Nahum 2
1 He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!
Izaðe zatiraè na te, èuvaj grad, pazi na put, utvrdi bedra, ukrijepi se dobro.
2 For the LORD restores the excellency of Jacob as the excellency of Israel, for the destroyers have destroyed them and ruined their vine branches.
Jer Gospod povrati slavu Jakovljevu kao slavu Izrailjevu, jer ih pustošnici opustošiše i loze im potrše.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
Štit je junaka njegovijeh crven, vojnici su u skerletu; kola æe mu biti kao zapaljeni luèevi na dan kad se uvrsta, i jele æe se ljuljati strašno.
4 The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the wide ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
Kola æe praskati po ulicama i udarati jedna o druga po putovima, biæe kao luèevi, i trèaæe kao munje.
5 He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
Pominjaæe junake svoje, a oni æe padati iduæi, pohitjeæe k zidovima njegovijem, i zaklon æe biti gotov.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
Vrata æe se rijekama otvoriti, i dvor æe se razvaliti.
7 It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her servants moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
I koja stoji, zarobiæe se i odvešæe se, djevojke njezine pratiæe je uzdišuæi kao golubice, bijuæi se u prsi.
8 But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.
Ninevija bijaše kao jezero vodeno otkako je; ali bježe. Stanite, stanite. Ali se niko ne obzire.
9 Take the plunder of silver. Take the plunder of gold, for there is no end of treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
Grabite srebro, grabite zlato; blagu nema kraja, mnoštvo je svakojakih dragih zaklada.
10 She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
Isprazni se, i ogolje, i opustje; i srce se rastopi, koljena udaraju jedno o drugo, i bol je u svijem bedrima, i lica su svjema pocrnjela.
11 Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked with the lion’s cubs, and no one made them afraid?
Gdje je loža lavovima i pasište laviæima, kuda iðaše lav i lavica i laviæ, i nikoga ne bješe da plaši?
12 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled prey for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill and his dens with prey.
Lav lovljaše svojim laviæima dosta, i davljaše lavicama svojim, i punjaše peæine svoje lova i lože svoje grabeža.
13 “Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
Evo me na te, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i popaliæu kola tvoja u dim, i maè æe proždrijeti laviæe tvoje, i istrijebiæu sa zemlje grabež tvoj, i neæe se èuti glas poslanika tvojih.
