Nahum 2

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 ascendit qui dispergat coram te qui custodit obsidionem contemplare viam conforta lumbos robora virtutem valde

2 quia reddidit Dominus superbiam Iacob sicut superbiam Israhel quia vastatores dissipaverunt eos et propagines eorum corruperunt

3 clypeus fortium eius ignitus viri exercitus in coccineis igneae habenae currus in die praeparationis eius et agitatores consopiti sunt

4 in itineribus conturbati sunt quadrigae conlisae sunt in plateis aspectus eorum quasi lampades quasi fulgura discurrentia

5 recordabitur fortium suorum ruent in itineribus suis velociter ascendent muros eius et praeparabitur umbraculum

6 portae fluviorum apertae sunt et templum ad solum dirutum

7 et miles captivus abductus est et ancillae eius minabantur gementes ut columbae murmurantes in cordibus suis

8 et Nineve quasi piscina aquarum aquae eius ipsi vero fugerunt state state et non est qui revertatur

9 diripite argentum diripite aurum et non est finis divitiarum ex omnibus vasis desiderabilibus

10 dissipata et scissa et dilacerata et cor tabescens et dissolutio geniculorum et defectio in cunctis renibus et facies omnium sicut nigredo ollae

11 ubi est habitaculum leonum et pascua catulorum leonum ad quam ivit leo ut ingrederetur illuc catulus leonis et non est qui exterreat

12 leo cepit sufficienter catulis suis et necavit leaenis suis et implevit praeda speluncas suas et cubile suum rapina

13 ecce ego ad te dicit Dominus exercituum et succendam usque ad fumum quadrigas eius et leunculos tuos comedet gladius et exterminabo de terra praedam tuam et non audietur ultra vox nuntiorum tuorum

English Standard Version ESV

1 The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength.

2 For the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob as the majesty of Israel, for plunderers have plundered them and ruined their branches.

3 The shield of his mighty men is red; his soldiers are clothed in scarlet. The chariots come with flashing metal on the day he musters them; the cypress spears are brandished.

4 The chariots race madly through the streets; they rush to and fro through the squares; they gleam like torches; they dart like lightning.

5 He remembers his officers; they stumble as they go, they hasten to the wall; the siege tower is set up.

6 The river gates are opened; the palace melts away;

7 its mistress is stripped; she is carried off, her slave girls lamenting, moaning like doves and beating their breasts.

8 Nineveh is like a pool whose waters run away. “Halt! Halt! ” they cry, but none turns back.

9 Plunder the silver, plunder the gold! There is no end of the treasure or of the wealth of all precious things.

10 Desolate! Desolation and ruin! Hearts melt and knees tremble; anguish is in all loins; all faces grow pale!

11 Where is the lions’ den, the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion and lioness went, where his cubs were, with none to disturb?

12 The lion tore enough for his cubs and strangled prey for his lionesses; he filled his caves with prey and his dens with torn flesh.

13 Behold, I am against you, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will burn your chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
