Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Carga sobre Nínive. Libro de la visión de Nahúm de Elkosch.
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.
Yahvé es un Dios celoso y vengador; vengador es Yahvé y lleno de ira. Yahvé ejerce la venganza contra sus adversarios, y guarda rencor a sus enemigos.
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.
Yahvé es longánimo y grande en poder, y no deja impune (al impío). Marcha Yahvé en el torbellino y en la tempestad, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
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.
Increpa al mar y lo deja seco, y agota todos los ríos. Faltos de lozanía están Basán y el Carmelo, y el verdor del Líbano se marchita.
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.
Delante de Él se estremecen los montes, y se derriten los collados. Ante su faz se conmueve la tierra, el orbe y cuantos en él habitan.
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.
¿Quién podrá subsistir ante su ira? ¿Quién resistir el ardor de su cólera? Se derrama como fuego su indignación, y ante Él se hienden las rocas.
7 The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
Yahvé es bueno, es fortaleza en el día de la tribulación, Él conoce a los que en Él confían,
8 And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
Con inundación arrolladora destruirá por completo aquel lugar, y las tinieblas perseguirán a sus enemigos.
9 What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
¿Qué maquináis contra Yahvé? El hace devastación completa, no surge dos veces la tribulación.
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.
Pues bien atados entre sí, como espinos, esos embriagados de su vino serán consumidos cual paja enteramente seca.
11 Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.
De ti salió el que piensa mal contra Yahvé, el que traza designios de iniquidad.
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.
Así dice Yahvé: “Aunque sean sanos y salvos y muy numerosos, con todo serán cortados y desaparecerán.” Te he humillado, pero no te humillaré más.
13 And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
Ahora romperé su yugo (que pesa) sobre ti, y haré pedazos tus coyundas.
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.
Yahvé ha decretado respecto de ti: “Ya no habrá más posteridad que lleve tu nombre. Exterminaré de la casa de tus dioses las estatuas e ídolos de fundición; y Yo te haré el sepulcro, porque serás consumida muy pronto.”
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.
He aquí sobre los montes los pies de aquel que trae buenas nuevas, de aquel que anuncia la paz. Celebra, Judá, tus fiestas, cumple tus votos; que ya no volverá a pasar por ti aquel Belial. Ha sido completamente extirpado.
