1 Ninive kumamoka kagri'ma eme ha'ma huganteno kahe panini'ma hania vahera hago ne-e. Ana nehigu kuma'ma kegavama hanaza vahera huzmantege'za kumamofo vihu keginare manine'za, ha' vahe'ma esnaza kantega zamavua antene'za kegava hiho. Ana nehanageta sondia vahera zamazeri retrotra nehuta hankavetita hara hiho.
The one who scatters has come to attack you! Guard the fortresses! Watch the roads! Get yourselves ready! Call every soldier out!
2 Ha' vahe'mo'za kora Israeli vahera hara eme huzamante'za maka zana eri haviza nehu'za waini hoza zaminena eri haviza hu'nazane. Hianagi menina Ra Anumzamo'a Israeli vahera ete zamazeri so'e nehuno, ko'ma hu'neaza huno ra zamagi zami'naku nehie.
(For the Lord will restore the splendor of the people of Jacob as he will restore the splendor of Israel, for invaders have plundered them, and destroyed their land.)
3 Hankave sondia vahe'mo'zama ha'ma eme huramante'naku'ma esazana koranke hankorami eri'ne'za, koranke kukena antani'nesaza vahe'mo'za egahaze. Hanki ana vahe'mokizmi karisimofo ainiretira zamagama neresageno'a tevemo'ma nehiaza huno ruganani nehanige'za egahaze. Ana nehanage'za sondia vahe'mo'za karugaru kevezamia erintesga hanageno tevesesaza nemesanige'za egahaze.
The shields of his chief soldiers are red; the warriors wear scarlet. His chariots flash like fire in the sunlight as he prepares for battle. Spears with their wooden shafts are held up and shaken.
4 Rankumamofo amu'nompima ne'onse kantamima me'nefine, kumamofo amunompima kankamuma me'nege'za vahe'ma atruma nehazafinena, sondia vahe'mo'za karisifi mani'neza ame hu'za rugitagi'za vu'za e'za hugahaze. E'inama hanaza zamo'a kopasi'namo ruganani huteno, tavi tagi vazu huno vuno eno hiaza hugahaze.
Chariots race madly through the streets, rushing back and forth across the town squares. Bright as torches, they dash like lightning flashes.
5 Kini ne'mo'a eri'za vahe'a huzamantenige'za ame hu'za vunaku hanazanagi, tanafa hu'za masegahaze. Ana'ma nehu'za ame hu'za kumamofo vihu keginare vu'za, fra'ma ki'za manine'za ha'ma hanaza kumara retro hugahaze.
He shouts orders to his officers. They stumble as they rush to attack the wall. The battering ram is set up.
6 Rantimofo kahana ahenagisigeno, ana timo'a kini ne'mofo nonkumara emeri haviza hugahie.
The river gates are opened; the palace washes away.
7 Ninive kumapima nemaniza vahera zamavare'za kina ome huzmanteho huno kea ko hunte'ne. Anama hanage'za zamagazegu nehanage'za kazokazo eri'zama e'neriza mofa'nemo'za zamimizare nemasagi'za, maho namamo'ma nehiaza hu'za zamasunku nehu'za zavi krafa hugahaze.
“Queen” Nineveh is stripped, and led away into exile, with her servant girls mourning like doves, and beating their breasts.
8 Ko'ma meno e'nea knafina Ninive kumamo'a mago tirukna hu'neane. Hianagi menina ana kumapi vahe'mo'za atre'za freza vu'za e'za hu'naze. Ana nehazageno mago vahe'mo'a huno anante otiho! anante otiho! Huno hu'neanagi, magomo'e huno ana kea ontahino rukrahera huno ome'neanki maka'moza atre'za fre'naze.
Nineveh is a leaky pool—its population is like water running away. “Stop! Stop” people shout, but nobody turns back.
9 Ha'ma eme huzamantaza vahe'mo'za kezati'za, Ninive kumapina marerisa feno zantamimo'a aviteno hamprigara osu'neanki rohu zamareta maka silva zagone golinena eri vagareho hu'za hu'naze.
Loot the silver! Loot the gold! There's an endless supply—an abundance of everything you could ever want.
10 Ninive kumara ha' vahe'mo'za eme rohu zamare'za maka zana eri havizantfa hazageno, mago zana omanetfa hu'ne. Vahe'mokizmi tumo'mo'a atanegeno zamarenamo'a zamahirahi re'ne. Ana nehazageno hankave zamimo'a omanetfa nehige'za, zamanogu nehazageno zamavugosamo'a korankifa ahene.
Deserted, destroyed, devastated! Hearts faint, knees tremble, stomachs ache. Everyone's faces turn pale.
11 Kora Ninive kumara hankavenentake kuma me'neankino, ana kumapima mani'naza vahe'mo'za mago havegampi laionimo'za anenta'aramine manine'za, anampina ne'zana nene'za mago zankura korora nosu'za knare hu'za nemanizankna hu'neane. Hianagi menina ana kumamo'a iga vu'ne?
Where now is the lion's den? Where is the place where the young lions used to feed? Where is the lion, and the lioness, and the lion cub that were afraid of no one?
12 Kora Ninive kumapima nemaniza sondia vahe'mo'za hankavenentake hu'nazanki'za, laionimo zagagafa aheno anenta'arami eme ante hihi huzmantegeno, a' laionimo'za nemaniza havegampima zagagafamo aviteaza hu'za, hapinti zana eri'za eme eri hihi hu'naze.
The lion tears apart meat for his cubs, and strangles prey for his lionesses. He fills his den with prey, his lair with carcasses.
13 Hankavenentake Ra Anumzana Monafi sondia vahe'mofo Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra Ninive kumamoka hara hugantenaku nehuankina karisiraminka'a tevefi hanavazi'na negresuge'za, ha' vahe'mo'za nehazaveraminka'a bainati kazinteti zamahe hana hugahaze. Ko'ma vahe'mokizmi feno zama ha'ma huzamagaterenka eri'nana knara hunka ru'enena e'origahane. Huzmantanke'za kema eri'za vu'za e'zama nehaza vahe'mo'zama, kema eri'za ha' vahete'ma vanazana, ko'ma nehazaza hu'za kezmia ontahigahaze.
Watch out! For I am against you, declares the Lord Almighty. I will set fire to your chariots and they will go up in smoke. Your strong young men will be killed by the sword. I will stop you plundering other peoples. The demands of your ambassadors will no longer be heard.
