| Nahum 2:1 | Come up hath a scatterer to thy face, Keep the bulwark, watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily. | 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. | A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased. |
| Nahum 2:2 | For turned back hath Jehovah to the excellency of Jacob, As [to] the excellency of Israel, For emptied them out have emptiers, And their branches they have marred. | 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. | For the Lord will make good the vine of Jacob, as well as the vine of Israel: for the wasters have made them waste and sent destruction on the branches of their vine. |
| Nahum 2:3 | The shield of his mighty ones is become red, Men of might [are in] scarlet, With fiery torches [is] the chariot in a day of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble. | 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. | The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking. |
| Nahum 2:4 | In out-places shine do the chariots, They go to and fro in broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As lightnings they run. | 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. | The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames. |
| Nahum 2:5 | He doth remember his honourable ones, They stumble in their goings, They hasten [to] its wall, and prepared is the covering. | 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. | He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready. |
| Nahum 2:6 | Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is dissolved. | The gates of the rivers are opened, and the temple is thrown down to the ground. | The river doorways are forced open, and the king's house is flowing away. |
| Nahum 2:7 | And it is established she hath removed, She hath been brought up, And her handmaids are leading as the voice of doves, Tabering on their hearts. | And the soldier is led away captive: and her bondwomen were led away mourning as doves, murmuring in their hearts. | And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts. |
| Nahum 2:8 | And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is] and they are fleeing! `Stand ye, stand;` and none is turning! | 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. | But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back. |
| Nahum 2:9 | Seize ye silver, seize ye gold, And there is no end to the prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels. | 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. | Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired. |
| Nahum 2:10 | She is empty, yea, emptiness and waste, And the heart hath melted, And the knees have smitten together, And great pain [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness. | 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. | Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces. |
| Nahum 2:11 | Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions Where walked hath a lion, an old lion, A lion`s whelp, and there is none troubling. | 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? | Where is the lions' hole, the place where the young lions got their food, where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young, without cause for fear? |
| Nahum 2:12 | The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, And is strangling for his lionesses, And he doth fill [with] prey his holes, And his habitations [with] rapine. | The lion caught enough for his whelps, and killed for his lionesses: and he filled his holes with prey, and his den with rapine. | Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat. |
| Nahum 2:13 | Lo, I [am] against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have burned in smoke its chariot, And thy young lions consume doth a sword, And I have cut off from the land thy prey, And not heard any more is the voice of thy messengers! | 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. | See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever. |
