Nahum 3
1 Terrible things will happen to [Nineveh], that city [that is full of people who] murder [MTY] and lie. [The city is] full of things that were seized [from other countries by their soldiers]; [their armies] continually [LIT] have acted brutally towards people whom they conquered.
Ninefe fi dunu ilia da ogogosu amola dunu fane legesu dawa: Amola ilia moilai bai bagade ganodini da muni amola liligi bagadewane diala. Be Ninefe da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu, amola ilima doagala: su dunu da ilia liligi huluane lidili dagomu.
2 But [now listen to the enemy soldiers coming to attack Nineveh]; [listen to them] cracking their whips, and [listen to the] rattle of [their chariot] wheels! [Listen to] their galloping horses and their chariots as they bounce along!
Nabima! Defasu da hosi baligia fegasa manebe ba: mu, amola hosi ilia emo da gibogibosa ahoa amola sa: liode ea emo da genenagenenasa ahoa. Sa: liode amola da hehenane dagini heheda: fuli ahoa.
3 [Look at their] flashing swords and glittering spears as the horsemen race forward! Many [people of Nineveh will be] killed; [there will be] piles of corpses, [with the result that] people will stumble over them.
Gegesu dunu huluane ilia da hosi baligia gado fila heda: le gegesa manebe, amola ilia dadi amo daiya ba: su ganodini, baba gala: i hamobe agoane ba: sa. Amola ilia dunu bagohamewane medole legei amola ilia idimu hame gala, lelegela heda: i agoane ba: sa. Amola bogogia: i amo da: iya osa: gili afia: lebe ba: sa.
4 All [that will happen] because [Nineveh is like] [MET] a beautiful prostitute [who lures men to where they will be ruined]; [Nineveh is a beautiful city] which has attracted/enticed [people of] other nations [to come there]. [The people of Nineveh] taught those people [of other nations rituals of] magic, and caused them to become their slaves.
Ninefe amo da aie uda defele agoai ba: sa. Amaiba: le, Gode da ema se bagade iaha. Ea soge amo noga: i ba: beba: le, dunu fi ilia hawa: hamomusa: bagohamewane gilisi. Dunu fi ilia gilisiba: le, ilia da ea wadela: i hou lalegaguiba: le, lala: giba: le, udigili hawa: hamosu dunu defele ba: i.
5 [So] the Commander of the armies of angels says to [the people of Nineveh]: “I am your enemy, and I will [cause the people in other] nations to see you [completely] humiliated like [MET] [women who have committed adultery are humiliated by] having their skirts lifted high, [with the result that] people can see their naked [bodies].
Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amane sia: sa, “Ninefe dunu! Na da dilima se bagade imunu. Nifawane da dilia abula gisa: mu, amola dilia da gogosiama: ne da: i nabadowane lalumu. Dunu fifi asi gala huluane da dilia gogosia: i amola da: i nabado amo ba: ma: ne Na da logo doasimu.
6 I will cause rubbish/garbage to be thrown at you; I will show [others] that I despise you very much, and I will cause you to be publicly ridiculed.
Nifawane dili da isu ha: digibi agoane ba: mu. Amola gaha huluane di da: iya ligisili dedebomu. Amo osobo bagade fi huluane ilia diliba: le bagade beda: gia: mu.
7 All those who see you will turn their backs to you and say, ‘Nineveh is ruined, but absolutely no one [RHQ] will mourn for it.’ No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!”
Be ilia dili ba: sea, ili huluane beda: ga sinidigimu. Ilia amane sia: mu, ‘Goe ba: ma Ninefe da wadela: lesi dagoi. Dunu afae da ema hamedafa asigisa, amola dunu ilia da Ninefe fi ilia dogo denesima: ne, asigi sia: hame sia: mu.’”
8 Your city is certainly [RHQ] no safer than Thebes [city] was. [Thebes was an important city] beside the Nile [River]; the river was [like] [SIM] a wall that protected the city [DOU].
Ninefe, dia dawa: lobada, dia nimi o gasa goga da Dibisi (moilai bai bagade baligi bagade Idibidi soge ganodini) amo osobo dogone fi dunu amo ilia gasa baligibala: ? Amo soge ea da hano bagade gala. Amo Naile hano da Dibisi moilai bai bagade gilisisu amo sisiga: le disiba: le, gaga: su defele ba: i.
9 [The rulers of] Ethiopia and Egypt helped Thebes; there was no limit to their power. [The governments of the nearby countries of] Put and Libya were also allies of Thebes.
Dibisi da Idibidi osobo dogone fi amola Suda: ne osobo dogone fi ouligi amola gasa bagade ba: i. Amola Libia fi ilia da gegemusa: , Dibisi amoma na: iyado fidisu hamoi.
