Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.
關於尼尼微的神諭，厄耳科士人納鴻的神視錄：
2 God is ielous, and the Lord reuengeth: the Lord reuengeth: euen the Lord of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his aduersaries, and he reserueth wrath for his enemies.
上主是嫉惡和復仇的天主；上主要復仇，且憤恕填胸；上主汐必對敵人復仉，必向仇人洩怒。
3 The Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely cleare the wicked: the Lord hath his way in ye whirlewind, and in the storme, and the cloudes are the dust of his feete.
上主雖緩於發怒，但能力偉大，衪決不全然免罰；衪的行為是在狂風暴雨中，雲彩是衪腳下的塵埃。
4 He rebuketh the sea, and dryeth it, and he dryeth vp all the riuers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the floure of Lebanon is wasted.
衪一呵叱海洋，海洋即枯竭，眾河流也為之乾涸，巴商與加爾默耳於是枯槁，黎巴嫩的花卉也隨之凋謝。
5 The mountaines tremble for him, and the hilles melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea, the worlde, and all that dwell therein.
山岳在衪面前震盪，丘陵動搖；大地寰宇及其中所有的居民，在衪面前莫不戰慄。
6 Who can stande before his wrath? or who can abide in the fiercenesse of his wrath? his wrath is powred out like fire, and the rockes are broken by him.
誰能抵得住衪的怒氣﹖誰能忍受得住衪的烈怒﹖衪的憤怒如火冒出，連磐石也要在衪面前破碎。
7 The Lord is good and as a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
上主原是良善的，是患難之日的避難所，衪必照顧依賴衪的人；
8 But passing ouer as with a flood, he will vtterly destroy the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.
在洪流氾濫時，衪必拯救他們；但對衪的敵人，衪必予以毀滅，將衪的仇人驅入黑暗。
9 What doe ye imagine against the Lord? he wil make an vtter destruction: affliction shall not rise vp the seconde time.
尼尼微，你們對上主有什麼圖謀﹖衪必完全予以毀滅，不必二次降災。
10 For he shall come as vnto thornes folden one in another, and as vnto drunkards in their drunkennesse: they shall be deuoured as stubble fully dryed.
他們像纏結的荊棘[又像大醉的豪飲者，]必如乾楷全被燒盡。
11 There commeth one out of thee that imagineth euill against the Lord, euen a wicked counsellour.
是由你們中間出現了那妄想反抗上主，圖謀惡計的人。
12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall passe by: though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
上主這樣說：「雖然他們裝備齊全而且眾多，但仍要被剷除，歸於烏有。雖然磨難了你，我必不再磨難你。
13 For nowe I will breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
現在我必由你身上打斷他的軛，打碎你的鎖鏈。
14 And the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sowen: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the grauen, and the molten image: I will make it thy graue for thee, for thou art vile.
尼尼微，上主已對你下了命令：你的名字不再傳於後世；我要把彫像鑄像由你神廟內除去，並使你的墳墓成為辱罵的對象。」
15 Beholde vpon the mountaines the feete of him that declareth, and publisheth peace: O Iudah, keepe thy solemne feastes, perfourme thy vowes: for the wicked shall no more passe thorowe thee: he is vtterly cut off.
看，那傳報福音，宣侑和平者的腳已站在山上! 猶大，你的慶節，償還你的誓願吧! 因為那惡者不會再由你中間經過，他已全然消滅。
