Nahum 2

KJV

1  He that dasheth in pieces⁶³²⁷ is come up⁵⁹²⁷ before⁵⁹²¹ thy face:⁶⁴⁴⁰ keep⁵³⁴¹ the munition,⁴⁶⁹⁴ watch⁶⁸²² the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ make thy loins strong,^{2388 4975} fortify⁵⁵³ thy power³⁵⁸¹ mightily.³⁹⁶⁶

2  For³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath turned away^{7725 853} the excellency¹³⁴⁷ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ as the excellency¹³⁴⁷ of Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the emptiers¹²³⁸ have emptied¹²³⁸ them out, and marred⁷⁸⁴³ their vine branches.²¹⁵⁶

3  The shield⁴⁰⁴³ of his mighty men¹³⁶⁸ is made red,¹¹⁹ the valiant²⁴²⁸ men³⁷⁶ are in scarlet:⁸⁵²⁹ the chariots⁷³⁹³ shall be with flaming⁷⁸⁴ torches⁶³⁹³ in the day³¹¹⁷ of his preparation,³⁵⁵⁹ and the fir trees¹²⁶⁵ shall be terribly shaken.⁷⁴⁷⁷

4  The chariots⁷³⁹³ shall rage¹⁹⁸⁴ in the streets,²³⁵¹ they shall jostle one against another⁸²⁶⁴ in the broad ways:⁷³³⁹ they shall seem⁴⁷⁵⁸ like torches,³⁹⁴⁰ they shall run⁷³²³ like the lightnings.¹³⁰⁰

5  He shall recount²¹⁴² his worthies:¹¹⁷ they shall stumble³⁷⁸² in their walk;¹⁹⁷⁹ they shall make haste⁴¹¹⁶ to the wall²³⁴⁶ thereof, and the defense⁵⁵²⁶ shall be prepared.³⁵⁵⁹

6  The gates⁸¹⁷⁹ of the rivers⁵¹⁰⁴ shall be opened,⁶⁶⁰⁵ and the palace¹⁹⁶⁴ shall be dissolved.⁴¹²⁷

7  And Huzzab⁵³²⁴ shall be led away captive,¹⁵⁴⁰ she shall be brought up,⁵⁹²⁷ and her maids⁵¹⁹ shall lead⁵⁰⁹⁰ her as with the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of doves,³¹²³ taboring⁸⁶⁰⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ their breasts.³⁸²⁴

8  But Nineveh⁵²¹⁰ is of old^{4480 3117} like a pool¹²⁹⁵ of water:⁴³²⁵ yet they¹⁹⁹² shall flee away.⁵¹²⁷ Stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ shall they cry; but none³⁶⁹ shall look back.⁶⁴³⁷

9  Take ye the spoil⁹⁶² of silver,³⁷⁰¹ take the spoil⁹⁶² of gold:²⁰⁹¹ for there is none³⁶⁹ end⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the store⁸⁴⁹⁸ and glory³⁵¹⁹ out of all^{4480 3605} the pleasant²⁵³² furniture.³⁶²⁷

10  She is empty,⁹⁵⁰ and void,⁴⁰⁰³ and waste:¹¹¹⁰ and the heart³⁸²⁰ melteth,⁴⁵⁴⁹ and the knees¹²⁹⁰ smite together,⁶³⁷⁵ and much pain²⁴⁷⁹ is in all³⁶⁰⁵ loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and the faces⁶⁴⁴⁰ of them all³⁶⁰⁵ gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ blackness.⁶²⁸⁹

11  Where³⁴⁶ is the dwelling⁴⁵⁸³ of the lions,⁷³⁸ and the feeding place⁴⁸²⁹ of the young lions,³⁷¹⁵ where^{834 8033} the lion,⁷³⁸ even the old lion,³⁸³³ walked,¹⁹⁸⁰ and the lion's⁷³⁸ whelp,¹⁴⁸² and none³⁶⁹ made them afraid?²⁷²⁹

12  The lion⁷³⁸ did tear in pieces²⁹⁶³ enough¹⁷⁶⁷ for his whelps,¹⁴⁸⁴ and strangled²⁶¹⁴ for his lionesses,³⁸³³ and filled⁴³⁹⁰ his holes²³⁵⁶ with prey,²⁹⁶⁴ and his dens⁴⁵⁸⁵ with ravin.²⁹⁶⁶

13  Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I am against⁴¹³ thee, saith⁵⁰⁰² the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ and I will burn¹¹⁹⁷ her chariots⁷³⁹³ in the smoke,⁶²²⁷ and the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall devour³⁹⁸ thy young lions:³⁷¹⁵ and I will cut off³⁷⁷² thy prey²⁹⁶⁴ from the earth,^{4480 776} and the voice⁶⁹⁶³ of thy messengers⁴³⁹⁷ shall no³⁸⁰⁸ more⁵⁷⁵⁰ be heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

1 ἰδοὺ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη οἱ πόδες εὐαγγελιζομένου καὶ ἀπαγγέλλοντος εἰρήνην ἑόρταζε Ιουδα τὰς ἑορτάς σου ἀπόδος τὰς εὐχάς σου διότι οὐ μὴ προσθήσωσιν ἔτι τοῦ διελθεῖν διὰ σοῦ εἰς παλαίωσιν συντετέλεσται ἐξῆρται

2 ἀνέβη ἐμφυσῶν εἰς πρόσωπόν σου ἐξαιρούμενος ἐκ θλίψεως σκόπευσον ὁδόν κράτησον ὀσφύος ἄνδρισαι τῇ ἰσχύι σφόδρα

