< 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.
Umayen ti tao a mangrebbek kenka. Bantayam dagiti pader ti siudad, guardiaam dagiti dalan, papigsaem ta bagim, ummongem dagiti armadam.
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.
Ta isubsubli ni Yahweh ti kinatan-ok ni Jacob, kas iti kinatan-ok ti Israel, uray dinadael ida dagiti mangsamsamsam ken dinadaelda dagiti sanga ti ubasda.
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.
Nalabbaga dagiti kalasag dagiti maingel a tattaona, ken nakakawes iti nalabbaga dagiti natutured a lallaki; agraniag dagiti landok ti karwahe iti aldaw a panagsaganada, ken naiwaradiwad iti tangatang dagiti sipres a gayang.
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.
Napegges ti panagtaray dagiti karwahe kadagiti kalsada; agdardarasda nga agsubli-subli kadagiti nalawa a kalkalsada. Kasdala dagiti pagsilawan ken agtatarayda a kasla kimat.
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.
Ay-ayaban ti tao a mangrebbek kenka dagiti opisyalna; maitublakda iti tunggal maysa iti pannagnada; agdardarasda a mangraut iti pader ti siudad. Naisaganan ti dakkel a kalasag a mangsalaknib kadagitoy a mangraraut.
6 Yatis of floodis ben openyd, and the temple is brokun doun to erthe.
Napilit a nailukat dagiti ruangan kadagiti karayan, ket nadadael ti palasio.
7 And a knyyt is led awei caitif, and the handmaidis therof schulen be dryuun sorewynge as culueris, grutchynge in her hertis.
Naussoban ti pagan-anay ti reyna ken naitalaw; agas-asug dagiti adipenna a babbai a kasla dagiti kalapati, dandanugenda dagiti barukongda.
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.
Ti Ninive ket kasla naisawang a danum, a kasla napegges a danum nga agliblibas dagiti tattaona. Ipukpukkaw dagiti dadduma, “Agsardengkayo, agsardengkayo,” ngem awan ti tumalyaw.
9 Rauysche ye siluer, rauysche ye gold; and there is noon ende of richessis, of alle desirable vessels.
Alaenyo ti nasamsam a pirak, alaenyo ti nasamsam a balitok, gapu ta awan patingga daytoy, ti dayag dagiti amin a napipintas a banbanag ti Nineve.
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.
Langalang ken nadadael ti Nineve. Marunaw ti puso iti tunggal maysa, agtitim-og dagiti tumtumeng ti tunggal maysa, ken adda ladingit iti tunggal maysa; pimmusyaw amin dagiti rupada.
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.
Sadino ngay itan ti rukib ti leon, ti lugar a pangpanganan dagiti urbon a leon, ti lugar a pagpagnaan ti leon ken ti kabaian a leon, agraman dagiti urbon a leon, no sadino ket awan ti pagbutbutnganda?
12 The lioun took ynow to hise whelpis, and slowy to his lionessis; and fillide her dennes with prei, and his couche with raueyn.
Rinangrangkay ti leon ti natiliwna para kadagiti annakna; Binekkelna dagiti natiliwna a maipaay iti kabaian a leon, ken pinunnona ti rukibna kadagiti natiliwna, ken ti rukibna kadagiti narangrangkay a natay a bagi ti ayup.
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.
“Kitaem, bimmusorak kenka”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Uramekto dagiti karwahem iti asuk, ken alun-onento ti kampilan dagiti urbon a leonmo. Pukawekto ti sinamsammo manipud iti dagam, ken saanton a mangngegan pay dagiti timek dagiti mensaherom.”
