Nahum 3
1 Woe to the bloody city! it [is] all full of lies [and] robberies; the prey departeth not;
Teško gradu krvnièkom, vas je pun laži i otimanja, grabež ne izbiva iz njega.
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the prancing horses, and of the bounding chariots.
Pucaju bièevi, i toèkovi prašte, i konji topoæu, i kola skaèu,
3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword, and the glittering spear: and [there is] a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcasses; and [there is] no end of [their] corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
Konjanici poskakuju, i maèevi se sjaju, i koplja sijevaju, i mnoštvo je pobijenijeh i sila mrtvijeh tjelesa, nema broja mrtvacima; i pada se preko mrtvaca,
4 Because of the multitude of the lewd deeds of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her lewd deeds, and families through her witchcrafts.
Za mnoštvo kurvarstva ljupke kurve, vješte bajaèice, koja prodaje narode svojim kurvanjem i plemena vraèanjem svojim.
5 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will remove thy skirts upon thy face, and I will show the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Evo me na te, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i uzgrnuæu ti skute tvoje na lice, i pokazaæu narodima golotinju tvoju i carstvima sramotu tvoju.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazing-stock.
I baciæu na tebe gadove i naružiæu te, i naèiniæu od tebe ugled.
7 And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her; whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
I ko te god vidi, bježaæe od tebe, i govoriæe: opustje Ninevija; ko æe je žaliti? gdje æu tražiti one koji bi te tješili?
8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situated among the rivers, [that had] the waters around it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea?
Jesi li bolja od No-Amona, koji ležaše meðu rijekama, optoèen vodom, kojemu prednja kula bješe more i zidovi mu bjehu more?
9 Cush and Egypt [were] her strength, and [it was] infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
Jaèina mu bješe Huska zemlja i Misir i narodi bez broja; Futeji i Liveji bjehu ti pomoænici.
10 Yet [was] she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
I on bi preseljen, otide u ropstvo, i djeca njegova biše razmrskana po uglovima svijeh ulica; i za glavare njegove bacaše ždrijeb, i svi vlastelji njegovi biše okovani u puta.
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
I ti æeš se opiti i kriæeš se, i ti æeš tražiti zaklon od neprijatelja.
12 All thy strong holds [shall be like] fig-trees with the first ripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Svi æe gradovi tvoji biti kao smokve s ranijem rodom; kad se tresnu, padaju u usta onome ko hoæe da jede.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee [are] women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open to thy enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
Eto, narod su ti žene usred tebe; neprijateljima æe tvojim biti širom otvorena vrata od zemlje tvoje, oganj æe proždrijeti prijevornice tvoje.
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the mortar, make strong the brick-kiln.
Nahvataj sebi vode za opsadu, utvrdi ograde svoje; uði u kao i ugazi blato, opravi peæ za opeke.
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the canker-worm: make thyself many as the canker-worm, make thyself many as the locusts.
Ondje æe te proždrijeti oganj, maè æe te isjeæi, izješæe te kao hrušt; neka vas je mnogo kao hrušteva, neka vas je mnogo kao skakavaca.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the canker-worm spoileth, and flieth away.
Imaš trgovaca više nego što je zvijezda na nebu; hruštevi padoše, pa odletješe.
17 Thy crowned [are] as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which settle in the hedges in the cold day, [but] when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they [are].
Glavari su tvoji kao skakavci i vojvode tvoje kao veliki skakavci, koji padaju po plotovima kad je studeno, a kad sunce grane, odlijeæu, i mjesto im se ne poznaje gdje bjehu.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell [in the dust]: thy people are scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth [them].
Zadrijemaše tvoji pastiri, care Asirski, polijegaše junaci tvoji, narod se tvoj rasprša po gorama, i nema nikoga da ih zbere.
19 [There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the fame of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Nema lijeka polomu tvom, ljuta je rana tvoja; ko god èuje glas o tebi, pljeskaæe rukama nad tobom, jer koga nije stizala zloæa tvoja jednako?
