Nahum 3

KJV

1  Woe1945 to the bloody1818 city!5892 it is all3605 full4392 of lies3585 and robbery;6563 the prey2964 departeth4185 not;3808

2  The noise6963 of a whip,7752 and the noise6963 of the rattling7494 of the wheels,212 and of the prancing1725 horses,5483 and of the jumping7540 chariots.4818

3  The horseman6571 lifteth up5927 both the bright3851 sword2719 and the glittering1300 spear:2595 and there is a multitude7230 of slain,2491 and a great number3514 of carcasses;6297 and there is none369 end7097 of their corpses;1472 they stumble3782 upon their corpses:1472

4  Because of the multitude4480 7230 of the whoredoms2183 of the well favored2896 2580 harlot,2181 the mistress1172 of witchcrafts,3785 that selleth4376 nations1471 through her whoredoms,2183 and families4940 through her witchcrafts.3785

5  Behold,2009 I am against413 thee, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 and I will discover1540 thy skirts7757 upon5921 thy face,6440 and I will show7200 the nations1471 thy nakedness,4626 and the kingdoms4467 thy shame.7036

6  And I will cast7993 abominable filth8251 upon5921 thee, and make thee vile,5034 and will set7760 thee as a gazingstock.7210

7  And it shall come to pass,1961 that all3605 they that look upon7200 thee shall flee5074 from4480 thee, and say,559 Nineveh5210 is laid waste:7703 who4310 will bemoan5110 her? whence4480 370 shall I seek1245 comforters5162 for thee?

8  Art thou better3190 than populous528 No,4480 4996 that was situate3427 among the rivers,2975 that had the waters4325 round about5439 it, whose834 rampart2426 was the sea,3220 and her wall2346 was from the sea?4480 3220

9  Ethiopia3568 and Egypt4714 were her strength,6109 and it was infinite;369 7097 Put6316 and Lubim3864 were1961 thy helpers.5833

10  Yet1571 was she1931 carried away,1473 she went1980 into captivity:7628 her young children5768 also1571 were dashed in pieces7376 at the top7218 of all3605 the streets:2351 and they cast3032 lots1486 for5921 her honorable men,3513 and all3605 her great men1419 were bound7576 in chains.2131

11  Thou859 also1571 shalt be drunken:7937 thou shalt be1961 hid,5956 thou859 also1571 shalt seek1245 strength4581 because of the enemy.4480 341

12  All3605 thy strongholds4013 shall be like fig trees8384 with5973 the firstripe figs:1061 if518 they be shaken,5128 they shall even fall5307 into5921 the mouth6310 of the eater.398

13  Behold,2009 thy people5971 in the midst7130 of thee are women:802 the gates8179 of thy land776 shall be set wide open6605 6605 unto thine enemies:341 the fire784 shall devour398 thy bars.1280

14  Draw7579 thee waters4325 for the siege,4692 fortify2388 thy strongholds:4013 go935 into clay,2916 and tread7429 the mortar,2563 make strong2388 the brickkiln.4404

15  There8033 shall the fire784 devour398 thee; the sword2719 shall cut thee off,3772 it shall eat thee up398 like the cankerworm:3218 make thyself many3513 as the cankerworm,3218 make thyself many3513 as the locusts.697

16  Thou hast multiplied7235 thy merchants7402 above the stars4480 3556 of heaven:8064 the cankerworm3218 spoileth,6584 and flieth away.5774

17  Thy crowned4502 are as the locusts,697 and thy captains2951 as the great grasshoppers,1462 1462 which camp2583 in the hedges1448 in the cold7135 day,3117 but when the sun8121 ariseth2224 they flee away,5074 and their place4725 is not known3045 3808 where335 they are.

18  Thy shepherds7462 slumber,5123 O king4428 of Assyria:804 thy nobles117 shall dwell7931 in the dust: thy people5971 is scattered6335 upon5921 the mountains,2022 and no man369 gathereth6908 them.

19  There is no369 healing3545 of thy bruise;7667 thy wound4347 is grievous:2470 all3605 that hear8085 the bruit8088 of thee shall clap8628 the hands3709 over5921 thee: for3588 upon5921 whom4310 hath not3808 thy wickedness7451 passed5674 continually?8548

1 ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων ὅλη ψευδὴς ἀδικίας πλήρης οὐ ψηλαφηθήσεται θήρα

2 φωνὴ μαστίγων καὶ φωνὴ σεισμοῦ τροχῶν καὶ ἵππου διώκοντος καὶ ἅρματος ἀναβράσσοντος

3 καὶ ἱππέως ἀναβαίνοντος καὶ στιλβούσης ῥομφαίας καὶ ἐξαστραπτόντων ὅπλων καὶ πλήθους τραυματιῶν καὶ βαρείας πτώσεως καὶ οὐκ ἦν πέρας τοῖς ἔθνεσιν αὐτῆς καὶ ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν τοῖς σώμασιν αὐτῶν

4 ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας πόρνη καλὴ καὶ ἐπιχαρὴς ἡγουμένη φαρμάκων ἡ πωλοῦσα ἔθνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς καὶ φυλὰς ἐν τοῖς φαρμάκοις αὐτῆς

5 ἰδοῦ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου καὶ δείξω ἔθνεσιν τὴν αἰσχύνην σου καὶ βασιλείαις τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου

6 καὶ ἐπιρρίψω ἐπὶ σὲ βδελυγμὸν κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας σου καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς παράδειγμα

7 καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε ἀποπηδήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐρεῖ Δειλαία Νινευη τίς στενάξει αὐτήν πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ

