Naxuum 3
1 Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga! Waayo, dhammaanteed waxaa ka buuxa been iyo dhac, oo boobkuna iyada kama dhammaado.
Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 Oo waxaa ka buuxa dhawaaqa karbaashka, iyo dhawaaqa giraangiraha qablamaya, iyo fardo qoobqaadaya, iyo gaadhifardoodyo boodboodaya,
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 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,
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 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 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 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.
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 Oo wasakh baan korkaaga ku tuuri doonaa, oo ceeb baan ku saari doonaa, oo waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa wax lagu dhaygago.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
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 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 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?
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 Itoobiya iyo Masar waxay ahaayeen xooggeeda aan dhammaadka lahayn, oo reer Fuud iyo reer Luubiimna waxay ahaayeen kuwii u hiilin jiray.
Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy 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.
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 Oo weliba adigu waad sakhraami doontaa oo waad qarsoonaan doontaa, adiguna cadowga aawadiis dufays baad doondooni doontaa.
Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
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 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 Bal eeg, dadkaaga ku dhex jooga waa dumar, oo irdaha dalkaaguna waa u bannaan yihiin cadaawayaashaada, oo qataaradaadiina dab baa baabbi'iyey.
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 Biyo u soo dhaanso hareeraynta aawadeed, oo qalcadahaagana adkee. Dhoobada dhex gal, oo dhigada ku joogjoogso, oo xoog u yeel meesha lebenka lagu dubo.
Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
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 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 Baayacmushtariyaashaadii waxaad ka sii badisay xiddigaha samada, koronkorraduse intay wax cunto bay iska duushaa.
Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
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.
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 Boqorkii Ashuurow, adhijirradaadii lulo baa haysa, geesiyaashaadii way nasanayaan, dadkaagii wuxuu ku kala firidhsan yahay buuraha dushooda, oo wax iyaga soo ururiyana lama arko.
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 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?
[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?
