Nahum 1
1 The word about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Una revelación sobre Nínive. El libro de la visión de Nahúm el Elcosita.
2 The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
Yahvé es un Dios celoso y vengador. Yahvé se venga y está lleno de ira. Yahvé se venga de sus adversarios, y mantiene la ira contra sus enemigos.
3 The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Yahvé es lento para la ira y grande en poder, y de ninguna manera dejará impune al culpable. Yahvé se abre paso en el torbellino y en la tormenta, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
4 He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.
Reprende el mar y lo seca, y seca todos los ríos. El Basán y el Carmelo languidecen. La flor del Líbano languidece.
5 The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.
Los montes tiemblan ante él, y las colinas se derriten. La tierra tiembla ante su presencia, el mundo y todos los que lo habitan.
6 Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.
¿Quién podrá resistir ante su indignación? ¿Quién podrá soportar el ardor de su cólera? Su ira se derrama como el fuego, y las rocas son destrozadas por él.
7 The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
El Señor es bueno, es un refugio en el día de la angustia, y conoce a los que se refugian en él.
8 But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.
Pero con un diluvio desbordante, acabará por completo con su lugar, y perseguirá a sus enemigos hasta las tinieblas.
9 What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
¿Qué tramas contra Yahvé? Él hará un final completo. La aflicción no se levantará por segunda vez.
10 For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
Porque enredados como espinas, y embriagados como con su bebida, se consumen por completo como el rastrojo seco.
11 One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
Ha salido de ti uno que trama el mal contra Yahvé, que aconseja la maldad.
12 This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
Dice el Señor: “Aunque estén en plenitud de facultades y sean igualmente numerosos, así serán cortados y pasarán. Aunque te he afligido, no te afligiré más.
13 And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
Ahora romperé su yugo de encima de ti, y romperé sus ataduras”.
14 The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
Yahvé ha ordenado con respecto a ti: “No habrá más descendientes que lleven tu nombre. De la casa de tus dioses, cortaré la imagen grabada y la imagen fundida. Haré tu tumba, porque eres vil”.
15 See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
¡Mira, en los montes los pies del que trae buenas noticias, del que publica la paz! ¡Guarda tus fiestas, Judá! Cumple tus votos, porque el malvado ya no pasará por ti. Él es totalmente cortado.
