1 K anu waa warka culus oo Nineweh ku saabsan. Oo waa kitaabkii waxa Naxuum kii reer Elkosh la tusay.

The burden or oracle (the thing to be lifted up) concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.

2 R abbigu waa Ilaah masayr ah oo waa aarsadaa, Rabbigu waa aarsadaa oo waa cadho miidhan. Rabbigu cadaawayaashiisa waa ka aargutaa, oo cadowgiisana cadho buu u kaydiyaa.

The Lord is a jealous God and avenging; the Lord avenges and He is full of wrath. The Lord takes vengeance on His adversaries and reserves wrath for His enemies.

3 R abbigu cadho wuu u gaabiya, waana xoog badan yahay, oo kii gardaran sinaba eedlaawe ugu haysan maayo. Rabbigu wuxuu jid ku leeyahay dabaysha cirwareenta ah iyo duufaanka, oo daruuruhuna waa boodhkii cagihiisa.

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

4 I sagu wuxuu canaantaa badda, oo weliba iyaduu engejiyaa, oo webiyaasha oo dhanna wuu wada qallajiyaa. Baashaan iyo Karmel way engegaan, oo ubixii Lubnaanna waa dhaday.

He rebukes and threatens the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Mount Carmel wither, and the blossom of Lebanon fades.

5 B uuruhu way ka gariiraan isaga, oo kuruhuna way dhalaalaan, oo dhulka xataa dunida iyo waxa deggan oo dhammuba way ku rogmadaan hortiisa.

The mountains tremble and quake before Him and the hills melt away, and the earth is upheaved at His presence—yes, the world and all that dwell in it.

6 B al yaa dhirifkiisa is-hor taagi kara? Oo bal yaa u adkaysan kara kulaylka cadhadiisa? Cadhadiisu waa u daadatay sidii dab oo kale, oo dhagaxyada waaweynna isagaa kala dildillaacshay.

Who can stand before His indignation? And who can stand up and endure the fierceness of His anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by Him.

7 R abbigu waa wanaagsan yahay, oo wakhtigii dhib jirona waa qalcad, wuuna garanayaa kuwa isaga isku halleeya.

The Lord is good, a Strength and Stronghold in the day of trouble; He knows (recognizes, has knowledge of, and understands) those who take refuge and trust in Him.

8 L aakiinse meesheeda wuxuu ku baabbi'in doonaa daad soo buuxdhaafay, oo cadaawayaashiisana wuu u eryan doonaa gudcurka dhexdiisa.

But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of site and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9 W ar maxaad Rabbiga la damacsan tihiin? Isagu wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa. Dhibaatana mar labaad soo ma kici doonto.

What do you devise and plot against the Lord? He will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.

10 W aayo, in kastoo ay la mid yihiin qodxan isku wada murugsan, oo ay yihiin sidii kuwo cabniinkoodii ku sakhraamay, haddana waxaa loo wada baabbi'in doonaa sidii bal engegay.

For are as bundles of thorn branches, and even while drowned in their drunken they shall be consumed like stubble fully dry.

11 W axaa kaa soo baxay mid Rabbiga wax shar ah u fikira, oo xumaato ku taliya.

There is one gone forth out of you who plots evil against the Lord, a villainous counselor.

12 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, In kastoo ay xoog badan yihiin oo weliba ay tiro badan yihiin, haddana iyaga waa la wada gooyn doonaa, oo isna wuu dhammaan doonaa. In kastoo aan idin dhibay, mar dambe idin dhibi maayo.

Thus says the Lord: Though they be in full strength and likewise many, even so shall be cut down when shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will not cause you to be afflicted any more.

13 O o haatan harqoodkiisa waan idinka jebin doonaa, oo jebbooyinka idinku xidhanna waan jebin doonaa.

For now will I break his yoke from off you and will burst your bonds asunder.

14 O o Rabbigu wuxuu bixiyey amar kugu saabsan, si aan innaba mar dambe jirin farcan magacaaga sii wada. Guriga ilaahyadaada waxaan ka baabbi'in doonaa sanamka xardhan iyo sanamka la shubay, oo waxaan samayn doonaa qabrigaagii, waayo, waxaad tahay wax la fududaystay.

And the Lord has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name shall be born nor shall your name be perpetuated. Out of the house of your gods I will cut off the graven and molten images; I will make your tomb, for you are vile and despised.

15 B al eega kan warka wanaagsan keenaya oo nabadda faafinaya cagihiisa oo buuraha dul socda! Dadka Yahuudahow, iidihiinna dhawra, oo nidarradiinna oofiya, waayo, kii sharka ahaa mar dambe idinma soo dhex mari doono, waayo, isagii waa la wada baabbi'iyey.

Behold! upon the mountains the feet of him who brings good tidings, who publishes peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; perform your vows. For the wicked counselor shall no more come against you or pass through your land; he is utterly cut off.
