Nahum 2
1 HE that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
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 hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine 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 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
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 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the 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 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
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 rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
A e weheia na pukapa o na muliwai, A e hehee iho ko ka halealii, a ua hookupaaia;
7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
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 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall 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 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
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 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
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 of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?
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 did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
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 thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
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.
