Nahúm 3

Malheur à la ville de sang, qui n'est que fraude, pleine de violence, qui ne cesse pas ses rapines !

¡AY de la ciudad de sangres, toda llena de mentira y de rapiña, sin apartarse de ella el pillaje!

Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery—no end to the prey.

On entend les fouets, on entend le fracas des roues ; les chevaux galopent, les chars bondissent.

Sonido de látigo, y estruendo de movimiento de ruedas; y caballo atropellador, y carro saltador;

The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.

The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,

Les cavaliers s'élancent, l'épée brille, la lance étincelle. Une multitude de blessés..., une masse de morts, une infinité de cadavres... On trébuche sur les cadavres.

Caballero enhiesto, y resplandor de espada, y resplandor de lanza; y multitud de muertos, y multitud de cadáveres; y de sus cadáveres no habrá fin, y en sus cadáveres tropezarán:

The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:

the horseman charging, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies

C'est à cause de la multitude des prostitutions de la prostituée pleine d'attraits, de cette magicienne qui vendait les nations par ses prostitutions, et les peuples par ses enchantements.

A causa de la multitud de las fornicaciones de la ramera de hermosa gala, maestra de brujerías, que vende las gentes con sus fornicaciones, y los pueblos con sus hechizos.

A toi maintenant, dit l'Eternel des armées ! Je vais relever les pans de ta robe sur ta face et je montrerai aux nations ta nudité et aux royaumes ta honte.

Heme aquí contra ti, dice Jehová de los ejércitos, y descubriré tus faldas en tu cara, y mostraré á las gentes tu desnudez, y á los reinos tu vergüenza.

Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

Y echaré sobre ti suciedades, y te afrentaré, y te pondré como estiércol.

Quiconque te verra, fuira loin de toi et dira : Ninive est détruite ! Qui la plaindra ? Où te chercherai-je des consolateurs ?

Y será que todos los que te vieren, se apartarán de ti, y dirán: Nínive es asolada: ¿quién se compadecerá de ella? ¿dónde te buscaré consoladores?

And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?

It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, ‘Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?’ Where will I seek comforters for you?”

Vaudrais-tu mieux que No-Amon, qui était assise au milieu des fleuves, que les eaux environnaient, qui était une forteresse des mers, dont la mer était la muraille ?

¿Eres tú mejor que No-amón, que estaba asentada entre ríos, cercada de aguas, cuyo baluarte era la mar, y del mar su muralla?

Elle aussi est allée en exil, captive ; ses petits enfants aussi étaient écrasés à l'angle de toutes les rues ; on jetait le sort sur ses hommes les plus honorés et tous ses grands ont été chargés de fers.

También ella fué llevada en cautiverio: también sus chiquitos fueron estrellados en las encrucijadas de todas las calles; y sobre sus varones echaron suertes, y todos sus magnates fueron aprisionados con grillos.

Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

Fais ta provision d'eau pour le siège ! Arme tes forts, vas à l'argile ! foule la terre glaise, met en état le four à briques.

Tes princes sont comme la sauterelle, et tes chefs comme de jeunes sauterelles amoncelées ; elles se posent sur les murs en un jour froid ; le soleil se lève, elle fuient et l'on ne connaît plus leur lieu ; où sont-elles ?

Tus príncipes serán como langostas, y tus grandes como langostas de langostas que se sientan en vallados en día de frío: salido el sol se mudan, y no se conoce el lugar donde estuvieron.

Tes pasteurs sont endormis, roi d'Assyrie ! Tes hommes forts sont gisants, ton peuple est dispersé sur les montagnes, et il n'y a personne qui les rassemble.

Ta fracture est sans remède, ta plaie mauvaise. Tous ceux à qui arrivera le bruit de ton sort battront des mains à ton sujet. Car sur qui n'a pas passé ta malice continuellement ?

No hay cura para tu quebradura; tu herida se encrudeció: todos los que oyeron tu fama, batirán las manos sobre ti, porque ¿sobre quién no pasó continuamente tu malicia?
