Nahum 1
1 Proročanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viđenja Nahuma Elkošanina.
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osvećuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osvećuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.
God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
3 Jahve je spor u gnjevu, ali silan u moći. Ne, Jahve neće pustiti krivca nekažnjena. U vihoru i oluji put je njegov, oblaci su prašina koju podižu njegovi koraci.
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.
The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yes, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Tko može izdržati pred bijesom njegovim? Tko će odoljeti pred gnjevnom srdžbom njegovom? Jarost se njegova kao vatra izlijeva i litice se pred njim kidaju.
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 thrown down by him.
7 Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utječu
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
8 kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit će one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit će svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neće dva puta podići.
What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit će potpuno smlavljeni.
For while they be entwined together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.
There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor.
12 Jahve ovako govori: “Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit će pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neću te odsada ponižavati.
Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 A sada, razbit ću jaram koji te steže, raskidat ću tvoje okove.”
For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds in sunder.
14 Protiv tebe Jahve naređuje: “Neće više biti roda tvoga imena, iz hrama tvojih bogova istrijebit ću likove rezane i livene, a od tvog groba ruglo ću učiniti.”
And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
15 Gledajte, preko gora hrli glasnik, on naviješta: “Spasenje!” Svetkuj svoje blagdane, Judo, ispuni svoje zavjete, jer Belijal više neće prolaziti po tebi, on je sasvim zatrt.
Behold on the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
