Nahum 那鸿书03
1Woe to the city of blood, full of lies, full of plunder 1, never without victims!
2The crack of whips, the clatter 2 of wheels, galloping 3 horses and jolting 4 chariots!
3Charging cavalry 5, flashing swords and glittering spears! Many casualties, piles of dead, bodies without number, people stumbling over the corpses-
4all because of the wanton lust 6 of a harlot, alluring 7, the mistress of sorceries, who enslaved nations by her prostitution and peoples by her witchcraft 8.
5"I am against you," declares the Lord Almighty 9. "I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness and the kingdoms your shame.
6I will pelt 10 you with filth 11, I will treat you with contempt and make you a spectacle.
7All who see you will flee from you and say, 'Nineveh is in ruins-who will mourn for her?' Where can I find anyone to comfort you?"
8Are you better than Thebes, situated 12 on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense 13, the waters her wall.
9Cush and Egypt were her boundless 14 strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.
10Yet she was taken captive and went into exile. Her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street. Lots were cast for her nobles, and all her great men were put in chains.
11You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.
12All your fortresses 15 are like fig 16 trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs 17 fall into the mouth of the eater.
13Look at your troops- they are all women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed their bars.
14Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar 18, repair the brickwork!
15There the fire will devour 19 you; the sword will cut you down and, like grasshoppers 20, consume you. Multiply like grasshoppers, multiply like locusts 21!
16You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more than the stars of the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away.
17Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms 22 of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day- but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where.
18O king of Assyria, your shepherds slumber 23; your nobles lie down to rest. Your people are scattered 24 on the mountains with no one to gather them.
19Nothing can heal your wound; your injury is fatal. Everyone who hears the news about you claps his hands at your fall, for who has not felt your endless cruelty?
