Naxuum 2
1 Kii wax burburinayay waa u soo baxay hortiinna. Qalcaddiinna dhawra, oo jidka ilaaliya, oo guntiga isku giijiya, oo xooggiinnana si weyn u adkeeya.
He ascends, who would scatter before your eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly.
2 Waayo, Rabbigu sharaftii reer Yacquub wuu u soo celinayaa sidii sharaftii reer binu Israa'iil oo kale, waayo, kuwii wax dhici jiray ayaa dhacay, oo laamahoodii canabka ahaana way wada baabbi'iyeen.
For the Lord has repaid the arrogance of Jacob, just like the arrogance of Israel. For the despoilers have scattered them, and they have corrupted their procreation.
3 Oo raggiisa xoogga badan gaashaankoodiina waa la caseeyey, oo ragga dagaalyahanka ahuna waxay xidhaan dhar guduudan, oo maalintii isdiyaarintiisana gaadhifardoodyadu waa bir widhwidha, oo warmihiina waa loo ruxay si cabsi badan.
The shield of his strong ones is fire, the men of war are in scarlet. The reins of the chariot are fiery in the day of his preparation, and the drivers have been drugged.
4 Gaadhifardoodyada ayaa jidadka dhexdooda ka gurdamaya, oo jidadka balballaadhan ayaa midkoodba kan kale ku cidhiidhinaya, oo muuqashadooduna waa sida qori iftiimaya oo kale, waxayna u ordayaan sida hillaaca oo kale.
They have become confused on their journey. The four-horse chariots have collided in the streets. Their appearance is like torches, like lightning dashing around.
5 Wuxuu xusuustaa geesiyaashiisii, way turunturoodaan markay socdaan, oo derbigay ku degdegayaan, gabbaadkana waa la diyaariyey.
He will call to mind his strong ones; they will destroy along their journey. They will quickly ascend its walls, and a shelter will be prepared.
6 Irdihii webiyaashu way furmeen, oo gurigii boqorkuna waa baabba'ay.
The gates of the rivers have been opened, and the temple has been pulled down to the ground.
7 Husab waa qaawan tahay, iyadii waa la kaxaystay, oo addoommaheediina waxay ugu musannaabayaan cod u eg midka qoolleyda oo kale, laabtana way garaacayaan.
And the foot soldier has been led away captive, and her handmaids were driven away, mourning like doves, murmuring in their hearts.
8 Laakiinse Nineweh waxay tan iyo waagii hore ahaan jirtay sidii balli biya ah, habase yeeshee way cararayaan. Waxaa lagu qayliyaa, War jooga, jooga! laakiinse ninna dib uma eego.
And Nineveh, her waters are like a fish pond. Yet truly, they have fled away: “Stand, stand!” But there is no one who will turn back.
9 War lacagta dhaca, oo dahabka dhaca, waayo, kaydka iyo maalka wacan oo sharafta leh oo dhammu innaba dhammaad ma leh.
Despoil the silver, despoil the gold. And there is no end to all the riches of desirable equipment.
10 Way madhan tahay, oo waa baabba', oo waa cidla, oo qalbigu waa dhalaalayaa, lowyuhuna way isgaraacayaan, oo qof kasta dhexdiisa xanuun baa ku jira, oo kulligoodna wejigooda cabsi baa ka muuqanaysa.
She has been scattered, and cut, and torn apart. And the heart melts, and the knees buckle, and weakness is in every temperament. And the faces of them all are like a black kettle.
11 Bal meeday bohoshii libaaxyadu, oo meeday meeshii lagu quudin jiray libaaxyada qayrabka ah, taasoo ah meeshii ay ku socon jireen aarka iyo goosha iyo dhasha libaaxu, iyagoo aan ciduna cabsiin?
Where is the dwelling place of the lions, and the feeding ground of the young lions, to which the lion went, so as to open a way for the young lion, and so that there would be none to make them afraid?
12 Aarkii libaaxu wuxuu dhashiisii u dildillaaciyey wax ku filan, oo goolihiisiina wax buu u dilay, oo godadkiisii wuxuu ka buuxsaday ugaadh, oo boholihiisiina wuxuu ka buuxsaday raq.
The lion seized enough for his young, and killed enough for his lionesses, and he filled his caves with prey, and his den with spoils.
13 Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, anigu col baan idinla ahay, oo gaadhifardoodyadana qiiq baan ku gubi doonaa, oo libaaxyada qayrabyada ahna seef baa baabbi'in doonta, oo waxa aad ugaadhsataanna dhulkaan ka dhammayn doonaa, oo codkii wargeysyadiinnana mar dambe lama maqli doono.
Behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots even to smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. And I will exterminate your prey from the land, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
