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!
तँलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नुहुने तेरो विरुद्धमा आउँदै हुनुहुन्छ । सहरहरूका पर्खालहरूमा मानिसहरू खटाओ, बाटोहरूलाई पहरा देओ, आफैँलाई बलिया बनाओ, आफ्ना सेनाहरूलाई एकठ्ठा गर ।
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.
लुटेराहरूले तिनीहरूलाई तहस-नहस गरे तापनि, र तिनीहरूका दाखका हाँगाहरूलाई नष्ट गरे तापनि, परमप्रभुले इस्राएलको गौरवझैँ याकूबको गौरव पुनर्स्थापित गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
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.
त्यसका शक्तिशाली मानिसहरूका रक्षा कवचहरू राता छन्, र त्यसका सैनिकहरू वैजनी रङ्गका पोशाकमा छन् । तिनीहरूका रथहरू तयार भएका दिनमा तिनीहरूका धातुद्धारा चम्किन्छन्, र सल्लोका भालाहरू हावामा लहराइन्छन् ।
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.
ती रथहरू सडकहरूबाट तीव्र गतिमा अगि बढ्छन्, फराकिला सडकहरूमा ती अगाडि र पछाडि दौडन्छन् । तिनीहरू राँकाझैँ देखिन्छन्, र तिनीहरू बिजुलीझैँ दौडन्छन् ।
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.
तँलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पार्नेले आफ्ना अधिकारीहरूलाई बोलाउँछ, तर तिनीहरू हिँड्ने क्रममा एक आपसमा ठेस खाई लड्छन् । तिनीहरू सहरको पर्खाललाई आक्रमण गर्न हतारिन्छन् । यी आक्रमण गर्नेहरूलाई बचाउनको निम्ति ठुलो रक्षा कवच बनाइन्छ ।
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.
नदीका बाँधहरू खुला पारिन्छन्, र दरबारचाहिँ नाश हुनेछ ।
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].
हुज्जाबका वस्त्र फुकालिएकाछन् र त्यो निर्वासनमा लगिनेछे । त्यसका कमारीहरू छाती पिट्दै ढुकुरहरूझैँ विलाप गर्छन् ।
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].
निनवे चुहिरहेको पोखरीझैँ हो, जसका मानिसहरू जोडले बगिरहेको पानीझैँ भागिरहेका छन् । अरूहरूले ठुलो सोरमा भन्छन्, “रोक, रोक,” तर कसैले पनि पछि फर्केर हेर्दैन ।
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!”
चाँदी र सुनका लुटका सामान लेओ, किनभने निनवेका सबै सुन्दर कुराहरूका वैभवको कुनै अन्त्य छैन ।
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.
निनवे रित्तो र नष्ट भएको छ । सबैका हृदय पग्लिन्छन्, सबैका घुँडाहरू एक आपसमा ठोकिन्छन्, र पीडा सबैमा छ, तिनीहरू सबैका अनुहारहरू पहेँला छन् ।
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.
सिंहको गुफा, जहाँ जवान सिंहहरूलाई खुवाइन्थ्यो, जहाँ सिंह र सिंहनी आफ्ना डमरुहरूसँग हिँड्थे, जहाँ तिनीहरू कोहीसँग डराउँदैनथे, त्यो ठाउँ कहाँ छ?
12 [The soldiers in Nineveh were like] [MET] lions that killed or strangled [other animals] [and brought the meat] to their dens.”
सिंहले आफ्ना डमरुहरूका निम्ति त्यसका शिकारहरूलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा गर्यो । त्यसले आफ्ना सिंहनीहरूका निम्ति शिकारको घाँटी निमोठी मार्यो, र आफ्नो गुफालाई शिकारहरूले, र आफ्नो ओडारलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिएका सिनुहरूले भर्यो ।
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].”
सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु यो घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, म तेरो विरुद्धमा छु । म तेरा रथहरूलाई जलाएर धुँवा बनाउनेछु र तेरा जवान सिंहहरूलाई तरवारले नष्ट पार्नेछ । तेरो भुमिबाट तेरो शिकारलाई म हटाइदिनेछु र तेरा समाचारबाहकहरूका आवाज अब कहिल्यै सुनिनेछैन ।”
