# Disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it is coming.

# Behold

The word "behold" here adds emphasis to what follows. AT: "Look" or "Listen" or "Pay attention to what I am about to tell you"

# The end has woken up against you

The judgment that is coming is treated as if it were an enemy waking up from sleep. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

# the mountains will no longer be joyful

The word "mountains" is a metonym for the people who live on the mountains. AT: "the people on the mountains will not have any more joy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
