Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.
Breme Niniv. Knjiga videnja Nahuma Elkošána.
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.
Bog je ljubosumen in Gospod maščuje; Gospod maščuje in je razjarjen; Gospod se bo maščeval na svojih nasprotnikih in on prihranja bes za svoje sovražnike.
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.
Gospod je počasen za jezo in silen v moči in sploh ne bo oprostil tožbe zlobnih. Gospod ima svojo pot v vrtinčastem vetru in v viharju in oblaki so prah njegovih stopal.
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.
Ošteva morje in ga osušuje in suši vse reke. Bašán peša in Karmel in cvet Libanona peša.
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.
Gore se tresejo ob njem in hribi se topijo in zemlja je sežgana ob njegovi prisotnosti, da, zemeljski [krog] in vsi, ki prebivajo na njem.
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.
Kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim ogorčenjem? In kdo lahko prebiva v okrutnosti njegove jeze? Njegova razjarjenost je izlita kakor ogenj in skale so vržene dol po njem.
7 The Lord is good and as a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Gospod je dober, oporišče v dnevu stiske in pozna tiste, ki zaupajo vanj.
8 But passing ouer as with a flood, he will vtterly destroy the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.
Toda s preplavljajočo povodnjijo bo naredil popoln konec njihovemu kraju in tema bo zasledovala njegove sovražnike.
9 What doe ye imagine against the Lord? he wil make an vtter destruction: affliction shall not rise vp the seconde time.
Kaj si domišljate zoper Gospoda? On bo naredil popoln konec. Stiska se drugič ne bo vzdignila.
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.
Kajti medtem ko so zviti skupaj kakor trnje in medtem ko so pijani kakor pijanci, bodo požrti kakor popolnoma suho strnišče.
11 There commeth one out of thee that imagineth euill against the Lord, euen a wicked counsellour.
Nekdo je izšel iz tebe, ki si je zoper Gospoda domišljal hudobijo, zloben svetovalec.
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.
Tako govori Gospod: »Čeprav so tihi in prav tako številni, vendar bodo tako posekani, ko bo šel skozi. Čeprav sem te prizadel, te ne bom več prizadel.«
13 For nowe I will breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Kajti sedaj bom zlomil njegov jarem iznad tebe in tvoje vezi razpočil narazen.
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.
Gospod je glede tebe dal zapoved, da se ne bo več sejalo iz tvojega imena. Iz hiše tvojih bogov bom iztrebil izrezljano podobo in ulito podobo. Pripravil ti bom grob; kajti hudoben si.
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.
Poglej na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki razglaša mir! Oh Juda, ohranjaj svoje slovesne praznike, izpolni svoje zaobljube, kajti zlobni ne bo šel več skozte; popolnoma je uničen.
