1 H e who dashes in pieces is come up before your face. Keep the fortress and ramparts manned, watch the road, gird your loins, collect and fortify all your strength and power mightily.

Kii wax burburinayay waa u soo baxay hortiinna. Qalcaddiinna dhawra, oo jidka ilaaliya, oo guntiga isku giijiya, oo xooggiinnana si weyn u adkeeya.

2 F or the Lord restores the excellency of Jacob as the excellency of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and emptied them out and destroyed their vine branches.

Waayo, Rabbigu sharaftii reer Yacquub wuu u soo celinayaa sidii sharaftii reer binu Israa'iil oo kale, waayo, kuwii wax dhici jiray ayaa dhacay, oo laamahoodii canabka ahaana way wada baabbi'iyeen.

3 T he shields of the mighty men are red; the valiant men are in dyed scarlet. The chariots blaze with fire of steel on the day of his preparation, and the officers’ horses prance like a cypress forest.

Oo raggiisa xoogga badan gaashaankoodiina waa la caseeyey, oo ragga dagaalyahanka ahuna waxay xidhaan dhar guduudan, oo maalintii isdiyaarintiisana gaadhifardoodyadu waa bir widhwidha, oo warmihiina waa loo ruxay si cabsi badan.

4 T he chariots rage in confusion in the streets; they run to and fro in the broad ways. They flash with steel; they rush like forked lightnings.

Gaadhifardoodyada ayaa jidadka dhexdooda ka gurdamaya, oo jidadka balballaadhan ayaa midkoodba kan kale ku cidhiidhinaya, oo muuqashadooduna waa sida qori iftiimaya oo kale, waxayna u ordayaan sida hillaaca oo kale.

5 r emembers and summons his bravest men; they stumble in their march. They hasten to the city’s wall, and their movable defense shelter is prepared and set up.

Wuxuu xusuustaa geesiyaashiisii, way turunturoodaan markay socdaan, oo derbigay ku degdegayaan, gabbaadkana waa la diyaariyey.

6 T he gates or dams of the rivers are opened and the palace is dissolved and is in dismay.

Irdihii webiyaashu way furmeen, oo gurigii boqorkuna waa baabba'ay.

7 I t is decreed. She is stripped and removed, and her maids are lamenting and moaning like doves, beating upon their breasts.

Husab waa qaawan tahay, iyadii waa la kaxaystay, oo addoommaheediina waxay ugu musannaabayaan cod u eg midka qoolleyda oo kale, laabtana way garaacayaan.

8 A nd Nineveh, like a standing pool are her waters and are fleeing away! Stand! Stand, but no one looks back or causes them to return.

Laakiinse Nineweh waxay tan iyo waagii hore ahaan jirtay sidii balli biya ah, habase yeeshee way cararayaan. Waxaa lagu qayliyaa, War jooga, jooga! laakiinse ninna dib uma eego.

9 T ake the spoil of silver; take the spoil of gold! For there is no end of the treasure, the glory and wealth of all the precious furnishings.

War lacagta dhaca, oo dahabka dhaca, waayo, kaydka iyo maalka wacan oo sharafta leh oo dhammu innaba dhammaad ma leh.

10 E mptiness! Desolation! Utter waste! Hearts faint and knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of all grow pale!

Way madhan tahay, oo waa baabba', oo waa cidla, oo qalbigu waa dhalaalayaa, lowyuhuna way isgaraacayaan, oo qof kasta dhexdiisa xanuun baa ku jira, oo kulligoodna wejigooda cabsi baa ka muuqanaysa.

11 W here is the den of the lions which was the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?

Bal meeday bohoshii libaaxyadu, oo meeday meeshii lagu quudin jiray libaaxyada qayrabka ah, taasoo ah meeshii ay ku socon jireen aarka iyo goosha iyo dhasha libaaxu, iyagoo aan ciduna cabsiin?

12 T he lion tore in pieces enough for his whelps and strangled for his lionesses; he filled his caves with prey and his dens with what he had seized and carried off.

Aarkii libaaxu wuxuu dhashiisii u dildillaaciyey wax ku filan, oo goolihiisiina wax buu u dilay, oo godadkiisii wuxuu ka buuxsaday ugaadh, oo boholihiisiina wuxuu ka buuxsaday raq.

13 B ehold, I am against you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. And I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no more be heard.

Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, anigu col baan idinla ahay, oo gaadhifardoodyadana qiiq baan ku gubi doonaa, oo libaaxyada qayrabyada ahna seef baa baabbi'in doonta, oo waxa aad ugaadhsataanna dhulkaan ka dhammayn doonaa, oo codkii wargeysyadiinnana mar dambe lama maqli doono.
