Naxuum 3
1 Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga! Waayo, dhammaanteed waxaa ka buuxa been iyo dhac, oo boobkuna iyada kama dhammaado.
A curse is on the town of blood; it is full of deceit and violent acts; and there is no end to the taking of life.
2 Oo waxaa ka buuxa dhawaaqa karbaashka, iyo dhawaaqa giraangiraha qablamaya, iyo fardo qoobqaadaya, iyo gaadhifardoodyo boodboodaya,
The noise of the whip, and the noise of thundering wheels; horses rushing and war-carriages jumping,
3 iyo fardooley hor u socda, iyo seef dhalaalaysa, iyo waran birbirqaya, iyo dad badan oo la laayay, iyo bakhti faro badan oo iskor tuulsan, oo meydadkuna innaba dhammaad ma leh, oo waa lagu turunturoodaan meydadkooda,
Horsemen driving forward, and the shining sword and the bright spear: and a great number of wounded, and masses of dead bodies; they are falling over the bodies of the dead:
4 maxaa yeelay, waa dhillanimadii faraha badnayd oo ay fashay dhilladii aad loo jeclaa oo ah sayidaddii sixirrada, oo quruumo ku iibisa dhillanimadeeda, oo reerona ku iibisa sixirradeeda.
Because of all the false ways of the loose woman, expert in attraction and wise in secret arts, who takes nations in the net of her false ways, and families through her secret arts.
5 Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, col baan kula ahay, oo gogaradahaagana waan kaa feydi doonaa oo wejigaan kuu saari doonaa, oo waxaan quruumaha tusi doonaa cawradaada, boqortooyooyinkana ceebtaada.
See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your skirts pulled over your face, and let the nations see you unclothed, and the kingdoms your shame.
6 Oo wasakh baan korkaaga ku tuuri doonaa, oo ceeb baan ku saari doonaa, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa wax lagu dhaygago.
I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.
7 Oo waxay noqon doontaa in kuwa ku fiiriya oo dhammu ay kaa cararaan oo ay yidhaahdaan, Nineweh waa la baabbi'iyey, bal yaa iyada u barooran doona? Xaggee baanse kuwa u tacsiyeeya uga doonaa?
And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her?
8 Bal adigu miyaad ka wanaagsan tahay Noo Aamoon, taasoo webiyada dhexdooda ku jirtay, oo ay biyuhu ku hareeraysnaayeen, oo dhufayskeedu u badda ahaa, derbigeeduna u badda ahaa?
Are you better than No-amon, seated on the Nile streams, with waters all round her; whose wall was the sea and her earthwork the waters?
9 Itoobiya iyo Masar waxay ahaayeen xooggeeda aan dhammaadka lahayn, oo reer Fuud iyo reer Luubiimna waxay ahaayeen kuwii u hiilin jiray.
Ethiopia was her strength and Egyptians without number; Put and Lubim were her helpers.
10 Habase yeeshee iyadii waa la kaxaystay oo maxaabiis ahaan baa loo watay, oo dhallaankeediina dhulkaa lagaga tuuray jidadka rukummadooda oo dhan, oo nimankeedii sharafta lahaa saami baa loo ritay, oo raggeedii waaweynaa oo dhanna silsilado baa lagu xidhay.
But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains.
11 Oo weliba adigu waad sakhraami doontaa oo waad qarsoonaan doontaa, adiguna cadowga aawadiis dufays baad doondooni doontaa.
And you will be overcome with wine, you will become feeble; you will be looking for a safe place from those who are fighting against you.
12 Qalcadahaaga oo dhammu waxay noqon doonaan sida geedo berde ah oo midho hore u bislaaday ku yaalliin, oo haddii la ruxruxo waxay ku soo daatan kan wax cuna afkiisa.
All your walled places will be like fig-trees and your people like the first figs, falling at a shake into the mouth which is open for them.
13 Bal eeg, dadkaaga ku dhex jooga waa dumar, oo irdaha dalkaaguna waa u bannaan yihiin cadaawayaashaada, oo qataaradaadiina dab baa baabbi'iyey.
See, the people who are in you are women; the doorways of your land are wide open to your attackers: the locks of your doors have been burned away in the fire.
14 Biyo u soo dhaanso hareeraynta aawadeed, oo qalcadahaagana adkee. Dhoobada dhex gal, oo dhigada ku joogjoogso, oo xoog u yeel meesha lebenka lagu dubo.
Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks.
15 Halkaasaa dab kugu laasan doona, oo seef baa ku baabbi'in doonta, oo waxay kuu dhammayn doontaa sida koronkorro, bal isu badi sidii koronkorro oo kale, oo sidii ayax oo kale isu badi.
There the fire will make you waste; you will be cut off by the sword: make yourself as great in number as the worms, as great in number as the locusts.
16 Baayacmushtariyaashaadii waxaad ka sii badisay xiddigaha samada, koronkorraduse intay wax cunto bay iska duushaa.
Let your traders be increased more than the stars of heaven:
17 Kuwaaga taajka lahu waa sidii ayax oo kale, oo karraaniyaashaaduna waa sidii kobojaan raxan ah, kaasoo maalintii qabow xaydaanka dhex dega, laakiinse kolkii qorraxdu soo baxdo way iska cararaan, oo meeshay joogaan lama yaqaan.
Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.
18 Boqorkii Ashuurow, adhijirradaadii lulo baa haysa, geesiyaashaadii way nasanayaan, dadkaagii wuxuu ku kala firidhsan yahay buuraha dushooda, oo wax iyaga soo ururiyana lama arko.
Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together.
19 Nabarkaagu bogsan maayo, dhaawacaaguna aad buu u xun yahay, oo kuwa warkaaga maqla oo dhammuba way kugu sacab tumaan, waayo, bal waa kuma kan aanay xumaantaadu had iyo goorba gaadhin?
Your pain may not be made better; you are wounded to death: all those hearing the news about you will be waving their hands in joy over you: for who has not undergone the weight of your evil-doing again and again?
