< Nahum 3 >
1 Qanliq sheherge way! U yalghanchiliq, zulum-zorawanliq bilen tolghan, U olja élishtin héch qol üzgen emes!
Terrible things will happen to [Nineveh], that city [that is full of people who] murder [MTY] and lie. [The city is] full of things that were seized [from other countries by their soldiers]; [their armies] continually [LIT] have acted brutally towards people whom they conquered.
2 Ah, qamchining qarsildashliri! Chaqlirining daqangshiwatqan, Atlarning chapchiwatqan, Pingildap kétiwatqan jeng harwilirining sadaliri!
But [now listen to the enemy soldiers coming to attack Nineveh]; [listen to them] cracking their whips, and [listen to the] rattle of [their chariot] wheels! [Listen to] their galloping horses and their chariots as they bounce along!
3 Qara, atliq leshkerlerning qangqishliri, Qilichlarning walildashliri, Neyzilerning palildashliri, Öltürülgenlerning köplüki, Ölükler döwe-döwe! Jesetlerning sani yoqtur; Ular jesetlerge putlishidu.
[Look at their] flashing swords and glittering spears as the horsemen race forward! Many [people of Nineveh will be] killed; [there will be] piles of corpses, [with the result that] people will stumble over them.
4 — Séhirlerning piri u, — Ellerni pahishiwazliqi, Jemetlerni séhirliri bilen sétiwétidu; Sen shérinsuxen pahishining nurghun pahishilikliri tüpeylidin,
All [that will happen] because [Nineveh is like] [MET] a beautiful prostitute [who lures men to where they will be ruined]; [Nineveh is a beautiful city] which has attracted/enticed [people of] other nations [to come there]. [The people of Nineveh] taught those people [of other nations rituals of] magic, and caused them to become their slaves.
5 Mana, Men sanga qarshiliship chiqqanmen, — — deydu samawiy qoshunlarning Serdari bolghan Perwerdigar, Könglikingning étikini qayrip yüzüngge yépip, séni ashkarilaymen, Ellerge uyat yerliringni, Padishahliqlargha nomusungni körsitimen.
[So] the Commander of the armies of angels says to [the people of Nineveh]: “I am your enemy, and I will [cause the people in other] nations to see you [completely] humiliated like [MET] [women who have committed adultery are humiliated by] having their skirts lifted high, [with the result that] people can see their naked [bodies].
6 Üstüngge nijasetni tashlaymen, Séni shermendichilikte qaldurimen, Séni reswa qilimen.
I will cause rubbish/garbage to be thrown at you; I will show [others] that I despise you very much, and I will cause you to be publicly ridiculed.
7 We shundaq boliduki, Séni körgenlerning hemmisi sendin qéchip: — «Ninewe weyran qilindi! Uning üchün kim haza tutidu?» — deydu; Men sanga teselli bergüchilerni nedin tépip bérimen?
All those who see you will turn their backs to you and say, ‘Nineveh is ruined, but absolutely no one [RHQ] will mourn for it.’ No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!”
8 Sen deryalarning otturisida turghan, Etrapida sular bolghan, Istihkami déngiz bolghan, Sépili déngiz bolghan No-Amon shehiridin ewzelmusen?
Your city is certainly [RHQ] no safer than Thebes [city] was. [Thebes was an important city] beside the Nile [River]; the river was [like] [SIM] a wall that protected the city [DOU].
9 Éfiopiyemu, Misirmu uning küch-qudriti idi, Ularning küchi cheksiz idi; Put hem Liwiyelikler uninggha yardemchi idi;
[The rulers of] Ethiopia and Egypt helped Thebes; there was no limit to their power. [The governments of the nearby countries of] Put and Libya were also allies of Thebes.
10 Umu élip kétilip, esirlikke chüshken; Barliq kocha béshida bowaqliri chörüp tashliwétildi; Ular uning mötiwerliri üchün chek tashlidi, Uning barliq erbabliri zenjirde baghlan’ghanidi.
