那鸿书 1
1 论尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。
The burden of Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
2 耶和华是忌邪施报的 神。 耶和华施报大有忿怒； 向他的敌人施报， 向他的仇敌怀怒。
God is jealous, and the Lord avenges; the Lord avenges with wrath; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he cuts off his enemies.
3 耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力， 万不以有罪的为无罪。 他乘旋风和暴风而来， 云彩为他脚下的尘土。
The Lord is longsuffering, and his power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: his way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 他斥责海，使海干了， 使一切江河干涸。 巴珊和迦密的树林衰残； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰残了。
He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing [trees] of Libanus have come to nothing.
5 大山因他震动； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其间的也都如此。
The mountains quake at him, and the hills are shaken, and the earth recoils at his presence, [even] the world, and all that dwell in it.
6 他发忿恨，谁能立得住呢？ 他发烈怒，谁能当得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火倾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
Who shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nothing kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
7 耶和华本为善， 在患难的日子为人的保障， 并且认得那些投靠他的人。
The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
8 但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微， 又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and his enemies.
9 尼尼微人哪，设何谋攻击耶和华呢？ 他必将你们灭绝净尽； 灾难不再兴起。
What do you devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same time.
10 你们像丛杂的荆棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。
For [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and as stubble fully dry.
11 有一人从你那里出来， 图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。
Out of you shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
12 耶和华如此说： 尼尼微虽然势力充足，人数繁多， 也被剪除，归于无有。 犹大啊，我虽然使你受苦， 却不再使你受苦。
Thus says the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of you shall not be heard any more.
13 现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭， 扭开他的绳索。
And now will I break his rod from off you, and will burst [your] bonds.
14 耶和华已经出令，指着尼尼微说： 你名下的人必不留后； 我必从你神的庙中除灭雕刻的偶像和铸造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你归于坟墓。
And the Lord shall give a command concerning you; there shall no more of your name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of your god, and the molten [images]: I will make your grave; for [they are] swift.
15 看哪，有报好信传平安之人的脚登山，说： 犹大啊，可以守你的节期， 还你所许的愿吧！ 因为那恶人不再从你中间经过， 他已灭绝净尽了。
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep your feasts, pay your vows: for they shall no more pass through you to [your] decay.
