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.
