Na:ihame 3
1 Ninefe fi dunu ilia da ogogosu amola dunu fane legesu dawa: Amola ilia moilai bai bagade ganodini da muni amola liligi bagadewane diala. Be Ninefe da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu, amola ilima doagala: su dunu da ilia liligi huluane lidili dagomu.
Terrible things will happen to [Nineveh], that city [that is full of people who] murder [MTY] and lie. [The city is] full of things that were seized [from other countries by their soldiers]; [their armies] continually [LIT] have acted brutally towards people whom they conquered.
2 Nabima! Defasu da hosi baligia fegasa manebe ba: mu, amola hosi ilia emo da gibogibosa ahoa amola sa: liode ea emo da genenagenenasa ahoa. Sa: liode amola da hehenane dagini heheda: fuli ahoa.
But [now listen to the enemy soldiers coming to attack Nineveh]; [listen to them] cracking their whips, and [listen to the] rattle of [their chariot] wheels! [Listen to] their galloping horses and their chariots as they bounce along!
3 Gegesu dunu huluane ilia da hosi baligia gado fila heda: le gegesa manebe, amola ilia dadi amo daiya ba: su ganodini, baba gala: i hamobe agoane ba: sa. Amola ilia dunu bagohamewane medole legei amola ilia idimu hame gala, lelegela heda: i agoane ba: sa. Amola bogogia: i amo da: iya osa: gili afia: lebe ba: sa.
[Look at their] flashing swords and glittering spears as the horsemen race forward! Many [people of Nineveh will be] killed; [there will be] piles of corpses, [with the result that] people will stumble over them.
4 Ninefe amo da aie uda defele agoai ba: sa. Amaiba: le, Gode da ema se bagade iaha. Ea soge amo noga: i ba: beba: le, dunu fi ilia hawa: hamomusa: bagohamewane gilisi. Dunu fi ilia gilisiba: le, ilia da ea wadela: i hou lalegaguiba: le, lala: giba: le, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu defele ba: i.
All [that will happen] because [Nineveh is like] [MET] a beautiful prostitute [who lures men to where they will be ruined]; [Nineveh is a beautiful city] which has attracted/enticed [people of] other nations [to come there]. [The people of Nineveh] taught those people [of other nations rituals of] magic, and caused them to become their slaves.
5 Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Ninefe dunu! Na da dilima se bagade imunu. Nifawane da dilia abula gisa: mu, amola dilia da gogosiama: ne da: i nabadowane lalumu. Dunu fifi asi gala huluane da dilia gogosia: i amola da: i nabado amo ba: ma: ne Na da logo doasimu.
[So] the Commander of the armies of angels says to [the people of Nineveh]: “I am your enemy, and I will [cause the people in other] nations to see you [completely] humiliated like [MET] [women who have committed adultery are humiliated by] having their skirts lifted high, [with the result that] people can see their naked [bodies].
6 Nifawane dili da isu ha: digibi agoane ba: mu. Amola gaha huluane di da: iya ligisili dedebomu. Amo osobo bagade fi huluane ilia diliba: le bagade beda: gia: mu.
I will cause rubbish/garbage to be thrown at you; I will show [others] that I despise you very much, and I will cause you to be publicly ridiculed.
7 Be ilia dili ba: sea, ili huluane beda: ga sinidigimu. Ilia amane sia: mu, ‘Goe ba: ma Ninefe da wadela: lesi dagoi. Dunu afae da ema hamedafa asigisa, amola dunu ilia da Ninefe fi ilia dogo denesima: ne, asigi sia: hame sia: mu.’”
All those who see you will turn their backs to you and say, ‘Nineveh is ruined, but absolutely no one [RHQ] will mourn for it.’ No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!”
8 Ninefe, dia dawa: lobada, dia nimi o gasa goga da Dibisi (moilai bai bagade baligi bagade Idibidi soge ganodini) amo osobo dogone fi dunu amo ilia gasa baligibala: ? Amo soge ea da hano bagade gala. Amo Naile hano da Dibisi moilai bai bagade gilisisu amo sisiga: le disiba: le, gaga: su defele ba: i.
Your city is certainly [RHQ] no safer than Thebes [city] was. [Thebes was an important city] beside the Nile [River]; the river was [like] [SIM] a wall that protected the city [DOU].
9 Dibisi da Idibidi osobo dogone fi amola Suda: ne osobo dogone fi ouligi amola gasa bagade ba: i. Amola Libia fi ilia da gegemusa: , Dibisi amoma na: iyado fidisu hamoi.
[The rulers of] Ethiopia and Egypt helped Thebes; there was no limit to their power. [The governments of the nearby countries of] Put and Libya were also allies of Thebes.
