Nahum 1
1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Breme Niniv. Knjiga videnja Nahuma Elkošána.
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 ljubosumen in Gospod maščuje; Gospod maščuje in je razjarjen; Gospod se bo maščeval na svojih nasprotnikih in on prihranja bes za svoje sovražnike.
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 počasen za jezo in silen v moči in sploh ne bo oprostil tožbe zlobnih. Gospod ima svojo pot v vrtinčastem vetru in v viharju in oblaki so prah njegovih stopal.
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.
Ošteva morje in ga osušuje in suši vse reke. Bašán peša in Karmel in cvet Libanona peša.
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 tresejo ob njem in hribi se topijo in zemlja je sežgana ob njegovi prisotnosti, da, zemeljski [krog] in vsi, ki prebivajo na njem.
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.
Kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim ogorčenjem? In kdo lahko prebiva v okrutnosti njegove jeze? Njegova razjarjenost je izlita kakor ogenj in skale so vržene dol po njem.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
Gospod je dober, oporišče v dnevu stiske in pozna tiste, ki zaupajo vanj.
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Toda s preplavljajočo povodnjijo bo naredil popoln konec njihovemu kraju in tema bo zasledovala njegove sovražnike.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
Kaj si domišljate zoper Gospoda? On bo naredil popoln konec. Stiska se drugič ne bo vzdignila.
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
Kajti medtem ko so zviti skupaj kakor trnje in medtem ko so pijani kakor pijanci, bodo požrti kakor popolnoma suho strnišče.
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
Nekdo je izšel iz tebe, ki si je zoper Gospoda domišljal hudobijo, zloben svetovalec.
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.
Tako govori Gospod: »Čeprav so tihi in prav tako številni, vendar bodo tako posekani, ko bo šel skozi. Čeprav sem te prizadel, te ne bom več prizadel.«
13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
Kajti sedaj bom zlomil njegov jarem iznad tebe in tvoje vezi razpočil narazen.
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.”
Gospod je glede tebe dal zapoved, da se ne bo več sejalo iz tvojega imena. Iz hiše tvojih bogov bom iztrebil izrezljano podobo in ulito podobo. Pripravil ti bom grob; kajti hudoben si.
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.
Poglej na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki razglaša mir! Oh Juda, ohranjaj svoje slovesne praznike, izpolni svoje zaobljube, kajti zlobni ne bo šel več skozte; popolnoma je uničen.
