Naum 3
1 O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
Ègbé ni fún ìlú ẹ̀jẹ̀ nì, gbogbo rẹ̀ kún fún èké, ó kún fún olè, ìjẹ kò kúrò!
2 The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
Ariwo pàṣán àti ariwo kíkùn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun àti jíjó ẹṣin àti gbígbọn kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun jìgìjìgì!
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
Ológun orí ẹṣin ń fi ìgbónára ju idà wọn mọ̀nàmọ́ná ọ̀kọ̀ rẹ̀ ti ń dán yanran sí òkè! Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ si ní àwọn ẹni tí a pa, àti ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ òkú; òkú kò sì ni òpin; àwọn ènìyàn sì ń kọsẹ̀ lára àwọn òkú.
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.
Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ panṣágà àgbèrè tí ó rójú rere gbà, ìyá àjẹ́ tí ó ṣọ́ àwọn Orílẹ̀-èdè di ẹrú nípa àgbèrè rẹ̀ àti àwọn ìdílé nípa ìṣe àjẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
“Èmi dojúkọ ọ́,” ni Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wí. “Èmi ó si ká aṣọ àwọ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ rẹ ní ojú rẹ. Èmi yóò sì fi ìhòhò rẹ̀ han àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè àti ìtìjú rẹ̀ han àwọn ilẹ̀ ọba.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon you according to your unclean ways, and will make you a public example.
Èmi yóò da ẹ̀gbin tí ó ni ìríra sí ọ ní ara, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di aláìmọ́, èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di ẹlẹ́yà.
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?
Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ba sì wò ọ́ yóò sì káàánú fún ọ, wọn yóò sì wí pé, ‘Ninefe ṣòfò, ta ni yóò kẹ́dùn rẹ?’ Níbo ni èmi o ti wá olùtùnú fún ọ?”
8 Prepare you a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.
Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha sàn ju Tebesi lọ, èyí tí ó wà ní ibi odò Naili, tí omi sì yí káàkiri? Odò náà sì jẹ́ ààbò rẹ̀, omi si jẹ́ odi rẹ̀.
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.
Etiopia àti Ejibiti ni agbára rẹ, kò sí ní òpin; Puti àti Libia ni àwọn olùgbèjà rẹ̀.
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.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ a kó o ní ìgbèkùn o sì lọ sí oko ẹrú. Àwọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ́ rẹ̀ ni a ó fọ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní orí ìta gbogbo ìgboro. Wọ́n sì di ìbò nítorí àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ̀ ọkùnrin, gbogbo àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ ni a sì fi ẹ̀wọ̀n dè.
11 And you shall be drunken, and shall be overlooked; and you shall seek for yourself strength because of [your] enemies.
Ìwọ pẹ̀lú yóò sì mu àmupara; a ó sì fi ọ́ pamọ́ ìwọ pẹ̀lú yóò máa ṣe àfẹ́rí ààbò nítorí ti ọ̀tá náà.
12 All your strongholds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
Gbogbo ilé ìṣọ́ agbára rẹ yóò dàbí igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ pẹ̀lú àkọ́pọ́n èso wọn; nígbà tí wọ́n bá ń gbọ̀n wọ́n, ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ yóò sì bọ́ sí ẹnu àwọn ọ̀jẹun.
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.
Kíyèsi gbogbo àwọn jagunjagun! Obìnrin ni gbogbo wọn. Ojú ibodè rẹ ní a ó ṣí sílẹ̀ gbagada, fún àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ; iná yóò jó ọ̀pá ìdábùú ìlẹ̀kùn ibodè rẹ.
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.
Pọn omi nítorí ìhámọ́, mú ilé ìṣọ́ rẹ lágbára sí i wọ inú amọ̀ kí o sì tẹ erùpẹ̀, kí ó sì tún ibi tí a ti ń sun bíríkì-amọ̀ ṣe kí ó le.
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.
Níbẹ̀ ni iná yóò ti jó ọ́ run; idà yóò sì ké ọ kúrò, yóò sì jẹ ọ́ bí i kòkòrò, yóò sì sọ ara rẹ̀ di púpọ̀ bí i tata, àní, di púpọ̀ bí eṣú!
16 You have multiplied your merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown away.
Ìwọ ti sọ àwọn oníṣòwò rẹ di púpọ̀ títí wọn yóò fi pọ̀ ju ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run lọ, ṣùgbọ́n bi eṣú ni wọn yóò sọ ilẹ̀ náà di ahoro, wọn yóò sì fò lọ.
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!
Àwọn aládé rẹ̀ dàbí eṣú, àwọn ọ̀gágun rẹ dàbí ẹlẹ́ǹgà ńlá, èyí tí ń dó sínú ọgbà ni ọjọ́ òtútù, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí oòrùn jáde, wọ́n sálọ, ẹnìkan kò sì mọ ibi tí wọ́n gbé wà.
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].
Ìwọ ọba Asiria, àwọn olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rẹ̀ ń tòògbé; àwọn ọlọ́lá rẹ dùbúlẹ̀ láti sinmi. Àwọn ènìyàn rẹ fọ́nká lórí àwọn òkè ńlá, tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò sì kó wọn jọ.
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?
Kò sì sí ohun tí ó lè wo ọgbẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ sàn; ọgbẹ́ rẹ kún fún ìrora, Gbogbo ẹni tí ó bá sì gbọ́ ìròyìn rẹ yóò pàtẹ́wọ́ lé ọ lórí, nítorí ta ni kò ní pín nínú ìwà búburú rẹ ti kò ti lópin.
