2. 2MKWSamu ti, Yave ke vutula buzitu ya bana Yakobi, mutindu mosi mpe ya bantu ya Isayeli, samu na bilanga ya bawu ya vinu, yina bambeni mwangisaka mpe bebisaka.BSBBSB: For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob like the splendor of Israel, though destroyers have laid them waste and ruined the branches of their vine.
3. 3MKWBinwani ya bambeni kele na binwanunu ya kisengo ya mbwaki mpe me lwata binkuti ya mbwaki. Ntangu bawu ke kubamaka na kunwana, bisengo ya bapusu-pusu ya bawu ya mvita ke lemaka mutindu tiya mpe bawu ke ningisaka madyonga ya bawu.BSBBSB: The shields of his mighty men are red; the valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of cypress have been brandished.

5. 5MKWNtinu ya Ninive ke bokilaka binwani yina ke na kibakala, kasi bawu ke kwendaka kubwa na nzila. Na nswalu nyonso, bawu ke belamaka pene-pene ya bibaka ya lukengolo samu na kubumbama.BSBBSB: He summons his nobles; they stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
6. 6MKWMyelo yina ke talaka na banzadi fungukaka na ngolo nyonso, yinzo ya kintinu kubwaka.BSBBSB: The river gates are thrown open and the palace collapses.
7. 7MKWBa bakaka kiteki yina vwandaka mutindu nzambi ya bawu ya kento, mpe ba nataka yawu. Bisadi ya bakento yina vwandaka bongisa kiteki yango, vwandaka dila mutindu mabembe, maboko na zulu ya yintu.BSBBSB: It is decreed that the city be exiled and carried away; her maidservants moan like doves, and beat upon their breasts.
8. 8MKWKatuka ntama, mbanza Ninive vwandaka mutindu kizinga ya maza, kasi ntangu yayi, maza ya yawu ke na kubasika. «Beno telama, beno telama», kasi ata muntu vwandaka tala na manima.BSBBSB: Nineveh has been like a pool of water throughout her days, but now it is draining away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one turns back.
9. 9MKWBa botola palata na wolo, samu ti mbanza yayi ke na bimvwama mpe bima ya ntalu ya mutindu na mutindu yina ke manisaka ve.BSBBSB: “Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold!” There is no end to the treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
10. 10MKWBa me botola, ba me bebisa, mpe me mwangisa bima nyonso. Bantu nyonso ke dyaka ve na kibakala, makulu ya bawu me lemba. Bawu nyonso ke na kutekita, bizizi ya bawu me kuma ya kyadi.BSBBSB: She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and laid waste! Hearts melt, knees knock, bodies tremble, and every face grows pale!
11. 11MKWWapi mutindu me kuma kisika yina vwandaka ya bankosi? Ni kisika yina bana ya bankosi vwandaka kudya. Ntangu nkosi vwandaka kwenda na mbingu, ata kima vwandaka talisa bana ya bankosi boma.BSBBSB: Where is the lions’ lair or the feeding ground of the young lions, where the lion and lioness prowled with their cubs, with nothing to frighten them away?
12. 12MKWNkosi ya mbakala vwandaka kufwa mpe kupasula bibulu, samu na bankosi ya nkento mpe bana ya yandi. Misuni ya bibulu yina yandi vwandaka kufwa, yandi vwandaka fulusa yawu, na kati ya mabulu yina bawu ke bumbamaka.BSBBSB: The lion mauled enough for its cubs and strangled prey for the lioness. It filled its dens with the kill, and its lairs with mauled prey.
13. 13MKWYave, Nzambi ya lulendo ke na kutuba: «Nge Ninive mu ke pesa nge kitumbu, bapusu-pusu ya nge ya mvita ke nyenga, bana ya nge ya bankosi ke kufwa na mvita, mu ke baka bima nyonso yina beno botolaka, mpe ba ke kuwa dyaka ve bandinga ya bantumwa ya nge.»BSBBSB: “Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of Hosts. “I will reduce your chariots to cinders, and the sword will devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voices of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
