Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
關於尼尼微的神諭，厄耳科士人納鴻的神視錄：
2 A God zealous and avenging [is] YHWH, An avenger [is] YHWH, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] YHWH on His adversaries, And He is watching 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 YHWH [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And YHWH does not entirely acquit, In a windstorm and in a storm [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
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 is pushing against a sea, and dries it up, Indeed, He has made all the floods dry, Bashan and Carmel [are] languishing, Indeed, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
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 Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And the earth [is] lifted up at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
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 stands before His indignation? And who rises up in the heat of His anger? His fury has been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been 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 Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting 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 And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues 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 do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
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 while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
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 From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
是由你們中間出現了那妄想反抗上主，圖謀惡計的人。
12 Thus said YHWH: “Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he has passed away. Though I afflicted you, I afflict you no longer.
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 And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
現在我必由你身上打斷他的軛，打碎你的鎖鏈。
14 And YHWH has commanded concerning you, “No more of your name spreads abroad, I cut off carved and molten image from the house of your gods, I appoint your grave, for you have been 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 Behold, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, your festivals, complete your vows, For the worthless no longer pass over into you, He has been completely 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。
