Nahum 2

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SAGRADA BIBLIA
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 Um destruidor avança contra ti: guarda a fortaleza vigia o caminho, fortifica os teus rins, reúne todo o teu vigor,
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 porque o Senhor restaura o esplendor de Jacó, assim como o esplendor de Israel, depois que os saqueadores despojaram e destruíram seus sarmentos.
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 Os combatentes trazem escudo vermelho, os guerreiros estão vestidos de púrpura, os carros de aço cintilantes avançam no dia em que são postos em linha; e são brandidas as lanças.
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 Os carros se precipitam pelas ruas, saltando através das praças. Ao vê-los, dir-se-ia serem tochas ardentes; correm como relâmpagos.
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 Ele se lembra de seus guerreiros valentes, mas estes tropeçam em sua marcha. Precipitam-se para a muralha e preparam o teto protetor.
6 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down to the ground.	6 As portas dos rios são abertas, o palácio cai arruinado.
7 And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts.	7 Ela é desnudada e deportada; suas servas gemem como pombas, e batem no peito.
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 Nínive é semelhante a um tanque desde a sua origem. Eles fogem. Parai! Parai! Mas ninguém volta para trás.
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 Saqueai a prata, saqueai o ouro, porque há inumeráveis tesouros e montes de objetos preciosos.
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 Roubo, pilhagem, devastação! O coração desfalece; os joelhos tremem, a dor oprime todos os rins, todos os rostos estão lívidos.
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 Onde está agora o retiro dos leões, o pasto dos leõezinhos, onde se recolhiam o leão, a leoa e os leõezinhos, sem haver quem os inquietasse?
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 O leão despedaçava para os seus pequenos, e estrangulava para as suas leoas; enchia de presas os seus antros, e de despojos as suas cavernas,
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 Eis que venho agora contra ti - oráculo do Senhor dos exércitos -; vou incendiar teus carros e reduzi-los a fumaça, a espada vai devorar os teus leõezinhos; porei fim às tuas rapinas na terra, não se ouvirá mais a voz dos teus mensageiros.
