Nahum 2
1 The one who scatters has come to attack you! Guard the fortresses! Watch the roads! Get yourselves ready! Call every soldier out!
尼尼微啊，那打碎邦國的上來攻擊你。 你要看守保障，謹防道路， 使腰強壯，大大勉力。 （
2 (For the Lord will restore the splendor of the people of Jacob as he will restore the splendor of Israel, for invaders have plundered them, and destroyed their land.)
耶和華復興雅各的榮華， 好像以色列的榮華一樣； 因為使地空虛的， 已經使雅各和以色列空虛， 將他們的葡萄枝毀壞了。）
3 The shields of his chief soldiers are red; the warriors wear scarlet. His chariots flash like fire in the sunlight as he prepares for battle. Spears with their wooden shafts are held up and shaken.
他勇士的盾牌是紅的， 精兵都穿朱紅衣服。 在他預備爭戰的日子， 戰車上的鋼鐵閃爍如火， 柏木把的槍也掄起來了。
4 Chariots race madly through the streets, rushing back and forth across the town squares. Bright as torches, they dash like lightning flashes.
車輛在街上急行， 在寬闊處奔來奔去， 形狀如火把， 飛跑如閃電。
5 He shouts orders to his officers. They stumble as they rush to attack the wall. The battering ram is set up.
尼尼微王招聚他的貴冑； 他們步行絆跌， 速上城牆，預備擋牌。
6 The river gates are opened; the palace washes away.
河閘開放，宮殿沖沒。
7 “Queen” Nineveh is stripped, and led away into exile, with her servant girls mourning like doves, and beating their breasts.
王后蒙羞，被人擄去； 宮女搥胸，哀鳴如鴿。 此乃命定之事。
8 Nineveh is a leaky pool—its population is like water running away. “Stop! Stop” people shout, but nobody turns back.
尼尼微自古以來充滿人民， 如同聚水的池子； 現在居民卻都逃跑。 雖有人呼喊說：站住！站住！ 卻無人回顧。
9 Loot the silver! Loot the gold! There's an endless supply—an abundance of everything you could ever want.
你們搶掠金銀吧！ 因為所積蓄的無窮， 華美的寶器無數。
10 Deserted, destroyed, devastated! Hearts faint, knees tremble, stomachs ache. Everyone's faces turn pale.
尼尼微現在空虛荒涼， 人心消化，雙膝相碰， 腰都疼痛，臉都變色。
11 Where now is the lion's den? Where is the place where the young lions used to feed? Where is the lion, and the lioness, and the lion cub that were afraid of no one?
獅子的洞和少壯獅子餵養之處在哪裏呢？ 公獅母獅小獅遊行、無人驚嚇之地在哪裏呢？
12 The lion tears apart meat for his cubs, and strangles prey for his lionesses. He fills his den with prey, his lair with carcasses.
公獅為小獅撕碎許多食物， 為母獅掐死活物， 把撕碎的、掐死的充滿牠的洞穴。
13 Watch out! For I am against you, declares the Lord Almighty. I will set fire to your chariots and they will go up in smoke. Your strong young men will be killed by the sword. I will stop you plundering other peoples. The demands of your ambassadors will no longer be heard.
萬軍之耶和華說：「我與你為敵，必將你的車輛焚燒成煙，刀劍也必吞滅你的少壯獅子。我必從地上除滅你所撕碎的，你使者的聲音必不再聽見。」
