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! (
It is all over with him, he has been removed, [one] who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into your presence, watch the way, strengthen [your] loins, be very valiant in [your] strength.
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 has turned aside the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: for they have utterly rejected them, and have destroyed their 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!
[They have destroyed] the arms of their power from among men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots [shall be destroyed] in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion
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.
in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.
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.
And their mighty men shall bethink themselves and flee by day; and they shall be weak as they go; and they shall hasten to her walls, and shall prepare their defences.
6 Mutunpot nu sisken infacl uh mulipwelik ikakla; Ac mwet inkul sin tokosra arulana tuninfongla.
The gates of the cities have been opened, and the palaces have fallen into ruin,
7 Kasra el sruhu utukla. Mwet kulansap lal elos sasao oana wuleoa Ac puok iniwalos ke asor.
and the foundation has been exposed; and she has gone up, and her maidservants were led [away] as doves moaning in their hearts.
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.
And [as for] Nineve, her waters [shall be] as a pool of water: and they fled, and staid not, and there was none to look back.
9 Srukak kewa silver ac gold an! Siti uh sessesla Ke kain in mwe kasrup puspis!
They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no end of their adorning; they were loaded [with it] upon all their 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.
[There is] thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart-breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all [are] as the blackening of a pot.
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-place of the lions, and the pasture that belonged to the whelps? where did the lion go, that the lion's whelp should enter in there, and there was none to scare [him] away?
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 lion seized enough prey for his whelps, and strangled for his [young] lions, and filled his lair with prey, and his dwelling-place with spoil.
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.”
Behold, I am against you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up your multitude in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your lions; and I will utterly destroy your prey from off the land, and your deeds shall no more at all be heard of.
