Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Breme Nineviji; knjiga od utvare Nauma Elkošanina.
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.
Bog je revnitelj i Gospod je osvetnik; osvetnik je Gospod i gnjevi se; Gospod se sveti protivnicima svojim, i drži gnjev prema neprijateljima svojim.
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.
Gospod je spor na gnjev i velike je moæi; ali nikako ne pravda krivca; put je Gospodnji u vihoru i buri, i oblaci su prah od nogu njegovijeh.
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.
Zapreæuje moru i isušuje ga, i sve rijeke isušuje, vene Vasan i Karmil, i cvijet Vasanski vene.
5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
Gore se tresu od njega, i humovi se rastapaju, a zemlja gori pred njim i vasiljena i sve što živi u njoj.
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.
Pred gnjevom njegovijem ko æe se održati? i ko æe se oprijeti jarosti gnjeva njegova? jarost se njegova izlijeva kao oganj, i stijene se raspadaju pred njim.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
Dobar je Gospod, grad je u nevolji, i poznaje one koji se uzdaju u nj.
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Ali æe silnom poplavom uèiniti kraj mjestu njezinu, i tama æe goniti neprijatelje njegove.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
Šta smišljate Gospodu? on æe uèiniti kraj; neæe se dva puta podignuti pogibao.
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
Jer kao trnje spleteni i kao od vina pijani proždrijeæe se kao suha slama.
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
Iz tebe je izašao koji smišlja zlo Gospodu, savjetnik nevaljao.
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.
Ovako veli Gospod: ako i jesu u sili i mnogo ih ima, opet æe se isjeæi i proæi. Muèio sam te, neæu te više muèiti.
13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
Nego æu sada slomiti jaram njegov s tebe, i pokidaæu tvoje okove.
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.”
Ali za tebe zapovjedi Gospod da se ne sije više ime tvoje; iz doma bogova tvojih istrijebiæu likove rezane i livene; naèiniæu ti od njega grob kad budeš prezren.
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.
Eto, na gorama noge onoga koji nosi dobre glase, koji oglašuje mir. Praznuj, Juda, svoje praznike, ispunjaj zavjete svoje, jer zlikovac neæe više prolaziti po tebi; sasvijem se zatro.