10 But Thebes was captured, and [its people were] (exiled/forced to go to other countries). Their babies were dashed to pieces in the streets [of the city]. [Enemy soldiers] (cast lots/threw small marked stones) to decide who would get each official in Thebes [to become his slave]. All the leaders of Thebes were fastened/tied by chains.
Be amomane Dibisi fi amo da mugululi asi dagoi ba: i. Ilia mano da moilai bai bagade logoga fane legei dagoi ba: i. Amola ilima ha lai dunu da Dibisi mimogo dunu amo sia: ine efega la: la: gili, mugululi afugili asili, momogili ilia ha lai dunu ilia udigili hawa: hamosu dunu hamoi dagoi.
11 You [people of Nineveh] will similarly become dazed and drunk, and you will search for places to hide [to escape] from your enemies.
Ninefe fi dili amola da adini mai feloabe agoai ba: mu amola dilima ha lai dunu amo sodole hobeale masasa: dawa: mu.
12 [Your enemies will cause] the walls around your city to fall down like [SIM] the first figs that fall from fig trees [each year]. [Your city will be captured easily, like] [MET] [figs that fall] into the mouths [HYP] of those who shake the fig trees.
Dilia gagili sali diasu huluane da figi dulu yoi agoane ba: mu. Dunu da figi ifa ugugusia, figi dulu da faili sa: ili, ilia lafi ganodini daha.
13 Look at your soldiers! They will be [as weak/helpless as] [MET] women! The gates of your city will be opened wide [to allow] your enemies [to enter them], [and then] the bars of those gates will be burned.
Dilia gegesu dunu da uda agoai, amola dia osobo dogone fi da gasa hame agoai galebe. Dilia soge logo ga: su huluane da dilia ha lai dunu udigili misa: ne doasi dagoi ba: sa amola dilia logo ga: su fesonoi huluane da laluga nei dagoi.
14 Store up water [now to use when] your enemies surround the city! Repair the forts! Dig up clay and trample it [to make it soft], and put it into molds to make bricks [to repair the walls]!
Dilia ha lai dunu da dilima doaga: la: musa manebeba: le, momagema: ne hano dima amola dilia gagili sali diasu huluane gasa ima: ne hamoma. Laga osobo amo daeyane magufu sagama amola gagado dafawane gagosa heda: ma.
15 [Nevertheless, your enemies] will burn your [city]; they will kill you with their swords; they will kill you like [SIM] locusts [destroy crops].
Be amomane, dilia adi hamosea, dili da laluga nene bogomu amola gegene fane legei dagoi ba: mu. Dilia da danuba: ga ifa lubi na dagoi agoai dunu fi huluane ebelei dagoi ba: mu.
16 In your [city] there are now very many merchants; [it seems that] there are more of them than there are stars. But [when your city is being destroyed, those merchants will take the valuable things and disappear] [like] [SIM] locusts that strip the leaves from plants and [then] fly away.
Dilia bidiga lasu dunu ilia idi da gasumuni ilia idi baligi agoai ba: i. Be wali ilia da danuba: agoane hedofo hamone wa: le asi dagoi, amo hamedafa ba: sa.
17 Your leaders are [also] like a swarm of [SIM] locusts [DOU] that crowd together on the stone fences/walls on a cold day, and [then] fly away when the sun comes up, and no one knows where they have gone.
Dilia eagene ouligisu dunu da danuba: agoai galebe. Ilia da hahabe ifa lubi nanu eso diga: gala: sea wa: le ahoabe agoai, amola dunu afae da amo wa: le ahoabe sogebi hame dawa:
18 O King of Assyria, your officials will [all] be dead [EUP]; your important people will lie down and rest [forever]. Your people will be scattered over the mountains, and there will no one to gather them [together].
Asilia hina bagade, di! Dia eagene ouligisu dunu ilia da bogoi dagoi galebe, amola dia dunu mimogo huluane da maedafa nedigima: ne golai dialebe. Dia fi dunu da huluane goumia gado afagogoi galebe, amola ili bu oule misunu dunu da hame galebe.
19 You [are like someone who] has a wound that cannot be healed; [it will be] a wound that causes him to die. And all those who hear about what has happened to you will clap their hands [joyfully]. [They will say, ] “Everyone has [RHQ] suffered because he continually was [very] cruel to us.”
Gui da manoma aiya bahoma: ne gui legesu da hamedafa galebe, amola dilia fofa: gi da bahomu hamedei ba: sa. Musa: dilia da dunu huluane ilima mae asigili wadela: lesi dagoi. Dunu afae hobeale masunu hamedeiwane ba: i. Be wali Gode da dili gugunufinisi dagoi. Amola dunu huluane da amo sia: nabaloba, ilia da hahawaneba: le lobo fasa. Sia: ama dagoi
