Nahumu 3
1 Ole wa mji umwagao damu, uliojaa uongo, umejaa nyara, usiokosa kuwa na vitu vya kuteka nyara.
Woe to! [the] city of blood all of it lying plunder [is] full not it will depart prey.
2 Kelele za mijeledi, vishindo vya magurudumu, farasi waendao mbio na mshtuo wa magari ya vita!
[the] sound of A whip and [the] sound of [the] rattling of a wheel and a horse galloping and a chariot jolting.
3 Wapanda farasi wanaenda mbio, panga zinameremeta, na mikuki inangʼaa! Majeruhi wengi, malundo ya maiti, idadi kubwa ya miili isiyohesabika, watu wanajikwaa juu ya mizoga:
A horseman bringing up and [the] blade of a sword and [the] flash of a spear and [the] multitude of [the] slain and [the] weight of corpse[s] and there not [is] an end to the bodi[es] (and people will stumble *Q(K)*) over bodi[es] their.
4 yote haya kwa sababu ya wingi wa tamaa za kahaba, anayeshawishi, bibi wa mambo ya uchawi, anayewatia utumwani mataifa kwa ukahaba wake na pia jamaa za watu kwa ulozi wake.
From [the] abundance of [the] prostitution of a prostitute good of grace a mistress of sorceries who sells nations by prostitution her and clans by sorceries her.
5 Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote anasema, “Mimi ni kinyume na ninyi. Nitafunika uso wako kwa gauni lako. Nitaonyesha mataifa uchi wako na falme aibu yako.
Here I [am] against you [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts and I will uncover skirts your on face your and I will show nations nakedness your and kingdoms shame your.
6 Nitakutupia uchafu, nitakufanyia dharau na kukufanya kioja.
And I will throw on you detestable things and I will treat with contempt you and I will make you like a spectacle.
7 Wote wanaokuona watakukimbia na kusema, ‘Ninawi ipo katika kuangamia: ni nani atakayeomboleza kwa ajili yake?’ Nitampata wapi yeyote wa kukufariji?”
And it will be all [those who] see you he will flee from you and he will say it is devastated Nineveh who? will he show sympathy to it from where? will I seek comforters for you.
8 Je, wewe ni bora kuliko No-Amoni, uliopo katika Mto Naili, uliozungukwa na maji? Mto ulikuwa kinga yake, nayo maji yalikuwa ukuta wake.
¿ Have you been made good more than No Amon that was dwelling among the canals water [was] all around it which rampart [was the] sea [was] from sea wall its.
9 Kushi na Misri walikuwa nguvu zake zisizo na mpaka; Putu na Libia walikuwa miongoni mwa wale walioungana naye.
Cush [was] strength its and Egypt and there not [was] an end Put and [the] Libyans they were help your.
10 Hata hivyo alichukuliwa mateka na kwenda uhamishoni. Watoto wake wachanga walivunjwa vunjwa vipande kwenye mwanzo wa kila barabara. Kura zilipigwa kwa watu wake wenye heshima, na watu wake wote wakuu walifungwa kwa minyororo.
Also it to exile it went in captivity also children its they were dashed in pieces at [the] head of all [the] streets and on honored [people] its they cast a lot and all great [people] its they were bound with fetters.
11 Wewe pia utalewa; utakwenda mafichoni na kutafuta kimbilio kutoka kwa adui.
Also you you will become drunk it will be hidden also you you will seek a refuge from [the] enemy.
12 Ngome zako zote ni kama mitini yenye matunda yake ya kwanza yaliyoiva; wakati inapotikiswa, tini huanguka kwenye kinywa chake alaye.
All fortifications your [are] fig trees with first-fruits if they will be shaken and they will fall on [the] mouth of an eater.
13 Tazama vikosi vyako: wote ni wanawake! Malango ya nchi yako yamekuwa wazi kwa adui zako; moto umeteketeza mapingo yake.
There! people your [are] women in midst your to enemies your certainly they will be opened [the] gates of land your it will consume fire bars your.
14 Teka maji kwa ajili ya kuzingirwa kwako, imarisha ulinzi wako, Ufanyie udongo wa mfinyanzi kazi, yakanyage matope, karabati tanuru la kuchomea matofali!
Water of siege draw for yourself strengthen fortifications your go in the clay and trample on the mortar take hold of a brick mold.
15 Huko moto utakuteketeza, huko upanga utakuangusha chini na kama vile panzi, watakumaliza. Ongezeka kama panzi, ongezeka kama nzige!
There it will consume you fire it will cut off you [the] sword it will consume you like the locust make yourself numerous like the locust make yourself numerous like the locust.
16 Umeongeza idadi ya wafanyabiashara wako mpaka wamekuwa wengi kuliko nyota za angani, lakini kama nzige wanaacha nchi tupu kisha huruka na kwenda zake.
You have increased traders your more than [the] stars of the heavens a locust it strips off and it flew away.
17 Walinzi wako ni kama nzige, maafisa wako ni kama makundi ya nzige watuao kwenye kuta wakati wa siku ya baridi: lakini wakati jua linapotokea wanaruka kwenda zao, na hakuna ajuaye waendako.
Courtiers your [are] like the locust and officials your [are] like a locust of locusts which encamp in the walls on a day of coldness [the] sun it rises and it flees and not it is known place its where [are]? they.
18 Ee mfalme wa Ashuru, wachungaji wako wanasinzia; wakuu wako wanalala chini mavumbini kupumzika. Watu wako wametawanyika juu ya milima bila kuwa na mtu yeyote wa kuwakusanya.
They are slumbering shepherds your O king of Assyria they settle down nobles your they are scattered people your on the mountains and there not [is one who] gathers [them].
19 Hakuna kitu kinachoweza kuponya jeraha lako; jeraha lako ni la kukuua. Kila anayesikia habari zako, hupiga makofi kwa kuanguka kwako, kwa kuwa ni nani ambaye hajaguswa na ukatili wako usio na mwisho?
There not [is] relief for fracture your [is] severe wound your all - [those who] hear report your they strike a palm on you for over whom? not has it passed evil your continually.
