Nahum 2
1 A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.
尼尼微啊，那打碎邦国的上来攻击你。 你要看守保障，谨防道路， 使腰强壮，大大勉力。 （
2 For the Lord will make good the vine of Jacob, as well as the vine of Israel: for the wasters have made them waste and sent destruction on the branches of their vine.
耶和华复兴雅各的荣华， 好像以色列的荣华一样； 因为使地空虚的， 已经使雅各和以色列空虚， 将他们的葡萄枝毁坏了。）
3 The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking.
他勇士的盾牌是红的， 精兵都穿朱红衣服。 在他预备争战的日子， 战车上的钢铁闪烁如火， 柏木把的枪也抡起来了。
4 The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames.
车辆在街上急行， 在宽阔处奔来奔去， 形状如火把， 飞跑如闪电。
5 He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.
尼尼微王招聚他的贵胄； 他们步行绊跌， 速上城墙，预备挡牌。
6 The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away.
河闸开放，宫殿冲没。
7 And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts.
王后蒙羞，被人掳去； 宫女捶胸，哀鸣如鸽。 此乃命定之事。
8 But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.
尼尼微自古以来充满人民， 如同聚水的池子； 现在居民却都逃跑。 虽有人呼喊说：站住！站住！ 却无人回顾。
9 Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired.
你们抢掠金银吧！ 因为所积蓄的无穷， 华美的宝器无数。
10 Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
尼尼微现在空虚荒凉， 人心消化，双膝相碰， 腰都疼痛，脸都变色。
11 Where is the lions' hole, the place where the young lions got their food, where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young, without cause for fear?
狮子的洞和少壮狮子喂养之处在哪里呢？ 公狮母狮小狮游行、无人惊吓之地在哪里呢？
12 Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.
公狮为小狮撕碎许多食物， 为母狮掐死活物， 把撕碎的、掐死的充满它的洞穴。
13 See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever.
万军之耶和华说：“我与你为敌，必将你的车辆焚烧成烟，刀剑也必吞灭你的少壮狮子。我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的，你使者的声音必不再听见。”
