Nahum 2
1 [You people of] [APO] Nineveh, your enemies are coming to attack you. [So] place guards on the tops of the walls around the city! Guard the roads [into the city]! Get ready to fight! Gather your troops/soldiers [MTY] together!
Ninefe fi! Dawa: ma! Doagala: su da doaga: i dagoi! Dilima wadela: mu gasa bagade da doaga: i dagoi! Moilai bai bagadega gaga: musa: , gegesu liligi noga: le gaguma! Logo amo noga: le sosodo ouligima! Gegemusa: gini momagema!
2 Even though enemy soldiers have destroyed the descendants of [MTY] Jacob, Yahweh will cause them to be honored again. Israel is like a grapevine that has been ruined, but Israel will prosper again.
(Musa: Isala: ili fi ilima ha lai da ilia liligi noga: i amo huluane gaguli asi. Be amomane waha Hina Gode da bu Isala: ili fi gado gaguia gadomu, musa: hamoi amo defele.)
3 The shields of the enemy soldiers [who are coming to attack you] will shine red [as the sun shines on them], and they will wear bright red uniforms. The metal of their chariot [wheels] will flash when they line up [before the battle], and their soldiers will lift up their cypress/pine spears and wave them.
Ha lai dadi gagui dunu ilia yoi da: igene ga: su gaguli maha. Ilia afaedidi abula amola da yoi gala. Ilia da doagala: musa: momagelala. Ilia sa: liode da hanu nei agoai amola ha: ha: na gala: i agoai hamoi. Amola hosi ilia hehenaia manebe.
4 Their chariots will dash through the streets [of Nineveh] and rush furiously through the plazas. Going as quick as lightning, they will resemble flaming torches.
Sa: liode fila heda: i dunu ilia logoga hehenaia dunu gilisiba amogai ahoa. Ilia da moilai bagade logo ganodini asili, sinidigili nimiwane doula ahoa. Amo huluane da hanu nei agoane amola ha: ha: na bagade gala: i agoane hamoi.
5 [Meanwhile], your king will summon his officers who will stumble as they [try to] come [quickly]. They will dash to the [city] wall, holding their shields to protect themselves.
Ilia da dadi gagui ouligisu dunu ilima misa: ne sia: sa. Amo da ba: le gusuli ahoasea ilia da emo gigiawale dafafane ahoa. Amola doagala: su dunu da moilai bai bagade gaga: su dobea amoga hehenane, dobea muguluma: ne fudulu damui amo gaga: ma: ne gadodili gaga: su hamosa.
6 But, the gates [of the dams] on the rivers will be thrown open [by enemy soldiers], and [the flood will cause] the palace to collapse.
Hano gadenene logo ga: i amo goudasa amola logo duiwane ba: sa. Amaiba: le, dunu hina bagade ea diasu ganodini esalu amo huluane beda: igia: sa.
7 The queen will have her clothes stripped off her [by enemy soldiers], and her slave girls will moan like doves and beat their breasts [to show that they are very sad].
Ilia da hina bagade idua amo gagulaligisa. Amola ea udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini ilia bagade asigili didigia: sa amola dafe sio agoane gogonomasa. Ilia bagade asigiba: le ilila: bida: igia medosa lelu.
8 [The people will rush from] Nineveh like [SIM] water rushes from a broken dam. [The officials] will shout, “Stop! Stop!” but the people will not even look back [as they run away].
Ninefe fi da hano hihiga: i fili asi defele, moilai bai bagade yolesili, hehenane gadili ahoa. Be oda ilia ha: giwane wesa, “Aligima! Aligima!” Be afae da hamedafa sinidigisa.
9 [The enemy attackers say to each other, ] “Seize the silver! Grab the gold! There is a huge amount of very valuable things in this city, more valuable things than anyone can count!”
Gegesu dunu da gilisili sia: wesa, “Silifa amola gouli amo huluane ladima! Moilai bai bagade da amoga nabaidafa!”
10 [Soon everything valuable in the city] will be seized or ruined. People will be trembling, with the result that they will not be able to fight. Their faces will all become pale.
Ninefe fi da wadela: lesi dagoi, soge hafoga: i agoai, dunu da huluane hobea: i dagoi. Ilia dogo ganodini bagadewane beda: i amogawane muguni dudugini sa: i, amola gasa hame amola odagi da maga: me gasa: ga: la: i.
11 [After that happens, people will say, ] “What happened to [RHQ] that [great city of Nineveh]? [It was like] [MET] a den [full] of young lions, where the male and female lions lived and fed the young ones.
12 [The soldiers in Nineveh were like] [MET] lions that killed or strangled [other animals] [and brought the meat] to their dens.”
Musa: da goe osobo dogone fi bagade amo ea nimi da laione wa: me ea gasa agoai galu, be amomane waha da hame. Musa: Ninefe moilai bai bagade amo da laione wa: me mano ilia wamoaligisu amoga ilia da ohe hu nasu, agoai galu. Amola laione wa: me fi gawali amola aseme gilisili, ilia wamoaligisuga asili, amoga elea mano gaga: iwane esalebe ba: i. Laione wa: me ea da ohe bagade ga: ne nasu dawa: amo isole ea gawali amola mano iligili iasu, amola ea wamoaligisu da ohe hu amoga nabai ba: i. Be amomane moilai bai bagade da habi dianabela: ? Amo da wadela: lesi dagoi.
13 The Commander of the armies of angels says [to the people of Nineveh], “I am opposed to you; I will cause your chariots to [be burned in fires and] go up in smoke. Your young men will be killed with swords. [Your soldiers] will never again conquer [other nations] and seize their valuable possessions. Your messengers will never again take messages [to other nations, demanding that their armies surrender to them].”
Hina Gode Bagadedafa E da Ninefe fi ilima amane sia: sa, “Nifawane Ni dilima ha lai. Amola Nifawane da dilia sa: liode huluane gobele salimu. Amo dadi gagui huluane da gegenana fane legei ba: mu. Nifawane da liligi dunu ilia ladi amo bu Ni huluane ladimu. Dilia eagene sia: adole iasu dunu amo ilia sia: , dunu eno da hame nabimu.”
