ty talily i Ninevè. Ty boken’ aroñaro’ i Nakòme nte-Elkose.
The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 Mpamarahy t’i Andrianañahare, Mpamale fate t’Iehovà; Mpañondroke miforoforo t’Iehovà; Mpañava-kabò amo rafelahi’eo t’Iehovà, ie mañaja haviñerañe amo malaiñe azeo.
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
3 Malaon-kaviñerañe t’Iehovà, ra’elahy ty haozara’e, fe tsy hapò’e tsy ho lafaeñe o aman-kakeoo; Iehovà: amo tangololahio o lala’eo, naho ami’ty tio-bey ao; o rahoñeo ro debom-pandia’e.
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Endaha’e i riakey le ampimaihe’e, ampikarakankaiñe’e o sakao; rinotsake t’i Basane naho i Karmele; miheatse ty voñen-katae’ i Libanone.
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
5 Miezeñezeñe aolo’e eo o vohitseo, mitranake iaby o haboañeo, forototo ty tane toy ami’ty fiatrefa’e, ty voatse toy naho ze mpimoneñe ama’e ao.
The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
6 Ia ty mahafijohañe añatrefa’ o fifombo’eo? Ia ty mahatambeloñe amy fiforoforoan-kaviñera’ey? Ailiñe hoe afo ty filevelevea’e, avokovoko’e ambane iaby ze vato.
Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Soa t’Iehovà, fipalirañe añ’andron-kankàñe; arofoana’e iaby o miato ama’eo.
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
8 F’ie an-tsorotombahañe mivovò, ty hamongora’e i toe’ey, vaho ho roahe’e mb’ an-kamoromoroñañe ao o rafelahi’eo.
But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
9 Ino ze o fikililia’ areo am’ Iehovà zao? Fa harotsa’e, tsy hiongake fañindroe’e ty hekoheko.
What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 Fa manahake ty fivandiram-patike naho ty hamamoa’ o jikeo, ty hampangotomomoheñe iereo hoe ahe-maike.
For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
11 Boak’ ama’o ty niavia’ i nikitro-draha am’ Iehovày, ie mañeretse hatsivokarañe.
Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
12 Hoe t’Iehovà: ndra t’ie lifo-kaozarañe, naho mitozantozañe, mbe hampikorovoheñe, vaho hihelañe añe; fa ndra te nanilofeko rehe, tsy ho silofeko ka.
This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Hapozako ama’o henaneo ty joka’e, vaho ho rafadrafateko o tali-randra’oo.
Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
14 Fa nandily ty ama’o t’Iehovà, te tsy ho tongisañe ka ty tahina’o; le haitoako amy akiban-drahare’oy ty sare sokin-katae naho ty sare natranake; f’ie hanoako kibory, amy t’ie tsy manjofake.
Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
15 Hehek’ an-kaboañe ey o fandia’ i mpinday talily soaio, i mampiboele fifampilongoañey! O ry Iehodà, anò o sabadidake miavakeo, henefo o nifantà’oo; amy te tsy hiranga ama’o ka ty Beliale, fa naitoañe.
Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
