नहूम 3
1 रगतले भरिएको सहरलाई धिक्कार! त्यो झूट र लूटको सम्पत्तिले भरिएको छ । त्यसका शिकारहरू सधैँ त्यहीँभित्र छन् ।
Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departs not;
2 तर अब त्यहाँबाट कोर्राहरूको, तेज पाङ्ग्राहरू, उफ्रदै गरेका घोडाहरू, र रथहरूको कुदाइको आवाज आउँछन् ।
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 आक्रमण गर्ने घोडचढीहरू, टल्कने तरवारहरू, चम्कने भालाहरू, लास र मुर्दाहरूको थुप्रो त्यहाँ छन् । त्यहाँ अनगिन्ती लाशहरू छन् । त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेहरू लाशमा ठोकर खाँदै हिँड्छन् ।
The horseman lifts up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 टुनामुनामा निपुण, त्यो सुन्दर वेश्या, जसले आफ्नो, र टुनामुनाले जाति-जातिहरूलाई बेच्छे, त्यसको कामवासनापूर्ण कामहरूका कारण यो भइरहेको छ ।
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the well-favoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that sells nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 सेनाहरूका परमप्रभु घोषणा गर्नुहुन्छ, “हेर्, म तेरो विरुद्ध छु । म तेरो फरियालाई तेरो अनुहारभन्दा माथिसम्म उचालिदिनेछु र तेरा गुप्तांगहरू जाति-जातिहरूलाई, र तेरो शर्म राज्यहरूलाई देखाइदिनेछु ।
Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will discover your skirts upon your face, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
6 म तँमाथि घिनलाग्दो फोहोर फ्याँक्नेछु र तँलाई घृणित बनाइदिनेछु । म तँलाई यस्तो बनाउनेछु, कि सबैले तँलाई हेर्नेछन् ।
And I will cast abominable filth upon you, and make you vile, and will set you as a gazing-stock.
7 तँलाई हेर्ने सबै तँबाट टाढा भाग्नेछन् र भन्नेछन्, ‘निनवे नष्ट भएको छ, त्यसको निम्ति कसले विलौना गर्ला?’ तँलाई शान्त्वना दिने मैले कहाँ पाउन सक्छु?”
And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will lament for her? whence shall I seek comforters for you?
8 निनवे, के तँ नील नदीको किनारमा बनाइएको नो शहरभन्दा असल छस्, त्यो शहर जसको वरिपरि पानी थियो, जसको सुरक्षा सागर, र जसको पर्खाल समुद्र थियो?
Are you better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 कूश र मिश्र त्यसका शक्ति थिए, र त्यसको कुनै अन्त थिएन । पूत र लिबिया त्यसका मित्रराष्ट्रहरू थिए ।
Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
10 तथापि नो शहर निर्वासनमा लगियो, त्यो दासत्वमा लगियो, त्यसका छोराछोरीहरू हरेक सडकहरूका मुखमा टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारिए । त्यसका शत्रुहरूले त्यसका भारदारहरूका निम्ति चिट्ठा हाले, र त्यसका सबै महान् मानिसहरू साङ्लाले बाँधिए ।
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 तँ मतवाला हुनेछस्, तँ लुक्न कोसिस गर्नेछस्, र तैँले आफ्नो शत्रुबाट भाग्नलाई शरणस्थान खोज्नेछस् ।
You also shall be drunken: you shall be hid, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.
12 तेरा सबै किल्लाहरू पहिले नै फल पाकेका अन्जिरका रूखहरूझैँ हुनेछन् । ती हल्लाइए भने, त्यसका सबै फल खानेवालाको मुखमा झर्नेछन् ।
All your strong holds shall be like fig trees with the first-fruits figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 हेर्, तेरा बिचमा भएका मानिसहरू स्त्रीहरू मात्र छन् । तेरो देशका प्रवेशद्धारहरु शत्रुहरूका निम्ति खुला भएका छन् । आगोले त्यसका गजबारहरू भस्म पारेको छ ।
Behold, your people in the midst of you are women: the gates of your land shall be set wide open unto your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 घेरावन्दीको दिनको निम्ति पानी भर्, आफ्ना किल्लाहरू बलियो पार् । हिलोमा जा, र त्यसलाई कुल्ची । इट बनाउने भाँडो बोक् ।
Draw you waters for the siege, fortify your strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
15 आगोले तँलाई त्यहाँ भस्म पार्नेछ, र तरवारले तँलाई नाश गर्नेछ । सलहहरूले सबै कुरा सखाप पारेझैँ त्यसले तँलाई सखाप पार्नेछ । फटेङ्ग्राहरू जस्ता अनगिन्ती हो, र सलाहहरूझैँ संख्यामा बढ् ।
There shall the fire devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the cankerworm: make yourself many as the cankerworm, make yourself many as the locusts.
16 तैँले आफ्ना व्यापारीहरूलाई आकाशका ताराहरूभन्दा पनि धेरै बनाएको छस्, तर तिनीहरू सलहहरूझैँ हुन्, तिनीहरूले भुमिलाई लुटेर उडिजान्छन् ।
You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoils, and flees away.
17 तेरा राजकुमारहरू सलहहरूझैँ धेरै छन्, र तेरा अधिकारीहरू सलहका बथानझैँ छन्, जो चिसो दिनमा पर्खालहरूमा बस्छन् । तर घाम उदाएपछि ती कहाँ उडेर जान्छन् भन्ने नै थाहा हुँदैन ।
Your crowned are as the locusts, and your captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 अश्शूरको राजा, तेरा गोठालाहरू सुतेका छन्, तेरा शासकहरू विश्राम गर्दै पल्टेका छन् । तेरा मानिसहरू पर्वतहरूमा छरिएका छन्, र तिनीहरूलाई त्यहाँ भेला गर्ने कोही छैन ।
Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: your nobles shall dwell in the dust: your people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathers them.
19 तेरा घाउहरू निको हुँदैनन् । ती गहिरा छन् । तेरो विषयमा सुन्ने सबैले रमाहटले ताली बजाउँछन् । तेरो लगातारको दुष्टताबाट को भागेको छ र?
There is no healing of your bruise; your wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of you shall clap the hands over you: for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
