Nachuma 2
1 Postītājs ceļas pret tevi, - sargi pili, lūko uz ceļu, stiprini gurnus un centies spēcīgi!
He is come up that shall destroy before thy face, that shall keep the siege: watch the way, fortify thy loins, strengthen thy power exceedingly.
2 Jo Tas Kungs atkal uzceļ Jēkaba godību, tā kā Israēla godību, jo laupītāji tos aplaupījuši un maitājuši viņu vīna stīgas.
For the Lord hath rendered the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: because the spoilers have laid them waste, and have marred their vine branches.
3 Viņa varoņu priekšturamās bruņas ir sarkanas, viņa kara ļaudis purpurā ģērbušies, rati spīd kā uguns liesmas tai dienā, kad viņš apbruņojās, un šķēpi top cilāti.
The shield of his mighty men is like fire, the men of the army are clad in scarlet, the reins of the chariot are flaming in the day of his preparation, and the drivers are stupefied.
4 Rati rīb uz ielām, tie skraida gatvēs, viņu izskats ir kā uguns lāpas, tie laistās kā zibeņi.
They are in confusion in the ways, the chariots jostle one against another in the streets: their looks are like torches, like lightning running to and fro.
5 Viņš piemin savus varenos, tie klūp savā ceļā, tie steidzās uz mūriem un sataisa patvērumu.
He will muster up his valiant men, they shall stumble in their march: they shall quickly get upon the walls thereof: and a covering shall be prepared.
6 Upju vārti ir atdarīti, un pils iet bojā.
The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down to the ground.
7 Un ķēniņiene krīt kaunā un top aizvesta, un viņas kalpotājas vaid kā baloži un sit pie savām krūtīm.
And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts.
8 Jo Ninive bija kā ūdeņu ezers no tā laika, kad tā cēlusies. Bet tie bēg. Stāvat, stāvat! Bet neviens neskatās atpakaļ.
And as for Ninive, her waters are like a great pool, but the men flee away. They cry: Stand, stand, but there is none that will return back.
9 Laupāt sudrabu, laupāt zeltu, jo tur mantas bez gala un visādu dārgumu papilnam.
Take ye the spoil of the silver, take the spoil of the gold: for there is no end of the riches of all the precious furniture.
10 Posts un postaža un tuksnesis, sirds izkūst, ceļi dreb, un visi gurni gurst, un visi viņu vaigi nobāl.
She is destroyed, and rent, and torn: the heart melteth, and the knees fail, and all the loins lose their strength: and the faces of them all are as the blackness of a kettle.
11 Kur nu ir tas lauvu dzīvoklis un tā jauno lauvu ganība, kur tas lauva, tā lauvu māte ar tiem lauvu bērniem staigāja, un nebija, kas tos iztraucēja?
Where is now the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, to which the lion went, to enter in thither, the young lion, and there was none to make them afraid?
12 Bet tas lauva laupīja gan priekš saviem bērniem un žņaudza priekš tām lauvu mātēm, savas alas viņš pildīja ar laupījumu un savus dzīvokļus ar to, ko saplosīja.
The lion caught enough for his whelps, and killed for his lionesses: and he filled his holes with prey, and his den with rapine.
13 Redzi, Es celšos pret tevi, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot; un sadedzināšu dūmos viņas ratus un zobens aprīs tavus lauvu bērnus, un Es izdeldēšu tavu laupījumu no zemes, un tavu vēstnešu balsi vairs nedzirdēs.
Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy messengers shall be heard no more.
