< Nahum 2 >

1 to ascend: rise scatterer upon face of your to watch fortress to watch way: road to strengthen: strengthen loin to strengthen strength much
Nou menm moun lavil Niniv, men yon gwo lame ap moute vin atake nou. Mete gad nan fò nou. Mete moun veye gran chemen an! Mare ren nou! Mete tout kouraj nou sou nou!
2 for to return: rescue LORD [obj] pride Jacob like/as pride Israel for to empty them to empty and branch their to ruin
Paske, Seyè a pral bay pèp Izrayèl la pouvwa li te gen anvan an, pouvwa fanmi Jakòb la te gen anvan piyajè yo te ravaje l' la, anvan yo te koupe tout branch rezen li yo.
3 shield mighty man his to redden human strength: soldiers to clothe in scarlet in/on/with fire iron [the] chariot in/on/with day to establish: prepare he and [the] cypress to quiver
Vanyan sòlda l' yo gen plak pwotèj pentire tou wouj sou bra yo. Yo abiye ak rad wouj violèt. Cha lagè yo klere kou dife! Y'ap vin pou atake nou! Y'ap souke zam yo nan men yo.
4 in/on/with outside to boast: rave madly [the] chariot to rush [emph?] in/on/with street/plaza appearance their like/as torch like/as lightning to run: run
Cha lagè yo ap vini ak gwo vitès nan plenn yo. Yo kouri ale sou plas piblik yo. Yo klere tankou bwa chandèl tou limen. Y'ap pase kouri tankou zèklè.
5 to remember great his to stumble (in/on/with walk their *Q(K)*) to hasten wall her and to establish: establish [the] protector
Yo chonje rele chèf lame yo. Nan prese vini yo, yonn ap frape ak lòt. Yo kouri ale bò miray ranpa yo. Yo pare plak pwotèj pou y' al defonse pòtay yo.
6 gate [the] river to open and [the] temple: palace to melt
Pòtay ki bay sou larivyè a louvri granbatan. Tout moun nan palè a gen kè kase.
7 and to stand to reveal: uncover to ascend: establish and maidservant her to moan like/as voice dove to beat upon heart their
Yo fè larenn lan prizonye. Yo pati avè l'. Sèvant li yo ap plenn, y'ap kriye. Y'ap bat lestonmak yo sitèlman yo nan lapenn.
8 and Nineveh like/as pool water from day he/she/it and they(masc.) to flee to stand: stand to stand: stand and nothing to turn
Tankou yon gwo basen plen dlo ki pete, moun yo ap kouri soti lavil Niniv. Y'ap di yo: Rete non! Rete non! Men, yonn pa vire tounen.
9 to plunder silver: money to plunder gold and nothing end to/for fitting glory from all article/utensil desire
Piye tout lajan an. Piye tout lò yo. Yo gen yon richès ki poko prèt pou fini, yon pakèt bèl bagay ki koute chè.
10 emptiness and emptiness and to waste and heart to melt and tottering knee and anguish in/on/with all loin and face of all their to gather pale
Yo piye lavil la. Yo touye tout moun ladan l'. Yo devaste l' nèt. Moun pèdi kouraj yo. Jenou yo ap tranble. Yo pa gen fòs pou rete kanpe. Figi yo dekonpoze.
11 where? habitation lion and pasture he/she/it to/for lion which to go: went lion lion there whelp lion and nothing to tremble
Koulye a, kote twou kachèt lyon yo ye a, twou nich kote ti lyon yo manje a, twou kote lyon yo ansanm ak ti lyon yo te konn ale pou pesonn pa ka fè yo anyen an?
12 lion to tear in/on/with sufficiency whelp his and to strangle to/for lion his and to fill prey hole his and habitation his torn animal
Lyon an te konn dechire vyann bèt yo pou pitit li yo, li te konn trangle bèt pou fenmèl lyon yo. Lè konsa yo plen twou yo ak bèt yo pran, yo plen nich yo ak moso vyann dechikete.
13 look! I to(wards) you utterance LORD Hosts and to burn: burn in/on/with smoke chariot her and lion your to eat sword and to cut: cut from land: country/planet prey your and not to hear: hear still voice messenger your
Koulye a, se mwen menm k'ap regle ak nou! Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a menm ki di sa. Moun pral boule tout cha lagè nou yo nan dife. Nan lagè a, m'ap fè yo touye tout jenn ti lyon nou yo. M'ap rache nan men nou tou sa nou te pran lakay lòt yo. Yo p'ap janm tande vwa delege nou yo ankò nan okenn peyi sou latè.
