Nahum 2
1 Nineveh! The destroyer has come up against you; mount guard upon the rampart; watch the road; brace yourselves; strengthen your might to the utmost.
尼尼微啊，那打碎邦国的上来攻击你。 你要看守保障，谨防道路， 使腰强壮，大大勉力。 （
2 For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob and of Israel, though the devastators have plundered them and destroyed their vines.
耶和华复兴雅各的荣华， 好像以色列的荣华一样； 因为使地空虚的， 已经使雅各和以色列空虚， 将他们的葡萄枝毁坏了。）
3 The shields of his warriors are dyed red, his soldiers are clothed in scarlet, his chariots gleam like fire on the day he prepares for battle spears are shaken.
他勇士的盾牌是红的， 精兵都穿朱红衣服。 在他预备争战的日子， 战车上的钢铁闪烁如火， 柏木把的枪也抡起来了。
4 Chariots rush across the fields, storm through the squares; they flame like torches, they dart like lightening.
车辆在街上急行， 在宽阔处奔来奔去， 形状如火把， 飞跑如闪电。
5 A leader rallies his nobles, they hurl themselves forward. They speed on toward the wall; the storming-shield is set up.
尼尼微王招聚他的贵胄； 他们步行绊跌， 速上城墙，预备挡牌。
6 The water-gates are thrown open, and the palace dissolves in ruins.
河闸开放，宫殿冲没。
7 The queen is stripped, she is carried off. Her maids moan like doves, beating upon their breasts.
王后蒙羞，被人掳去； 宫女捶胸，哀鸣如鸽。 此乃命定之事。
8 Like a pool of water is Nineveh, her waters fast ebbing away. ‘Stand firm! Stand firm!’ someone cries, but no one turns back.
尼尼微自古以来充满人民， 如同聚水的池子； 现在居民却都逃跑。 虽有人呼喊说：站住！站住！ 却无人回顾。
9 ‘Loot the silver, loot the gold, for there is no end to the treasure, the wealth and precious things.’
你们抢掠金银吧！ 因为所积蓄的无穷， 华美的宝器无数。
10 Nineveh is empty, desolate, devastated, with faint heart and knocking knee. There is weakness in every limb, and faces grow pale.
尼尼微现在空虚荒凉， 人心消化，双膝相碰， 腰都疼痛，脸都变色。
11 Where now is the den of lions? Where now the lair of their young? Where the lion used to withdraw, with his cubs, with none to disturb them?
狮子的洞和少壮狮子喂养之处在哪里呢？ 公狮母狮小狮游行、无人惊吓之地在哪里呢？
12 The lion tore enough for his cubs, and strangled prey for his lionesses. He filled his caves with the kill, he filled his lairs with fresh meat.
公狮为小狮撕碎许多食物， 为母狮掐死活物， 把撕碎的、掐死的充满它的洞穴。
13 ‘But see, I am against you,’ the Lord of hosts declares, ‘I will burn your chariots in smoke and fire. The sword will devour your young lions. You will never again prey on the land. No more will your messengers be heard.’
万军之耶和华说：“我与你为敌，必将你的车辆焚烧成烟，刀剑也必吞灭你的少壮狮子。我必从地上除灭你所撕碎的，你使者的声音必不再听见。”
