¹Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

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

²A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is] Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.

²Rabbigu 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.

³Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.

³Rabbigu 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.

⁴He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.

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

⁵Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.

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

⁶Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.

⁶Bal 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.

⁷Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.

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

⁸And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.

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

⁹What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.

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

¹⁰For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.

¹⁰Waayo, 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.

¹¹From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.

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

¹²Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more.

¹²Rabbigu 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.

¹³And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.

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

¹⁴And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, `No more of thy name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast been vile.

¹⁴Oo 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.Bal 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.

¹⁵Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been completely cut off!

¹⁵Bal 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.
