< Nahum 2 >

1 One who scatters advances against you, O Nineveh. Guard the fortress! Watch the road! Brace yourselves! Summon all your strength!
Ninefe fi! Dawa: ma! Doagala: su da doaga: i dagoi! Dilima wadela: mu gasa bagade da doaga: i dagoi! Moilai bai bagadega gaga: musa: , gegesu liligi noga: le gaguma! Logo amo noga: le sosodo ouligima! Gegemusa: gini momagema!
2 For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and ruined the branches of their vine.
(Musa: Isala: ili fi ilima ha lai da ilia liligi noga: i amo huluane gaguli asi. Be amomane waha Hina Gode da bu Isala: ili fi gado gaguia gadomu, musa: hamoi amo defele.)
3 The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished.
Ha lai dadi gagui dunu ilia yoi da: igene ga: su gaguli maha. Ilia afaedidi abula amola da yoi gala. Ilia da doagala: musa: momagelala. Ilia sa: liode da hanu nei agoai amola ha: ha: na gala: i agoai hamoi. Amola hosi ilia hehenaia manebe.
4 The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning.
Sa: liode fila heda: i dunu ilia logoga hehenaia dunu gilisiba amogai ahoa. Ilia da moilai bagade logo ganodini asili, sinidigili nimiwane doula ahoa. Amo huluane da hanu nei agoane amola ha: ha: na bagade gala: i agoane hamoi.
5 He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
Ilia da dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilima misa: ne sia: sa. Amo da ba: le gusuli ahoasea ilia da emo gigiawale dafafane ahoa. Amola doagala: su dunu da moilai bai bagade gaga: su dobea amoga hehenane, dobea muguluma: ne fudulu damui amo gaga: ma: ne gadodili gaga: su hamosa.
6 The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
Hano gadenene logo ga: i amo goudasa amola logo duiwane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, dunu hina bagade ea diasu ganodini esalu amo huluane beda: igia: sa.
7 It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
Ilia da hina bagade idua amo gagulaligisa. Amola ea udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini ilia bagade asigili didigia: sa amola dafe sio agoane gogonomasa. Ilia bagade asigiba: le ilila: bida: igia medosa lelu.
8 Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.
Ninefe fi da hano hihiga: i fili asi defele, moilai bai bagade yolesili, hehenane gadili ahoa. Be oda ilia ha: giwane wesa, “Aligima! Aligima!” Be afae da hamedafa sinidigisa.
9 “Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
Gegesu dunu da gilisili sia: wesa, “Silifa amola gouli amo huluane ladima! Moilai bai bagade da amoga nabaidafa!”
10 She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and laid waste! Hearts melt, knees knock, bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
Ninefe fi da wadela: lesi dagoi, soge hafoga: i agoai, dunu da huluane hobea: i dagoi. Ilia dogo ganodini bagadewane beda: i amogawane muguni dudugini sa: i, amola gasa hame amola odagi da maga: me gasa: ga: la: i.
11 Where is the lions’ lair or the feeding ground of the young lions, where the lion and lioness prowled with their cubs, with nothing to frighten them away?
12 The lion mauled enough for its cubs and strangled prey for the lioness. It filled its dens with the kill, and its lairs with mauled prey.
Musa: da goe osobo dogone fi bagade amo ea nimi da laione wa: me ea gasa agoai galu, be amomane waha da hame. Musa: Ninefe moilai bai bagade amo da laione wa: me mano ilia wamoaligisu amoga ilia da ohe hu nasu, agoai galu. Amola laione wa: me fi gawali amola aseme gilisili, ilia wamoaligisuga asili, amoga elea mano gaga: iwane esalebe ba: i. Laione wa: me ea da ohe bagade ga: ne nasu dawa: amo isole ea gawali amola mano iligili iasu, amola ea wamoaligisu da ohe hu amoga nabai ba: i. Be amomane moilai bai bagade da habi dianabela: ? Amo da wadela: lesi dagoi.
13 “Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will send your chariots up in smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
Hina Gode Bagadedafa E da Ninefe fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Nifawane Ni dilima ha lai. Amola Nifawane da dilia sa: liode huluane gobele salimu. Amo dadi gagui huluane da gegenana fane legei ba: mu. Nifawane da liligi dunu ilia ladi amo bu Ni huluane ladimu. Dilia eagene sia: adole iasu dunu amo ilia sia: , dunu eno da hame nabimu.”
