< Nahum 3 >
1 Alas for the city of bloodshed! All of it, deceit, of violence full, none releaseth prey!
Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga! Waayo, dhammaanteed waxaa ka buuxa been iyo dhac, oo boobkuna iyada kama dhammaado.
2 The sound of the whip, and the sound of the rushing wheel, —and horse galloping, and dancing chariot rattling along.
Oo waxaa ka buuxa dhawaaqa karbaashka, iyo dhawaaqa giraangiraha qablamaya, iyo fardo qoobqaadaya, iyo gaadhifardoodyo boodboodaya,
3 Horsemen uplifting both the flashing sword, and the lightning spear, Aye, a mass of slain, and a weight of dead bridles, —and no end of corpses, so that they stumble upon their corpses.
iyo fardooley hor u socda, iyo seef dhalaalaysa, iyo waran birbirqaya, iyo dad badan oo la laayay, iyo bakhti faro badan oo iskor tuulsan, oo meydadkuna innaba dhammaad ma leh, oo waa lagu turunturoodaan meydadkooda,
4 Because of the multitude of the unchaste doings of the unchaste one, fair in grace, mistress of secret arts, —who hath been selling nations by her unchaste doings, families by her secret arts,
maxaa yeelay, waa dhillanimadii faraha badnayd oo ay fashay dhilladii aad loo jeclaa oo ah sayidaddii sixirrada, oo quruumo ku iibisa dhillanimadeeda, oo reerona ku iibisa sixirradeeda.
5 Behold me! against thee, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, Therefore will I remove thy shirts over thy face, —and let, nations, see thy nakedness, and, kingdoms, thy shame;
Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, col baan kula ahay, oo gogaradahaagana waan kaa feydi doonaa oo wejigaan kuu saari doonaa, oo waxaan quruumaha tusi doonaa cawradaada, boqortooyooyinkana ceebtaada.
6 And I will cast upon thee abominable filth, and treat thee as foolish, —and set thee as a gazing-stock.
Oo wasakh baan korkaaga ku tuuri doonaa, oo ceeb baan ku saari doonaa, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa wax lagu dhaygago.
7 And it shall come to pass that, all who see thee, shall flee from thee, and shall say, Destroyed is Nineveh! Who will bemoan her?—Whence shall I seek any to comfort thee?
Oo waxay noqon doontaa in kuwa ku fiiriya oo dhammu ay kaa cararaan oo ay yidhaahdaan, Nineweh waa la baabbi'iyey, bal yaa iyada u barooran doona? Xaggee baanse kuwa u tacsiyeeya uga doonaa?
8 Art thou better than No-amon, who sat among the Nile-streams, waters round about her, —whose fortress was the sea, from the sea, her wall.
Bal adigu miyaad ka wanaagsan tahay Noo Aamoon, taasoo webiyada dhexdooda ku jirtay, oo ay biyuhu ku hareeraysnaayeen, oo dhufayskeedu u badda ahaa, derbigeeduna u badda ahaa?
9 Ethiopia, was her strength, and Egypt—Yea, without end, —Put and Lubim, were among thy helpers.
Itoobiya iyo Masar waxay ahaayeen xooggeeda aan dhammaadka lahayn, oo reer Fuud iyo reer Luubiimna waxay ahaayeen kuwii u hiilin jiray.
10 Yet, she, was given up to exile, she went into captivity, even her babes, were dashed to the ground, at the head of all the streets, —and, for her honourable men, cast they lots, and, all her great men, were bound together in chains.
Habase yeeshee iyadii waa la kaxaystay oo maxaabiis ahaan baa loo watay, oo dhallaankeediina dhulkaa lagaga tuuray jidadka rukummadooda oo dhan, oo nimankeedii sharafta lahaa saami baa loo ritay, oo raggeedii waaweynaa oo dhanna silsilado baa lagu xidhay.
11 Thou too, shalt be drunken, thou shalt hide thyself, —thou too, shalt seek shelter from the foe:
Oo weliba adigu waad sakhraami doontaa oo waad qarsoonaan doontaa, adiguna cadowga aawadiis dufays baad doondooni doontaa.
12 All thy fortresses, shall be fig-trees with first-ripe figs: if thy be shaken, then shall [the fruit] fall on the mouth of the eater.
Qalcadahaaga oo dhammu waxay noqon doonaan sida geedo berde ah oo midho hore u bislaaday ku yaalliin, oo haddii la ruxruxo waxay ku soo daatan kan wax cuna afkiisa.
13 Lo! thy people, are women, in thy midst, to thy foes, have been set wide open the gates of thy and, —a fire, hath devoured, thy bars.
Bal eeg, dadkaaga ku dhex jooga waa dumar, oo irdaha dalkaaguna waa u bannaan yihiin cadaawayaashaada, oo qataaradaadiina dab baa baabbi'iyey.
14 Siege-water, draw for thyself, strengthen thy fortresses, —go into the clay, and tread thou the mortar, make strong the brick.
Biyo u soo dhaanso hareeraynta aawadeed, oo qalcadahaagana adkee. Dhoobada dhex gal, oo dhigada ku joogjoogso, oo xoog u yeel meesha lebenka lagu dubo.
15 There, shall a fire devour thee, the sword, shall cut thee off, it shall devour thee like the grass locust, make thyself numerous like the grass locust, make thyself numerous as the swarming locust:
Halkaasaa dab kugu laasan doona, oo seef baa ku baabbi'in doonta, oo waxay kuu dhammayn doontaa sida koronkorro, bal isu badi sidii koronkorro oo kale, oo sidii ayax oo kale isu badi.
16 Though thou have multiplied thy foot-soldiers beyond the stars of the heavens, the grass locust, hath stript itself and flown away!
Baayacmushtariyaashaadii waxaad ka sii badisay xiddigaha samada, koronkorraduse intay wax cunto bay iska duushaa.
17 Thy mercenary crowds, are like the swarming locust, and, thy mixed multitudes, like locusts—swarms of locusts, —which settle in the hedges on a cold day, the sun, hath broken forth, and they are in flight, and unknown is the place where they are!
Kuwaaga taajka lahu waa sidii ayax oo kale, oo karraaniyaashaaduna waa sidii kobojaan raxan ah, kaasoo maalintii qabow xaydaanka dhex dega, laakiinse kolkii qorraxdu soo baxdo way iska cararaan, oo meeshay joogaan lama yaqaan.
18 Asleep are thy shepherds, O king of Assyria, thy nobles, must needs rest. Scattered are thy people upon the mountains, and there is none to gather them.
Boqorkii Ashuurow, adhijirradaadii lulo baa haysa, geesiyaashaadii way nasanayaan, dadkaagii wuxuu ku kala firidhsan yahay buuraha dushooda, oo wax iyaga soo ururiyana lama arko.
19 No lessening of thine injury, grievous is thy wound, —all who have heard the report of thee, have clapped their hands over thee, for, upon whom, hath not thy cruelty passed without ceasing?
Nabarkaagu bogsan maayo, dhaawacaaguna aad buu u xun yahay, oo kuwa warkaaga maqla oo dhammuba way kugu sacab tumaan, waayo, bal waa kuma kan aanay xumaantaadu had iyo goorba gaadhin?
