ناحُوم 1
| وَحْيٌ بِشَأْنِ نِينَوَى، كَمَا وَرَدَ فِي كِتَابِ رُؤْيَا نَاحُومَ الأَلْقُوشِيِّ. | ١ 1 |
Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
| الرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ وَمُنْتَقِمٌ. الرَّبُّ مُنْتَقِمٌ وَسَاخِطٌ. يَنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ، وَيُضْمِرُ الْغَضَبَ لِخُصُومِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
A God zealous and avenging [is] YHWH, An avenger [is] YHWH, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] YHWH on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
| الرَّبُّ بَطِيءٌ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَعَظِيمُ الْعِزَّةِ، إِنَّمَا لَا يُبْرِئُ الْخَاطِئَ الْبَتَّةَ. طَرِيقُ الرَّبِّ فِي الزَّوْبَعَةِ وَالْعَاصِفَةِ، وَالْغَمَامُ غُبَارُ قَدَمَيْهِ. | ٣ 3 |
YHWH [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And YHWH does not entirely acquit, In a windstorm and in a storm [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
| يَزْجُرُ الْبَحْرَ فَيُجَفِّفُهُ. يُنْضِبُ جَمِيعَ الأَنْهَارِ، فَتَذْوِي مَرَاعِي بَاشَانَ وَالْكَرْمَلِ، وَيَذْبُلُ زَهْرُ لُبْنَانَ. | ٤ 4 |
He is pushing against a sea, and dries it up, Indeed, He has made all the floods dry, Bashan and Carmel [are] languishing, Indeed, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
| تَتَزَلْزَلُ الْجِبَالُ أَمَامَهُ، وَتَذُوبُ التِّلالُ، وَتَتَصَدَّعُ الأَرْضُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ وَالْمَسْكُونَةُ وَالسَّاكِنُونَ فِيهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And the earth [is] lifted up at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
| مَنْ يَصْمِدُ أَمَامَ سَخَطِهِ؟ مَنْ يَتَحَمَّلُ فَرْطَ اضْطِرَامِ غَضَبِهِ؟ يَنْصَبُّ غَضَبُهُ كَالنَّارِ وَتَنْحَلُّ تَحْتَ وَطْأَتِهِ الصُّخُورُ. | ٦ 6 |
Who stands before His indignation? And who rises up in the heat of His anger? His fury has been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
| الرَّبُّ صَالِحٌ، حِصْنٌ فِي يَوْمِ الضِّيقِ، وَيَعْرِفُ الْمُعْتَصِمِينَ بِهِ. | ٧ 7 |
Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
| وَلَكِنَّهُ بِطُوفَانٍ طَامٍ يُخْفِي مَعَالِمَ نِينَوَى، وَتُدْرِكُ الظُّلْمَةُ أَعْدَاءَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
| لِمَاذَا تَتَآمَرُونَ عَلَى الرَّبِّ؟ إِنَّهُ يَقْضِي عَلَى مُؤَامَرَتِكُمْ، وَيُفْنِيكُمْ بِضَرْبَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. | ٩ 9 |
What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
| وَتَلْتَهِمُهُمُ النَّارُ كَمَا تَلْتَهِمُ شَجَرَةَ عُلَّيْقٍ كَثِيفَةً أَوْ سُكَارَى مُتَرَنِّحِينَ مِنْ خَمْرِهِمْ أَوْ حِزْمَةَ قَشٍّ جَافَّةً. | ١٠ 10 |
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
| مِنْكِ خَرَجَ يَا نِينَوَى مَنْ تَآمَرَ بِالشَّرِّ عَلَى الرَّبِّ، وَالْمُشِيرُ بِالسُّوءِ. | ١١ 11 |
From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
| 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 said YHWH: “Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he has passed away. Though I afflicted you, I afflict you no longer.
| بَلْ أُحَطِّمُ الآنَ نِيرَ أَشُّورَ عَنْكُمْ، وَأَكْسِرُ أَغْلالَكُمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
| 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 YHWH has commanded concerning you, “No more of your name spreads abroad, I cut off carved and molten image from the house of your gods, I appoint your grave, for you have been 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, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, your festivals, complete your vows, For the worthless no longer pass over into you, He has been completely cut off!
