Nahum 2
1 Umayen ti tao a mangrebbek kenka. Bantayam dagiti pader ti siudad, guardiaam dagiti dalan, papigsaem ta bagim, ummongem dagiti armadam.
He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 Ta isubsubli ni Yahweh ti kinatan-ok ni Jacob, kas iti kinatan-ok ti Israel, uray dinadael ida dagiti mangsamsamsam ken dinadaelda dagiti sanga ti ubasda.
For the LORD bringeth again the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 Nalabbaga dagiti kalasag dagiti maingel a tattaona, ken nakakawes iti nalabbaga dagiti natutured a lallaki; agraniag dagiti landok ti karwahe iti aldaw a panagsaganada, ken naiwaradiwad iti tangatang dagiti sipres a gayang.
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the spears are shaken terribly.
4 Napegges ti panagtaray dagiti karwahe kadagiti kalsada; agdardarasda nga agsubli-subli kadagiti nalawa a kalkalsada. Kasdala dagiti pagsilawan ken agtatarayda a kasla kimat.
The chariots rage in the streets, they justle one against another in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches, they run like the lightnings.
5 Ay-ayaban ti tao a mangrebbek kenka dagiti opisyalna; maitublakda iti tunggal maysa iti pannagnada; agdardarasda a mangraut iti pader ti siudad. Naisaganan ti dakkel a kalasag a mangsalaknib kadagitoy a mangraraut.
He remembereth his worthies: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
6 Napilit a nailukat dagiti ruangan kadagiti karayan, ket nadadael ti palasio.
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7 Naussoban ti pagan-anay ti reyna ken naitalaw; agas-asug dagiti adipenna a babbai a kasla dagiti kalapati, dandanugenda dagiti barukongda.
And Huzzab is uncovered, she is carried away, and her handmaids mourn as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8 Ti Ninive ket kasla naisawang a danum, a kasla napegges a danum nga agliblibas dagiti tattaona. Ipukpukkaw dagiti dadduma, “Agsardengkayo, agsardengkayo,” ngem awan ti tumalyaw.
But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away; Stand, stand, [they cry]; but none looketh back.
9 Alaenyo ti nasamsam a pirak, alaenyo ti nasamsam a balitok, gapu ta awan patingga daytoy, ti dayag dagiti amin a napipintas a banbanag ti Nineve.
Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store, the glory of all pleasant furniture.
10 Langalang ken nadadael ti Nineve. Marunaw ti puso iti tunggal maysa, agtitim-og dagiti tumtumeng ti tunggal maysa, ken adda ladingit iti tunggal maysa; pimmusyaw amin dagiti rupada.
She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale.
11 Sadino ngay itan ti rukib ti leon, ti lugar a pangpanganan dagiti urbon a leon, ti lugar a pagpagnaan ti leon ken ti kabaian a leon, agraman dagiti urbon a leon, no sadino ket awan ti pagbutbutnganda?
Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion [and] the lioness walked, the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 Rinangrangkay ti leon ti natiliwna para kadagiti annakna; Binekkelna dagiti natiliwna a maipaay iti kabaian a leon, ken pinunnona ti rukibna kadagiti natiliwna, ken ti rukibna kadagiti narangrangkay a natay a bagi ti ayup.
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13 “Kitaem, bimmusorak kenka”—kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Uramekto dagiti karwahem iti asuk, ken alun-onento ti kampilan dagiti urbon a leonmo. Pukawekto ti sinamsammo manipud iti dagam, ken saanton a mangngegan pay dagiti timek dagiti mensaherom.”
Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
