King James Version
AFR DVK
1
He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make [thy] loins strong, fortify [thy] power mightily.
Hy wat verstrooi, is teen jou opgetrek: bewaar die vesting, let op die pad, versterk jou lendene, versterk jou mag uitermate.
2
For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
Want die HERE het die uitnemendheid van Jakob teruggebring soos die uitnemendheid van Israel: want die leëgmakers het hulle leeggemaak, en hulle wingerdtakke vernietig.
3
The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men [are] in scarlet: the chariots [shall be] with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
Die skild van sy magtiges is rooi gemaak, die dapper manne is in skarlaken: die strydwaens sal met vlammende torse in die dag van sy bereiding wees, en die dennebome sal verskriklik geskud word.
4
The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Die strydwaens sal in die strate raas, hulle sal teen mekaar stamp in die breë weë: hulle aangesig sal soos torse lyk, hulle sal soos die weerligte hardloop.
5
He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
Hy sal sy magtiges in herinnering bring: hulle sal in hulle wandeling struikel; hulle sal haastig na die muur toe gaan, en die beskutting sal voorberei word.
6
The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
Die poorte van die riviere sal oopgemaak word, en die paleis sal ontbind word.
7
And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead [her] as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
En Huzab sal weggevoer word, sy sal weggelei word, en haar dienaresse sal haar lei met die stem van duiwe, op hulle borste kloppende.
8
But Nineveh [is] of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, [shall they cry]; but none shall look back.
Maar Ninevé is van ouds soos ’n poel van water: tog sal hulle vlug weg. Staan, staan, sal hulle roep; maar niemand sal omkyk nie.
9
Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for [there is] none end of the store [and] glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
Neem julle die silwer, neem die goud: want daar is geen einde van die voorraad en heerlikheid uit al die aangename huisraad nie.
10
She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain [is] in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Sy is leeg, en leeg, en verwoes: en die hart smelt, en die knieë klap teen mekaar, en baie pyn is in al die lendene, en die aangesigte van hulle almal word swart.
11
Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, [even] the old lion, walked, [and] the lion’s whelp, and none made [them] afraid?
Waar is die woning van die leeus, en die weiveld van die jong leeus, waar die leeu, selfs die ou leeu, gewandel het, en die leeuwelpie, en niemand het hulle bang gemaak nie?
12
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
Die leeu het genoeg vir sy welpies verskeur, en gewurg vir sy leeuwyfies, en sy gate met prooi gevul, en sy holle met roof.
13
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
Kyk, ek is teen jou, sê die HERE van leërskare, en ek sal haar strydwaens in die rook verbrand, en die swaard sal jou jong leeus verteer: en ek sal jou roof van die aarde afsny, en die stem van jou boodskappers sal nie meer gehoor word nie.
