1 Yayee oshilando oshidhipagi noshiifundja!
Oshu udha uuyamba,
opo shi yugwe nokuhakanwa po!
2 Pulakeneni! Etopo lyongola,
ekolokoto lyomatemba,
elapato lyuukambe,
engwandjauko lyomatembakwiita!
3 Aakayili otaa tsitsimike,
omagongamwele otaga tayima,
omagonga otaga wema!
Omidhimba odha ndumbala,
omituntu dhaa shi kuyalulwa —
aantu otaa pundukithwa kudho!
4 Ninive oshihondeli otashi geelwa.
Oshu udha omahongololo
nuumpulile tau fala meso.
Osha hekaheka iigwana noku yi pika.
5 Omuwa Omunankondoawike ota ti:
“Ninive, otandi ke ku geela!
Otandi ke ku hula, u kale omudhu,
e tandi ke ku ulika kiigwana;
otayi ka tala ohoni yoye ayihe.
6 Otandi ke ku tala nondhino
e tandi ke ku siikila nondumba yiiyagaya.
Aantu otaye ke ku kenyanana.
7 Ayehe mboka taye ku mono,
otaa kunkwa.
Otaa ka tya: ‘Ninive osha ningi omakulukuma!
Olye e shi uvitile ohenda?
Olye a hala e shi hekeleke?’ ”
8 Ninive, u shi ngoye omwaanawa u vule Thebes, oshilandopangelo shomuEgipiti? Osha li shi na omulonga gwoku shi gamena ngaashi ekuma Niili ogwa li epopilo lyasho. 9 Osha li tashi lele Sudan naEgipiti. Libia osha li mehangano nasho. 10 Onkene tuu aantu yomuThebes oya li ya falwa muupika. Momapandaanda gasho aanona yawo omo ya dhengelwa, ya se. Aawiliki yawo oya tulwa momalyenge noya topolelwa aakwatipo yawo.
11 Ninive, ngoye wo oto ka kumukila moomposi dhuunkolwi! Nangoye wo oto ka kambadhala okufadhuka po aatondi yoye. 12 Oohote dhoye adhihe otadhi ka kala dha fa omikwiyu dha tiligana oondhiye: Shikashika omiti, niiyimati otayi gwile naanaa momakana geni! 13 Aakwiita yoye oya fa aakulukadhi, noshilongo shoye kashi na epopilo lyasha kaatondi yoye. Omulilo otagu ka yonagula po iipatitho yiiyelo yoye. 14 Popolela mo omeya gokunwa ngoye u koleke oohote dhoye. Lyata omunoko, u tholome oondhopi. Iitholomo nayi kale ya longekidhwa! 15 Ihe nando ongawo, oto ka pya po nenge oto ka dhipagelwa molugodhi. Oto ka kombwa po, ngaashi iimeno tayi thekekwa po koombahu.
Aantu yoye oyi indjipala ya fa oombahu! 16 Aapindiki yoye oya ningi oyendjiyendji ye vule oonyothi mewangandjo! Ihe oyo ya yi ya fa oombahu tadhi papama e tadhi tuka tadhi yi. 17 Aambala yoye oya fa oshipupu shoombahu dha lambela komakuma mesiku lyuutalala. Ihe etango nge lya holoka, otadhi tuka po, nokape na ngoka a tseya mpoka dha yi!
18 Omukwaniilwa gwaAssur, aaleli yoye oya dhipagwa, naanenentu yoye oya kotha sigo aluhe! Aantu yoye oya halakanithilwa koondundu, nokape na ngoka te ya eta ishewe kegumbo. 19 Kape na nando omuti gwokugwayekwa piilalo yoye, niilalo yoye itayi vulu okwaaludhwa. Ayehe mboka taa kundana eyonuko lyoye, otaa hakele kenyanyu. Ope na tuu ngoka inoo mu monitha iihuna?
