Nahumu 3
1 Ole kwa mji uliojaa damu! Wote umejaa uongo na mali za wizi; wahanga wapo kwake daima.
woe! city blood all her lie plunder full not to remove prey
2 Lakini sasa kunasauti ya mijeledi na sauti za kugongesha matairi, farasi wakicheza, na magari ya vita yanaruka ruka.
voice: sound whip and voice quaking wheel and horse to rush and chariot to skip about
3 Kuna wapanda farasi wanashambulia, Upanga unang'ara, mikuki inametameta, marundo ya maiti, mafungu makubwa ya miili; hakuna ukomo wa miili, washambuliaji wanajikwaa juu yake.
horseman to ascend: rise and flame sword and lightning spear and abundance slain: killed and heaviness corpse and nothing end to/for body (and to stumble *Q(K)*) in/on/with body their
4 Hii inatokea kwa sababu ya matendo ya tamaa ya kahaba mzuri, mzoefu wa uchawi, mwenye kuuza taifa kwa umalaya wake, na watu kwa njia ya matendo yake ya kichawi.
from abundance fornication to fornicate pleasant favor mistress sorcery [the] to sell nation in/on/with fornication her and family in/on/with sorcery her
5 “Tazama, mimi nipo kinyume na wewe- hili ni neno la Yehova wa majeshi- sketi yako nitaiinua juu ya uso wako na kuzionyesha sehemu zako za siri kwa mataifa, aibu yako kwa falme.
look! I to(wards) you utterance LORD Hosts and to reveal: uncover hem your upon face your and to see: see nation nakedness your and kingdom dishonor your
6 Nitarusha uchafu wa kuchukiza na kukufanya uwe mbaya sana; nitakufanya uwe mtu wa kutazamwa na kila mmoja.
and to throw upon you abomination and be senseless you and to set: make you like/as sight
7 Itakuwa kwamba kila mmoja anayekutazama atakukimbia na kusema, “Ninawi ameharibika; ni nani ataomboleza kwa ajili yake?' Ni wapi nitampata mtu anayeweza kukufariji?”
and to be all to see: see you to wander from you and to say to ruin Nineveh who? to wander to/for her from where? to seek to be sorry: comfort to/for you
8 Ninawi, je wewe ni bora kuliko Noamoni, uliojengwa juu ya Mto Naili, uliokuwa umezungukwa na maji, ambao ulinzi wake ilikuwa bahari, ambao ukuta wake ilikuwa bahari yenyewe?
be good from Thebes Amon [the] to dwell in/on/with Nile water around to/for her which rampart sea from sea wall her
9 Ethiopia na Misri zilikuwa nguvu zake, na mwisho wake haukuwepo; Putu na Libya walikuwa rafiki zake.
Cush strength her and Egypt and nothing end Put and Libyan to be in/on/with help your
10 Lakini Noamoni alichukuliwa; alikwenda kwenye mateka; watoto wake wadogo walivunjwa vipande vipande katika kila makao makuu ya mtaa; adui zake walipiga kura kwa watu wake wenye heshima na wakuu wake wote walifungwa minyororo.
also he/she/it to/for captivity to go: went in/on/with captivity also infant her to dash in pieces in/on/with head: top all outside and upon to honor: honour her to cast a lot allotted and all great: large her to bind in/on/with fetter
11 Wewe pia utalewa; utajaribu kujificha, na utatafuta makimbilio kutoka kwa adui yako.
also you(f. s.) be drunk to be to conceal also you(f. s.) to seek security from enemy
12 Ngome zako zote zitakuwa kama mitini yenye tini zilizoiva mapema: kama zikitikiswa, zitaangukia kwenye kimywa cha mlaji.
all fortification your fig with firstfruit if to shake and to fall: fall upon lip to eat
13 Tazama, watu miongoni mwenu ni wanawake; malango ya nchi yako yamefunguliwa sana kwa ajili ya adui zako; moto umeharibu bawaba zake.
behold people: soldiers your woman in/on/with entrails: among your to/for enemy your to open to open gate land: country/planet your to eat fire bar your
14 Nenda ukachote maji kwenye boma iliyozingirwa; ziimarishe ngome zako; nenda kwenye udongo na kandamiza matope; finyanga kwa ajili ya matofali.
water siege to draw to/for you to strengthen: strengthen fortification your to come (in): come in/on/with mud and to trample in/on/with clay to strengthen: hold brick
15 Moto utakuteketeza pale, na upanga utakuangamiza. Utateketezwa kama nzige wachanga wanavyoteketeza kila kitu. Ninyi wenyewe mjitengeneze kuwa wengi kama nzige wachanga, na wengi kama nzinge waliopevuka.
there to eat you fire to cut: cut you sword to eat you like/as locust to honor: many like/as locust to honor: many like/as locust
16 Umezidisha wafanyabiashara wako zaidi kuliko nyota mbinguni; lakini wapo kama tunutu: wanapora nchi na kisha kuruka kwenda mbali.
to multiply to trade your from star [the] heaven locust to strip and to fly
17 Wafalme wenu wapo wengi kama zinge, na wakuu wenu wa majeshi ni kama kundi la wadudu wenye kuweka kambi katika ukuta wakati wa baridi. Lakini jua linapowaka wanaruka kwenda mbali ambako hakuna anayepajua.
prince your like/as locust and official your like/as locust locust [the] to camp in/on/with wall in/on/with day cold sun to rise and to wander and not to know place his where? they
18 Mfalme wa Ashuru, wachungaji wako wamelala; watawala wako wamejilaza chini kupumzika. Watu wako wametawanyika juu ya milima, na hakuna hata mmoja wa kuwakusanya.
to slumber to pasture your king Assyria to dwell great your to scatter people your upon [the] mountain: mount and nothing to gather
19 Hakuna uponyaji unaowezekana kwa ajili ya vidonda vyako. Vidonda vyako ni vikubwa. Wanaosikia habari juu yako watapiga makofi kwa furaha juu yako. Ni nani aliyejiepusha kwa uovu wako wa daima?
nothing easing to/for breaking your be weak: grieved wound your all to hear: hear report your to blow palm upon you for upon who? not to pass distress: evil your continually
