Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
論尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鴻所得的默示。
2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.
耶和華是忌邪施報的上帝。 耶和華施報大有忿怒； 向他的敵人施報， 向他的仇敵懷怒。
3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
耶和華不輕易發怒，大有能力， 萬不以有罪的為無罪。 他乘旋風和暴風而來， 雲彩為他腳下的塵土。
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
他斥責海，使海乾了， 使一切江河乾涸。 巴珊和迦密的樹林衰殘； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰殘了。
5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
大山因他震動； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其間的也都如此。
6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
他發忿恨，誰能立得住呢？ 他發烈怒，誰能當得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火傾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
耶和華本為善， 在患難的日子為人的保障， 並且認得那些投靠他的人。
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
但他必以漲溢的洪水淹沒尼尼微， 又驅逐仇敵進入黑暗。
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
尼尼微人哪，設何謀攻擊耶和華呢？ 他必將你們滅絕淨盡； 災難不再興起。
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
你們像叢雜的荊棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯乾的碎稭全然燒滅。
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
有一人從你那裏出來， 圖謀邪惡，設惡計攻擊耶和華。
12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
耶和華如此說： 尼尼微雖然勢力充足，人數繁多， 也被剪除，歸於無有。 猶大啊，我雖然使你受苦， 卻不再使你受苦。
13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
現在我必從你頸項上折斷他的軛， 扭開他的繩索。
14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
耶和華已經出令，指着尼尼微說： 你名下的人必不留後； 我必從你神的廟中除滅雕刻的偶像和鑄造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你歸於墳墓。
15 Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
看哪，有報好信傳平安之人的腳登山，說： 猶大啊，可以守你的節期， 還你所許的願吧！ 因為那惡人不再從你中間經過， 他已滅絕淨盡了。
