Nahum 2
1 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make [thy] loins strong, fortify [thy] power mightily.
撃破者攻のぼりて汝の前に至る 汝城を守り路を窺ひ腰を強くし汝の力を大に強くせよ
2 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
ヱホバはヤコブの榮を舊に復してイスラエルの榮のごとくしたまふ 其は掠奪者これを掠めその葡萄蔓を壞ひたればなり
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men [are] in scarlet: the chariots [shall be] with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
その勇士は楯を紅にしその軍兵は紅に身を甲ふ 其行伍を立つる時には戰車の鐵灼燦て火のごとし 鎗また閃めきふるふ
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
戰車街衢に狂ひ奔り大路に推あふ 其形状火炬のごとく其疾く馳すること電光の如し
5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
彼その將士を憶ひいだす 彼らはその途にて躓き仆れその石垣に奔ゆき大楯を備ふ
6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
河々の門啓け宮消うせん
7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
この事定まれり 彼は裸にせられて擄はれゆきその宮女胸を打て鴿のごとくに啼くべし
8 But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry; ] but none shall look back.
ニネベはその建し日より以來水の滿る池に似たりしがその民今は逃奔る 止れ止れと呼ども後を顧みる者なし
9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for [there is] none end of the store [and] glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
白銀を奪へよ 黄金を奪へよ その寳物限なく諸の貴とき噐用夥多し
10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
滅亡たり 空虚なれり 荒果たり 心は消え膝は慄ひ腰には凡て劇しき痛あり 面はみな色を失ふ
11 Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the lion’s whelp, and none made [them] afraid?
獅子の穴は何處ぞや 少き獅子の物を食ふ處は何處ぞや 雄獅子雌獅子その小獅子とともに彼處に歩むに之を懼れしむる者なし
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
雄獅子は小獅子のために物を噛ころし雌獅子の爲に物をくびり殺しその掠獲たる物をもて穴に充しその裂殺しし物をもて住所に滿す
13 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
萬軍のヱホバ言たまふ 視よ我なんぢに臨む 我なんぢの戰車を焚て煙となすべし 汝の少き獅子はみな劍の殺す所とならん 我また汝の獲物を地より絶べし 汝の使者の聲かさねて聞ゆること無らん
