< Nahum 1 >
1 THE BURDEN of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei
2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God, the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.
Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis
3 The LORD is long-suffering, and great in power, and will by no means clear the guilty; the LORD, in the whirlwind and in the storm is His way, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius et nebulae pulvis pedum eius
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers; Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit
5 The mountains quake at Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at His presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie eius et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo
6 Who can stand before His indignation? And who can abide in the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder before Him.
ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit et quis resistet in ira furoris eius indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis et petrae dissolutae sunt ab eo
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knoweth them that take refuge in Him.
bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se
8 But with an overrunning flood He will make a full end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.
et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae
9 What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time.
quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio
10 For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
quia sicut spinae se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena
11 Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness.
ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans praevaricationem
12 Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
haec dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra
13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam
14 And the LORD hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown; out of the house of thy god will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art become worthless.
et praecipiet super te Dominus non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile et conflatile ponam sepulchrum tuum quia inhonoratus es
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that announceth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis et adnuntiantis pacem celebra Iuda festivitates tuas et redde vota tua quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial universus interiit
