Nahum 2
1 He ascends, who would scatter before your eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly.
Postītājs ceļas pret tevi, - sargi pili, lūko uz ceļu, stiprini gurnus un centies spēcīgi!
2 For the Lord has repaid the arrogance of Jacob, just like the arrogance of Israel. For the despoilers have scattered them, and they have corrupted their procreation.
Jo Tas Kungs atkal uzceļ Jēkaba godību, tā kā Israēla godību, jo laupītāji tos aplaupījuši un maitājuši viņu vīna stīgas.
3 The shield of his strong ones is fire, the men of war are in scarlet. The reins of the chariot are fiery in the day of his preparation, and the drivers have been drugged.
Viņa varoņu priekšturamās bruņas ir sarkanas, viņa kara ļaudis purpurā ģērbušies, rati spīd kā uguns liesmas tai dienā, kad viņš apbruņojās, un šķēpi top cilāti.
4 They have become confused on their journey. The four-horse chariots have collided in the streets. Their appearance is like torches, like lightning dashing around.
Rati rīb uz ielām, tie skraida gatvēs, viņu izskats ir kā uguns lāpas, tie laistās kā zibeņi.
5 He will call to mind his strong ones; they will destroy along their journey. They will quickly ascend its walls, and a shelter will be prepared.
Viņš piemin savus varenos, tie klūp savā ceļā, tie steidzās uz mūriem un sataisa patvērumu.
6 The gates of the rivers have been opened, and the temple has been pulled down to the ground.
Upju vārti ir atdarīti, un pils iet bojā.
7 And the foot soldier has been led away captive, and her handmaids were driven away, mourning like doves, murmuring in their hearts.
Un ķēniņiene krīt kaunā un top aizvesta, un viņas kalpotājas vaid kā baloži un sit pie savām krūtīm.
8 And Nineveh, her waters are like a fish pond. Yet truly, they have fled away: “Stand, stand!” But there is no one who will turn back.
Jo Ninive bija kā ūdeņu ezers no tā laika, kad tā cēlusies. Bet tie bēg. Stāvat, stāvat! Bet neviens neskatās atpakaļ.
9 Despoil the silver, despoil the gold. And there is no end to all the riches of desirable equipment.
Laupāt sudrabu, laupāt zeltu, jo tur mantas bez gala un visādu dārgumu papilnam.
10 She has been scattered, and cut, and torn apart. And the heart melts, and the knees buckle, and weakness is in every temperament. And the faces of them all are like a black kettle.
Posts un postaža un tuksnesis, sirds izkūst, ceļi dreb, un visi gurni gurst, un visi viņu vaigi nobāl.
11 Where is the dwelling place of the lions, and the feeding ground of the young lions, to which the lion went, so as to open a way for the young lion, and so that there would be none to make them afraid?
Kur nu ir tas lauvu dzīvoklis un tā jauno lauvu ganība, kur tas lauva, tā lauvu māte ar tiem lauvu bērniem staigāja, un nebija, kas tos iztraucēja?
12 The lion seized enough for his young, and killed enough for his lionesses, and he filled his caves with prey, and his den with spoils.
Bet tas lauva laupīja gan priekš saviem bērniem un žņaudza priekš tām lauvu mātēm, savas alas viņš pildīja ar laupījumu un savus dzīvokļus ar to, ko saplosīja.
13 Behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots even to smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions. And I will exterminate your prey from the land, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
Redzi, Es celšos pret tevi, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot; un sadedzināšu dūmos viņas ratus un zobens aprīs tavus lauvu bērnus, un Es izdeldēšu tavu laupījumu no zemes, un tavu vēstnešu balsi vairs nedzirdēs.
