< Nahum 2 >

1 Nineveh, ac mweuniyuk kom pa nge! Ku se ma ac ipsrikikomi tuku tari. Akoela mwet loang lom an! Taran inkanek an! Akola in mweun! (
The destroyer is come before thy face: keepe the munition: looke to the way: make thy loynes strong: increase thy strength mightily.
2 LEUM GOD El akola in folokonak ku ac wolana lun Israel, in oana woiyen acn we meet liki mwet lokoalok elos kunausla.)
For the Lord hath turned away the glorie of Iaakob, as the glorie of Israel: for the emptiers haue emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 Mwet lokoalok elos us mwe loeyuk srusra, Ac nukum nuknuk in mweun srusra. Elos akola in mweun! Chariot natulos sarmelik oana e uh! Horse natulos rarala in tari kasrusr!
The shield of his mightie men is made red: the valiant men are in skarlet: the charets shalbe as in the fire and flames in the day of his preparation, and the firre trees shall tremble.
4 Chariot uh kasrla fin inkanek uh, Sasot sasma in acn mwesas infulwen siti uh. Elos kalmelik oana srokom in e, Ac yuwot yume oana sarom.
The charets shall rage in the streetes: they shall runne to and from in the hie wayes: they shall seeme like lampes: they shall shoote like the lightning.
5 Leum lun mwet mweun uh solsoleni. Ingyak lalos uh oru elos tukulkul. Mwet lokoalok uh kasryak nu ke kalkal uh, Ac akoela acn in sunya sak in kunausla mutunpot an.
He shall remember his strong men: they shall stumble as they goe: they shall make haste to the walles thereof, and the defence shall bee prepared.
6 Mutunpot nu sisken infacl uh mulipwelik ikakla; Ac mwet inkul sin tokosra arulana tuninfongla.
The gates of the riuers shalbe opened, and the palace shall melt.
7 Kasra el sruhu utukla. Mwet kulansap lal elos sasao oana wuleoa Ac puok iniwalos ke asor.
And Huzzab the Queene shalbe led away captiue, and her maides shall leade her as with the voyce of doues, smiting vpon their breastes.
8 Mwet uh kaingelik liki acn Nineveh, Oana kof ma pisrelik liki dam fokelik se, Pusra lulap se wowoyak ac fahk, “Tui! Tui!” Tusruktu wangin mwet folokla.
But Nineueh is of olde like a poole of water: yet they shall flee away. Stande, stande, shall they crie: but none shall looke backe.
9 Srukak kewa silver ac gold an! Siti uh sessesla Ke kain in mwe kasrup puspis!
Spoyle ye the siluer, spoyle the golde: for there is none ende of the store, and glorie of all the pleasant vessels.
10 Acn Nineveh kunanula, mwet uh kaingelik, ac wangin ma lula we! Insialos kofelik ke sangeng, Intwelos rarrar, mutalos efla, Ac wanginla ku lalos.
She is emptie and voyde and waste, and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and sorowe is in all loynes, and the faces of the all gather blackenesse.
11 Pia siti se Ma tuh oana luf in lion ah in pacl inge? Acn ma lion fusr uh tuh tohfla we, Yen lion mukul ac lion mutan uh fahsri, Ac lion fusr natultal mutana in misla?
Where is the dwelling of the lyons, and the pasture of the lyons whelpes? where the lyon, and the lionesse walked, and the lyons whelpe, and none made them afrayde.
12 Lion mukul uh ac uniya ma el sruokya nal, Ac eiya in ip srisrik nu sin lion mutan ac lion fusr natul. El nwakla luf sel ke ipin ikwa ma eiyuki.
The lyon did teare in pieces ynough for his whelpes, and woryed for his lyonesse, and filled his holes with praye, and his dennes with, spoyle.
13 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nga mwet lokoalok lowos! Nga ac esukak chariot nutuwos an. Mwet mweun lowos ac fah anwuki ke mweun, ac nga fah usla ma nukewa kowos tuh eisla sin mwet saya. Sap ku su mwet utuk kas lowos tuh tafwekowos in fahkak ac fah tia sifil lohngyuk.”
Beholde, I come vnto thee, sayeth the Lord of hostes, and I will burne her charets in the smoke, and the sworde shall deuoure thy yong lyons, and I will cut off thy spoyle from the earth, and the voyce of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
