Nahum 2
1 He stiede up, that schal scatere bifore thee, that schal kepe bisechyng; biholde thou the weie, coumforte leendis, strengthe thou vertu greetli.
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 as the Lord yeldide the pride of Jacob, so the pride of Israel; for distrieris scateriden hem, and distrieden the generaciouns of hem.
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 scheld of stronge men of hym ben firi, men of the oost ben in rede clothis; raynes of fire of chare, in the dai of his makyng redi; and the leederis therof ben asleep.
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 In weies thei ben troblid togidere, cartis of foure horsis ben hurtlid togidere in stretis; the siyte of hem as laumpis, as leitis rennynge aboute.
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 schal bithenke of his stronge men, thei schulen falle in her weies; and swiftli thei schulen stie on the wallis therof, and schadewyng place schal be maad redi.
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 Yatis of floodis ben openyd, and the temple is brokun doun to erthe.
河々の門啓け宮消うせん
7 And a knyyt is led awei caitif, and the handmaidis therof schulen be dryuun sorewynge as culueris, grutchynge in her hertis.
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 And Nynyue, as a cisterne of watris the watris therof; forsothe thei fledden; stonde ye, stonde ye, and there is not that schal turne ayen.
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 Rauysche ye siluer, rauysche ye gold; and there is noon ende of richessis, of alle desirable vessels.
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 It is distried, and kit, and to-rent, and herte failynge, and vnknyttinge of smale knees, and failynge in alle reynes; and the face of alle ben as blacnesse of a pot.
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 dwellyng of liouns, and lesewis of whelpis of liouns? To whiche citee the lioun yede, that the whelp of the lioun schulde entre thidur, and there is not that schal make aferd.
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 lioun took ynow to hise whelpis, and slowy to his lionessis; and fillide her dennes with prei, and his couche with raueyn.
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 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal brenne thi cartis of foure horsis til to the hiyeste, and swerd schal ete thi smale liouns; and Y schal distrie thi prei fro the lond, and the vois of thi messangeris schulen no more be herd.
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
