Sura 1

1 Maono kuhusu Ninawi. Sitabu sya maono gha Nahumu, Mwelkoshi. 2 Yehova ni kabhumba mukanya ibhumba no alikuliha kisasi; Yehova abhumbike ghasabu; Yehova ekuliha sisasi kubhabhi ghwaaje, no ako endelesya sisasi syaaje kubhabhi ghwaaje. 3 Yehova ni mukanya mana gha mengi no mupole ghwa sisila; tealokubha no namna ja kuleka kubhapandila hatia bhabhi ghwaaje. Yehova akojila nsila syaaje kumusagha gha sisuli suli no dhoruba, no makusi ni lafundu lwa maghuli ghaaje. 4 Akojikemela bahali no kujila jighume; akoghumika nyonga syoonse. Bhashani ni dhaifu, no Karmeli kumwi; ntulo sya Lebanoni ni dhaifu. 5 Misosi siko sughuma kubhuwepo ghwaaje, hafilima fiko jejuka; kabhisa, libhwe lelolikoghwaha mbele jaaje, kabhisa, libhwelelo no bhantu bhonse bho bhekele mukati mwaaje. 6 Nighanyi bho akobhwele kujughalela hambele ja gharabu syaaje? Ghaanyi akobhwele kulesya bhukali bhwa sisila saaje? Ghasabu jaaje jaghomwa kobhe mulilo, no miamba ghaji bomola hale hale. 7 Yehova ni mwema, boma kuntukujatabhu; no nyene ni mwaminifu kubhalyabho bheku mukilimila. 8 Lakini alokwila bhuhela ghwa bhaabhi ghwaaje ku mafulila gha kitisya; alokubha higha kusikolo. 9 Bhaanto bheku panga sii dhidi ja Jehova? Nyene alo kukomesya; taabhute jile kubhuuka mala ja bhubhili. 10 Maana bhalo kubha bhasambala kati ni songoma; bhalo kunyanyi sibhwa ku siywaji syaabho bheene; bhalo kubhihisibhwa kabhisa ku mulilo kati mashina gha mabua. 11 Muntu ghumwi akabhukila muingoni mwenyu, Ninawi, gho akapangile dhiki ja Yehova, muntu gho ghaka bhuko myabhubhii. 12 Teti bho abhalisye Yehova, ''Ningi kubha bhali no managha ghaabho ghakutimila no idadi timilifu , ningi tetyo bhalo ku nyolebhwa, bhaantu bhaabho tebhalo kubhaha kabhili. Tuughwe, Yuda: Ninga bho nankusanfya, tendoku sanfya kabhili. 13 Noonwe ndakujifuma ghajilya nilaja bhantu kufuma ku mwobhe; ndakujiputa minyororo syrobhe. 14 Yehova ghafyuma amuli halughulu joobe, Ninawi: ''Tekulo kubha no bhufyalo ghwa kutwala isina lyoobhe kabhili. Ndokusi leeya mikiti syoti sibhasilwe no kusi fumya mikiti sya ijela kufumaku nyumba syamaghuki ghwentu. Ndoku sabha makabhi gheenyi, muku salaulibhwa kweenyu.'' 15 Tasama, haki ghulu ja musosi kuli maghulu gha muntu gho aletile habali nsonga, gho alikuytangasya amani! Musyelehe kee sikukulu jeenyu; Yuda, no mutunya nasili syeenyu, kukubha mubhite alo kubha bhanila kabhili' ghafumisibhwa kabhisa.
