Nahum 2
1 A scatterer has come up to your face, Keep the bulwark, watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily.
Postītājs ceļas pret tevi, - sargi pili, lūko uz ceļu, stiprini gurnus un centies spēcīgi!
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.
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 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.
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 In out-places the chariots shine, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As lightnings they run.
Rati rīb uz ielām, tie skraida gatvēs, viņu izskats ir kā uguns lāpas, tie laistās kā zibeņi.
5 He remembers his majestic ones, They stumble in their goings, They hurry [to] its wall, And the covering is prepared.
Viņš piemin savus varenos, tie klūp savā ceļā, tie steidzās uz mūriem un sataisa patvērumu.
6 Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is dissolved.
Upju vārti ir atdarīti, un pils iet bojā.
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.
Un ķēniņiene krīt kaunā un top aizvesta, un viņas kalpotājas vaid kā baloži un sit pie savām krūtīm.
8 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is]—and they are fleeing! “Stand, stand”; and none is turning!
Jo Ninive bija kā ūdeņu ezers no tā laika, kad tā cēlusies. Bet tie bēg. Stāvat, stāvat! Bet neviens neskatās atpakaļ.
9 Seize silver, seize gold, And there is no end to the prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels.
Laupāt sudrabu, laupāt zeltu, jo tur mantas bez gala un visādu dārgumu papilnam.
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.
Posts un postaža un tuksnesis, sirds izkūst, ceļi dreb, un visi gurni gurst, un visi viņu vaigi nobāl.
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.
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 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.
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 [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!”
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.
