Nahum 2
Maori Bible
2 Kua tae ake te kaiwawahi ki tou aroaro: tiakina te pa, tuteia te ara, kia kaha tou hope, kia u rawa tou kaha.
2 No te mea ka whakahokia mai e Ihowa te kororia o Hakopa, me te kororia o Iharaira: kua takoto kau hoki ratou i nga kaiwhakatakoto kau, kua he ano a ratou manga waina i a ratou.
3 Kua oti te whakangungu rakau a ana marohirohi te whakawhero, he ngangana te kakahu o nga maia: kei te rino e kanapa ana te rite o nga hariata i te ra e takatu ai ia, a ko nga tao wiri rawa.
4 Ngana tonu nga hariata i nga ara, taututetute ana ki a ratou ano i nga waharoa: ko to ratou ahua ano he roherohe, e rere ana me he uira.
5 Ka mahara ia ki ana metararahi: ka tapatu ratou i a ratou e haere ana; ka hohoro ratou ki to reira taiepa, a ka rite te arai.
6 Ka whakatuwheratia nga kuwaha o nga awa, ka papahoro te whare kingi.
7 Na kua tu tahanga a Huhapa, kua maua atu ia, a ka tangi ana pononga wahine, ko te reo koia ano kei to te kukupa, ko o ratou uma hei timipera ma ratou.
8 Ko Ninewe ia, ko tona rite mai onamata, kei te puna wai: heoi ka tahuti ratou; ka karanga, E tu, e tu; heoi e kore tetahi e titiro whakamuri.
9 Pahuatia te hiriwa, pahuatia te koura: kahore hoki he mutunga o nga rawa, o te kororia i roto i nga taonga ahuareka katoa.
10 Kua takoto kau ia, kahore ana mea, moti rawa; harotu kau te ngakau, kei te aki ano nga turi ki a raua, he nui te mamae kei nga hope katoa, kua koma nga mata o ratou katoa.
11 Kei hea te nohoanga o nga raiona? te wahi kai a nga kuao raiona? te wahi i haereere ai te raiona, me te raiona katua, me te kuao raiona, te ai he kaiwhakawehi?
12 I haehaea mai e te raiona he mea e makona ai ana kuao, notia ana e ia te kaki hei mea ma ana raiona uha, whakakiia ana e ia ona rua ki te kai, ona nohoanga hoki ki te mea i haehaea.
13 Nana, hei hoariri tenei ahau mou, e ai ta Ihowa o nga Mano, ka tahuna ano e ahau ana hariata i roto i te paowa, ka pau au kuao raiona i te hoari: ka kore i ahau he haehaenga mau i runga i te whenua, e kore ano te reo o au karere e rangona a muri ake nei.

Nahum 2
New International Version
Nineveh to Fall
2 [a]An attacker(A) advances against you, Nineveh.
Guard the fortress,
watch the road,
brace yourselves,
marshal all your strength!
2 The Lord will restore(B) the splendor(C) of Jacob
like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
and have ruined their vines.
3 The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.(D)
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.[b]
4 The chariots(E) storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.
5 Nineveh summons her picked troops,
yet they stumble(F) on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
the protective shield is put in place.
6 The river gates(G) are thrown open
and the palace collapses.
7 It is decreed[c] that Nineveh
be exiled and carried away.
Her female slaves moan(H) like doves
and beat on their breasts.(I)
8 Nineveh is like a pool
whose water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(J) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(K)