8 ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα ἅρμοσαι χορδήν ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα Αμων ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς

9 καὶ Αἰθιοπία ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς καὶ Αἴγυπτος καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πέρας τῆς φυγῆς καὶ Λίβυες ἐγένοντο βοηθοὶ αὐτῆς

10 καὶ αὐτὴ εἰς μετοικεσίαν πορεύσεται αἰχμάλωτος καὶ τὰ νήπια αὐτῆς ἐδαφιοῦσιν ἐπ᾽ ἀρχὰς πασῶν τῶν ὁδῶν αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔνδοξα αὐτῆς βαλοῦσιν κλήρους καὶ πάντες οἱ μεγιστᾶνες αὐτῆς δεθήσονται χειροπέδαις

11 καὶ σὺ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἔσῃ ὑπερεωραμένη καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῇ στάσιν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν

12 πάντα τὰ ὀχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι ἐὰν σαλευθῶσιν καὶ πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἔσθοντος

13 ἰδοὺ ὁ λαός σου ὡς γυναῖκες ἐν σοί τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἀνοιγόμεναι ἀνοιχθήσονται πύλαι τῆς γῆς σου καὶ καταφάγεται πῦρ τοὺς μοχλούς σου

14 ὕδωρ περιοχῆς ἐπίσπασαι σεαυτῇ καὶ κατακράτησον τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων σου ἔμβηθι εἰς πηλὸν καὶ συμπατήθητι ἐν ἀχύροις κατακράτησον ὑπὲρ πλίνθον

15 ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ ἐξολεθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρίς καὶ βαρυνθήσῃ ὡς βροῦχος

16 ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἐμπορίας σου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ βροῦχος ὥρμησεν καὶ ἐξεπετάσθη

17 ἐξήλατο ὡς ἀττέλεβος ὁ σύμμικτός σου ὡς ἀκρὶς ἐπιβεβηκυῖα ἐπὶ φραγμὸν ἐν ἡμέραις πάγους ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν καὶ ἀφήλατο καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς

18 ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ποιμένες σου βασιλεὺς Ἀσσύριος ἐκοίμισεν τοὺς δυνάστας σου ἀπῆρεν ὁ λαός σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκδεχόμενος

19 οὐκ ἔστιν ἴασις τῇ συντριβῇ σου ἐφλέγμανεν ἡ πληγή σου πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες τὴν ἀγγελίαν σου κροτήσουσιν χεῖρας ἐπὶ σέ διότι ἐπὶ τίνα οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἡ κακία σου διὰ παντός

1 [Væ civitas sanguinum,
universa mendacii dilaceratione plena!
non recedet a te rapina.

2 Vox flagelli, et vox impetus rotæ, et equi frementis,
et quadrigæ ferventis, et equitis ascendentis,

3 et micantis gladii, et fulgurantis hastæ,
et multitudinis interfectæ, et gravis ruinæ;
nec est finis cadaverum,
et corruent in corporibus suis.

4 Propter multitudinem fornicationum meretricis
speciosæ, et gratæ, et habentis maleficia,
quæ vendidit gentes in fornicationibus suis,
et familias in maleficiis suis.

5 Ecce ego ad te, dicit Dominus exercituum,
et revelabo pudenda tua in facie tua;
et ostendam gentibus nuditatem tuam,
et regnis ignominiam tuam.

6 Et projiciam super te abominationes,
et contumeliis te afficiam,
et ponam te in exemplum.

7 Et erit: omnis qui viderit te resiliet a te,
et dicet: Vastata est Ninive.
Quis commovebit super te caput?
unde quæram consolatorem tibi?

8 Numquid melior es Alexandria populorum,
quæ habitat in fluminibus?
aquæ in circuitu ejus;
cujus divitiæ, mare;
aquæ, muri ejus.

9 Æthiopia fortitudo ejus, et Ægyptus, et non est finis;
Africa et Libyes fuerunt in auxilio tuo.

10 Sed et ipsa in transmigrationem ducta est in captivitatem:
parvuli ejus elisi sunt in capite omnium viarum,
et super inclytos ejus miserunt sortem,
et omnes optimates ejus confixi sunt in compedibus.

11 Et tu ergo inebriaberis, et eris despecta:
et tu quæres auxilium ab inimico.

12 Omnes munitiones tuæ sicut ficus cum grossis suis:
si concussæ fuerint, cadent in os comedentis.

13 Ecce populus tuus mulieres in medio tui:
inimicis tuis adapertione pandentur portæ terræ tuæ,
devorabit ignis vectes tuos.

14 Aquam propter obsidionem hauri tibi:
exstrue munitiones tuas,
intra in lutum, et calca,
subigens tene laterem.

15 Ibi comedet te ignis,
peribis gladio, devorabit te ut bruchus:
congregare ut bruchus,
multiplicare ut locusta.

16 Plures fecisti negotiationes tuas quam stellæ sint cæli;
bruchus expansus est, et avolavit.

17 Custodes tui quasi locustæ,
et parvuli tui quasi locustæ locustarum,
quæ considunt in sepibus in die frigoris:
sol ortus est, et avolaverunt,
et non est cognitus locus earum ubi fuerint.

18 Dormitaverunt pastores tui, rex Assur,
sepelientur principes tui:
latitavit populus tuus in montibus,
et non est qui congreget.

19 Non est obscura contritio tua;
pessima est plaga tua.
Omnes qui audierunt auditionem tuam compresserunt manum super te:
quia super quem non transiit malitia tua semper?]
