Naahoom 2
1 Yaa Nanawwee, namni si lolu sitti dhufeera. Daʼoo eeggadhu; karaa ilaalladhu. Mudhii kee hidhadhu; humna kee hunda walitti qabadhu!
He stiede up, that schal scatere bifore thee, that schal kepe bisechyng; biholde thou the weie, coumforte leendis, strengthe thou vertu greetli.
2 Yoo balleessitoonni isaan onsanii mukkeen wayinii isaanii barbadeessan iyyuu, Waaqayyo akkuma ulfina Israaʼel deebise sana ulfina Yaaqoobis iddootti ni deebisa.
For as the Lord yeldide the pride of Jacob, so the pride of Israel; for distrieris scateriden hem, and distrieden the generaciouns of hem.
3 Gaachanawwan loltoota isaa diddiimoo dha; gootonnis uffata bildiimaa uffataniiru. Guyyaa isaan itti qopheeffaman sana, sibiilli gaarii lolaa irra jiru ni calaqqisa; eeboon gaattiraa isaaniis ni mirmirfama.
The scheld of stronge men of hym ben firi, men of the oost ben in rede clothis; raynes of fire of chare, in the dai of his makyng redi; and the leederis therof ben asleep.
4 Gaariiwwan lolaa karaa irra dadarbatamu; oobdiiwwan keessas asii fi achi gulufu. Isaan guca bobaʼu fakkaatu; akkuma bakakkaas ni darbatamu.
In weies thei ben troblid togidere, cartis of foure horsis ben hurtlid togidere in stretis; the siyte of hem as laumpis, as leitis rennynge aboute.
5 Inni gootota isaa ni yaadata; isaan garuu karaatti gufatu. Isaan gara dallaa magaalattiitti ariifatu; daʼoonis qopheeffameefii jira.
He schal bithenke of his stronge men, thei schulen falle in her weies; and swiftli thei schulen stie on the wallis therof, and schadewyng place schal be maad redi.
6 Balballi lageenii banamaa dha; masaraan mootummaas ni jiga.
Yatis of floodis ben openyd, and the temple is brokun doun to erthe.
7 Magaalattiin qullaatti hambaa akka boojiʼamtu murteeffameera. Xomboreewwan ishee qoma isaanii rurrukutanii akka gugee booʼu.
And a knyyt is led awei caitif, and the handmaidis therof schulen be dryuun sorewynge as culueris, grutchynge in her hertis.
8 Nanawween akkuma haroo ti; bishaan ishees keessaa yaaʼee dhuma. Isaanis, “Dhaabadhaa! Dhaabadhaa!” jedhanii iyyu; garuu namni tokko iyyuu dugda duubatti hin deebiʼu.
And Nynyue, as a cisterne of watris the watris therof; forsothe thei fledden; stonde ye, stonde ye, and there is not that schal turne ayen.
9 Meetii saamaa! Warqee saamaa! Maddi ishee, badhaadhummaan kuusaa qabeenya ishee hundaas dhuma hin qabu!
Rauysche ye siluer, rauysche ye gold; and there is noon ende of richessis, of alle desirable vessels.
10 Isheen duwwaa, qullaa fi ona taateerti! Lapheen baqeera; jilbi laafeera; dhagni hollateera; fuulli hundis gurraachaʼeera.
It is distried, and kit, and to-rent, and herte failynge, and vnknyttinge of smale knees, and failynge in alle reynes; and the face of alle ben as blacnesse of a pot.
11 Holqi leencotaa, iddoon isaan itti ilmaan isaanii sooran, iddoon leenci kormaa fi dhalaan keessa yaaʼan, saafelli isaanis sodaa malee nagaadhaan jiraatan eessa?
Where is the dwellyng of liouns, and lesewis of whelpis of liouns? To whiche citee the lioun yede, that the whelp of the lioun schulde entre thidur, and there is not that schal make aferd.
12 Leenci waan ilmaan isaatiif gaʼu ajjeefate; leenca dhalaa isaatiifis waa hudhee ajjeese; boolla isaa waan adamseen, holqa isaa immoo gumaa fooniitiin guuttate.
The lioun took ynow to hise whelpis, and slowy to his lionessis; and fillide her dennes with prei, and his couche with raueyn.
13 Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu akkana jedha; “Ani sitti kaʼeera; ani gaariiwwan kee kanneen waraanaa gubee daaraa nan godha; goraadeen leenca kee saafela ni fixa. Ani waan ati adamsattu tokko illee lafa irratti siif hin hambisu. Sagaleen ergamoota keetii lammata hin dhagaʼamu.”
Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal brenne thi cartis of foure horsis til to the hiyeste, and swerd schal ete thi smale liouns; and Y schal distrie thi prei fro the lond, and the vois of thi messangeris schulen no more be herd.
