< Nahum 2 >
1 A scatterer has come up to your face, Keep the bulwark, watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily.
तँलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुहुने तेरो विरुद्धमा आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । सहरहरूका पर्खालहरूमा मानिसहरू खटाओ, बाटोहरूलाई पहरा देओ, आफैँलाई बलिया बनाओ, आफ्ना सेनाहरूलाई एकठ्ठा गर ।
2 For YHWH has turned back to the excellence of Jacob, As [to] the excellence of Israel, For emptiers have emptied them out, And they have marred their branches.
लुटेराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तहस-नहस गरे तापनि, र तिनीहरूका दाखका हाँगाहरूलाई नष्ट गरे तापनि, परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको गौरवझैँ याकूबको गौरव पुनर्स्थापित गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
3 The shield of his mighty ones has become red, Men of might [are in] scarlet, With fiery torches [is] the chariot in a day of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble.
त्यसका शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूका रक्षा कवचहरू राता छन्, र त्यसका सैनिकहरू वैजनी रङ्गका पोशाकमा छन् । तिनीहरूका रथहरू तयार भएका दिनमा तिनीहरूका धातुद्धारा चम्किन्छन्, र सल्लोका भालाहरू हावामा लहराइन्छन् ।
4 In out-places the chariots shine, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As lightnings they run.
ती रथहरू सडकहरूबाट तीव्र गतिमा अगि बढ्छन्, फराकिला सडकहरूमा ती अगाडि र पछाडि दौडन्छन् । तिनीहरू राँकाझैँ देखिन्छन्, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीझैँ दौडन्छन् ।
5 He remembers his majestic ones, They stumble in their goings, They hurry [to] its wall, And the covering is prepared.
तँलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूलाई बोलाउँछ, तर तिनीहरू हिँड्ने क्रममा एक आपसमा ठेस खाई लड्छन् । तिनीहरू सहरको पर्खाललाई आक्रमण गर्न हतारिन्छन् । यी आक्रमण गर्नेहरूलाई बचाउनको निम्ति ठुलो रक्षा कवच बनाइन्छ ।
6 Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is dissolved.
नदीका बाँधहरू खुला पारिन्छन्, र दरबारचाहिँ नाश हुनेछ ।
7 And it is established—she has removed, She has been brought up, And her handmaids are leading as the voice of doves, Tabering on their hearts.
हुज्जाबका वस्त्र फुकालिएकाछन् र त्यो निर्वासनमा लगिनेछे । त्यसका कमारीहरू छाती पिट्दै ढुकुरहरूझैँ विलाप गर्छन् ।
8 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is]—and they are fleeing! “Stand, stand”; and none is turning!
निनवे चुहिरहेको पोखरीझैँ हो, जसका मानिसहरू जोडले बगिरहेको पानीझैँ भागिरहेका छन् । अरूहरूले ठुलो सोरमा भन्छन्, “रोक, रोक,” तर कसैले पनि पछि फर्केर हेर्दैन ।
9 Seize silver, seize gold, And there is no end to the prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels.
चाँदी र सुनका लुटका सामान लेओ, किनभने निनवेका सबै सुन्दर कुराहरूका वैभवको कुनै अन्त्य छैन ।
10 She is empty, indeed, emptiness and waste, And the heart has melted, And the knees have struck together, And great pain [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.
निनवे रित्तो र नष्ट भएको छ । सबैका हृदय पग्लिन्छन्, सबैका घुँडाहरू एक आपसमा ठोकिन्छन्, र पीडा सबैमा छ, तिनीहरू सबैका अनुहारहरू पहेँला छन् ।
11 Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions Where a lion has walked, an old lion, A lion’s whelp, and there is none troubling.
सिंहको गुफा, जहाँ जवान सिंहहरूलाई खुवाइन्थ्यो, जहाँ सिंह र सिंहनी आफ्ना डमरुहरूसँग हिँड्थे, जहाँ तिनीहरू कोहीसँग डराउँदैनथे, त्यो ठाउँ कहाँ छ?
12 The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, And is strangling for his lionesses, And he fills his holes [with] prey, And his habitations [with] torn flesh.
सिंहले आफ्ना डमरुहरूका निम्ति त्यसका शिकारहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा गर्यो । त्यसले आफ्ना सिंहनीहरूका निम्ति शिकारको घाँटी निमोठी मार्यो, र आफ्नो गुफालाई शिकारहरूले, र आफ्नो ओडारलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिएका सिनुहरूले भर्यो ।
13 “Behold, I [am] against you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And I have burned its chariot in smoke, And a sword consumes your young lions, And I have cut off your prey from the land, And the voice of your messengers is not heard anymore!”
सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु । म तेरा रथहरूलाई जलाएर धुँवा बनाउनेछु र तेरा जवान सिंहहरूलाई तरवारले नष्ट पार्नेछ । तेरो भुमिबाट तेरो शिकारलाई म हटाइदिनेछु र तेरा समाचारबाहकहरूका आवाज अब कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन ।”
