< Nahum 2 >

1 He stiede up, that schal scatere bifore thee, that schal kepe bisechyng; biholde thou the weie, coumforte leendis, strengthe thou vertu greetli.
Mai hari yana matsowa a kanki, Ninebe. Ki tsare mafaka, ki yi gadin hanya ki sha ɗamara ki tattaro dukan ƙarfinki!
2 For as the Lord yeldide the pride of Jacob, so the pride of Israel; for distrieris scateriden hem, and distrieden the generaciouns of hem.
Ubangiji zai maido da darajar Yaƙub, kamar ta Isra’ila, ko da yake masu washewa sun washe su suka kuma lalatar da inabinsu.
3 The scheld of stronge men of hym ben firi, men of the oost ben in rede clothis; raynes of fire of chare, in the dai of his makyng redi; and the leederis therof ben asleep.
Garkuwoyin sojojinsa ja wur ne; jarumawansa suna sanye da kaya masu ruwan jan garura. Ƙarafan kekunan yaƙi suna walƙiya a ranar da aka shirya su; ana kaɗa māsu da bantsoro.
4 In weies thei ben troblid togidere, cartis of foure horsis ben hurtlid togidere in stretis; the siyte of hem as laumpis, as leitis rennynge aboute.
Kekunan yaƙi sun zabura a tituna, suna kai da kawowa a dandali. Suna walƙiya kamar tocila suna sheƙawa a guje kamar walƙiya.
5 He schal bithenke of his stronge men, thei schulen falle in her weies; and swiftli thei schulen stie on the wallis therof, and schadewyng place schal be maad redi.
Ninebe ta tattara rundunarta, duk da haka sun yi ta tuntuɓe a kan hanyarsu. Sun ruga zuwa katangan birnin, sun sanya garkuwar kāriya a inda ya kamata.
6 Yatis of floodis ben openyd, and the temple is brokun doun to erthe.
An buɗe ƙofofin rafuffukan sai wurin ya rurrushe.
7 And a knyyt is led awei caitif, and the handmaidis therof schulen be dryuun sorewynge as culueris, grutchynge in her hertis.
An umarta cewa birnin za tă tafi bauta, za a kuma yi gaba da su. Bayi’yan mata suna kuka kamar tattabaru suna buga ƙirjinsu.
8 And Nynyue, as a cisterne of watris the watris therof; forsothe thei fledden; stonde ye, stonde ye, and there is not that schal turne ayen.
Ninebe tana kama da tafki, wanda ruwanta yana yoyo. Suna kuka suna cewa, “Ku tsaya! Ku tsaya,” amma ba wanda ya waiga.
9 Rauysche ye siluer, rauysche ye gold; and there is noon ende of richessis, of alle desirable vessels.
A washe azurfa; a washe zinariya; dukiyarsu ba ta da iyaka, arzikinsu kuma ba ya ƙarewa.
10 It is distried, and kit, and to-rent, and herte failynge, and vnknyttinge of smale knees, and failynge in alle reynes; and the face of alle ben as blacnesse of a pot.
Ta zama wofi, an washe ta, an tuɓe ta! Zukata sun narke, gwiwoyi suna kaɗuwa, jikuna suna rawa, fuskoki duk sun kwantsare!
11 Where is the dwellyng of liouns, and lesewis of whelpis of liouns? To whiche citee the lioun yede, that the whelp of the lioun schulde entre thidur, and there is not that schal make aferd.
Ina kogon zakokin nan yake yanzu, inda suka ciyar da’ya’yansu, inda zaki da zakanya sukan shiga, da’ya’yansu, ba mai damunsu
12 The lioun took ynow to hise whelpis, and slowy to his lionessis; and fillide her dennes with prei, and his couche with raueyn.
Zaki ya kashe abin da ya ishe’ya’yansa ya kuma murɗe wuyan dabbobi ya cika wurin zamansa da abin da ya kama ya cika kogwanninsa da abin da ya kashe.
13 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal brenne thi cartis of foure horsis til to the hiyeste, and swerd schal ete thi smale liouns; and Y schal distrie thi prei fro the lond, and the vois of thi messangeris schulen no more be herd.
“Ina gāba da ke,” in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. “Zan ƙone kekunan yaƙinki, takobi kuma zai fafare’ya’yan zakokinki. Ba kuma zan bar miki namun jejin da za ki kashe a duniya ba. Ba kuwa za a ƙara jin muryar’yan saƙonki ba.”
