Nahum 2
1 Mai hari yana matsowa a kanki, Ninebe. Ki tsare mafaka, ki yi gadin hanya ki sha ɗamara ki tattaro dukan ƙarfinki!
He who dashes in pieces has come up against thee. Keep the fortress. Watch the way. Make thy loins strong. Fortify thy power mightily.
2 Ubangiji zai maido da darajar Yaƙub, kamar ta Isra’ila, ko da yake masu washewa sun washe su suka kuma lalatar da inabinsu.
For Jehovah restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel, for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine-branches.
3 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.
The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are brandished.
4 Kekunan yaƙi sun zabura a tituna, suna kai da kawowa a dandali. Suna walƙiya kamar tocila suna sheƙawa a guje kamar walƙiya.
The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways. The appearance of them is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
5 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.
He remembers his nobles. They stumble in their march. They make haste to the wall of it, and the mantelet is prepared.
6 An buɗe ƙofofin rafuffukan sai wurin ya rurrushe.
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7 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.
And it is decreed. She is uncovered. She is carried away, and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
8 Ninebe tana kama da tafki, wanda ruwanta yana yoyo. Suna kuka suna cewa, “Ku tsaya! Ku tsaya,” amma ba wanda ya waiga.
But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water. Yet they flee away. Stand, stand, they cry, but none looks back.
9 A washe azurfa; a washe zinariya; dukiyarsu ba ta da iyaka, arzikinsu kuma ba ya ƙarewa.
Take ye the spoil of silver. Take the spoil of gold. For there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
10 Ta zama wofi, an washe ta, an tuɓe ta! Zukata sun narke, gwiwoyi suna kaɗuwa, jikuna suna rawa, fuskoki duk sun kwantsare!
She is empty, and void, and waste. And the heart melts, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all have grown pale.
11 Ina kogon zakokin nan yake yanzu, inda suka ciyar da’ya’yansu, inda zaki da zakanya sukan shiga, da’ya’yansu, ba mai damunsu
Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 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.
The lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with prey.
13 “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.”
Behold, I am against thee, says Jehovah of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions. And I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
