Naum 2
1 It is all over with him, he has been removed, [one] who has been delivered from affliction has come up panting into your presence, watch the way, strengthen [your] loins, be very valiant in [your] strength.
Взыде вдыхаяй в лице твое, отемляй от оскорбления: усмотри путь, укрепи чресла, возмужай крепостию зело:
2 For the Lord has turned aside the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: for they have utterly rejected them, and have destroyed their branches.
понеже отврати Господь укоризну Иаковлю, якоже укоризну Израилеву: зане отрясающии отрясоша я и лозы их растлиша.
3 [They have destroyed] the arms of their power from amongst men, their mighty men sporting with fire: the reins of their chariots [shall be destroyed] in the day of his preparation, and the horsemen shall be thrown into confusion
Оружия силы их от человек, мужы сильныя играющыя во огни: брозды колесниц их в день уготования его, и конницы возмятутся на путех,
4 in the ways, and the chariots shall clash together, and shall be entangled in each other in the broad ways: their appearance is as lamps of fire, and as gleaming lightnings.
и смятутся колесницы и сплетутся на стогнах: вид их яко свещы огненны, и яко молния протекающая.
5 And their mighty men shall bethink themselves and flee by day; and they shall be weak as they go; and they shall hasten to her walls, and shall prepare their defences.
И помянутся старейшины их, и побегнут в день, и изнемогут в пути своем, и потщатся на забрала его, и уготовят предния стражбы своя.
6 The gates of the cities have been opened, and the palaces have fallen into ruin,
Врата градная отверзошася, и царства падоша, и имение открыся.
7 and the foundation has been exposed; and she has gone up, and her maidservants were led [away] as doves moaning in their hearts.
Сия же восхождаше, и рабыни ея ведяхуся, яко голубицы воркующя в сердцах своих:
8 And [as for] Nineve, her waters [shall be] as a pool of water: and they fled, and staid not, and there was none to look back.
и Ниневиа, аки купель водная воды ея, и тии бежаще не сташа, и не бе взирающаго.
9 They plundered the silver, they plundered the gold, and there was no end of their adorning; they were loaded [with it] upon all their pleasant vessels.
Расхищаху сребро, расхищаху злато, и не бяше конца имения ея: отяготишася паче всех сосудов вожделенная ея.
10 [There is] thrusting forth, and shaking, and tumult, and heart-breaking, and loosing of knees, and pangs on all loins; and the faces of all [are] as the blackening of a pot.
Истрясение и вострясение, и воскипение и сердца сокрушение, и разслабление колен и болезни по всем чреслом, и лице всех, аки опаление котла.
11 Where is the dwelling-place of the lions, and the pasture that belonged to the whelps? where did the lion go, that the lion's whelp should enter in there, and there was none to scare [him] away?
Где есть виталище львов и пажить сущая львичищем? Камо иде лев, еже влезти тамо львичищу, и не бяше устрашающаго.
12 The lion seized enough prey for his whelps, and strangled for his [young] lions, and filled his lair with prey, and his dwelling-place with spoil.
Лев восхити доволная львичищем своим и удави львицам своим, и наполни ловитвы гнездо свое и виталище свое похищения.
13 Behold, I am against you, says the Lord Almighty, and I will burn up your multitude in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your lions; and I will utterly destroy your prey from off the land, and your deeds shall no more at all be heard of.
Се, Аз на тя, глаголет Господь Вседержитель, и пожгу дымом множество твое, и львы твоя пояст оружие: и потреблю от земли ловитву твою, и не услышатся ктому дела твоя.
