Nahúm 2
Bíblia Livre
1O despedaçador está subindo contra ti; guarda a fortaleza, olha para o caminho, prepara os lombos, junta o poder de tuas forças.
2Porque o SENHOR restituirá a glória de Jacó, como a glória de Israel, ainda que saqueadores tenham os saqueado, e destruído os seus ramos de videira.
3Os escudos de seus guerreiros são vermelhos, os homens valentes andam vestidos de escarlate; as carruagens brilham no dia em que são preparadas, as lanças se sacodem.
4As carruagens se movem furiosamente pelas ruas, percorrem as vias; sua aparência é como tochas, correm como relâmpagos.
5Seus nobres são convocados, porém tropeçam enquanto marcham; eles se apressam ao seu muro, e a proteção é preparada.
6As comportas dos rios são abertas, e o palácio é arruinado.
7Está decretado: ela será levada cativa, e suas criadas a acompanharão com voz de pombas, batendo seus peitos.
8Nínive é como um antigo tanque, cujas águas estão fugindo. Dizem : Parai, parai; porém ninguém sequer olha para trás.
9Saqueai prata, saqueai ouro; não há fim das riquezas e do luxo, de todo tipo de objetos valiosos.
10Ela está esvaziada, devastada e arruinada; os corações desmaiam, os joelhos tremem, os lombos doem, e os rostos deles todos ficam abatidos.
11Onde está a morada dos leões, e o lugar onde os leões jovens se alimentavam, onde o leão, a leoa, e os filhotes de leão passeavam, e não havia quem os espantasse?
12O leão caçava o suficiente para seus filhotes, e estrangulava para as suas leoas, e enchia suas cavernas de presa, e suas moradas de coisas capturadas.
13Eis que eu sou contra ti,diz o SENHOR dos exércitos. Queimarei as tuas carruagens em fumaça, e espada consumirá teus jovens leões; exterminarei a tua presa da terra, e nunca mais a voz de teus mensageiros será ouvida.
Reina-Valera 1909
1SUBIÓ destruidor contra ti: guarda la fortaleza, mira el camino, fortifica los lomos, fortalece mucho la fuerza.
2Porque Jehová restituirá la gloria de Jacob como la gloria de Israel; porque vaciadores los vaciaron, y estropearon sus mugrones.
3El escudo de sus valientes será bermejo, los varones de su ejército vestidos de grana: el carro como fuego de hachas; el día que se aparejará, temblarán las hayas.
4Los carros se precipitarán á las plazas, discurrirán por las calles: su aspecto como hachas encendidas; correrán como relámpagos.
5Acordaráse él de sus valientes; andando tropezarán; se apresurarán á su muro, y la cubierta se aparejará.
6Las puertas de los ríos se abrirán, y el palacio será destruído.
7Y la reina fué cautiva; mandarle han que suba, y sus criadas la llevarán gimiendo como palomas, batiendo sus pechos.
8Y fué Nínive de tiempo antiguo como estanque de aguas; mas ellos huyen: Parad, parad; y ninguno mira.
9Saquead plata, saquead oro: no hay fin de las riquezas y suntuosidad de todo ajuar de codicia.
10Vacía, y agotada, y despedazada está, y el corazón derretido: batimiento de rodillas, y dolor en todos riñones, y los rostros de todos tomarán negrura.
11¿Qué es de la morada de los leones, y de la majada de los cachorros de los leones, donde se recogía el león, y la leona, y los cachorros del león, y no había quien les pusiese miedo?
12El león arrebataba en abundancia para sus cachorros, y ahogaba para sus leonas, y henchía de presa sus cavernas, y de robo sus moradas.
13Heme aquí contra ti, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Encenderé y reduciré á humo tus carros, y espada devorará tus leoncillos; y raeré de la tierra tu robo, y nunca más se oirá voz de tus embajadores.
King James Version
1He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2For 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.
3The 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.
4The 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.
5He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
6The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7And 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.
8But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
9Take 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.
10She 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.
11Where 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?
12The 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.
13Behold, 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.
World English Bible
1He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!
2For the LORD restores the excellency of Jacob as the excellency of Israel, for the destroyers have destroyed them and ruined their vine branches.
3The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished.
4The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth in the wide ways. Their appearance is like torches. They run like the lightnings.
5He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place.
6The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
7It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her servants moan as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
8But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they flee away. “Stop! Stop!” they cry, but no one looks back.
9Take the plunder of silver. Take the plunder of gold, for there is no end of treasure, an abundance of every precious thing.
10She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale.
11Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked with the lion’s cubs, and no one made them afraid?
12The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled prey for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill and his dens with prey.
13“Behold, I am against you,” says the LORD of Armies, “and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard.”
