Naum 3
1 Ai da cidade ensanguentada, que está toda cheia de mentiras e de rapina! não se aparta d'ella o roubo.
Woe to the city full of blood! It is all full of lies and stolen property; victims are always in her.
2 Estrepito de açoite ha, e o estrondo do ruido das rodas; e os cavallos atropellam, e carros vão saltando.
But now there is the noise of whips and the sound of rattling wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots.
3 O cavalleiro levanta assim a espada flammejante, como a lança relampagueante, e ali haverá uma multidão de mortos, e abundancia de cadaveres, e não terão fim os defuntos; tropeçarão nos seus corpos
There are attacking horsemen, flashing swords, glittering spears, heaps of corpses, great piles of bodies. There is no end to the bodies; their attackers stumble over them.
4 Por causa da multidão das fornicações da meretriz mui graciosa, da mestra das feitiçarias, que vendeu os povos com as suas fornicações, e as gerações com as suas feitiçarias.
This is happening because of the lustful actions of the beautiful prostitute, the expert in witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and peoples through her acts of witchcraft.
5 Eis que eu estou contra ti, diz o Senhor dos Exercitos, e descobrirei as tuas fraldas sobre a tua face, e ás nações mostrarei a tua nudez, e aos reinos a tua vergonha.
“See, I am against you—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—I will raise up your skirt over your face and show your private parts to the nations, your shame to the kingdoms.
6 E lançarei sobre ti coisas abominaveis, e te envergonharei, e pôr-te-hei como espectaculo.
I will throw disgusting filth on you and make you vile; I will make you someone that everyone will look at.
7 E ha de ser que, todos os que te virem, fugirão de ti, e dirão: Ninive está destruida, quem terá compaixão d'ella? d'onde te buscarei consoladores?
It will come about that everyone who looks at you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is destroyed; who will weep for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?”
8 És tu melhor do que Nóammon, que está assentada nos rios, cercada de aguas, que tinha por esplanada o mar, cuja muralha é do mar
Nineveh, are you better than Thebes, that was built on the Nile River, that had water around her, whose defense was the ocean, whose wall was the sea itself?
9 Ethiopia e Egypto eram a sua força, e não havia fim: Put e Lybia te foram de soccorro.
Cush and Egypt were her strength, and there was no end to it; Put and Libya were allies to her.
10 Todavia foi levada captiva para o desterro: tambem os seus filhos são despedaçados no topo de todas as ruas, e sobre os seus honrados lançaram sortes, e todos os seus grandes foram presos com grilhões.
Yet Thebes was carried away; she went into captivity; her young children were dashed in pieces at the head of every street; her enemies threw lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Tu tambem serás embriagada, e te esconderás; tambem buscarás força por causa do inimigo.
You also will become drunk; you will try to hide, and you will also look for a refuge from your enemy.
12 Todas as tuas fortalezas serão como figueiras com figos temporãos; se se sacodem, caem na bocca do que os ha de comer.
All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the earliest ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Eis que o teu povo no meio de ti será como de mulheres: as portas da tua terra estarão de todo abertas aos teus inimigos: o fogo consumirá os teus ferrolhos.
See, the people among you are women; the gates of your land have been opened wide to your enemies; fire has devoured their bars.
14 Tira aguas para o cerco, fortifica as tuas fortalezas, entra no lodo, e pisa o barro, repara o forno dos ladrilhos.
Go draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses; go into the clay and tread the mortar; pick up the molds for the bricks.
15 O fogo ali te consumirá, a espada te exterminará, te consumirá, como a locusta; multiplica-te como a locusta, multiplica-te como os gafanhotos.
Fire will devour you there, and the sword will destroy you. It will devour you as young locusts devour everything. Make yourselves as many as the young locusts, as many as the full-grown locusts.
16 Multiplicaste os teus negociantes mais do que as estrellas do céu, a locusta se espalhará e voará.
You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars in the heavens; but they are like young locusts: they plunder the land and then fly away.
17 Os teus coroados são como os gafanhotos, e os teus chefes como os gafanhotos grandes, que se acampam nas sebes nos dias de frio; em subindo o sol voam, de sorte que não se conhece mais o logar onde estiveram.
Your princes are as many as the full-grown locusts, and your generals are like swarms of them that camp in the walls on a cold day. But when the sun rises they fly away to no one knows where.
18 Os teus pastores dormitarão, ó rei da Assyria, os teus illustres deitar-se-hão, o teu povo se derramará pelos montes; sem que haja quem o ajunte.
King of Assyria, your shepherds are asleep; your rulers are lying down resting. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.
19 Não ha cura para a tua quebradura, a tua ferida é dolorosa: todos os que ouvirem a tua fama baterão as palmas sobre ti; porque, sobre quem não passou continuamente a tua malicia?
No healing is possible for your wounds. Your wounds are severe. Everyone who hears the news about you will clap their hands in joy over you. Who has escaped your constant wickedness?
