Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against 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 and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for 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; 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.
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 dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
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— the world and all its dwellers.
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 withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before 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 distress; He cares for those who trust 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 overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and 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 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a 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 they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
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 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of 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 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.
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 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
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 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.”
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 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.
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
