1 A scatterer has come up to your face, || Keep the bulwark, watch the way, || Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily.
1 SUBIÓ destruidor contra ti: guarda la fortaleza, mira el camino, fortifica los lomos, fortalece mucho la fuerza.
2 For YHWH has turned back to the excellence of Jacob, || As [to] the excellence of Israel, || For emptiers have emptied them out, || And they have marred their branches.
2 Porque Jehová restituirá la gloria de Jacob como la gloria de Israel; porque vaciadores los vaciaron, y estropearon sus mugrones.
3 The shield of his mighty ones has 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.
3 El escudo de sus valientes será bermejo, los varones de [su] ejército vestidos de grana: el carro como fuego de hachas; el día que se aparejará, temblarán las hayas.
4 In out-places the chariots shine, || They go to and fro in broad places, || Their appearances [are] like torches, || As lightnings they run.
4 Los carros se precipitarán á las plazas, discurrirán por las calles: su aspecto como hachas encendidas; correrán como relámpagos.
5 He remembers his majestic ones, || They stumble in their goings, || They hurry [to] its wall, || And the covering is prepared.
5 Acordaráse él de sus valientes; andando tropezarán; se apresurarán á su muro, y la cubierta se aparejará.
6 Gates of the rivers have been opened, || And the palace is dissolved.
6 Las puertas de los ríos se abrirán, y el palacio será destruído.
7 And it is established—she has removed, || She has been brought up, || And her handmaids are leading as the voice of doves, || Tabering on their hearts.
7 Y la reina fué cautiva; mandarle han que suba, y sus criadas la llevarán gimiendo como palomas, batiendo sus pechos.
8 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, || From of old it [is]—and they are fleeing! “Stand, stand”; and none is turning!
8 Y fué Nínive de tiempo antiguo como estanque de aguas; mas ellos huyen: Parad, parad; y ninguno mira.
9 Seize silver, seize gold, || And there is no end to the prepared things, || [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels.
9 Saquead plata, saquead oro: no hay fin de las riquezas [y] suntuosidad de todo ajuar de codicia.
10 She is empty, indeed, emptiness and waste, || And the heart has melted, || And the knees have struck together, || And great pain [is] in all loins, || And the faces of all of them have gathered paleness.
10 Vacía, y agotada, y despedazada está, y el corazón derretido: batimiento de rodillas, y dolor en todos riñones, y los rostros de todos tomarán negrura.
11 Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place it [is] for young lions || Where a lion has walked, an old lion, || A lion’s whelp, and there is none troubling.
11 ¿Qué es de la morada de los leones, y de la majada de los cachorros de los leones, donde se recogía el león, y la leona, y los cachorros del león, y no había quien les pusiese miedo?
12 The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, || And is strangling for his lionesses, || And he fills his holes [with] prey, || And his habitations [with] torn flesh.
12 El león arrebataba en abundancia para sus cachorros, y ahogaba para sus leonas, y henchía de presa sus cavernas, y de robo sus moradas.
13 “Behold, I [am] against you,” || A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, || “And I have burned its chariot in smoke, || And a sword consumes your young lions, || And I have cut off your prey from the land, || And the voice of your messengers is not heard anymore!”
13 Heme aquí contra ti, dice Jehová de los ejércitos. Encenderé y [reduciré] á humo [tus] carros, y espada devorará tus leoncillos; y raeré de la tierra tu robo, y nunca más se oirá voz de tus embajadores.
