< Nahum 2 >

1 Bitchit qilidighan birsi köz aldingghila keldi; Emdi istihkam üstide közet qil, Yolgha qara, bélingni baghla, küchliringni yighip téximu kücheyt!
A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.
2 (Chünki Perwerdigar Yaqupning shan-sheripini eslige keltürdi, Uni Israilning shan-sheripige layiq derijide eslige keltürdi; Chünki quruqdighuchilar ularni quruqdap qoyghanidi, Ularning üzüm tal shaxlirini weyran qilghanidi).
For the Lord will make good the vine of Jacob, as well as the vine of Israel: for the wasters have made them waste and sent destruction on the branches of their vine.
3 [Bitchit qilghuchining] palwanlirining qalqanliri qizil boyaldi, Uning baturliri perengde kiygüzüldi; Teyyarliq künide, jeng harwiliri polatning julasida yaltirap kétidu, Neyziler oynitilidu;
The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking.
4 Jeng harwiliri kochilarda güldürliship chépishiwatidu; Keng yollarda bir-birige soqulidu; Ularning qiyapiti mesh’ellerdek bolidu, Ular chaqmaqlardek yügürüshidu.
The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames.
5 [Serdar] emirlirige emr chüshüridu; Ular yürüsh qilghinida aldirighinidin bir-birige putliship mangidu; Ninewening sépiligha qarap aldiraydu, [Bashlirigha] bolsa «muhasire qalqini» teyyarlinidu.
He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.
6 «Deryalarning derwaziliri» échilidu, [Padishahning] ordisi érip kétidu.
The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away.
7 Xuzzabning bolsa uyatliri échilidu — [Düshmen] teripidin yalap épkétilidu, Dédekliri xuddi paxteklerning sadasidek ah-uh tartip, Meydilirini urup kétidu.
And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts.
8 Ninewe apiride bolghandin béri köl süyidek [tinch] bolup keldi, Biraq ular hazir qéchip kétidu... Ey toxta! Ey toxta! — Biraq héchkim keynige qarimaydu.
But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.
9 Kümüshlerni buliwélinglar, altunlarni buliwélinglar; Chünki uning shewketlik xezinisidiki qimmet qacha-quchilirining sani yoqtur.
Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired.
10 U quruqdalghan, weyran qilin’ghan, berbat bolghan! Yüriki érip kétidu, Tizliri bir-birige jalaqlap tegmekte; Belliri tolghaq tutqandek tolghinidu, Barliq yüzler tatirip kétidu.
Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
11 Qéni, shirlarning uwisi? Yash shirlar ozuqlinidighan jay, Shir, chishi shir, shir arslini héchkimdin qorqmay yürgen jay qéni?
Where is the lions' hole, the place where the young lions got their food, where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young, without cause for fear?
12 Shir öz arslanlirini qandurushqa owlarni titma-titma qilghanidi, Chishi shirliri üchün owlarni boghqanidi; Öngkürlirini ow bilen, uwilirini olja bilen toshquzghanidi.
Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.
13 Mana, Men sanga qarshimen, — deydu samawi qoshunlarning Serdari bolghan Perwerdigar; Men séning jeng harwiliringni is-tütekke aylandurup köydüriwétimen; Qilich yash shirliringni yewatidu, Owangni yer yüzidin élip tashlaymen; Elchiliringning awazliri qayta héch anglanmaydu.
See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever.
