Nahum 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	LXX
1 He is come up that shall destroy before thy face, that shall keep the siege: watch the way, fortify thy loins, strengthen thy power exceedingly.	1 ιδου επι τα ορη οι ποδες ευαγγελιζομενου και απαγγελλοντος ειρηνην εορταζε ιουδα τας εορτας σου αποδος τας ευχας σου διοτι ου μη προσθησωσιν ετι του διελθειν δια σου εις παλαιωσιν συντετελεσται εξηρται
2 For the Lord hath rendered the pride of Jacob, as the pride of Israel: because the spoilers have laid them waste, and have marred their vine branches.	2 ανεβη εμφυσων εις προσωπον σου εξαιρουμενος εκ θλιψεως σκοπευσον οδον κρατησον οσφυος ανδρισαι τη ισχυι σφοδρα
3 The shield of his mighty men is like fire, the men of the army are clad in scarlet, the reins of the chariot are flaming in the day of his preparation, and the drivers are stupefied.	3 διοτι απεστρεψεν κυριος την υβριν ιακωβ καθως υβριν του ισραηλ διοτι εκτινασσοντες εξετιναξαν αυτους και τα κληματα αυτων διεφθειραν
4 They are in confusion in the ways, the chariots jostle one against another in the streets: their looks are like torches, like lightning running to and fro.	4 οπλα δυναστειας αυτων εξ ανθρωπων ανδρας δυνατους εμπαιζοντας εν πυρι αι ηνιαι των αρματων αυτων εν ημερα ετοιμασιας αυτου και οι ιππεις θορυβηθησονται
5 He will muster up his valiant men, they shall stumble in their march: they shall quickly get upon the walls thereof: and a covering shall be prepared.	5 εν ταις οδοις και συγχυθησονται τα αρματα και συμπλακησονται εν ταις πλατειαις η ορασις αυτων ως λαμπαδες πυρος και ως αστραπαι διατρεχουσαι
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down to the ground.	6 και μνησθησονται οι μεγιστανες αυτων και φευξονται ημερας και ασθενησουσιν εν τη πορεια αυτων και σπευσουσιν επι τα τειχη και ετοιμασουσιν τας προφυλακας αυτων
7 And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts.	7 πυλαι των ποταμων διηνοιχθησαν και τα βασιλεια διεπεσεν
8 And as for Ninive, her waters are like a great pool, but the men flee away. They cry: Stand, stand, but there is none that will return back.	8 και η υποστασις απεκαλυφθη και αυτη ανεβαινεν και αι δουλαι αυτης ηγοντο καθως περιστεραι φθεγγομεναι εν καρδιαις αυτων
9 Take ye the spoil of the silver, take the spoil of the gold: for there is no end of the riches of all the precious furniture.	9 και νινευη ως κολυμβηθρα υδατος τα υδατα αυτης και αυτοι φευγοντες ουκ εστησαν και ουκ ην ο επιβλεπων
10 She is destroyed, and rent, and torn: the heart melteth, and the knees fail, and all the loins lose their strength: and the faces of them all are as the blackness of a kettle.	10 διηρπαζον το αργυριον διηρπαζον το χρυσιον και ουκ ην περας του κοσμου αυτης βεβαρυνται υπερ παντα τα σκευη τα επιθυμητα αυτης
11 Where is now the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, to which the lion went, to enter in thither, the young lion, and there was none to make them afraid?	11 εκτιναγμος και ανατιναγμος και εκβρασμος και καρδιας θραυσμος και υπολυσις γονατων και ωδινες επι πασαν οσφυν και το προσωπον παντων ως προσκαυμα χυτρας
12 The lion caught enough for his whelps, and killed for his lionesses: and he filled his holes with prey, and his den with rapine.	12 που εστιν το κατοικητηριον των λεοντων και η νομη η ουσα τοις σκυμνοις ου επορευθη λεων του εισελθειν εκει σκυμνος λεοντος και ουκ ην ο εκφοβων
13 Behold I come against thee, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn thy chariots even to smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey out of the land, and the voice of thy messengers shall be heard no more.	13 λεων ηρπασεν τα ικανα τοις σκυμνοις αυτου και απεπνιξεν τοις λεουσιν αυτου και επλησεν θηρας νοσσιαν αυτου και το κατοικητηριον αυτου αρπαγης
	14 ιδου εγω επι σε λεγει κυριος παντοκρατωρ και εκκαυσω εν καπνω πληθος σου και τους λεοντας σου καταφαγεται ρομφαια και εξολεθρευσω εκ της γης την θηραν σου και ου μη ακουσθη ουκετι τα εργα σου