10 Be amomane Dibisi fi amo da mugululi asi dagoi ba: i. Ilia mano da moilai bai bagade logoga fane legei dagoi ba: i. Amola ilima ha lai dunu da Dibisi mimogo dunu amo sia: ine efega la: la: gili, mugululi afugili asili, momogili ilia ha lai dunu ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hamoi dagoi.
But Thebes was captured, and [its people were] (exiled/forced to go to other countries). Their babies were dashed to pieces in the streets [of the city]. [Enemy soldiers] (cast lots/threw small marked stones) to decide who would get each official in Thebes [to become his slave]. All the leaders of Thebes were fastened/tied by chains.
11 Ninefe fi dili amola da adini mai feloabe agoai ba: mu amola dilima ha lai dunu amo sodole hobeale masasa: dawa: mu.
You [people of Nineveh] will similarly become dazed and drunk, and you will search for places to hide [to escape] from your enemies.
12 Dilia gagili sali diasu huluane da figi dulu yoi agoane ba: mu. Dunu da figi ifa ugugusia, figi dulu da faili sa: ili, ilia lafi ganodini daha.
[Your enemies will cause] the walls around your city to fall down like [SIM] the first figs that fall from fig trees [each year]. [Your city will be captured easily, like] [MET] [figs that fall] into the mouths [HYP] of those who shake the fig trees.
13 Dilia gegesu dunu da uda agoai, amola dia osobo dogone fi da gasa hame agoai galebe. Dilia soge logo ga: su huluane da dilia ha lai dunu udigili misa: ne doasi dagoi ba: sa amola dilia logo ga: su fesonoi huluane da laluga nei dagoi.
Look at your soldiers! They will be [as weak/helpless as] [MET] women! The gates of your city will be opened wide [to allow] your enemies [to enter them], [and then] the bars of those gates will be burned.
14 Dilia ha lai dunu da dilima doaga: la: musa manebeba: le, momagema: ne hano dima amola dilia gagili sali diasu huluane gasa ima: ne hamoma. Laga osobo amo daeyane magufu sagama amola gagado dafawane gagosa heda: ma.
Store up water [now to use when] your enemies surround the city! Repair the forts! Dig up clay and trample it [to make it soft], and put it into molds to make bricks [to repair the walls]!
15 Be amomane, dilia adi hamosea, dili da laluga nene bogomu amola gegene fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da danuba: ga ifa lubi na dagoi agoai dunu fi huluane ebelei dagoi ba: mu.
[Nevertheless, your enemies] will burn your [city]; they will kill you with their swords; they will kill you like [SIM] locusts [destroy crops].
16 Dilia bidiga lasu dunu ilia idi da gasumuni ilia idi baligi agoai ba: i. Be wali ilia da danuba: agoane hedofo hamone wa: le asi dagoi, amo hamedafa ba: sa.
In your [city] there are now very many merchants; [it seems that] there are more of them than there are stars. But [when your city is being destroyed, those merchants will take the valuable things and disappear] [like] [SIM] locusts that strip the leaves from plants and [then] fly away.
17 Dilia eagene ouligisu dunu da danuba: agoai galebe. Ilia da hahabe ifa lubi nanu eso diga: gala: sea wa: le ahoabe agoai, amola dunu afae da amo wa: le ahoabe sogebi hame dawa:
Your leaders are [also] like a swarm of [SIM] locusts [DOU] that crowd together on the stone fences/walls on a cold day, and [then] fly away when the sun comes up, and no one knows where they have gone.
18 Asilia hina bagade, di! Dia eagene ouligisu dunu ilia da bogoi dagoi galebe, amola dia dunu mimogo huluane da maedafa nedigima: ne golai dialebe. Dia fi dunu da huluane goumia gado afagogoi galebe, amola ili bu oule misunu dunu da hame galebe.
O King of Assyria, your officials will [all] be dead [EUP]; your important people will lie down and rest [forever]. Your people will be scattered over the mountains, and there will no one to gather them [together].
19 Gui da manoma aiya bahoma: ne gui legesu da hamedafa galebe, amola dilia fofa: gi da bahomu hamedei ba: sa. Musa: dilia da dunu huluane ilima mae asigili wadela: lesi dagoi. Dunu afae hobeale masunu hamedeiwane ba: i. Be wali Gode da dili gugunufinisi dagoi. Amola dunu huluane da amo sia: nabaloba, ilia da hahawaneba: le lobo fasa. Sia: ama dagoi
You [are like someone who] has a wound that cannot be healed; [it will be] a wound that causes him to die. And all those who hear about what has happened to you will clap their hands [joyfully]. [They will say, ] “Everyone has [RHQ] suffered because he continually was [very] cruel to us.”
