Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
论尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。
2 God is a rival, and the Lord is avenging. The Lord is avenging, and one who applies wrath. The Lord is avenging with his enemies, and he becomes angry with his adversaries.
耶和华是忌邪施报的 神。 耶和华施报大有忿怒； 向他的敌人施报， 向他的仇敌怀怒。
3 The Lord is patient and great in strength, and those who are not clean, he makes innocent. The Lord is in a tempest, and his way is a whirlwind, and the clouds are dust at his feet.
耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力， 万不以有罪的为无罪。 他乘旋风和暴风而来， 云彩为他脚下的尘土。
4 He is the one who rebukes the sea, and who dries it up, and who leads all the rivers to the desert. Basan has been weakened, and also Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon has languished.
他斥责海，使海干了， 使一切江河干涸。 巴珊和迦密的树林衰残； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰残了。
5 The mountains have trembled before him, and the hills have become desolate, and the earth has quaked before his face, both the world and all that dwells in it.
大山因他震动； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其间的也都如此。
6 Who can stand firm before the face of his indignation? And who can continue against the fury of his wrath? His indignation has broken out like a fire, and the rocks have been dissolved before him.
他发忿恨，谁能立得住呢？ 他发烈怒，谁能当得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火倾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
7 The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
耶和华本为善， 在患难的日子为人的保障， 并且认得那些投靠他的人。
8 And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微， 又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。
9 What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
尼尼微人哪，设何谋攻击耶和华呢？ 他必将你们灭绝净尽； 灾难不再兴起。
10 For just as thorns entwine one another, so also, while they are feasting and drinking together, they will be consumed like stubble that is completely dry.
你们像丛杂的荆棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。
11 Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.
有一人从你那里出来， 图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。
12 Thus says the Lord: If they had been perfect, and many of them so, yet still they would be pruned, and it will cross through them. I have afflicted you, and I shall afflict you no more.
耶和华如此说： 尼尼微虽然势力充足，人数繁多， 也被剪除，归于无有。 犹大啊，我虽然使你受苦， 却不再使你受苦。
13 And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭， 扭开他的绳索。
14 And the Lord will place a commandment over you; nothing more from your name will be sown. From the house of your God, I will order destroyed the graven image and the molten image. I will prepare your grave, because you are not honorable.
耶和华已经出令，指着尼尼微说： 你名下的人必不留后； 我必从你神的庙中除灭雕刻的偶像和铸造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你归于坟墓。
15 Behold, over the mountains, the feet of the Evangelizer and the Announcer of peace. Judah, celebrate your festivals and keep your vows. For Belial will never again pass through you; he has completely passed away.
看哪，有报好信传平安之人的脚登山，说： 犹大啊，可以守你的节期， 还你所许的愿吧！ 因为那恶人不再从你中间经过， 他已灭绝净尽了。
