< Nahum 2 >

1 He has come up [one who] scatters on face your guard [the] fortification watch [the] road strengthen [the] loins make strong strength exceedingly.
Misy mpanorotoro miakatra hamely anao Ambeno ny manda, Tazano ny lalana, Hatanjaho ny valahanao, Hetseho mafy ny herinao!
2 For he will restore Yahweh [the] majesty of Jacob like [the] majesty of Israel for they have laid waste to them [those who] lay waste and branches their they have destroyed.
Fa Jehovah efa mampody ny voninahitr’ i Jakoba, Toy ny ampodiany ny voninahitr’ Isiraely; Fa ny mpandroba efa nandroba azy Ary nanimba ny sampam-boalobony.
3 [the] shield of Warriors his [is] dyed red men of strength [are] clothed in scarlet [are] in fire of iron the chariotry on [the] day prepares he and the cypresses they have been made to quiver.
Nomenaina ny ampingan’ ny lehilahy maheriny, Mitafy jaky ny miaramilany, Ny kalesiny dia misy vy mahery, mamirapiratra toy ny afo, amin’ ny andro fiomanany, Ary antsodina ny lefona.
4 In the streets they drive madly the chariotry they rush around! in the open places appearance their [are] like torches like lightning flashes they run around.
Ampiezahina eny an-dalambe ny kalesy Ka mifanaretsadretsaka eny an-kalalahana; Tahaka ny harendrina no fijery azy, Mitsoriaka tahaka ny helatra izy.
5 He remembers nobles his they stumble (on journey their *Q(K)*) they hurry wall its and it is prepared the cover.
Tsaroany ny lehilahy malazany, Kanjo tafintohina eny am-pandehanana ireny; Mihazakazaka ho any amin’ ny manda ireny, Kanjo efa voatsangana sahady ny hamelezana azy.
6 [the] gates of The rivers they have been opened and the palace it has melted away.
Vohana ny vavahadin-drenirano, Ary reraka ny lapa.
7 And it has been fixed it was uncovered it was taken away and maidservants its [are] moaning like [the] sound of doves [they are] beating on hearts their.
Izao no voatendry: ampitanjahina izy, dia lasan-ko babo, Ary ny ankizivavy mitoloko azy manao feom-boromailala Sady miteha-tratra.
8 And Nineveh [was] like a pool of water from [the] days of it and they [are] fleeing stop stop and there not [is one who] turns back.
Fa Ninive dia tahaka ny farihy hatrizay nisiany; Nefa handositra ihany ireny, Mijanòna, mijanòna e! Nefa tsy misy miherika.
9 Plunder silver plunder gold and there not [is] an end to the supply abundance from every article of preciousness.
Mamaboa volafotsy, Mamaboa volamena! Fa tsy hita lany ny rakitra soa, Dia ny habetsahan’ ny fanaka mahafinaritra rehetra.
10 Emptiness and emptiness and devastation and heart [is] melting and [are] tottering knees and anguish [is] in all loins and [the] faces of all of them they have gathered a glow.
Indrisy! foana, eny, foana sady lao! Kivy ny fo, miady ny lohalika, Manaintaina ny valahany rehetra, Mivaloarika ny tarehiny rehetra.
11 Where? [is the] dwelling place of lions and [is] pasture it for young lions where it walked lion lioness there cub of lion and there not [was one who] disturbed [them].
Aiza ilay lavaky ny liona sy firemben’ ny liona tanora? Ilay nandehanan’ ny liona sy ny liom-bavy mbamin’ ny zana-diona, Ka tsy nisy nanaitaitra azy,
12 [the] lion [was] tearing For [the] sufficiency of cubs its and [was] strangling for lionesses its and it filled prey hole its and dens its torn flesh.
Dia ilay liona namotipotika izay ampy ho an’ ny zanany Ary nanenda ho an’ ny liombaviny Sady nameno haza ny lavany Sy toha ny fonenany.
13 Here I [am] against you [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will burn in smoke chariotry its and young lions your it will consume [the] sword and I will cut off from [the] earth prey your and not it will be heard again [the] voice of messengers your.
Indro, hamely anao Aho, hoy Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Holevoniko ho setroka ny kalesinao Ary hovonoiko sabatra ny liona tanoranao; Hofonganako amin’ ny tany ny hazanao; Ka tsy ho re intsony ny feon’ ny irakao.
