besiege

When life besieges us and exiles us, many things, both sacred and profane, are razed to the ground, annihilated by the fury of events.
Quand la vie nous assaille et nous exile, beaucoup de choses sacrées et profanes sont rasées et anéanties par la furie des événements.
We're not afraid if the enemy besieges us; our walls are thick, and we have plenty of food.
Nous n'avons pas peur que l'ennemi nous assiège ; nos murailles sont épaisses et nous avons de la nourriture en abondance.
