Ὦ πόλις αἱμάτων, ὅλη ψευδής, ἀδικίας πλήρης, οὐ ψηλαφηθῇσεται θήρα.

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

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 ἀπὸ πλήθους πορνείας.

πόρνη καλὴ καὶ ἐπιχαρής, ἡγουμένη φαρμάκων, ἡ πωλοῦσα ἔθνη ἐν τῇ πορνείᾳ αὐτῆς καὶ λαοὺς ἐν τοῖς φαρμάκοις αὐτῆς.

ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐπὶ σέ, λέγει Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ, καὶ ἀποκαλύψω τὰ ὀπίσω σου ἐπὶ τὸ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ δείξω ἔθνεσιν τὴν αἰσχύνην ¹³ σου καὶ βασιλείαις τὴν ἀτιμίαν σου·

καὶ ἐπιρίψω ἐπὶ σέ βδελυγμὸν κατὰ τὰς ἀκαθαρσίας σου, καὶ θήσομαί σε εἰς παράδειγμα·

καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὁ ὁρῶν σε καταβήσεται ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ ἐρεῖ Δειλαία Νινευή· τίς στενάξει αὐτήν ; πόθεν ζητήσω παράκλησιν αὐτῇ;

ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα, ἅρμόσοι χορδήν, ἑτοίμασαι μερίδα, Ἄμμων, ἡ κατοικοῦσα ἐν ποταμοῖς· ὕδωρ κύκλῳ αὐτῆς, ἧς ἡ ἀρχὴ θάλασσα καὶ ὕδωρ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς.

καὶ Αἰθιοπία ἰσχὺς αὐτῆς καὶ Aἵγυπτος, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πέρας τῆς φυγῆς, καὶ Λίβυες ἐγένοντο βοηθοὶ αὐτῆς.

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

καὶ σὺ μεθυσθήσῃ καὶ ἔσῃ ὑπερεαωραμένη, καὶ σὺ ζητήσεις σεαυτῇ στάσιν ἐξ ἐχθρῶν.

πάντα τὰ ὐχυρώματά σου συκαῖ σκοποὺς ἔχουσαι· ἐὰν σαλευθῶσιν, πεσοῦνται εἰς στόμα ἕσθοντος.

ἰδοὺ ὁ λαός σου ὡς γυναῖκες ἐν σοί· τοῖς ἐχθροῖς σου ἀνοιγόμεναι ἀνοιχθήσονται πύλαι τῆς γῆς σου, καταφάγεται πῦρ τοὺς μοχλούς σου.

ὕδωρ περιοχῆς ἐπίσπασαι σεαυτῇ, καὶ κατακράτησον τῶν ὀχυρωμάτων σου· ἔμβηθι εἰς πηλὸν καὶ συμπατήθητι ἐν ἀχύροις, κατακράτησον ὑπέρ πλίνθον·

ἐκεῖ καταφάγεταί σε πῦρ, ἐξολεθρεύσει σε ῥομφαία, καταφάγεταί σε ὡς ἀκρίς, καὶ βαρυνθήσει ὡς βροῦχος.

ἐπλήθυνας τὰς ἐμπορίας σου ὑπέρ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· βροῦχος ὥρμησεν καὶ ἐξεπετάσθη.

ἐξήλατο ὡς ἀττέλεβος ὁ συμμικτός σου, ὡς ἀκρὶς ἐπιβεβηκυῖα ἐπὶ φραγμὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ πάγους· ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν, καὶ ἀφήλατο, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ⁴⁵ τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς. οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς.

ἐνύσταξαν οἱ ποιμένες σου, ⁶ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσύριος ἐκοίμισεν τοὺς δυνάστας σου· ἀπῆρεν ὁ λαός σου ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὁ ἐκδεχόμενος.

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;

Ναούμ (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Translations (1)

Nahum Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 3 focus

Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. The prey doesn’t depart.

The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, prancing horses, and bounding chariots,

the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies,

because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft.

Behold, I am against you, says Yahweh of Hosts, and I will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.

I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, and will set you a spectacle.

It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste Who will mourn for her? Where will I seek comforters for you?

Are you better than No-Amon, who was situated among the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was of the sea?

Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya were her helpers.

Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will seek a stronghold because of the enemy.

All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater.

Behold, your troops in your midst are women. The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. The fire has devoured your bars.

Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong.

There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. Multiply like the locust.

You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. The grasshopper strips, and flees away.

Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.

Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no one to gather them.

There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; for who hasn’t felt your endless cruelty?