But Thebes was captured, and [its people were] (exiled/forced to go to other countries). Their babies were dashed to pieces in the streets [of the city]. [Enemy soldiers] (cast lots/threw small marked stones) to decide who would get each official in Thebes [to become his slave]. All the leaders of Thebes were fastened/tied by chains.
11 Senmu mest bolisen; Sen mökünüwalisen; Sen düshmendin himaye izdep yürisen;
You [people of Nineveh] will similarly become dazed and drunk, and you will search for places to hide [to escape] from your enemies.
12 Séning barliq istihkamliring xuddi tunji méwige kirgen enjür derixining enjürlirige oxshaydu; Birla silkise, ular yégüchining aghzigha chüshidu.
[Your enemies will cause] the walls around your city to fall down like [SIM] the first figs that fall from fig trees [each year]. [Your city will be captured easily, like] [MET] [figs that fall] into the mouths [HYP] of those who shake the fig trees.
13 Mana, xelqing shehiringde qiz-ayallardek bolup qaldi; Zéminingning qowuqliri düshmenliringge keng ichilidu; Ot tömür taqaqliringni yep kétidu.
Look at your soldiers! They will be [as weak/helpless as] [MET] women! The gates of your city will be opened wide [to allow] your enemies [to enter them], [and then] the bars of those gates will be burned.
14 Emdi muhasirige teyyarliq qilip su tartip qoy! Qorghanliringni mustehkemle! Séghiz topidin lay étip, Hak layni cheylep qoy! Xumdanni raslap qoy!
Store up water [now to use when] your enemies surround the city! Repair the forts! Dig up clay and trample it [to make it soft], and put it into molds to make bricks [to repair the walls]!
15 Ot séni shu yerde yep kétidu; Qilich séni üzüp tashlaydu; U séni chéketke lichinkisidek yewatidu; Emdi özüngni chéketke lichinkiliridek köp qil, Chéketkidek özüngni zor köp qil!
[Nevertheless, your enemies] will burn your [city]; they will kill you with their swords; they will kill you like [SIM] locusts [destroy crops].
16 Sen sodigerliringni asmandiki yultuzlardin köp qilding; Mana, chéketke lichinkisi qanat chiqirip, uchup kétidu!
In your [city] there are now very many merchants; [it seems that] there are more of them than there are stars. But [when your city is being destroyed, those merchants will take the valuable things and disappear] [like] [SIM] locusts that strip the leaves from plants and [then] fly away.
17 Séning erbabliring chéketkilerdek, Serdarliring mijir-mijir chaqchiqizlardek bolidu; Mana ular soghuq künide chitlar ichige kiriwélip makan qilidu; Quyash chiqqanda, ular qéchip kétidu, Barghan yérini tapqili bolmaydu.
Your leaders are [also] like a swarm of [SIM] locusts [DOU] that crowd together on the stone fences/walls on a cold day, and [then] fly away when the sun comes up, and no one knows where they have gone.
18 Chopanliring mügdep qaldi, i Asuriyening padishahi; Séning aqsöngekliring jim yatidu; Xelqing taghlar üstige tarqilip ketti, Héchkim ularni yighmaydu;
O King of Assyria, your officials will [all] be dead [EUP]; your important people will lie down and rest [forever]. Your people will be scattered over the mountains, and there will no one to gather them [together].
19 Séning yarang dawasiz, Séning zexming éghirdur; Xewiringni anglighanlarning hemmisi üstüngdin chawak chalidu; Chünki toxtawsiz rezilliking kimning béshigha kelmigendu?
You [are like someone who] has a wound that cannot be healed; [it will be] a wound that causes him to die. And all those who hear about what has happened to you will clap their hands [joyfully]. [They will say, ] “Everyone has [RHQ] suffered because he continually was [very] cruel to us.”
