Naum 3
1 O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
Lozan’ ny tanàna mpandatsa-drà! Feno lainga sy fandozana izy; Tsy ialan-dremby ao aminy.
2 The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
Injany! ny fifiopioky ny karavasy! Ny fikorodondrodon’ ny kodia! Ny fikatrokatroky ny soavaly! Ary ny fitraitraiky ny kalesy!
3 and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies
He! ny fampiriotry ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly! Akory ny fanelatselatry ny sabatra Sy ny famirapiratry ny lefona! Indrisy ny habetsahan’ ny voatrabaka sy ny hamaroan’ ny voavono! Tsy hita isa ny faty, Eny, voafingampingan’ ny faty ny olona,
4 because of the abundance of fornication: [she is] a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.
Noho ny habiazan’ ny fijangajangan’ ikala janga tsara tarehy, Tompovavin’ ny fankatovana, Izay mivarotra firenena amin’ ny fijangajangany Sy fokom-pirenena amin’ ny fankatovany.
5 Behold, I am against you, says the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover your skirts in your presence, and I will show the nations your shame, and the kingdoms your disgrace.
Indro, hamely anao Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro; Ary haingaiko ho amin’ ny tavanao ny moron-tongotr’ akanjonao, Ka hasehoko amin’ ny firenena ny fitanjahanao Sy amin’ ny fanjakana ny fahamenaranao.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you according to your unclean ways, and will make you a public example.
Dia hotsipazako loto ianao Ka hataoko tsinontsinona, Eny, hataoko fitalanjonana ianao.
7 And it shall be [that] every one that sees you shall go down from you, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?
Arv izay rehetra mijery anao dia handositra anao Ka hanao hoe: Rava Ninive! Iza no hitomany azy? Aiza no hitadiavako izay hampionona anao?
8 Prepare you a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells amongst the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.
Tsara noho No-amona va ianao? Ilay nitoetra teo anelanelan’ ny ony Ka nohodidinin’ ny rano; Ny rano be no rovany, Ary ny rano be koa no mandany;
9 And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight [of her enemies]; and the Libyans became her helpers.
Ny Etiopiana sy ny Egyptiana no heriny, Sady tsy hita lany ireny; Ny Lydiana sy ny Libyana no mpanampy azy.
10 Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious [possessions], and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.
Nefa na izy aza dia lasa, eny, lasan-ko babo; Ny zanany madinika koa notorotoroina teny an-joron-dalambe rehetra eny; Ny olo-malazany nanaovany filokana, Ary ny lehibeny rehetra nogadrana.
11 And you shall be drunken, and shall be overlooked; and you shall seek for yourself strength because of [your] enemies.
Hianao koa ho mamo ka hiafina, Hianao koa hitady fiarovana mafy hierenao ny fahavalonao.
12 All your strongholds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
Ny manda mafinao rehetra ho tahaka ny aviavy misy voa mialin-taona: Raha hohozongozonina izy, dia hihintsana ao am-bavan’ izay hihinana aza.
13 Behold, your people within you are as women: the gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
Indro, vehivavy no olonao ao aminao; Hidiran’ ny fahavalonao no hidananan’ ny vavahadin’ ny taninao; Levon’ ny afo ny hidinao.
14 Draw you water for a siege, and well secure your strongholds: enter into the clay, and be you trodden in the chaff, make [the fortifications] stronger than brick.
Manangona rano ho anao ho an’ ny fahirano; Hamafio ny mandanao; Mirotsaha amin’ ny fotaka, ka hosihoseo ho feta, Amboary ny lafaoro fandoroam-biriky.
15 There the fire shall devour you; the sword shall utterly destroy you, it shall devour you as the locust, and you shall be pressed down as a palmerworm.
Any no handevonan’ ny afo anao Sy handripahan’ ny sabatra anao; Hohaniny toy ny fihinan’ ny valalavao ianao; Mihamaroa toy ny valalavao, Mihabetsaha toy ny valala.
16 You have multiplied your merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown away.
Nataonao betsaka noho ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra ny mpandrantonao; Mipariaka ny valalavao ka lasa manidina.
17 Your mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!
Ny andriananao dia toy ny valala, Ary ny mpifehinao dia toy ny valalavao, Izay mitoby eny amin’ ny fefy, raha mangatsiaka ny andro; Fa raha miposaka ny masoandro, dia lasa manidina izy, Ka tsy fantatra izay nalehany.
18 Your shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low your mighty men: your people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive [them].
Rendrehana ny mpiandrinao, ry mpanjakan’ i Asyria; Miampatrampatra ny lehilahy maherinao; Aely eny an-tendrombohitra ny olonao. Ka tsy misy mamory azy.
19 There is no healing for your bruise; your wound has rankled: all that hear the report of you shall clap their hands against you; for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
Tsy mety mihena ny fangirifirianao, Tsy azo sitranina ny ferinao; Izay rehetra ilazana ny nanjo anao dia hiteha-tanana anao; Fa iza no tsy efa tratry ny fandozanao mandrakariva?
