Nahum 1
1 A prophecy about Nineveh: the scroll of the vision that came to 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 God is avenging and angry. The Lord takes vengeance on his enemies, he is angry with those who are hostile to him.
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 become angry, has great power, and will not leave the guilty unpunished. He walks among the whirlwind and the storm; the clouds are like 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 commands the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon fades.
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 Mountains quake in his presence; hills melt away. The earth trembles before him—the whole world and everyone who lives there.
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 fury? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His rage pours out like molten fire; he shatters rocks to pieces.
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 place of safety in a time of trouble. He takes care of those who place their 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 those who oppose him will be swept away by a tremendous flood to their destruction. He pursues his enemies into the darkness of death.
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 Why are you plotting against the Lord? He will end it completely; misery won't arise twice.
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 They entangle themselves like people caught in thorn bushes; they are like drunks full of drink. They will be completely burned up like dry straw.
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 One of you is plotting evil against the Lord, someone who is planning 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: Even though they are strong and numerous, they will be cut down and they will pass away. Though I have caused you trouble, I will not do so anymore.
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 Now I will break their yoke from your necks and tear away the chains which bind you.
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 This is what the Lord has ordered concerning you. You will have no descendants to carry on your name. I will destroy the gods in your temples, all the wooden and metal idols. I am digging your grave, for you are depraved.
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! A messenger is coming over the mountains, bringing good news and proclaiming peace. Judah, celebrate your religious festivals and keep your vows, for never again will wicked enemies invade your land—they will be completely destroyed.
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
