Nahuma 2
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1U A pii mai ka mea luku imua o kou alo; E malama i kahi paa, e kiai i ke ala, E kaei i na puhaka, E hookupaa loa i ka ikaika.
1(2-2) A maul is come up before thy face; guard the defences, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily! —
2No ka mea, ua hoihoi mai o Iehova i ka nani o Iakoba, e like me ka nani o Iseraela, No ka mea, ua luku aku ka poe luku ia lakou, A ua hookai lakou i ka lakou mau lala waina.
2(2-3) For the LORD restoreth the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine-branches. —
3O ka palekaua o ka poe ikaika, ua ulaula. A o na kanaka koa, ua kahikoia lakou i ke kapa ulaula: Me ka wakawaka o na kila o na halekaa i ka la o kona hoomakaukau aua, A e haalulu na ihe paina.
3(2-4) The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet; the chariots are fire of steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress spears are made to quiver.
4A e holo kiki na halekaa ma na alanui; Holo lakou ma o ma o, ma na ala palahalaha, Like ko lakou ikeia'na me na lamaku, A holo lakou me he uwila la.
4(2-5) The chariots rush madly in the streets, they jostle one against another in the broad places; the appearance of them is like torches, they run to and fro like the lightnings.
5Hoomanao no oia i kona poe ikaika; E hina lakou i ko lakou hele ana, A holo lakou i kona papohaku, A e hoomakaukauia kahi e uhi ai.
5(2-6) He bethinketh himself of his worthies; they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
6A e weheia na pukapa o na muliwai, A e hehee iho ko ka halealii, a ua hookupaaia;
6(2-7) The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7A ua weheia kona kapa, a alakaiia'ku ia, A o kana poe kauwawahine e u ana, e like me ka leo o na manu nunu, e hahau ana i ko lakou umauma.
7(2-8) And the queen is uncovered, she is carried away, and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8A ua like o Nineva me he kiowai la, mai ka manawa mamua mai; Aka, e holo aku no lakou. E ku oukou, e ku! aohe mea e nana ihope,
8(2-9) But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water; yet they flee away; 'Stand, stand'; but none looketh back.
9E lawe aku oukou i ke kala, e lawe aku i ke gula: Aole he hope no ka waiwai, no ka nani, a me kona mau mea maikai a pau.
9(2-10) Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, rich with all precious vessels.
10Ua nele, ua neoneo, a ua lukuia oia: Ua hehee ka naau, ua palupalu na kuli, A he haalulu ma na puhaka a pau, A ke nananakea na maka a pau.
10(2-11) She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and convulsion is in all loins, and the faces of them all have gathered blackness.
11Auhea ka noho ana o na liona; A mahea la kahi e ai ai na liona opio; Kahi i hele ai ka liona, ka liona wahine, A me ke keiki liona, aohe mea nana lakou e hoomakau;
11(2-12) Where 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?
12Ua haehae ka liona a nui no kana poe keiki, A uumi no ia no kana liona wahine, A hoopiha no ia i kona mau lua i ka mea pio, a i kona mau ana i ka mea i laweia.
12(2-13) 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.
13Aia hoi, ua maka e aku au ia oe, wahi a Iehova o na kaua, A e puhi aku au i kona mau halekaa iloko o ka uahi, A e luku aku ka pahikaua i kau mau liona opiopio; A e oki aku au i kou mea pio mai ka honua aku, Aole loa e lohe hou ia ka leo o kau mau elele.
13(2-14) 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.
