Nahuma 3
1 A UWE ke kulanakauhale koko! Ua piha oia a pau i ka wahahee, a me ka powa; Aole e laweia'ku ke pio;
O city of blood, wholly false, full of unrighteousness; the prey shall not be handled.
2 O ka poha o ka huipa, a o ka halulu o ke kaa ana o na kaa, A o ka holo ana o na lio, a o ka lele ana o na halekaa.
The noise of whips, and the noise of the rumbling of wheels, and of the pursuing horse, and of the bounding chariot,
3 Kaikai ae ka hoohololio i ka pahikaua wakawaka a me ka ihe huali; A he nui ka poe i pepehiia, a he nui na kupapau; Aohe hope o na heana, A hina lakou maluna o ko lakou mau heana.
and of the mounting rider, and of the glittering sword, and of the gleaming arms, and of a multitude of slain, and of heavy falling: and there was no end to her nations, but they shall be weak in their bodies
4 No ka nui o na moe kolohe ana o ka wahine maikai hookamakama, Nona na anaana. Ka mea kuai i na lahuikanaka ma kona moe kolohe ana, A me na ohana, ma kona mau anaana ana;
because of the abundance of fornication: [she is] a fair harlot, and well-favoured, skilled in sorcery, that sells the nations by her fornication, and peoples by her sorceries.
5 Aia hoi, ua maka e aku au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua; A e huli ae au i kou kapa maluna o kou maka, A e hoike aku au i kou olohelohe ana i na lahuikanaka, A i kou hilahila i na aupuni.
Behold, I am against you, says the Lord God Almighty, and I will uncover your skirts in your presence, and I will show the nations your shame, and the kingdoms your disgrace.
6 A e hoolei aku au maluna ou i na mea haumia, A e hoolilo au ia oe i mea e manao ole ia, A e hooku au ia oe i mea e makaikaiia.
And I will cast abominable filth upon you according to your unclean ways, and will make you a public example.
7 A o na mea a pau e nana aku ia oe, Holo no lakou mai ou aku la, me ka i ana aku, Ua lukuia o Nineva! Owai la ka mea e auwe ia ia? A mahea la wau e imi aku ai i na mea hooluolu nou?
And it shall be [that] every one that sees you shall go down from you, and shall say, Wretched Nineve! who shall lament for her? whence shall I seek comfort for her?
8 Ua oi anei kou maikai mamua o ko No-Amona, Ka mea e noho ana ma na muliwai, Ua hoopuniia oia e na wai, O ke kai kona paku, a o kona papohaku mai ke kai mai ia?
Prepare you a portion, tune the chord, prepare a portion for Ammon: she that dwells among the rivers, water is round about her, whose dominion is the sea, and whose walls are water.
9 O Aitiopa kona ikaika a me Aigupita, aohe heluia; O Puta a me Lubima kou mau mea kokua.
And Ethiopia is her strength, and Egypt; and there was no limit of the flight [of her enemies]; and the Libyans became her helpers.
10 Aka, ua laweia'ku oia, ua hele pio aku ia; A ua ulupaia kana mau keiki liilii ma ke poo o na alanui a pau: A hailona lakou no kona poe kanaka hanohano, A ua hoopaaia kona mau kanaka nui a pau i na kaulahao.
Yet she shall go as a prisoner into captivity, and they shall dash her infants against the ground at the top of all her ways: and they shall cast lots upon all her glorious [possessions], and all her nobles shall be bound in chains.
11 A e ona no hoi oe, a e hunaia oe; A e imi no oe i ka ikaika no ka poe enemi.
And you shall be drunken, and shall be overlooked; and you shall seek for yourself strength because of [your] enemies.
12 A e like kou mau wahi paa me ka laau fiku, me ka hua pala mua, Ina e hooluliia, e haule iho lakou iloko o ka waha o ka mea e ai ana.
All your strongholds are as fig-trees having watchers: if they be shaken, they shall fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Aia hoi, o kou poe kanaka iwaena ou, ua like me na wahine; A e hoohamama loa ia na pukapa o kou aina i kou poe enemi; A e hoopau ke ahi i kou mau kaola.
Behold, your people within you are as women: the gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies: the fire shall devour your bars.
14 E hukiwai ae nou, no ka popilikia, E hoopaa oe i kou mau wahi paa; E komo oe iloko o ka lepo, a e hehi iho i ka lepo kawili, A e hoopaa i kahi puhi pohaku-ula.
Draw you water for a siege, and well secure your strongholds: enter into the clay, and be you trodden in the chaff, make [the fortifications] stronger than brick.
15 Malaila e hoopau ai ke ahi ia oe; E oki mai ka pahikaua ia oe, E ai iho no ia ia oe, e like me ka uhini huluhulu: E hoomahuahua ia oe iho e like me ka uhini huluhulu; Hoonui ia oe iho e like me ka uhini nui.
There the fire shall devour you; the sword shall utterly destroy you, it shall devour you as the locust, and you shall be pressed down as a palmerworm.
16 Ua hoonui oe i kou poe kalepa mamua o na hoku o ka lani: Hoopalahalaha aku ka uhini huluhulu, a lele aku la.
You have multiplied your merchandise beyond the stars of heaven: the palmerworm has attacked [it], and has flown away.
17 Ua like kou poe alii me na uhini, A o kou poe lunakoa e like me na uhini nui loa, Ka mea e kau ana ma ka papohaku i ka la anu, A puka mai ka la, lele aku lakou, aole i ikeia ko lakou wahi.
Your mixed [multitude] has suddenly departed as the grasshopper, as the locust perched on a hedge in a frosty day; the sun arises, and it flies off, and knows not its place: woe to them!
18 Ke hiamoe nei kou poe kahuhipa, e ke alii o Asuria: E noho iho kou poe alii; Ua hoopuehuia kou poe kanaka ma na mauna, Aohe mea nana lakou e hoakoakoa mai.
Your shepherds have slumbered, the Assyrian king has laid low your mighty men: your people departed to the mountains, and there was none to receive [them].
19 Aohe mea hoola i kou eha ana; ua nui kou eha; O ka poe a pau e lohe i kou lono, e paipai lakou i ko lakou lima maluna ou; No ka mea, maluna owai anei i hele mau ole aku ai kou hewa?
There is no healing for your bruise; your wound has rankled: all that hear the report of you shall clap their hands against you; for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually?
