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.
ସେହି ରକ୍ତପାତୀ ନଗର ସନ୍ତାପର ପାତ୍ର! ତାହା ମିଥ୍ୟା ଓ ଦୌରାତ୍ମ୍ୟରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ, ସେ ଲୁଣ୍ଠନ କରିବା ଛାଡେ ନାହିଁ।
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!
କୋରଡ଼ାର ଶବ୍ଦ, ଚକ୍ରସମୂହର ଘର ଘର ଶବ୍ଦ; ନାଚିବା ଅଶ୍ୱଗଣ ଓ କୁଦିବା ରଥ;
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.
ଅଶ୍ୱାରୋହୀ ଆରୋହଣ କରିବାର, ଆଉ ଚକ୍ଚକ୍ ଖଡ୍ଗ ଓ ଝଲମଲ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା; ପୁଣି, ଅପାର ହତ ଲୋକ ଓ ଶବର ଏକ ମହାଢିପି; ଆଉ, ଶବ ସଂଖ୍ୟାର ସୀମା ନାହିଁ; ସେମାନଙ୍କ ଶବ ଉପରେ ଲୋକେ ଝୁଣ୍ଟି ପଡ଼ନ୍ତି;
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.
ପରମସୁନ୍ଦରୀ ମାୟାବିନୀ ଯେଉଁ ବେଶ୍ୟା, ସେ ନାନା ଦେଶୀୟମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆପଣା ବେଶ୍ୟାବୃତ୍ତି ଦ୍ୱାରା ଓ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀଗଣକୁ ଆପଣା ଗୁଣି ବିଦ୍ୟା ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିକ୍ରୟ କରେ, କାରଣ ତାହାର ବେଶ୍ୟା ଆଚରଣ ଅବର୍ଣ୍ଣନୀୟ।
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].
ସୈନ୍ୟାଧିପତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହନ୍ତି, ଦେଖ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରତିକୂଳ ଅଟୁ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବସ୍ତ୍ରର ଅଞ୍ଚଳ ଟେକି ତୁମ୍ଭ ମୁଖ ଉପରେ ଥୋଇବା, ଆଉ ଆମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀବର୍ଗକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଉଲଙ୍ଗତା ଓ ରାଜ୍ୟସମୂହକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲଜ୍ଜା ଦେଖାଇବା।
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.
ପୁଣି, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଉପରେ ଘୃଣାଜନକ ମଳ ନିକ୍ଷେପ କରିବା ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ମର୍ଯ୍ୟାଦାରହିତ କରିବା ଓ ଦୃଶ୍ୟରେ ଉପହାସର ବିଷୟ କରିବା।
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!”
ପୁଣି, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ଅନାଇବେ, ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ନିକଟରୁ ପଳାଇବେ, ଆଉ କହିବେ, ନୀନିବୀ ଧ୍ୱଂସ ହୋଇଅଛି; ତାହା ବିଷୟରେ କିଏ ବିଳାପ କରିବ? ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ସାନ୍ତ୍ୱନାକାରୀଗଣ କେଉଁଠାରେ ଖୋଜିବା?
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].
ଯେଉଁ ନଦୀଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅବସ୍ଥିତା ଓ ଚତୁର୍ଦ୍ଦିଗରେ ଜଳବେଷ୍ଟିତା ଥିଲା; ସମୁଦ୍ର ଯାହାର ଗଡ଼ର ଖାଇ ଓ ପ୍ରାଚୀର ଥିଲା, ଏପରି ନୋ-ଆମୋନଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ କି ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ?
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.
କୂଶ ଓ ମିସର ତାହାର ବଳ ସ୍ୱରୂପ ଥିଲେ ଓ ତାହା ଅସୀମ ଥିଲା; ପୂଟ୍ ଓ ଲୂବୀୟମାନେ ତାହାର ସହକାରୀ ଥିଲେ।
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.
ତଥାପି ସେ ନିର୍ବାସିତା ହେଲା, ସେ ବନ୍ଦୀତ୍ୱ ସ୍ଥାନକୁ ଗଲା; ତାହାର ଶିଶୁଗଣ ମଧ୍ୟ ସମସ୍ତ ପଥ ମୁଣ୍ଡରେ କଚଡ଼ା ଯାଇ ଖଣ୍ଡ ଖଣ୍ଡ ହେଲେ; ଲୋକମାନେ ତାହାର ମାନ୍ୟ ପୁରୁଷମାନଙ୍କ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଗୁଲିବାଣ୍ଟ କଲେ, ଆଉ ତାହାର ବଡ଼ ଲୋକ ସମସ୍ତେ ଶିକୁଳିରେ ବନ୍ଧା ହେଲେ।
11 You [people of Nineveh] will similarly become dazed and drunk, and you will search for places to hide [to escape] from your enemies.
ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମଧ୍ୟ ମତ୍ତ ହେବ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲୁଚାଯିବ; ଆହୁରି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଶତ୍ରୁ ସକାଶୁ ଦୃଢ଼ ଗଡ଼ ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣ କରିବ।
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.
ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୁର୍ଗସବୁ ଆଦ୍ୟପକ୍ୱ ଫଳବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ଡିମ୍ବିରି ବୃକ୍ଷମାନର ତୁଲ୍ୟ ହେବେ; ସେହି ସବୁ ହଲା ଗଲେ ଫଳ ଭକ୍ଷକର ମୁଖରେ ପଡ଼ିବ।
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.
ଦେଖ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ମଧ୍ୟସ୍ଥିତ ଲୋକମାନେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଲୋକ ପରି ଅଟନ୍ତି; ତୁମ୍ଭ ଦେଶର ନଗରଦ୍ୱାରସକଳ ତୁମ୍ଭ ଶତ୍ରୁଗଣ ପାଇଁ ମେଲା ହୋଇ ରଖାଯାଇଅଛି; ଅଗ୍ନି ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅର୍ଗଳସବୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିଅଛି।
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]!
ଅବରୋଧର ସମୟ ନିମନ୍ତେ ଜଳ କାଢ଼ି ଆଣ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୁର୍ଗସବୁ ଦୃଢ଼ କର; କାଦୁଅକୁ ଯାଇ ମାଟି ଚକଟ, ଇଟା ଭାଟି ଦୃଢ଼ କର।
15 [Nevertheless, your enemies] will burn your [city]; they will kill you with their swords; they will kill you like [SIM] locusts [destroy crops].
ସେଠାରେ ଅଗ୍ନି ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିବ; ଖଡ୍ଗ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଛେଦନ କରିବ, ତାହା ପତଙ୍ଗର ନ୍ୟାୟ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଗ୍ରାସ କରିବ; ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପତଙ୍ଗର ନ୍ୟାୟ ଆପଣାକୁ ବହୁସଂଖ୍ୟକ କର, ପଙ୍ଗପାଳ ପରି ଆପଣାକୁ ବହୁସଂଖ୍ୟକ କର।
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.
ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆକାଶର ତାରାଗଣ ଅପେକ୍ଷା ଆପଣା ବଣିକଗଣର ସଂଖ୍ୟା ବୃଦ୍ଧି କରିଅଛ; ପତଙ୍ଗ ନଷ୍ଟ କରି ଉଡ଼ିଯାଏ।
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.
ତୁମ୍ଭର ମୁକୁଟଧାରୀମାନେ ପଙ୍ଗପାଳ ପରି ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରଧାନ ସେନାପତିମାନେ ଫଡ଼ିଙ୍ଗର ଦଳ ପରି, ସେ ଫଡ଼ିଙ୍ଗମାନେ ଶୀତ ଦିନରେ ବାଡ଼ରେ ରହନ୍ତି, ମାତ୍ର ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଉଦୟ ହେଲେ ଉଡ଼ି ପଳାନ୍ତି, ଆଉ ସେମାନେ କେଉଁଠାରେ ଥାʼନ୍ତି, ତାହା ଜଣାଯାଏ ନାହିଁ।
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].
ହେ ଅଶୂରର ରାଜା, ତୁମ୍ଭର ପଲରକ୍ଷକମାନେ ଘୁମାଉଅଛନ୍ତି; ତୁମ୍ଭର ପ୍ରତାପାନ୍ୱିତ ଲୋକମାନେ ବିଶ୍ରାମ କରୁଅଛନ୍ତି; ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନେ ପର୍ବତଗଣ ଉପରେ ଛିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ ହୋଇଅଛନ୍ତି। ଆଉ, ସେମାନଙ୍କୁ ସଂଗ୍ରହ କରିବାକୁ କେହି ନାହିଁ।
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.”
ତୁମ୍ଭ ଆଘାତର ଉପଶମ ନାହିଁ; ତୁମ୍ଭର କ୍ଷତ ବ୍ୟଥାଜନକ; ଯେଉଁମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିଷୟକ ସମ୍ବାଦ ଶୁଣନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ସମସ୍ତେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରତି ହାତତାଳି ଦିଅନ୍ତି; କାରଣ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଦୁଷ୍ଟତା କାହା ଉପରେ ଅବିରତ ବର୍ତ୍ତି ନାହିଁ?
