那鸿书 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
以其得胜之军倾覆尼尼微
2 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 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 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 车辆在街上[a]急行,在宽阔处奔来奔去,形状如火把,飞跑如闪电。 5 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 河闸开放,宫殿冲没。 7 王后蒙羞,被人掳去,宫女捶胸,哀鸣如鸽。此乃命定之事。
8 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 你们抢掠金银吧!因为所积蓄的无穷,华美的宝器无数。 10 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 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 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 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。”

那鸿书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
尼尼微的覆灭
2 尼尼微啊,
攻击者已经向你扑来。
你要进驻堡垒,
把守道路,
集中全力,
准备上阵!
2 虽然掳掠者曾掳掠雅各,
掳掠以色列,
毁坏他们的葡萄树枝,
但耶和华必恢复雅各的荣耀,
恢复以色列的荣耀。
3 他的勇士手持红色盾牌,
他的士兵身穿朱红战衣。
整装待发之日,
战车铁光闪闪,
松木矛枪在空中挥舞。
4 战车在街道上狂奔,
在广场上横冲直撞,
亮如火炬,疾似闪电。
5 亚述王召集将领,
他们一路跌跌撞撞,
奔上城墙,架起防御盾牌。
6 河闸大开,王宫坍塌。
7 王后赤身被掳;
宫女捶胸悲泣,
像鸽子一样哀鸣。
8 尼尼微城自古以来就像聚水的池子,
如今居民却像泄漏的池水四散奔逃。
虽有人喊:“站住!站住!”
却无人回头。
9 抢银子吧!抢金子吧!
城里有无尽的财富和数不清的宝物。
10 尼尼微被洗劫一空!
被洗劫一空!
一片荒凉!
人们胆战心惊,双膝哆嗦,
浑身发抖,面色苍白。
11 如今那狮子的洞穴,
那喂养壮狮的地方在哪里呢?
从前,雄狮、母狮和幼狮曾在那里出入,
无人惊扰。
12 雄狮为幼狮撕碎充足的食物,
为母狮掐死猎物,
洞穴里堆满猎物,
堆满撕碎的肉。
13 万军之耶和华说:
“我要与你为敌,
烧毁你的战车,
使刀剑吞噬你的壮狮;
我要使你无法再掳掠他国,
你使者的声音将从此消逝。”
Nahum 2
Easy-to-Read Version
Nineveh Will Be Destroyed
2 An enemy is coming to attack you,
so guard the strong places of your city.
Watch the road.
Get ready for war.
Prepare for battle!
2 Yes, the Lord changed Jacob’s pride.
He made it like Israel’s pride.
The enemy destroyed them
and ruined their grapevines.
3 The shields of his soldiers are red.
Their uniforms are bright red.
Their chariots are shining like flames of fire
and are lined up for battle.
Their horses are ready to go.
4 The chariots race wildly through the streets
and rush back and forth through the square.
They look like burning torches,
like lightning flashing from place to place!
5 The enemy calls for his best soldiers.
They stumble as they rush ahead.
They run to the wall
and set up their shield over the battering ram.
6 But the gates by the rivers are open,
and the enemy comes flooding in and destroys the king’s palace.
7 The enemy takes away the queen,
and her slave girls moan sadly like doves.
They beat their breasts to show their sadness.
8 Nineveh is like a pool whose water
is draining away.
People yell, “Stop! Stop running away!”
But it does not do any good.
9 Take the silver!
Take the gold!
There are many things to take.
There are many treasures.
10 Now Nineveh is empty.
Everything is stolen.
The city is ruined.
People have lost their courage,
their hearts melt with fear,
their knees knock together,
their bodies shake,
and their faces turn pale.
11 Where is that great city now?
It was like a den where the lions feed their young.
It was a place where people felt safe,
like lions in a cave with no one there to harm them.
12 The lion was able to catch plenty of food
to feed his cubs and his mate.
He filled his cave with the animals he killed.
He filled his den with the meat he gathered.
13 The Lord All-Powerful says,
“I am against you, Nineveh.
I will burn your chariots
and kill your ‘young lions’ in battle.
You will not hunt anyone on earth again.
People will never again hear bad news
from your messengers.”
Nahum 2
New International Version
Nineveh to Fall
2 [a]An attacker(A) advances against you, Nineveh.
Guard the fortress,
watch the road,
brace yourselves,
marshal all your strength!
2 The Lord will restore(B) the splendor(C) of Jacob
like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
and have ruined their vines.
3 The shields of the soldiers are red;
the warriors are clad in scarlet.(D)
The metal on the chariots flashes
on the day they are made ready;
the spears of juniper are brandished.[b]
4 The chariots(E) storm through the streets,
rushing back and forth through the squares.
They look like flaming torches;
they dart about like lightning.
5 Nineveh summons her picked troops,
yet they stumble(F) on their way.
They dash to the city wall;
the protective shield is put in place.
6 The river gates(G) are thrown open
and the palace collapses.
7 It is decreed[c] that Nineveh
be exiled and carried away.
Her female slaves moan(H) like doves
and beat on their breasts.(I)
8 Nineveh is like a pool
whose water is draining away.
“Stop! Stop!” they cry,
but no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the gold!
The supply is endless,
the wealth from all its treasures!
10 She is pillaged, plundered, stripped!
Hearts melt,(J) knees give way,
bodies tremble, every face grows pale.(K)
Nahum 2
King James Version
2 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 For the Lord hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
