Nahum 3 - Listen Online

¹ EGBE ni fun ilu ẹjẹ̀ nì! gbogbo rẹ̀ kun fun eké, ati olè, ijẹ kò kuro;

¹ Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

² Ariwo pàṣan, ati ariwo kikùn kẹkẹ́, ati ti ijọ awọn ẹṣin, ati ti fifò kẹkẹ́.

² The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

³ Ẹlẹṣin ti gbe idà rẹ̀ ti nkọ màna, ati ọkọ̀ rẹ̀ ti ndán yànran si oke: ọ̀pọlọpọ si li awọn ẹniti a pa, ati ọ̀pọlọpọ okú; okú kò si ni opin; nwọn nkọsẹ̀ li ara okú wọn wọnni:

³ The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

⁴ Nitori ọ̀pọlọpọ awọn panṣagà àgbere ti o roju rere gbà, iya ajẹ ti o ntà awọn orilẹ-ède nipasẹ̀ panṣaga rẹ̀, ati idile nipasẹ̀ ajẹ rẹ̀.

⁴ Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

⁵ Kiyesi i, emi dojukọ́ ọ, ni Oluwa awọn ọmọ-ogun wi; emi o si ká aṣọ itẹlẹ̀di rẹ li oju rẹ, emi o si fi ihòho rẹ hàn awọn orilẹ-ède, ati itiju rẹ hàn awọn ilẹ̀ ọba.

⁵ Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

⁶ Emi o da ẹgbin ti o ni irira si ọ lara, emi o si sọ ọ di alaimọ́, emi o si gbe ọ kalẹ bi ẹni ifiṣẹlẹyà.

⁶ And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.

⁷ Yio si ṣe pe, gbogbo awọn ti o wò ọ yio sa fun ọ, nwọn o si wipe, A ti fi Ninefe ṣòfo: tani yio kẹdùn rẹ̀? nibo ni emi o ti wá olutùnu fun ọ?

⁷ And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

⁸ Iwọ ha sàn jù No-ammoni, eyiti o wà lãrin odò ti omi yika kiri, ti agbara rẹ̀ jẹ okun, ti odi rẹ̀ si ti inu okun jade wá?

⁸ Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?

⁹ Etiopia ati Egipti li agbara rẹ̀, kò si li opin; Puti ati Lubimu li awọn olùranlọwọ rẹ.

⁹ Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

¹⁰ Sibẹ̀sibẹ̀ a kó o lọ, o lọ si oko-ẹrú: awọn ọmọ wẹ́wẹ rẹ̀ li a fi ṣánlẹ̀ pẹlu li ori ita gbogbo; nwọn si di ibò nitori awọn ọlọla rẹ̀ ọkunrin, gbogbo awọn ọlọla rẹ̀ li a si fi ẹwọ̀n dì.

¹⁰ Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

¹¹ Iwọ pẹlu o si yó ọti; a o si fi ọ pamọ, iwọ pẹlu o si ma ṣe afẹri ãbò nitori ti ọta na.

¹¹ Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.

¹² Gbogbo ile-iṣọ agbara rẹ yio dabi igi ọpọ̀tọ pẹlu akọpọn ọpọ̀tọ: bi a ba gbọ̀n wọn, nwọn o si bọ si ẹnu ọjẹun.

¹² All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

¹³ Kiye si i, obinrin li awọn enia rẹ lãrin rẹ: oju ibodè ilẹ rẹ li a o ṣi silẹ gbaguda fun awọn ọta rẹ: iná yio jo ikere rẹ.

¹³ Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.

¹⁴ Iwọ pọn omi de ihamọ, mu ile iṣọ rẹ le: wọ̀ inu amọ̀, ki o si tẹ̀ erupẹ̀, ki o si ṣe ibiti a nsun okuta-amọ̀ ki o le.

¹⁴ Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.

¹⁵ Nibẹ̀ ni iná yio jo ọ run; idà yio ké ọ kuro, yio si jẹ ọ bi kòkoro: sọ ara rẹ di pupọ̀ bi kòkoro, si sọ ara rẹ di pupọ̀ bi ẽṣu.

¹⁵ There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.

¹⁶ Iwọ ti sọ awọn oniṣòwo rẹ di pupọ̀ jù iràwọ oju ọrun lọ: kokòro nà ara rẹ̀, o si fò lọ.

¹⁶ Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.

¹⁷ Awọn alade rẹ dabi eṣú, awọn ọgagun rẹ si dabi ẹlẹngà nla, eyiti ndó sinu ọgbà la ọjọ otutù, ṣugbọn nigbati õrùn là, nwọn sa lọ, a kò si mọ̀ ibiti wọn gbe wà.

¹⁷ Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

¹⁸ Awọn olùṣọ agùtan rẹ ntõgbe, Iwọ ọba Assiria: awọn ọlọla rẹ yio ma gbe inu ekuru: awọn enia rẹ si tuka lori oke-nla, ẹnikan kò si kó wọn jọ.

¹⁸ Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.

¹⁹ Kò si ipajumọ fun ifarapa rẹ; ọgbẹ rẹ kún fun irora, gbogbo ẹniti o gbọ́ ihin rẹ yio pàtẹwọ le ọ lori, nitori li ori tani ìwa-buburu rẹ kò ti kọja nigbagbogbo?

¹⁹ There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
