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.
Kdor razbija na koščke je prišel gor, pred tvoj obraz. Varuj oporišče, pazi na pot, naredi svoja ledja močna, mogočno utrdi svojo moč.
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.
Kajti Gospod je odvrnil Jakobovo odličnost kakor odličnost Izraela, kajti izpraznjevalci so jih izpraznili in skazili njihove trtne mladike.
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.
Ščit njegovih mogočnih mož je pordečel, hrabri možje so v škrlatu. Bojni vozovi bodo s plamenečimi baklami na dan njegove priprave in ciprese bodo strašno stresene.
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.
Bojni vozovi bodo besneli po ulicah, zadevali se bodo drug ob drugega na širokih poteh, zdeli se bodo kakor bakle, tekli bodo kakor bliski.
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.
Spomnil se bo svojih vrlih. Spotaknili se bodo v svoji hoji, podvizali se bodo k njegovemu obzidju in obramba bo pripravljena.
6 The gates of the riuers shalbe opened, and the palace shall melt.
Velika vrata rek bodo odprta in palača se bo raztopila.
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.
Huzzab bo odvedena v ujetništvo, privedena bo gor in njene služabnice jo bodo vodile kakor z glasom golobic, ki se bijejo po svojih prsih.
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.
Toda Ninive so od davnine podobne vodnemu zbiralniku, vendar bodo pobegnile. »Stojte, stojte; « bodo kričali toda, nihče ne bo pogledal nazaj.
9 Spoyle ye the siluer, spoyle the golde: for there is none ende of the store, and glorie of all the pleasant vessels.
Vzemite plen srebra, vzemite plen zlata, kajti ni konca zaloge in slave vseh dragocenih stvari.
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.
Prazna je, izpraznjena in opustošena. Srce se topi in kolena udarjajo skupaj in precej bolečine je v vseh ledjih in vsi njihovi obrazi zbirajo črnino.
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.
Kje je prebivališče levov in kraj za hranjenje mladih levov, kjer je hodil lev, celó star lev in levji mladič in nihče ju ni prestrašil?
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.
Lev je raztrgal na koščke dovolj za svoje mladiče in zadavil za svoje levinje in svoje jame napolnil s plenom in svoje brloge z ropom.
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.
»Glej, jaz sem zoper tebe, « govori Gospod nad bojevniki, »in jaz bom sežgal njene bojne vozove v dimu in meč bo použil tvoje mlade leve in iztrebil bom tvoj plen z zemlje in glasu tvojih poslancev ne bo več slišati.«
