Nahum 3
1 We nu sin siti kikiap ac akmas se Su sessesla ke mwe kasrup ma ac fah pusrla ac utukelik.
Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 Porongo kusen sringsring lun mwe sringsring, Erarak lun wheel in mwe kasrusr uh, Pusren kasrusr lun horse uh, Ac srosro lun chariot uh!
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 Mwet kasrusr fin horse yuyak in mweun, Cutlass uh sarmelik, ac osra uh saromrom! Mwet misa uh tia ku in oekyukla — Manolos yolyak oan, Ac mwet uh ikorkor faclos.
The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and [there is] none end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 Nineveh, su oana sie mutan kosro, el kalyeiyuk. El oasku ac sessesla ke mwe inutnut. El kiapwela mutunfacl puspis nu ke moul in kohs.
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk, “Nineveh, nga ac kalyei kom! Nga ac fah sarukkomla, Ac lela mutunfacl uh in liye koflufol lom — Aok liye kom ke kom ac mwekinla uh.
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6 Nga ac fah arulana aklusrongtenye kom, Ac afinkomla ke ma na fohkfok ma mwet uh wohtwot kac. Mwet ac fah intoein kom ac sangeng ke liyeyom.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 Elos nukewa su liye kom ac kohloli liki kom. Elos fah fahk, ‘Nineveh el musalla na pwaye! Su srakna pakomutal? Su ac lungse akwoyal?’”
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? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8 Nineveh, ya kom pangon kom wo liki Thebes, siti fulat lun Egypt? Oasr pac infacl soko we in karinganul oana sie kalkal — Infacl Nile ma loangeyal.
Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
9 El leumi facl Ethiopia ac Egypt, ac wangin saflaiyen kuiyal. Libya el asruoki pac nu sel.
Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 Ne ouinge, a mwet Thebes elos utukla nu in sruoh. Tulik srisrik natulos sringsring pac nwe ke misa ke sruwasrik in inkanek nukewa. Mwet kol lalos kapiri ke sein, utukla elos, ac kitakatelik elos nu sin mwet ma sruokolosi.
Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Nineveh, kom pac, kom fah sruhilana ac nikinkomla. Kom ac fah suk pac in kaingla liki mwet lokoalok lom.
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 Pot ku lom nukewa ac fah oana sak fig su mwesrla fahko: osrokak sropon sak an, na fokinsak olo fah putat nu inwalum!
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 Mwet mweun lom elos munas oana mutan uh, ac mutunpot in facl sum ikakelik nu sin mwet lokoalok lom. Firir in e ac fah esukak polosak lulap sruokyen mutunpot lom.
Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Ut kof me, ac akkeyala pot ku lom meet liki ac kuhlusyuki kom! Futungya fohk kle in orek brick, ac akoela form nu kac!
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 Kom finne akoo ma inge nukewa, kom ac nuna misa na ke e, ku anwuki ke mweun. Ac fah pokyukla kom oana fokinsak ma mongola nufon sin won srisrik locust. Mwet lom elos puseni oana locust uh!
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 Kom akpusye mwet kuka lom nwe pus liki na itu inkusrao! Tusruktu inge elos nukewa wanginla, oana won locust su sralelik pao ac sohkla.
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17 Mwet leum lom uh oana sie u in won locust su kaukya pesinka uh ke len mihsrisr uh. Na ke faht uh sikyak, elos sohkelik ac wangin mwet etu yen elos som nu we!
Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp 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 Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, governor lom elos misa, ac mwet wal fulat lom motullana nwe tok! Mwet lom elos fahsrelik fineol uh, ac wangin mwet in sifilpa usalosme nu yen selos.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell [in the dust: ] thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth [them].
19 Wangin unweyen kinet keim uh, pwanang ac tia ku in mahla. Elos nukewa su lohng pweng ke musalla lom, elos fah paspas ke engan. Ya oasr mwet su tuh kaingkunla mwe keok upa ma kom oru?
[There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
