Nehum 3
1 Ahụhụ dịrị obodo ọbara, nke jupụtara nʼụgha, na ihe e zutere nʼohi. Ọ dịghị mgbe ị na-adịghị adọgbu.
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 Ụda ụtarị, ụda ụkwụ ụgbọ ịnyịnya, ikiri ụkwụ ịnyịnya na-agba ọsọ, na mkpọtụ nke ụgbọ ịnyịnya agha!
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 Ndị agha ịnyịnya, na-agbagharị na-efegharị mma agha na-egbu amụma, na ùbe ha na-egbuke egbuke. Ndị e gburu egbu dị ọtụtụ, ntụkọta ozu tọgbọrọ ebe niile, ozu a na-enweghị ike ịgụta ọnụ, ndị mmadụ na-asọ ngọngọ mgbe ha na-azọkwasị ozu ụkwụ na-agafe.
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of dead bodies; and there is no end of their bodies; they stumble upon their bodies:
4 Ihe ndị a mere nʼihi enweghị afọ ojuju nke agụụ nke onye na-akwa iko, onye ji mma ile anya, nwanyị nwe mgbaasị dị iche iche, onye ji mba dị iche iche nʼagbụ site nʼịgba akwụna ya, na ọtụtụ mmadụ dị iche iche site na mgbaasị ya.
Because of the multitude of the harlotries of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her harlotries, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 “Edoola m onwe m imegide gị,” otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile kwubiri. “Aga m ekpughepụ uwe gị, jiri ya kpuchie gị ihu, si otu a gosi mba niile nke ụwa ọtọ gị. Ihere ga-emekwa gị nʼihu alaeze niile.
Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6 Aga m awụkwasị gị ihe arụ dị iche iche, meso gị mmeso onye e ledara anya, mekwaa ka ị bụrụ ihe ilere anya nye mmadụ niile.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 Ndị niile hụrụ gị ga-agbara gị ọsọ na-asị, ‘Ninive aghọọla ihe lara nʼiyi, onye ga-eru ụjụ nʼihi ya?’ Ebee ka m ga-achọta onye ga-akasị gị obi?”
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? Where shall I seek comforters for thee?
8 Ị dị mma karịa Tibs, bụ obodo dị nʼọnụ mmiri Naịl, nke mmiri gbara gburugburu? Osimiri ahụ bụ ihe o ji echebe onwe ya, mmiri ahụ bụkwa mgbidi gbara ya gburugburu.
Art thou better than populous No, that dwelt among the rivers, that had the waters around it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Kush na Ijipt bụ agbamume ya nke na-enweghị ọgwụgwụ, Put na Libịa sokwa bụrụ ndị enyemaka ya.
Cush and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 Ma otu ọ dị, ebugara ya nʼala ndị ọzọ dịka ohu a dọtara nʼagha. A tụpịasịrị ụmụ ya a mụrụ ọhụrụ nʼelu nkume, nke dị nʼisi okporoụzọ ya niile. E fekwara nza iji kesaa ndị ya niile a na-asọpụrụ, e kekwara ndị ukwu ya niile mkpọrọ igwe.
Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Gị onwe gị ga-aṅụbigakwa mmanya oke, ị ga-abụ onye zoro onwe ya ezo, ma chọkwa ebe mgbaba nʼihi ịgbanarị ndị iro gị.
Thou also shalt be drunk: thou shalt be hidden, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 Ebe gị niile e wusiri ike dịka osisi fiig nke mkpụrụ mbụ ya chara nʼelu ya. Ma mgbe a kwagharịrị ya mkpụrụ ndị ahụ na-adaba nʼọnụ onye na-eri ya.
All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Lee ndị agha gị, ha niile bụ ụmụ nwanyị nʼetiti gị. E megheela ọnụ ụzọ ama nke ala gị niile nye ndị iro gị. Ọkụ erepịakwala na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ọnụ ụzọ unu niile.
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Seta mmiri maka oge nnọchibido, mee ka ebe gị niile nke ewusiri ike siekwa ike karịa. Gwupụta ụrọ, zọta aja, jiri ụrọ ndị ahụ kpụtakwa aja, rụzikwaa ụlọ ahụ.
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 Nʼebe ahụ ka ọkụ ga-erechapụ gị, mma agha ga-egbutu gị. Ọ ga-eripịa gị dịka igurube si erichapụ ihe niile dị ya nʼihu. Ọ bụladị ma i mee onwe gị ka i hie nne dịka ụkpana, maọbụ mụbaa dịka igurube.
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Ị meela ka ndị ahịa gị mụbaa nʼọnụọgụgụ, baa ụba karịa kpakpando dị nʼeluigwe, dịka igurube ha na-eripịa ala ahụ, gbasaa nku ha efelaga
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17 Ndị nche gị bara ụba igurube, ndị ode akwụkwọ gị dịkwa ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka igwe igurube na-ebekwasị nʼelu mgbidi nʼụbọchị oyi. Ma mgbe anyanwụ wara, ha na-efelaga; ọ dịkwaghị onye maara ebe ha feere gaa.
Thy princes are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Eze ndị Asịrịa, ndị ọzụzụ atụrụ gị na-ero ụra, ndị unu a na-asọpụrụ adaala nʼụra ọnwụ. Ndị gị niile agbasasịala nʼelu ugwu niile, ọ dịkwaghị onye ha nwere nke ga-achịkọta ha.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 Ọ dịghị ihe nwere ike ime ka i si nʼọnọdụ ị nọ ugbu a biliekwa. Nʼihi na ọnya dị gị nʼahụ ga-egbu gị. Ndị niile nụrụ ihe dakwasịrị gị ga-eji ọṅụ kụọ aka ha, nʼihi na onye ka mmadụ ahụ bụ nke na-anụrụghị ụfụ nke enweghị obi ebere gị?
There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the report of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
