Nahum 3
1 Asi pay ti siudad a napnoan iti dara! Napnoan daytoy iti kinaulbod ken natakaw a sanikua; adda a kanayon ti dangdangranna.
Woe to the city of blood! it is all full of lies and robbery; never ceaseth the preying;
2 Ngem ita, adda dagiti kanabsiit dagiti baut, ken ti daranudor ti karadakad dagiti pilid, ti dalagudog dagiti kabalio ken darison dagiti karwahe.
The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of wheels, and of prancing horses, and of the skipping chariots.
3 Adda dagiti mangdardarup nga agkabkabalio a lallaki, sumilengsileng a kampilan, gumilapgilap a gayang, gabsuon dagiti bangkay, adu a bunton dagiti natay. Awan patingga dagiti natay; dagiti mangdardarup kadakuada ket maitubtublak kadagiti rabawda.
Horsemen mount, and there are the flaming sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and heaps of carcasses; and without end are the corpses; they stumble on their corpses;
4 Mapaspasamak daytoy gapu kadagiti naderrep nga aramid ti napintas a balangkantis, ti eksperto iti panaggamud, a mangilaklako kadagiti nasion babaen ti kinabalangkantisna, ken kadagiti tattao babaen iti pananggamgamudna.
Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the harlot, that is rich in gracefulness, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 “Kitaenyo, bumusorak kadakayo”— kastoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin. “Ilukaiskonto ti kainmo agingga iti rupam ket ipakitak kadagiti nasion dagiti nakalemmeng a paset ti bagim, a pakaibabainam kadagiti pagarian.
Behold, I will be against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will lay thy skirts open over thy face, and I will let nations see thy nakedness, and kingdoms thy shame.
6 Ipurwakkonto kenka ti makarimon a rugit ket pagbalinenka a naalas; pagbalinenka a kas maysa a banag a kitaen dagiti amin a tattao.
And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and defile thee, and will render thee a dirt-heap.
7 Ket mapasamakto, nga amin dagiti kumita kenka ket itarayandakanto ket ibagana, 'Nadadaelen ti Nineve; siasino ti mangdung-aw kenkuana?' Sadino ti pakasarakak iti siasinoman a mangliwliwa kenka?”
And it shall come to pass, that all they that see thee shall flee from thee, and say, Laid waste is Nineveh: who will condole with her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8 O Nineve, nasaysayaatka aya ngem ti Tebes, a naipatakder iti tengnga ti Karayan Nilo, nga adda danum iti aglawlawna, a ti sarikedkedna ket ti baybay, a ti paderna ket ti baybay mismo?
Art thou better than No-amon, that was situated on the rivers, that had water round about her, the rampart of which was the sea, and the walls of which rose out of the sea?
9 Ti Etiopia ken Egipto ti pigsana, ket awan ti patinggana daytoy; Kabadangna ti Put ken Libia.
Ethiopia the numerous, and Egypt that was without end, Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 Nupay kasta, ti Tebes ket naipanaw; naibalud daytoy; narumek dagiti annakda kadagiti nagsulian dagiti kalsada; nagbibinnunot dagiti kabusorna nga agpaay kadagiti mararaem a tattaona, ket amin dagiti natan-ok a lallakina ket nakawaran.
Yet also she was exiled, was carried away into captivity; also her young children were dashed in pieces at the corners of all streets: and for her honorable men they cast lots, and all her great ones were bound with chains.
11 Mabartekkanto met; padasemto ti aglemmeng, ken agbirukkanto iti pagkamangam manipud iti kabusormo.
Thou also shalt be made drunken, thou shalt be hidden from view: thou also shalt seek refuge because of the enemy.
12 Amin dagiti pagkamangam ket kaslanto iti kayo ti igos a naluom dagiti immuna a bungana: no maigungon dagitoy, matnag dagitoy iti ngiwat dagiti mangmangan.
All thy strong-holds shall be like fig-trees with the first ripe figs, which, if they be shaken, will fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Kitaem, dagiti tattao iti ayanyo ket babbai; nailukat dagiti ruangan ti dagam kadagiti kabusormo; inalun-on ti apuy dagiti balunetda.
Behold, thy people are become women in the midst of thee: unto thy enemies are the gates of thy land set wide open; the fire hath devoured thy bars.
14 Mapanka sumakdo iti danum a maipaay iti pannakalakub; papigsaem dagiti sarikedkedmo; inka iti ayan ti pila ket payatam ti mortar; isaganam dagiti pagsukogan kadagiti nadrilio.
Water for the siege draw for thyself, fortify thy strongholds: go into the clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
15 Ikisapnakanto ti apuy sadiay, ket dadaelennakanto ti kampilam. Alun-onennakanto a kas iti pangalun-on dagiti babassit a dudon iti amin a banbanag. Paadduem ti bagim a kas iti kaadu dagiti babassit a dudon, kas kaadu dagiti dadakkelen a dudon.
There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall devour thee up like the cankerworm: [though] thou make thyself many as the cankerworm; make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Pinaadum dagiti pagtagtagilakoem ket ad-adda pay ngem kadagiti bituen iti langit; ngem kasda la babassit a dudon: samsamenda ti daga kalpasanna ket tumayabda.
[Though] thou hadst multiplied thy merchants more than the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spreadeth itself out, and flieth away.
17 Dagiti prinsipem ket kas kaadu dagiti dadakkelen a dudon, dagiti panguloen dagiti soldadom ket kasda la pangen ti dudon a kumpet kadagiti pader no kasta nalam-ek ti aldaw. Ngem no kasta a sumingisingen ti init, tumayabda nga awan makaamo no sadino ti pagturonganda.
Thy crowned ones are like the locusts, and thy leaders like the swarms of locusts, which camp in the hedges on a cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Ari ti Asiria, matmaturog dagiti pastormo; agin-innana dagiti mangiturturaymo. Naiwara-wara dagiti tattaom kadagiti bantay, ket awan ti mangurnong kadakuada.
Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; thy valiant men are at rest: scattered are thy people upon the mountains, and there is none that gathereth them.
19 Awan ti mabalin a makaagas kadagiti sugatmo. Nakaro unay ti sugatmo. Agpalakpak iti ragsak dagiti amin a makangngeg iti damag maipapan kenka. Siasino aya ti nakalasat iti saan nga agbalbaliw a kinadangkesmo?
There is no healing for thy breach; fatal is thy wound: all that hear the report of thee will clap their hands over thee; for over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually?
