< Naⱨum 2 >

1 Bitqit ⱪilidiƣan birsi kɵz aldingƣila kǝldi; Əmdi istiⱨkam üstidǝ kɵzǝt ⱪil, Yolƣa ⱪara, belingni baƣla, küqliringni yiƣip tehimu küqǝyt!
Nineveh! The destroyer has come up against you; mount guard upon the rampart; watch the road; brace yourselves; strengthen your might to the utmost.
2 (Qünki Pǝrwǝrdigar Yaⱪupning xan-xǝripini ǝsligǝ kǝltürdi, Uni Israilning xan-xǝripigǝ layiⱪ dǝrijidǝ ǝsligǝ kǝltürdi; Qünki ⱪuruⱪdiƣuqilar ularni ⱪuruⱪdap ⱪoyƣanidi, Ularning üzüm tal xahlirini wǝyran ⱪilƣanidi).
For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob and of Israel, though the devastators have plundered them and destroyed their vines.
3 [Bitqit ⱪilƣuqining] palwanlirining ⱪalⱪanliri ⱪizil boyaldi, Uning baturliri pǝrǝngdǝ kiygüzüldi; Tǝyyarliⱪ künidǝ, jǝng ⱨarwiliri polatning julasida yaltirap ketidu, Nǝyzilǝr oynitilidu;
The shields of his warriors are dyed red, his soldiers are clothed in scarlet, his chariots gleam like fire on the day he prepares for battle spears are shaken.
4 Jǝng ⱨarwiliri koqilarda güldürlixip qepixiwatidu; Kǝng yollarda bir-birigǝ soⱪulidu; Ularning ⱪiyapiti mǝx’ǝllǝrdǝk bolidu, Ular qaⱪmaⱪlardǝk yügürüxidu.
Chariots rush across the fields, storm through the squares; they flame like torches, they dart like lightening.
5 [Sǝrdar] ǝmirlirigǝ ǝmr qüxüridu; Ular yürüx ⱪilƣinida aldiriƣinidin bir-birigǝ putlixip mangidu; Ninǝwǝning sepiliƣa ⱪarap aldiraydu, [Baxliriƣa] bolsa «muⱨasirǝ ⱪalⱪini» tǝyyarlinidu.
A leader rallies his nobles, they hurl themselves forward. They speed on toward the wall; the storming-shield is set up.
6 «Dǝryalarning dǝrwaziliri» eqilidu, [Padixaⱨning] ordisi erip ketidu.
The water-gates are thrown open, and the palace dissolves in ruins.
7 Huzzabning bolsa uyatliri eqilidu — [Düxmǝn] tǝripidin yalap epketilidu, Dedǝkliri huddi pahtǝklǝrning sadasidǝk aⱨ-uⱨ tartip, Mǝydilirini urup ketidu.
The queen is stripped, she is carried off. Her maids moan like doves, beating upon their breasts.
8 Ninǝwǝ apiridǝ bolƣandin beri kɵl süyidǝk [tinq] bolup kǝldi, Biraⱪ ular ⱨazir ⱪeqip ketidu... Əy tohta! Əy tohta! — Biraⱪ ⱨeqkim kǝynigǝ ⱪarimaydu.
Like a pool of water is Nineveh, her waters fast ebbing away. ‘Stand firm! Stand firm!’ someone cries, but no one turns back.
9 Kümüxlǝrni buliwelinglar, altunlarni buliwelinglar; Qünki uning xǝwkǝtlik hǝzinisidiki ⱪimmǝt ⱪaqa-ⱪuqilirining sani yoⱪtur.
‘Loot the silver, loot the gold, for there is no end to the treasure, the wealth and precious things.’
10 U ⱪuruⱪdalƣan, wǝyran ⱪilinƣan, bǝrbat bolƣan! Yüriki erip ketidu, Tizliri bir-birigǝ jalaⱪlap tǝgmǝktǝ; Bǝlliri tolƣaⱪ tutⱪandǝk tolƣinidu, Barliⱪ yüzlǝr tatirip ketidu.
Nineveh is empty, desolate, devastated, with faint heart and knocking knee. There is weakness in every limb, and faces grow pale.
11 Ⱪeni, xirlarning uwisi? Yax xirlar ozuⱪlinidiƣan jay, Xir, qixi xir, xir arslini ⱨeqkimdin ⱪorⱪmay yürgǝn jay ⱪeni?
Where now is the den of lions? Where now the lair of their young? Where the lion used to withdraw, with his cubs, with none to disturb them?
12 Xir ɵz arslanlirini ⱪanduruxⱪa owlarni titma-titma ⱪilƣanidi, Qixi xirliri üqün owlarni boƣⱪanidi; Ɵngkürlirini ow bilǝn, uwilirini olja bilǝn toxⱪuzƣanidi.
The lion tore enough for his cubs, and strangled prey for his lionesses. He filled his caves with the kill, he filled his lairs with fresh meat.
13 Mana, Mǝn sanga ⱪarximǝn, — dǝydu samawi ⱪoxunlarning Sǝrdari bolƣan Pǝrwǝrdigar; Mǝn sening jǝng ⱨarwiliringni is-tütǝkkǝ aylandurup kɵydüriwetimǝn; Ⱪiliq yax xirliringni yǝwatidu, Owangni yǝr yüzidin elip taxlaymǝn; Əlqiliringning awazliri ⱪayta ⱨeq anglanmaydu.
‘But see, I am against you,’ the Lord of hosts declares, ‘I will burn your chariots in smoke and fire. The sword will devour your young lions. You will never again prey on the land. No more will your messengers be heard.’
