Nahum 2
1 The destroyer is come before thy face: keepe the munition: looke to the way: make thy loynes strong: increase thy strength mightily.
| قَدْ زَحَفَ عَلَيْكِ الْمُهَاجِمُ يَا نِينَوَى، فَاحْرُسِي الْحِصْنَ وَرَاقِبِي الطَّرِيقَ، مَنِّعِي أَسْوَارَكِ، وَجَنِّدِي كُلَّ قُوَّتِكِ. | ١ |
2 For the Lord hath turned away the glorie of Iaakob, as the glorie of Israel: for the emptiers haue emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
| لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُعِيدُ بَهَاءَ يَعْقُوبَ وَمَجْدَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّ النَّاهِبِينَ سَلَبُوهُمْ وَأَتْلَفُوا كُرُومَهُمْ. | ٢ |
3 The shield of his mightie men is made red: the valiant men are in skarlet: the charets shalbe as in the fire and flames in the day of his preparation, and the firre trees shall tremble.
| تُرُوسُ أَبْطَالِهِ مُخَضَّبَةٌ بِالاحْمِرَارِ، وَجُنُودُهُ الْمُحَارِبُونَ مُسَرْبَلُونَ بِالْقِرْمِزِ. يَبْرُقُ فُولاذُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ فِي يَوْمِ تَأَهُّبِهَا، وَتَتَبَخْتَرُ جِيَادُهَا. | ٣ |
4 The charets shall rage in the streetes: they shall runne to and from in the hie wayes: they shall seeme like lampes: they shall shoote like the lightning.
| تَتَرَاكَضُ الْمَرْكَبَاتُ بِعُنْفٍ فِي الشَّوَارِعِ، وَعَبْرَ السَّاحَاتِ تَمْرُقُ كَالْبَرْقِ وَمَنْظَرُهَا كَالْمَشَاعِلِ الْمُتَوَهِّجَةِ. | ٤ |
5 He shall remember his strong men: they shall stumble as they goe: they shall make haste to the walles thereof, and the defence shall bee prepared.
| يَسْتَدْعِي الْمَلِكُ ضُبَّاطَهُ، فَيُسْرِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ مُتَعَثِّرِينَ فِي خُطَاهُمْ، يُهَرْوِلُونَ إِلَى سُورِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَدْ أُقِيمَتِ الْمَتَارِيسُ. | ٥ |
6 The gates of the riuers shalbe opened, and the palace shall melt.
| قَدِ انْفَتَحَتْ بَوَّابَاتُ الأَنْهَارِ، وَانْهَارَ الْقَصْرُ أَمَامَ جَحَافِلِ الأَعْدَاءِ. | ٦ |
7 And Huzzab the Queene shalbe led away captiue, and her maides shall leade her as with the voyce of doues, smiting vpon their breastes.
| أَصْبَحَتْ سَيِّدَةُ الْقَصْرِ عَارِيَةً مَسُوقَةً إِلَى الأَسْرِ، وَشَرَعَتْ جَوَارِيهَا يَنُحْنَ كَنَوْحِ الْحَمَامِ وَيَضْرِبْنَ صُدُورَهُنَّ. | ٧ |
8 But Nineueh is of olde like a poole of water: yet they shall flee away. Stande, stande, shall they crie: but none shall looke backe.
| نِينَوَى كَبِرْكَةٍ نَضَبَتْ مِيَاهُهَا، إِذْ فَرَّ أَهْلُهَا. وَتَعْلُو الصَّرْخَةُ: «قِفُوا، قِفُوا». وَلا مِنْ مُجِيبٍ يَلْتَفِتُ. | ٨ |
9 Spoyle ye the siluer, spoyle the golde: for there is none ende of the store, and glorie of all the pleasant vessels.
| انْهَبُوا الْفِضَّةَ، انْهَبُوا الذَّهَبَ. لَا نِهَايَةَ لِكُنُوزِهَا أَوْ لِنَفَائِسِ ثَرْوَتِهَا. | ٩ |
10 She is emptie and voyde and waste, and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and sorowe is in all loynes, and the faces of the all gather blackenesse.
| أَضْحَتْ مُوحِشَةً خَاوِيَةً جَرْدَاءَ، ذَابَتْ مِنْهَا الْقُلُوبُ رُعْباً وَانْحَلَّتْ مِنْهَا الرُّكَبُ، طَغَى عَلَيْهَا الأَلَمُ وَعَلا وُجُوهَ أَهْلِهَا الشُّحُوبُ. | ١٠ |
11 Where is the dwelling of the lyons, and the pasture of the lyons whelpes? where the lyon, and the lionesse walked, and the lyons whelpe, and none made them afrayde.
| أَيْنَ نِينَوى عَرِينُ الأُسُودِ وَمْرْتَعُ الأَشْبَالِ حَيْثُ يَسْرَحُ الأَسَدُ وَاللَّبُوءَةُ وَالأَشْبَالُ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِزْعَاجٍ؟ | ١١ |
12 The lyon did teare in pieces ynough for his whelpes, and woryed for his lyonesse, and filled his holes with praye, and his dennes with, spoyle.
| قَدِ افْتَرَسَ الأَسَدُ مَا يَكْفِي لإِعَالَةِ أَشْبَالِهِ وَخَنَقَ فَرِيسَةً لِلَبُوءَاتِهِ. قَدْ مَلأَ عَرِينَهُ بِقَنَائِصِهِ وَكَهْفَهُ بِأَشْلائِهِمْ. | ١٢ |
13 Beholde, I come vnto thee, sayeth the Lord of hostes, and I will burne her charets in the smoke, and the sworde shall deuoure thy yong lyons, and I will cut off thy spoyle from the earth, and the voyce of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
| هَا أَنَا أُقَاوِمُكِ. يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ. فَأُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِكِ فَتُصْبِحُ دُخَاناً، وَيَلْتَهِمُ السَّيْفُ لُحُومَ أَبْنَائِكِ، وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ غَنَائِمَكِ وَلَنْ يَتَرَدَّدَ فِي مَا بَعْدُ صَوْتُ مَنْدُوبِيكِ. | ١٣ |
