Nahum 2
1 A scatterer has come up to your face, Keep the bulwark, watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily.
尼尼微啊，那打碎邦国的上来攻击你。 你要看守保障，谨防道路， 使腰强壮，大大勉力。 （
2 For YHWH has turned back to the excellence of Jacob, As [to] the excellence of Israel, For emptiers have emptied them out, And they have marred their branches.
耶和华复兴雅各的荣华， 好像以色列的荣华一样； 因为使地空虚的， 已经使雅各和以色列空虚， 将他们的葡萄枝毁坏了。）
3 The shield of his mighty ones has become red, Men of might [are in] scarlet, With fiery torches [is] the chariot in a day of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble.
他勇士的盾牌是红的， 精兵都穿朱红衣服。 在他预备争战的日子， 战车上的钢铁闪烁如火， 柏木把的枪也抡起来了。
4 In out-places the chariots shine, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As lightnings they run.
车辆在街上急行， 在宽阔处奔来奔去， 形状如火把， 飞跑如闪电。
5 He remembers his majestic ones, They stumble in their goings, They hurry [to] its wall, And the covering is prepared.
尼尼微王招聚他的贵胄； 他们步行绊跌， 速上城墙，预备挡牌。
6 Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is dissolved.
河闸开放，宫殿冲没。
7 And it is established—she has removed, She has been brought up, And her handmaids are leading as the voice of doves, Tabering on their hearts.
王后蒙羞，被人掳去； 宫女捶胸，哀鸣如鸽。 此乃命定之事。
8 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is]—and they are fleeing! “Stand, stand”; and none is turning!
尼尼微自古以来充满人民， 如同聚水的池子； 现在居民却都逃跑。 虽有人呼喊说：站住！站住！ 却无人回顾。
9 Seize silver, seize gold, And there is no end to the prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels.
你们抢掠金银吧！ 因为所积蓄的无穷， 华美的宝器无数。
10 She is empty, indeed, emptiness and waste, And the heart has melted, And the knees have struck together, And great pain [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.
尼尼微现在空虚荒凉， 人心消化，双膝相碰， 腰都疼痛，脸都变色。
11 Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions Where a lion has walked, an old lion, A lion’s whelp, and there is none troubling.
狮子的洞和少壮狮子喂养之处在哪里呢？ 公狮母狮小狮游行、无人惊吓之地在哪里呢？
12 The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, And is strangling for his lionesses, And he fills his holes [with] prey, And his habitations [with] torn flesh.
公狮为小狮撕碎许多食物， 为母狮掐死活物， 把撕碎的、掐死的充满它的洞穴。
13 “Behold, I [am] against you,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And I have burned its chariot in smoke, And a sword consumes your young lions, And I have cut off your prey from the land, And the voice of your messengers is not heard anymore!”
万军之耶和华说：“我与你为敌，必将你的车辆焚烧成烟，刀剑也必吞灭你的少壮狮子。我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的，你使者的声音必不再听见。”
