Nahum 2
1 One who scatters advances against you, O Nineveh. Guard the fortress! Watch the road! Brace yourselves! Summon all your strength!
Umayen ti tao a mangrebbek kenka. Bantayam dagiti pader ti siudad, guardiaam dagiti dalan, papigsaem ta bagim, ummongem dagiti armadam.
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.
Ta isubsubli ni Yahweh ti kinatan-ok ni Jacob, kas iti kinatan-ok ti Israel, uray dinadael ida dagiti mangsamsamsam ken dinadaelda dagiti sanga ti ubasda.
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.
Nalabbaga dagiti kalasag dagiti maingel a tattaona, ken nakakawes iti nalabbaga dagiti natutured a lallaki; agraniag dagiti landok ti karwahe iti aldaw a panagsaganada, ken naiwaradiwad iti tangatang dagiti sipres a gayang.
4 The chariots dash through the streets; they rush around the plazas, appearing like torches, darting about like lightning.
Napegges ti panagtaray dagiti karwahe kadagiti kalsada; agdardarasda nga agsubli-subli kadagiti nalawa a kalkalsada. Kasdala dagiti pagsilawan ken agtatarayda a kasla kimat.
5 He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
Ay-ayaban ti tao a mangrebbek kenka dagiti opisyalna; maitublakda iti tunggal maysa iti pannagnada; agdardarasda a mangraut iti pader ti siudad. Naisaganan ti dakkel a kalasag a mangsalaknib kadagitoy a mangraraut.
6 The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
Napilit a nailukat dagiti ruangan kadagiti karayan, ket nadadael ti palasio.
7 It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
Naussoban ti pagan-anay ti reyna ken naitalaw; agas-asug dagiti adipenna a babbai a kasla dagiti kalapati, dandanugenda dagiti barukongda.
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.
Ti Ninive ket kasla naisawang a danum, a kasla napegges a danum nga agliblibas dagiti tattaona. Ipukpukkaw dagiti dadduma, “Agsardengkayo, agsardengkayo,” ngem awan ti tumalyaw.
9 “Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
Alaenyo ti nasamsam a pirak, alaenyo ti nasamsam a balitok, gapu ta awan patingga daytoy, ti dayag dagiti amin a napipintas a banbanag ti Nineve.
10 She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and laid waste! Hearts melt, knees knock, bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
Langalang ken nadadael ti Nineve. Marunaw ti puso iti tunggal maysa, agtitim-og dagiti tumtumeng ti tunggal maysa, ken adda ladingit iti tunggal maysa; pimmusyaw amin dagiti rupada.
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?
Sadino ngay itan ti rukib ti leon, ti lugar a pangpanganan dagiti urbon a leon, ti lugar a pagpagnaan ti leon ken ti kabaian a leon, agraman dagiti urbon a leon, no sadino ket awan ti pagbutbutnganda?
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.
Rinangrangkay ti leon ti natiliwna para kadagiti annakna; Binekkelna dagiti natiliwna a maipaay iti kabaian a leon, ken pinunnona ti rukibna kadagiti natiliwna, ken ti rukibna kadagiti narangrangkay a natay a bagi ti ayup.
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.”
“Kitaem, bimmusorak kenka”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Uramekto dagiti karwahem iti asuk, ken alun-onento ti kampilan dagiti urbon a leonmo. Pukawekto ti sinamsammo manipud iti dagam, ken saanton a mangngegan pay dagiti timek dagiti mensaherom.”
