Naum 2
1 Izaðe zatiraè na te, èuvaj grad, pazi na put, utvrdi bedra, ukrijepi se dobro.
He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 Jer Gospod povrati slavu Jakovljevu kao slavu Izrailjevu, jer ih pustošnici opustošiše i loze im potrše.
For YHWH hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 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.
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4 Kola æe praskati po ulicama i udarati jedna o druga po putovima, biæe kao luèevi, i trèaæe kao munje.
The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5 Pominjaæe junake svoje, a oni æe padati iduæi, pohitjeæe k zidovima njegovijem, i zaklon æe biti gotov.
He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make hast to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
6 Vrata æe se rijekama otvoriti, i dvor æe se razvaliti.
The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7 I koja stoji, zarobiæe se i odvešæe se, djevojke njezine pratiæe je uzdišuæi kao golubice, bijuæi se u prsi.
And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8 Ninevija bijaše kao jezero vodeno otkako je; ali bježe. Stanite, stanite. Ali se niko ne obzire.
But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
9 Grabite srebro, grabite zlato; blagu nema kraja, mnoštvo je svakojakih dragih zaklada.
Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
10 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.
She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11 Gdje je loža lavovima i pasište laviæima, kuda iðaše lav i lavica i laviæ, i nikoga ne bješe da plaši?
Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 Lav lovljaše svojim laviæima dosta, i davljaše lavicama svojim, i punjaše peæine svoje lova i lože svoje grabeža.
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13 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.
Behold, I am against thee, saith YHWH of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
