< ناحُوم 1 >
وَحْيٌ بِشَأْنِ نِينَوَى، كَمَا وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ رُؤْيَا نَاحُومَ الأَلْقُوشِيِّ. | ١ 1 |
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
الرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ وَمُنْتَقِمٌ. الرَّبُّ مُنْتَقِمٌ وَسَاخِطٌ. يَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَيُضْمِرُ الْغَضَبَ لِخُصُومِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
The LORD is a jealous God and avengeth; the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
الرَّبُّ بَطِيءٌ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَعَظِيمُ الْعِزَّةِ، إِنَّمَا لَا يُبْرِئُ الْخَاطِئَ الْبَتَّةَ. طَرِيقُ الرَّبِّ فِي الزَّوْبَعَةِ وَالْعَاصِفَةِ، وَالْغَمَامُ غُبَارُ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٣ 3 |
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear [the guilty]: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
يَزْجُرُ الْبَحْرَ فَيُجَفِّفُهُ. يُنْضِبُ جَمِيعَ الأَنْهَارِ، فَتَذْوِي مَرَاعِي بَاشَانَ وَالْكَرْمَلِ، وَيَذْبُلُ زَهْرُ لُبْنَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
تَتَزَلْزَلُ الْجِبَالُ أَمَامَهُ، وَتَذُوبُ التِّلالُ، وَتَتَصَدَّعُ الأَرْضُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ وَالْمَسْكُونَةُ وَالسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٥ 5 |
The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
مَنْ يَصْمِدُ أَمَامَ سَخَطِهِ؟ مَنْ يَتَحَمَّلُ فَرْطَ اضْطِرَامِ غَضَبِهِ؟ يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبُهُ كَالنَّارِ وَتَنْحَلُّ تَحْتَ وَطْأَتِهِ الصُّخُورُ. | ٦ 6 |
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
الرَّبُّ صَالِحٌ، حِصْنٌ فِي يَوْمِ الضِّيقِ، وَيَعْرِفُ الْمُعْتَصِمِينَ بِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that put their trust in him.
وَلَكِنَّهُ بِطُوفَانٍ طَامٍ يُخْفِي مَعَالِمَ نِينَوَى، وَتُدْرِكُ الظُّلْمَةُ أَعْدَاءَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
But with an overrunning flood he will make a full end of the place thereof, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
لِمَاذَا تَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ؟ إِنَّهُ يَقْضِي عَلَى مُؤَامَرَتِكُمْ، وَيُفْنِيكُمْ بِضَرْبَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. | ٩ 9 |
What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make a full end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
وَتَلْتَهِمُهُمُ النَّارُ كَمَا تَلْتَهِمُ شَجَرَةَ عُلَّيْقٍ كَثِيفَةً أَوْ سُكَارَى مُتَرَنِّحِينَ مِنْ خَمْرِهِمْ أَوْ حِزْمَةَ قَشٍّ جَافَّةً. | ١٠ 10 |
For though they be like tangled thorns, told be drenched as it were in their drink, they shall be devoured utterly as dry stubble.
مِنْكِ خَرَجَ يَا نِينَوَى مَنْ تَآمَرَ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَالْمُشِيرُ بِالسُّوءِ. | ١١ 11 |
There is one gone forth out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
وَهَذَا مَا يَقُولُهُ الرَّبُّ: مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ أَقْوِيَاءُ وَكَثِيرُونَ فَإِنَّكُمْ تُسْتَأْصَلُونَ وَتَفْنَوْنَ. أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ يَا شَعْبِي فَقَدْ عَاقَبْتُكُمْ أَشَدَّ عِقَابٍ وَلَنْ أُنْزِلَ بِكُمُ الْوَيْلاتِ ثَانِيَةً. | ١٢ 12 |
Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
بَلْ أُحَطِّمُ الآنَ نِيرَ أَشُّورَ عَنْكُمْ، وَأَكْسِرُ أَغْلالَكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
وَهَا الرَّبُّ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ قَضَاءَهُ بِشَأْنِكَ يَا أَشُّورُ: لَنْ تَبْقَى لَكَ ذُرِّيَّةٌ تَحْمِلُ اسْمَكَ. وَأَسْتَأْصِلُ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ آلهَتِكَ مَنْحُوتَاتِكَ وَمَسْبُوكَاتِكَ، وَأَجْعَلُهُ قَبْرَكَ، لأَنَّكَ صِرْتَ نَجِساً. | ١٤ 14 |
And the LORD hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
هُوَذَا عَلَى الْجِبَالِ (تَسِيرُ) قَدَمَا الْمُبَشِّرِ حَامِلِ الأَخْبَارِ السَّارَّةِ، الَّذِي يُعْلِنُ السَّلامَ. فَيَا يَهُوذَا وَاظِبْ عَلَى الاحْتِفَالِ بِأَعْيَادِكَ وَأَوْفِ نُذُورَكَ لأَنَّهُ لَنْ يُهَاجِمَكَ الشِّرِّيرُ مِنْ بَعْدُ، إِذْ قَدِ انْقَرَضَ تَمَاماً. | ١٥ 15 |
Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows: for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
