Nahum 1
1 Burden of Nineveh. The Scroll of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Proročanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viđenja Nahuma Elkošanina.
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.
Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osvećuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osvećuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.
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.
Jahve je spor u gnjevu, ali silan u moći. Ne, Jahve neće pustiti krivca nekažnjena. U vihoru i oluji put je njegov, oblaci su prašina koju podižu njegovi koraci.
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.
Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!
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.
Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.
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.
Tko može izdržati pred bijesom njegovim? Tko će odoljeti pred gnjevnom srdžbom njegovom? Jarost se njegova kao vatra izlijeva i litice se pred njim kidaju.
7 Good [is] YHWH for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knows those trusting in Him.
Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utječu
8 And with a flood passing over, An end He makes of its place, And darkness pursues His enemies.
kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit će one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit će svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.
9 What do we devise against YHWH? He is making an end, distress does not arise twice.
Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neće dva puta podići.
10 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit će potpuno smlavljeni.
11 From you has come forth a deviser of evil Against YHWH—a worthless counselor.
Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.
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.
Jahve ovako govori: “Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit će pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neću te odsada ponižavati.
13 And now I break his rod from off you, And your bands I draw away.”
A sada, razbit ću jaram koji te steže, raskidat ću tvoje okove.”
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.”
Protiv tebe Jahve naređuje: “Neće više biti roda tvoga imena, iz hrama tvojih bogova istrijebit ću likove rezane i livene, a od tvog groba ruglo ću učiniti.”
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!
Gledajte, preko gora hrli glasnik, on naviješta: “Spasenje!” Svetkuj svoje blagdane, Judo, ispuni svoje zavjete, jer Belijal više neće prolaziti po tebi, on je sasvim zatrt.
