Ναούμ 2
1 ἀνέβη ἐμφυσῶν εἰς πρόσωπόν σου ἐξαιρούμενος ἐκ θλίψεως σκόπευσον ὁδόν κράτησον ὀσφύος ἄνδρισαι τῇ ἰσχύι σφόδρα
Yule ambaye atakuharibu vipande vipande anakuja dhidi yako. Linda kuta za mji, linda barabara, jitieni nguvu ninyi wenyewe, yakusanyeni majeshi yenu.
2 διότι ἀπέστρεψεν κύριος τὴν ὕβριν Ιακωβ καθὼς ὕβριν τοῦ Ισραηλ διότι ἐκτινάσσοντες ἐξετίναξαν αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰ κλήματα αὐτῶν διέφθειραν
Maana Yehova anarejesha fahari ya Yakobo, kama fahari ya Israeli, ingawa wateka nyara waliwaharibu na kuharibu matawi ya zabibu zao.
3 ὅπλα δυναστείας αὐτῶν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς ἐμπαίζοντας ἐν πυρί αἱ ἡνίαι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑτοιμασίας αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἱππεῖς θορυβηθήσονται
Ngao za mashujaa wake ni nyekundu, na watu hodari wamevaa nguo nyekundu; magari ya vita yameandaliwa yanang'ara kwenye vyuma vyake wakati wa mchana, na mikuki ya mivinje inarushwa hewani.
4 ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς καὶ συγχυθήσονται τὰ ἅρματα καὶ συμπλακήσονται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν ὡς λαμπάδες πυρὸς καὶ ὡς ἀστραπαὶ διατρέχουσαι
Magari ya vita yapo kasi kwenye mitaa; yanakimbia mbele na nyuma katika mitaa. Yapo kama kurunzi, na yanakimbia kama radi.
5 καὶ μνησθήσονται οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῶν καὶ φεύξονται ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τῇ πορείᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ σπεύσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν τὰς προφυλακὰς αὐτῶν
Yule ambaye atakuvunja vipande vipande anawaita maafisa wake; wanajikwaa kila mmoja kwa mwingine katika kutembea kwao; wanaharakisha kuushambulia ukuta wa mji. Ngao kubwa imetayarishwa kujikinga na hawa washambuliaji.
6 πύλαι τῶν ποταμῶν διηνοίχθησαν καὶ τὰ βασίλεια διέπεσεν
Malango kwenye mito yamelazishwa kufunguka, na jumba la mfalme linaanguka kwenye uharibifu.
7 καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασις ἀπεκαλύφθη καὶ αὕτη ἀνέβαινεν καὶ αἱ δοῦλαι αὐτῆς ἤγοντο καθὼς περιστεραὶ φθεγγόμεναι ἐν καρδίαις αὐτῶν
Husabu amevuliwa mavazi yake na amachukuliwa; watumishi wake wa kike wanaomboleza kama njiwa, wanavipiga vifua vyao.
8 καὶ Νινευη ὡς κολυμβήθρα ὕδατος τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτοὶ φεύγοντες οὐκ ἔστησαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιβλέπων
Ninawi ni kama bwawa la maji linalovuja, watu wake kwa pamoja wanakimbia kama maji yanayotiririka. Wengine wanasema, “Simama, simama,” lakini hakuna anayegeuka nyuma.
9 διήρπαζον τὸ ἀργύριον διήρπαζον τὸ χρυσίον καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῦ κόσμου αὐτῆς βεβάρυνται ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἐπιθυμητὰ αὐτῆς
Chukua nyara ya fedha, kuchua nyara ya dhahabu, maana hakuna mwisho wake, kwa fahari ya vitu vyote vizuri vya Ninawi.
10 ἐκτιναγμὸς καὶ ἀνατιναγμὸς καὶ ἐκβρασμὸς καὶ καρδίας θραυσμὸς καὶ ὑπόλυσις γονάτων καὶ ὠδῖνες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὀσφύν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον πάντων ὡς πρόσκαυμα χύτρας
Ninawi ipo tupu na imeharibiwa. Moyo wa kila mtu unayeyuka, magoti ya kila mmoja yanagongana pamoja, na uchungu upo kwa kila mmoja; sura zao wote zimepauka.
11 ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατοικητήριον τῶν λεόντων καὶ ἡ νομὴ ἡ οὖσα τοῖς σκύμνοις οὗ ἐπορεύθη λέων τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ἐκεῖ σκύμνος λέοντος καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν
Sasa liko wapi pango la simba, sehemu ambapo simba wadogo hula chakula, sehemu ambapo simba dume na simba jike walitembea, pamoja wana-simba, ambapo hawakuogopa kitu chochote?
12 λέων ἥρπασεν τὰ ἱκανὰ τοῖς σκύμνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέπνιξεν τοῖς λέουσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπλησεν θήρας νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατοικητήριον αὐτοῦ ἁρπαγῆς
Simba alirarua mawindo yake vipande vipande kwa ajili ya watoto wake; aliwanyonga mawindo wake kwa ajili ya wake zake, na kulijaza pango lake mawindo, makao yake kwa mizoga iliyoraruliwa.
13 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ καὶ ἐκκαύσω ἐν καπνῷ πλῆθός σου καὶ τοὺς λέοντάς σου καταφάγεται ῥομφαία καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ἐκ τῆς γῆς τὴν θήραν σου καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ οὐκέτι τὰ ἔργα σου
“Tazama, mimi nipo kinyume na wewe- hili ni neno la Yehova wa majeshi. Nitayachoma magari yenu ya vita katika moshi, na upanga utateketeza simba wenu vijana. Nitazuia nyara zenu kutoka kwenye nchi yangu, na sauti za wajumbe wenu hazitasikika tena.”
