Nahum 1

1 A prophecy about Nineveh: the scroll of the vision that came to Nahum the Elkoshite.

[the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

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.

[is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.

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.

Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Q(K)*) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.

4 He commands the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon fades.

[he is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.

5 Mountains quake in his presence; hills melt away. The earth trembles before him—the whole world and everyone who lives there.

Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those who] dwell in it.

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.

Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.

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,

[is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.

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.

And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.

9 Why are you plotting against the Lord? He will end it completely; misery won't arise twice.

Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.

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.

For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.

11 One of you is plotting evil against the Lord, someone who is planning wickedness.

From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.

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.

Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.

13 Now I will break their yoke from your necks and tear away the chains which bind you.

And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.

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.

And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.

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.

There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Q(k)*) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.
