Nahum 3
1 Terrible things will happen to [Nineveh], that city [that is full of people who] murder [MTY] and lie. [The city is] full of things that were seized [from other countries by their soldiers]; [their armies] continually [LIT] have acted brutally towards people whom they conquered.
Běda městu vražednému, kteréž všecko lži a ukrutenství plné jest, neodchází z něho loupež.
2 But [now listen to the enemy soldiers coming to attack Nineveh]; [listen to them] cracking their whips, and [listen to the] rattle of [their chariot] wheels! [Listen to] their galloping horses and their chariots as they bounce along!
Praskání bičů a hřmot kol, a dusání koní, a vozů skákání bude.
3 [Look at their] flashing swords and glittering spears as the horsemen race forward! Many [people of Nineveh will be] killed; [there will be] piles of corpses, [with the result that] people will stumble over them.
Jezdec vyzdvihne třpytící se meč, a blýskající se kopí, i bude množství zbitých, a veliké hromady těl mrtvých, tak že nebude žádného počtu těl mrtvých, až i padati budou přes těla jejich,
4 All [that will happen] because [Nineveh is like] [MET] a beautiful prostitute [who lures men to where they will be ruined]; [Nineveh is a beautiful city] which has attracted/enticed [people of] other nations [to come there]. [The people of Nineveh] taught those people [of other nations rituals of] magic, and caused them to become their slaves.
Pro množství smilství smilnice, velmi milé, mistryně kouzlů, kteráž prodávala národy smilstvými svými, a lidi kouzly svými.
5 [So] the Commander of the armies of angels says to [the people of Nineveh]: “I am your enemy, and I will [cause the people in other] nations to see you [completely] humiliated like [MET] [women who have committed adultery are humiliated by] having their skirts lifted high, [with the result that] people can see their naked [bodies].
Aj, já proti tobě, dí Hospodin zástupů, a odkryji podolek tvůj nad hlavu tvou, a ukáži národům nahotu tvou, a královstvím hanbu tvou.
6 I will cause rubbish/garbage to be thrown at you; I will show [others] that I despise you very much, and I will cause you to be publicly ridiculed.
A ukydaje tě ohavnými věcmi, uvedu tě v lehkost, a vystavím tě za divadlo.
7 All those who see you will turn their backs to you and say, ‘Nineveh is ruined, but absolutely no one [RHQ] will mourn for it.’ No one will regret Nineveh being destroyed!”
I stane se, že kdožkoli uzří tě, vzdálí se od tebe, a dí: Vyplundrováno jest Ninive. Kdož by ho litovati měl? Kdež bych shledal ty, kteříž by tě těšiti měli?
8 Your city is certainly [RHQ] no safer than Thebes [city] was. [Thebes was an important city] beside the Nile [River]; the river was [like] [SIM] a wall that protected the city [DOU].
Což by se tobě lépe díti mělo, nežli No lidnému, kteréž sedělo mezi řekami, vodami byvši opuštěno, jehož val bylo moře, zed mělo od moře?
9 [The rulers of] Ethiopia and Egypt helped Thebes; there was no limit to their power. [The governments of the nearby countries of] Put and Libya were also allies of Thebes.
Mouřenínská země i Egypt silou jeho byla, a nesčíslní, Putští a Lubimští, byli jemu na pomoc.
10 But Thebes was captured, and [its people were] (exiled/forced to go to other countries). Their babies were dashed to pieces in the streets [of the city]. [Enemy soldiers] (cast lots/threw small marked stones) to decide who would get each official in Thebes [to become his slave]. All the leaders of Thebes were fastened/tied by chains.
A však i to v přestěhování přišlo a v zajetí, tak že i maličcí jeho rozrážíni byli na úhlech všech ulic, a o nejslavnější jeho metali los, a všickni znamenití jeho sevříni byli pouty.
11 You [people of Nineveh] will similarly become dazed and drunk, and you will search for places to hide [to escape] from your enemies.
Takž i ty opiješ se, a pokrývati se musíš, i ty hledati budeš pomoci proti nepříteli.
12 [Your enemies will cause] the walls around your city to fall down like [SIM] the first figs that fall from fig trees [each year]. [Your city will be captured easily, like] [MET] [figs that fall] into the mouths [HYP] of those who shake the fig trees.
Všecky tvé pevnosti jsou jako fíkové s ovocem ranním, jimž jakž se zatřese, prší do úst toho, kdož by jedl.
13 Look at your soldiers! They will be [as weak/helpless as] [MET] women! The gates of your city will be opened wide [to allow] your enemies [to enter them], [and then] the bars of those gates will be burned.
Aj, lid tvůj jsou ženy u prostřed tebe, nepřátelům tvým dokořen otevříny budou brány země tvé, a oheň sžíře závory tvé.
14 Store up water [now to use when] your enemies surround the city! Repair the forts! Dig up clay and trample it [to make it soft], and put it into molds to make bricks [to repair the walls]!
Navaž sobě vody k obležení, upevni ohrady své, vejdi do bláta a šlapej hlinu, oprav cihelnu.
15 [Nevertheless, your enemies] will burn your [city]; they will kill you with their swords; they will kill you like [SIM] locusts [destroy crops].
Tam tě sžíře oheň, vytne tě meč, sžíře tě jako brouky, nechť jest vás veliký počet jako brouků, nechť jest vás veliký počet jako kobylek.
16 In your [city] there are now very many merchants; [it seems that] there are more of them than there are stars. But [when your city is being destroyed, those merchants will take the valuable things and disappear] [like] [SIM] locusts that strip the leaves from plants and [then] fly away.
Rozmnožilo jsi kupce své nad hvězdy nebeské, brouci připadnou i zaletují.
17 Your leaders are [also] like a swarm of [SIM] locusts [DOU] that crowd together on the stone fences/walls on a cold day, and [then] fly away when the sun comes up, and no one knows where they have gone.
Znamenití tvoji jako kobylky, a hejtmané tvoji jako velicí chroustové, kteříž se kladou vojensky po plotích v čas studena. Slunce vzešlo, tožť letí, aniž znáti místa jejich, kde byli.
18 O King of Assyria, your officials will [all] be dead [EUP]; your important people will lie down and rest [forever]. Your people will be scattered over the mountains, and there will no one to gather them [together].
Zdřímají pastýři tvoji, ó králi Assyrský, ležeti budou znamenití tvoji, hojnost lidu tvého bude po horách, ale nebude žádného, kdo by shromáždil.
19 You [are like someone who] has a wound that cannot be healed; [it will be] a wound that causes him to die. And all those who hear about what has happened to you will clap their hands [joyfully]. [They will say, ] “Everyone has [RHQ] suffered because he continually was [very] cruel to us.”
K potření tvému není žádného léku, bolest rány tvé rozmohla se. Kteřížkoli uslyší pověst o tobě, rukama plésati budou nad tebou. Nebo na koho ustavičně nedocházelo ukrutenství tvé?
