Nahum 2
1 He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress. Watch the way. Strengthen your waist. Fortify your power mightily.
Nineveh, ac mweuniyuk kom pa nge! Ku se ma ac ipsrikikomi tuku tari. Akoela mwet loang lom an! Taran inkanek an! Akola in mweun! (
2 For YHWH restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.
LEUM GOD El akola in folokonak ku ac wolana lun Israel, in oana woiyen acn we meet liki mwet lokoalok elos kunausla.)
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
Mwet lokoalok elos us mwe loeyuk srusra, Ac nukum nuknuk in mweun srusra. Elos akola in mweun! Chariot natulos sarmelik oana e uh! Horse natulos rarala in tari kasrusr!
4 The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
Chariot uh kasrla fin inkanek uh, Sasot sasma in acn mwesas infulwen siti uh. Elos kalmelik oana srokom in e, Ac yuwot yume oana sarom.
5 He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
Leum lun mwet mweun uh solsoleni. Ingyak lalos uh oru elos tukulkul. Mwet lokoalok uh kasryak nu ke kalkal uh, Ac akoela acn in sunya sak in kunausla mutunpot an.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
Mutunpot nu sisken infacl uh mulipwelik ikakla; Ac mwet inkul sin tokosra arulana tuninfongla.
7 It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
Kasra el sruhu utukla. Mwet kulansap lal elos sasao oana wuleoa Ac puok iniwalos ke asor.
8 But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. "Stop. Stop." they cry, but no one looks back.
Mwet uh kaingelik liki acn Nineveh, Oana kof ma pisrelik liki dam fokelik se, Pusra lulap se wowoyak ac fahk, “Tui! Tui!” Tusruktu wangin mwet folokla.
9 Take the spoil of silver. Take the spoil of gold, for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
Srukak kewa silver ac gold an! Siti uh sessesla Ke kain in mwe kasrup puspis!
10 She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
Acn Nineveh kunanula, mwet uh kaingelik, ac wangin ma lula we! Insialos kofelik ke sangeng, Intwelos rarrar, mutalos efla, Ac wanginla ku lalos.
11 Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion's cubs, and no one made them afraid?
Pia siti se Ma tuh oana luf in lion ah in pacl inge? Acn ma lion fusr uh tuh tohfla we, Yen lion mukul ac lion mutan uh fahsri, Ac lion fusr natultal mutana in misla?
12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, and his dens with prey.
Lion mukul uh ac uniya ma el sruokya nal, Ac eiya in ip srisrik nu sin lion mutan ac lion fusr natul. El nwakla luf sel ke ipin ikwa ma eiyuki.
13 "Look, I am against you," says YHWH of hosts, "and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard."
LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga mwet lokoalok lowos! Nga ac esukak chariot nutuwos an. Mwet mweun lowos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ac nga fah usla ma nukewa kowos tuh eisla sin mwet saya. Sap ku su mwet utuk kas lowos tuh tafwekowos in fahkak ac fah tia sifil lohngyuk.”
