Nahum
UMUTWE WA 1
1 Umutwaro wa Nineve. Igitabo cy'iyerekwa rya Nahumu Elkoshite.
2 Imana ifuha, Uhoraho arihorera; Uhoraho arihorera, ararakara; Uhoraho azahorera abanzi be, kandi arakarira abanzi be uburakari.
3 Uwiteka atinda kurakara, kandi afite imbaraga nyinshi, kandi ntazigera agirwa umwere ababi: Uwiteka afite inzira ye mu muyaga no mu muyaga, kandi ibicu ni umukungugu w'ibirenge bye.
4 Yamaganye inyanja, arayumisha, yumisha inzuzi zose: Bashani irarembye, Karumeli, n'indabyo zo muri Libani zirashira.
5 Imisozi iramutigisa, imisozi irashonga, isi irashya imbere ye, yego, isi n'abayituye bose.
6 Ni nde ushobora guhagarara imbere y'uburakari bwe? kandi ni nde ushobora kuguma mu burakari bwe? uburakari bwe busuka nk'umuriro, amabuye arajugunywa na we.
7 Uwiteka ni mwiza, ukomeye mu munsi w'amakuba; kandi azi abamwiringira.
8 Ariko umwuzure wuzuye uzarimbura burundu aho uherereye, umwijima uzakurikira abanzi be.
Ni iki utekereza ku Uwiteka? Azarangiza burundu: umubabaro ntuzongera kubaho ubwa kabiri.
10 Kuko mu gihe baziritse hamwe nk'amahwa, kandi mu gihe basinze nk'abasinzi, bazarya nk'ibyatsi byumye.
11 Hariho umwe muri wewe, utekereza ikibi kuri Uwiteka, umujyanama mubi.
12 Ni ko Yehova avuze. Nubwo bacecetse, kandi kimwe na benshi, ariko rero bazacibwa, igihe azanyura. Nubwo nakubabaje, sinzongera kukubabaza.
13 Erega ubu nzagukuraho ingogo ye, kandi nzagucika intege.
14 Uwiteka yaguhaye itegeko kuri wewe, kugira ngo ntuzongere kubiba izina ryawe, mu nzu y'imana zawe nzakuraho ishusho ishushanyije n'ishusho yashongeshejwe, nzakora imva yawe; kuko uri mubi.
15 Dore ku misozi ibirenge bye uzana inkuru nziza, itangaza amahoro! Yuda, komeza iminsi mikuru yawe, ukore indahiro zawe, kuko ababi batazongera kunyura muri wowe; yaciwe burundu.
UMUTWE WA 2
1 Ucikamo ibice azamuke imbere yawe: komeza amasasu, witegereze inzira, komeza ikibuno cyawe, komeza imbaraga zawe.
2 Kuko Uwiteka yahinduye ubwiza bwa Yakobo, nk'icyubahiro cya Isiraheli, kuko abasiba ubusa babakuyeho, bakangiza amashami yabo y'imizabibu.
3 Ingabo y'abanyambaraga be yahinduwe umutuku, abagabo b'intwari bambaye umutuku: amagare azaba afite amatara yaka ku munsi yitegura, kandi ibiti by'imishitsi bizahungabana cyane.
4 Amagare azarakara mu mihanda, azatsindagirana mu buryo bwagutse: bazasa nk'itara, baziruka nk'umurabyo.
5 Azasobanura agaciro ke: bazatsitara mu rugendo rwabo; Bazihutira kugera ku rukuta rwarwo, hategurwa ubwirinzi.
6 Amarembo y'inzuzi azakingurwa, ingoro isenywe.
7 Huzzab azajyanwa mu bunyage, arerwe, n'abaja be bamuyobore nk'ijwi ry'inuma, bambaye amabere.
8 Ariko Nineve ashaje nk'ikidendezi cy'amazi, ariko bazahunga. Hagarara, uhagarare, bazarira; ariko nta n'umwe uzasubiza amaso inyuma.
9 Fata iminyago ya feza, fata iminyago ya zahabu, kuko nta iherezo ry'ububiko n'icyubahiro biri mu bikoresho byiza byose.
10 Afite ubusa, nta gaciro afite, kandi asesagura: umutima urashonga, amavi akubita hamwe, kandi ububabare bwinshi buri mu rukenyerero, kandi mu maso habo bose bakusanya umwijima.
