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! (
He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power 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 excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have 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 mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
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 chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the 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.
He shall recount his nobles: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to her wall, and the defence shall be prepared.
6 Mutunpot nu sisken infacl uh mulipwelik ikakla; Ac mwet inkul sin tokosra arulana tuninfongla.
The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7 Kasra el sruhu utukla. Mwet kulansap lal elos sasao oana wuleoa Ac puok iniwalos ke asor.
And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
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 Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
9 Srukak kewa silver ac gold an! Siti uh sessesla Ke kain in mwe kasrup puspis!
Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is no end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
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 empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
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 lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?
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 tore in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with torn flesh.
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 thee, saith the LORD 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.
