< Nahum 1 >

1 A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
ニネベに關る重き預言 エルコシ人ナホムの異象の書
2 The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
ヱホバは妬みかつ仇を報ゆる神 ヱホバは仇を報ゆる者また忿怒の主 ヱホバは己に逆らふ者に仇を報い己に敵する者にむかひて憤恨を含む者なり
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
ヱホバは怒ることの遲く能力の大なる者 また罰すべき者をば必ず赦すことを爲ざる者 ヱホバの道は旋風に在り 大風に在り 雲はその足の塵なり
4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
彼海を指斥て之を乾かし河々をしてことごとく涸しむ バシヤンおよびカルメルの草木は枯れレバノンの花は凋む
5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
彼の前には山々ゆるぎ嶺々溶く 彼の前には地墳上り世界およびその中に住む者皆ふきあげらる
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
誰かその憤恨に當ることを得ん 誰かその燃る忿怒に堪ることを得ん 其震怒のそそぐこと火のごとし 巖も之がために裂く
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
ヱホバは善なる者にして患難の時の要害なり 彼は己に倚賴む者を善知たまふ
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
彼みなぎる洪水をもてその處を全く滅し己に敵する者を幽暗處に逐やりたまはん
9 What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction will not rise up the second time.
汝らヱホバに對ひて何を謀るや 彼全く滅したまふべし 患難かさねて起らじ
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
彼等むすびからまれる荊棘のごとくなるとも酒に浸りをるとも乾ける藁のごとくに焚つくさるべし
11 One has gone out of you who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
ヱホバに對ひて惡事を謀る者一人汝の中より出て邪曲なる事を勸む
12 The LORD says: “Though they are in full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
ヱホバかく言たまふ 彼等全くしてその數夥多しかるとも必ず芟たふされて皆絶ん 我前にはなんぢを苦めたれども重て汝を苦めじ
13 Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
いま我かれが汝に負せし軛を碎き汝の縛を切はなすべし
14 The LORD has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.”
ヱホバ汝の事につきて命令を下す 汝の名を負ふ者再び播るること有じ 汝の神々の室より我雕像および鑄像を除き絶べし 我汝の墓を備へん 汝輕ければなり
15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
嘉音信を傳ふる者の脚山の上に見ゆ 彼平安を宣ぶ ユダよ汝の節筵を行ひ汝の誓願を果せ 邪曲なる者重て汝の中を通らざるべし 彼は全く絶る