3 διότι ἀπέστρεψεν κύριος τὴν ὕβριν Ιακωβ καθὼς ὕβριν τοῦ Ισραηλ διότι ἐκτινάσσοντες ἐξετίναξαν αὐτοὺς καὶ τὰ κλήματα αὐτῶν διέφθειραν

4 ὅπλα δυναστείας αὐτῶν ἐξ ἀνθρώπων ἄνδρας δυνατοὺς ἐμπαίζοντας ἐν πυρί αἱ ἡνίαι τῶν ἁρμάτων αὐτῶν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑτοιμασίας αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἱππεῖς θορυβηθήσονται

5 ἐν ταῖς ὁδοῖς καὶ συγχυθήσονται τὰ ἅρματα καὶ συμπλακήσονται ἐν ταῖς πλατείαις ἡ ὅρασις αὐτῶν ὡς λαμπάδες πυρὸς καὶ ὡς ἀστραπαὶ διατρέχουσαι

6 καὶ μνησθήσονται οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῶν καὶ φεύξονται ἡμέρας καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τῇ πορείᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ σπεύσουσιν ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη καὶ ἑτοιμάσουσιν τὰς προφυλακὰς αὐτῶν

7 πύλαι τῶν ποταμῶν διηνοίχθησαν καὶ τὰ βασίλεια διέπεσεν

8 καὶ ἡ ὑπόστασις ἀπεκαλύφθη καὶ αὕτη ἀνέβαινεν καὶ αἱ δοῦλαι αὐτῆς ἤγοντο καθὼς περιστεραὶ φθεγγόμεναι ἐν καρδίαις αὐτῶν

9 καὶ Νινευη ὡς κολυμβήθρα ὕδατος τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς καὶ αὐτοὶ φεύγοντες οὐκ ἔστησαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐπιβλέπων

10 διήρπαζον τὸ ἀργύριον διήρπαζον τὸ χρυσίον καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῦ κόσμου αὐτῆς βεβάρυνται ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἐπιθυμητὰ αὐτῆς

11 ἐκτιναγμὸς καὶ ἀνατιναγμὸς καὶ ἐκβρασμὸς καὶ καρδίας θραυσμὸς καὶ ὑπόλυσις γονάτων καὶ ὠδῖνες ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὀσφύν καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον πάντων ὡς πρόσκαυμα χύτρας

12 ποῦ ἐστιν τὸ κατοικητήριον τῶν λεόντων καὶ ἡ νομὴ ἡ οὖσα τοῖς σκύμνοις οὗ ἐπορεύθη λέων τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν ἐκεῖ σκύμνος λέοντος καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκφοβῶν

13 λέων ἥρπασεν τὰ ἱκανὰ τοῖς σκύμνοις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέπνιξεν τοῖς λέουσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπλησεν θήρας νοσσιὰν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ κατοικητήριον αὐτοῦ ἁρπαγῆς

14 ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ λέγει κύριος παντοκράτωρ καὶ ἐκκαύσω ἐν καπνῷ πλῆθός σου καὶ τοὺς λέοντάς σου καταφάγεται ῥομφαία καὶ ἐξολεθρεύσω ἐκ τῆς γῆς τὴν θήραν σου καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀκουσθῇ οὐκέτι τὰ ἔργα σου

1 [Ascendit qui dispergat coram te,
qui custodiat obsidionem:
contemplare viam, conforta lumbos,
robora virtutem valde.

2 Quia reddidit Dominus superbiam Jacob,
sicut superbiam Israël;
quia vastatores dissipaverunt eos,
et propagines eorum corruperunt.

3 Clypeus fortium ejus ignitus,
viri exercitus in coccineis;
igneæ habenæ currus in die præparationis ejus,
et agitatores consopiti sunt.

4 In itineribus conturbati sunt;
quadrigæ collisæ sunt in plateis:
aspectus eorum quasi lampades,
quasi fulgura discurrentia.

5 Recordabitur fortium suorum;
ruent in itineribus suis:
velociter ascendent muros ejus,
et præparabitur umbraculum.

6 Portæ fluviorum apertæ sunt,
et templum ad solum dirutum.

7 Et miles captivus abductus est,
et ancillæ ejus minabantur gementes ut columbæ,
murmurantes in cordibus suis.

8 Et Ninive quasi piscina aquarum aquæ ejus;
ipsi vero fugerunt. State, state!
et non est qui revertatur.

9 Diripite argentum, diripite aurum:
et non est finis divitiarum ex omnibus vasis desiderabilibus.

10 Dissipata est, et scissa, et dilacerata;
et cor tabescens, et dissolutio geniculorum,
et defectio in cunctis renibus,
et facies omnium eorum sicut nigredo ollæ.

11 Ubi est habitaculum leonum,
et pascua catulorum leonum,
ad quam ivit leo ut ingrederetur illuc catulus leonis,
et non est qui exterreat?

12 Leo cepit sufficienter catulis suis,
et necavit leænis suis,
et implevit præda speluncas suas,
et cubile suum rapina.

13 Ecce ego ad te, dicit Dominus exercituum,
et succendam usque ad fumum quadrigas tuas,
et leunculos tuos comedet gladius,
et exterminabo de terra prædam tuam,
et non audietur ultra vox nuntiorum tuorum.]
