Naum 2
1 It is all over with him, he has been removed, [one] who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into your presence, watch the way, strengthen [your] loins, be very valiant in [your] strength.
U A pii mai ka mea luku imua o kou alo; E malama i kahi paa, e kiai i ke ala, E kaei i na puhaka, E hookupaa loa i ka ikaika.
2 For the Lord has turned aside the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: for they have utterly rejected them, and have destroyed their branches.
No ka mea, ua hoihoi mai o Iehova i ka nani o Iakoba, e like me ka nani o Iseraela, No ka mea, ua luku aku ka poe luku ia lakou, A ua hookai lakou i ka lakou mau lala waina.
3 [They have destroyed] the arms of their power from amongst men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots [shall be destroyed] in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion
O ka palekaua o ka poe ikaika, ua ulaula. A o na kanaka koa, ua kahikoia lakou i ke kapa ulaula: Me ka wakawaka o na kila o na halekaa i ka la o kona hoomakaukau aua, A e haalulu na ihe paina.
4 in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.
A e holo kiki na halekaa ma na alanui; Holo lakou ma o ma o, ma na ala palahalaha, Like ko lakou ikeia'na me na lamaku, A holo lakou me he uwila la.
5 And their mighty men shall bethink themselves and flee by day; and they shall be weak as they go; and they shall hasten to her walls, and shall prepare their defences.
Hoomanao no oia i kona poe ikaika; E hina lakou i ko lakou hele ana, A holo lakou i kona papohaku, A e hoomakaukauia kahi e uhi ai.
6 The gates of the cities have been opened, and the palaces have fallen into ruin,
A e weheia na pukapa o na muliwai, A e hehee iho ko ka halealii, a ua hookupaaia;
7 and the foundation has been exposed; and she has gone up, and her maidservants were led [away] as doves moaning in their hearts.
A ua weheia kona kapa, a alakaiia'ku ia, A o kana poe kauwawahine e u ana, e like me ka leo o na manu nunu, e hahau ana i ko lakou umauma.
8 And [as for] Nineve, her waters [shall be] as a pool of water: and they fled, and staid not, and there was none to look back.
A ua like o Nineva me he kiowai la, mai ka manawa mamua mai; Aka, e holo aku no lakou. E ku oukou, e ku! aohe mea e nana ihope,
9 They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no end of their adorning; they were loaded [with it] upon all their pleasant vessels.
E lawe aku oukou i ke kala, e lawe aku i ke gula: Aole he hope no ka waiwai, no ka nani, a me kona mau mea maikai a pau.
10 [There is] thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart-breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all [are] as the blackening of a pot.
Ua nele, ua neoneo, a ua lukuia oia: Ua hehee ka naau, ua palupalu na kuli, A he haalulu ma na puhaka a pau, A ke nananakea na maka a pau.
11 Where is the dwelling-place of the lions, and the pasture that belonged to the whelps? where did the lion go, that the lion's whelp should enter in there, and there was none to scare [him] away?
Auhea ka noho ana o na liona; A mahea la kahi e ai ai na liona opio; Kahi i hele ai ka liona, ka liona wahine, A me ke keiki liona, aohe mea nana lakou e hoomakau;
12 The lion seized enough prey for his whelps, and strangled for his [young] lions, and filled his lair with prey, and his dwelling-place with spoil.
Ua haehae ka liona a nui no kana poe keiki, A uumi no ia no kana liona wahine, A hoopiha no ia i kona mau lua i ka mea pio, a i kona mau ana i ka mea i laweia.
13 Behold, I am against you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up your multitude in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your lions; and I will utterly destroy your prey from off the land, and your deeds shall no more at all be heard of.
Aia hoi, ua maka e aku au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A e puhi aku au i kona mau halekaa iloko o ka uahi, A e luku aku ka pahikaua i kau mau liona opiopio; A e oki aku au i kou mea pio mai ka honua aku, Aole loa e lohe hou ia ka leo o kau mau elele.
