Naxuum 3

1 Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada dhiigga! Waayo, dhammaanteed waxaa ka buuxa been iyo dhac, oo boobkuna iyada kama dhammaado.

O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.

2 Oo waxaa ka buuxa dhawaaqa karbaashka, iyo dhawaaqa giraangiraha qablamaya, iyo fardo qoobqaadaya, iyo gaadhifardoodyo boodboodaya,

The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,

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,

and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies

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 abundance of fornication: [she is] a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.

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 you, says the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover your skirts in your presence, and I will show the nations your shame, and the kingdoms your disgrace.

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 you according to your unclean ways, and will make you a public example.

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 be [that] every one that sees you shall go down from you, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort 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?

Prepare you a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.

9 Itoobiya iyo Masar waxay ahaayeen xooggeeda aan dhammaadka lahayn, oo reer Fuud iyo reer Luubiimna waxay ahaayeen kuwii u hiilin jiray.

And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight [of her enemies]; and the Libyans became 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.

Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious [possessions], and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.

11 Oo weliba adigu waad sakhraami doontaa oo waad qarsoonaan doontaa, adiguna cadowga aawadiis dufays baad doondooni doontaa.

And you shall be drunken, and shall be overlooked; and you shall seek for yourself strength because of [your] enemies.

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 strongholds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall 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, your people within you are as women: the gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies: the fire shall devour your 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 you water for a siege, and well secure your strongholds: enter into the clay, and be you trodden in the chaff, make [the fortifications] stronger than brick.

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 shall devour you; the sword shall utterly destroy you, it shall devour you as the locust, and you shall be pressed down as a palmerworm.

16 Baayacmushtariyaashaadii waxaad ka sii badisay xiddigaha samada, koronkorraduse intay wax cunto bay iska duushaa.

You have multiplied your merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown 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.

Your mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!

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.

Your shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low your mighty men: your people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive [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 for your bruise; your wound has rankled: all that hear the report of you shall clap their hands against you; for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
