Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Onus Ninive: Liber visionis Nahum Elcesæi.
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
Deus æmulator, et ulciscens Dominus: ulciscens Dominus, et habens furorem: ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos, et irascens ipse inimicis suis.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Dominus patiens, et magnus fortitudine, et mundans non faciet innocentem. Dominus in tempestate, et turbine viæ eius, et nebulæ pulvis pedum eius.
4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
Increpans mare, et exiccans 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 burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
Montes commoti sunt ab eo, et colles desolati 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 thrown down by him.
Ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit? et quis resistet in ira furoris eius? indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis: et petræ dissolutæ sunt ab eo.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
Bonus Dominus, et confortans in die tribulationis: et sciens sperantes in se.
8 But with a surpassing flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
Et in diluvio prætereunte, consummationem faciet loci eius: et inimicos eius persequentur tenebræ.
9 What do all of you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Quid cogitatis contra Dominum? consummationem ipse faciet: non consurget duplex tribulatio.
10 For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Quia sicut spinæ se invicem complectuntur, sic convivium eorum pariter potantium: consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena.
11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
Ex te exibit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam: mente pertractans prævaricationem.
12 Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Hæc dicit Dominus: Si perfecti fuerint: et ita plures, sic quoque attondentur, et pertransibit: afflixi te, et non affligam te ultra.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds in two.
Et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo, et vincula tua disrumpam.
14 And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
Et præcipiet 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 brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
Ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis, et annunciantis pacem: celebra Iuda festivitates tuas, et redde vota tua: quia non adiiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial: universus interiit.