11 Intare ziri he, hamwe n’ahantu ho kugaburira intare zikiri nto, aho intare, ndetse n'intare ishaje, yagendaga, n'ikiziga cy'intare, kandi nta n'umwe wabateye ubwoba?
12 Intare yatanyaguye ibice bihagije kugira ngo ibimuga byayo, iniga umunwa w'intare zayo, yuzuza umwobo we umuhigo, indiri ye yuzuyemo imyanda.
13 Dore ndakurwanya, ni ko Uwiteka Nyiringabo avuga, kandi nzatwika amagare ye mu mwotsi, kandi inkota izarya intare zawe zikiri nto, kandi nzakuraho umuhigo wawe ku isi, n'ijwi ry'intumwa zawe. ntazongera kumvikana.
UMUTWE WA 3
1 Hagowe umujyi wamaraso! byose byuzuye ibinyoma n'ubujura; umuhigo ntugenda;
2 Urusaku rw'ikiboko, n'urusaku rwo kuvuza inziga, n'amafarashi agenda, n'amagare asimbuka.
3 Umunyamafarasi azamura inkota yaka cyane n'icumu rirabagirana: kandi hari abantu benshi bishwe, n'imirambo myinshi; kandi nta mpera y'imirambo yabo; basitara ku mibiri yabo:
4 Kubera ubwinshi bw'indaya z'indaya nziza, nyirabuja w'ubupfumu, igurisha amahanga binyuze mu busambanyi bwe, n'imiryango ikoresheje ubupfumu bwe.
5 Dore ndakurwanya, ni ko Uwiteka Nyiringabo avuga. Nzavumbura amajipo yawe mu maso hawe, kandi nzereka amahanga ubwambure bwawe, ubwami buteye isoni.
6 Nzagutera umwanda uteye ishozi, nkugire umwanda, kandi nzakugira umwirondoro.
7 Kandi abakureba bose bazaguhunga, bakavuga bati: Nineve yasenyutse, ni nde uzamuririra? Nzashakira he abahumuriza?
8 Uruta abantu benshi Oya, yari hagati yinzuzi, zifite amazi azengurutse, inkuta zayo zari inyanja, urukuta rwe ruva mu nyanja?
9 Etiyopiya na Egiputa byari imbaraga ziwe, kandi byari bitagira akagero; Shira na Lubimu bari abafasha bawe.
10 Nyamara aratwarwa, ajyanwa mu bunyage: abana be bato na bo bajanjaguwe ku mpande zose z'umuhanda, maze bagabana ubufindo abagabo be b'icyubahiro, kandi abantu be bose bakomeye baboheshejwe iminyururu.
11 Uzasinda kandi uzihishe, uzashaka n'imbaraga kubera umwanzi.
12 Ibirindiro byawe byose bizamera nk'ibiti by'imitini bifite insukoni ya mbere: nibinyeganyezwa, bizagwa no mu kanwa k'abarya.
13 Dore ubwoko bwawe hagati yawe ni abagore: amarembo y'igihugu cyawe azakingurirwa abanzi bawe: umuriro uzatwika inkoni zawe.
14 Kuvoma amazi kugirango ugoswe, komeza ibirindiro byawe bikomeye: jya mu ibumba, ukandagire morter, komera amatafari.
15 Umuriro uzakurigata; inkota izaguca, izakurya nk'urusenda: wigize benshi nk'inzoka, wigire benshi nk'inzige.
16 Wagwije abadandaza bawe hejuru yinyenyeri zo mwijuru: inzoka yonona, irahunga.
17 Ikamba ryawe ni nk'inzige, kandi abatware bawe bameze nk'inzige nini, zikambika mu ruzitiro ku munsi ukonje, ariko izuba rirashe zirahunga, kandi aho ziri ntizwi aho ziri.
18 Mwami wa Ashuri, abungeri bawe basinziriye, abanyacyubahiro bawe bazatura mu mukungugu, ubwoko bwawe butatanye ku misozi, kandi ntawe ubateranya.
19 Nta gukiza ibikomere byawe; Igikomere cyawe kirababaje: abumva imbuto zawe zose bazagukubita agashyi, kuko ububi bwawe butigeze bukomeza kuri nde?
