Nahum 2
New American Standard Bible 1995
The Overthrow of Nineveh
2 [a]The one who (A)scatters has come up against [b]you.
Man the fortress, watch the road;
[c]Strengthen your back, [d]summon all your strength.
2 For the Lord will restore the (B)splendor of Jacob
(C)Like the splendor of Israel,
Even though devastators have devastated them
And (D)destroyed their vine branches.
3 The shields of [e]his mighty men are colored red,
The warriors are dressed in (E)scarlet,
The chariots are enveloped in [f]flashing steel
[g]When he is prepared to march,
And the cypress (F)spears are brandished.
4 The (G)chariots race madly in the streets,
They rush wildly in the [h]squares,
Their appearance is like torches,
They dash to and fro like lightning flashes.
5 He remembers his (H)nobles;
They (I)stumble in their march,
They hurry to her wall,
And the [i]mantelet is set up.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened
And the palace is dissolved.
7 It is fixed:
She is stripped, she is carried away,
And her handmaids are (J)moaning like the sound of doves,
(K)Beating on their [j]breasts.
8 Though Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days,
Now they are fleeing;
“Stop, stop,”
But (L)no one turns back.
9 Plunder the silver!
Plunder the (M)gold!
For there is no limit to the treasure—
Wealth from every kind of desirable object.
10 She is (N)emptied! Yes, she is desolate and waste!
(O)Hearts are melting and knees knocking!
Also anguish is in [k]the whole body
And all their (P)faces are grown pale!
11 Where is the den of the lions
And the feeding place of the (Q)young lions,
Where the lion, lioness and lion’s cub prowled,
With nothing to disturb them?
12 The lion tore enough for his cubs,
[l]Killed enough for his lionesses,
And filled his lairs with prey
And his dens with torn flesh.
13 “Behold, (R)I am against you,” declares the Lord of hosts. “I will (S)burn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will (T)cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard.”

審判尼尼微
2 尼尼微啊！
那分散邦國的必上來攻擊你，
你要固守堡壘，
嚴防要道，束緊你的腰，
大大增強你的力量。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為2:2）
2 然而，耶和華必恢復雅各的光榮，
好像以色列的光榮一樣；
因為劫掠的人曾把他們劫掠一空，
又把他們的葡萄枝子毀壞了。
圍攻尼尼微
3 他勇士的盾牌是紅的，
戰士的衣服是朱紅的。
在他預備出擊的時候，
戰車的鋼鐵閃爍如火，
騎兵（本句希伯來原文意思不大清楚，“騎兵”在《馬索拉文本》作“香柏木”，現參照《七十士譯本》和其他古譯本及古抄本翻譯）疾馳。
4 戰車在街上狂奔，
在廣場上東奔西馳；
它們看起來像火把，
跑起來像閃電。
5 亞述王召集他的權臣，
他們跌跌撞撞而來，
急急忙忙走上城牆，
豎起了防禦的擋牌。
6 河閘都被打開，
宮殿也給摧毀了。
7 王后赤身被擄去；
她的宮女都哀哭，
聲如鴿子，
各人搥胸痛哭。
尼尼微被劫掠
8 自古以來，尼尼微一直都像個聚水的池，
但現在居民卻不斷潰逃（全句或參照《七十士譯本》作“尼尼微像個水池，她的水不斷流出”）；
雖然有人呼叫：“止住！止住！”
卻沒有回轉的。
9 你們劫掠銀子，搶奪金子吧！
積蓄的財寶無窮無盡，
珍貴的器皿不可勝數。
10 現在卻空虛、荒涼，一無所有；
人心驚惶，兩膝發抖，
全身疼痛，
面無血色。
尼尼微被毀滅
11 獅子的洞穴在哪裡？
餵養幼獅的地方在哪裡？
公獅、母獅和幼獅不受驚嚇之處，可以閒遊的地方又在哪裡呢？
12 公獅為幼獅撕碎足夠的食物，
為母獅掐死活物；
把獵物塞滿了牠的洞，
把撕碎的填滿了牠的穴。
13 萬軍之耶和華說：
看哪！我必攻擊你，
我要把你的（按照《馬索拉文本》，“你的”作“她的”；現參照其他古譯本翻譯）戰車焚燒成煙，
刀劍必吞滅你的幼獅；
我必從地上除去你的獵物，
你使者的聲音也必不再有人聽見。

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.

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)
