Nahum 1
1 An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
論尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鴻所得的默示。
2 YHWH is a jealous God and avenges. YHWH avenges and is full of wrath. YHWH takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
耶和華是忌邪施報的上帝。 耶和華施報大有忿怒； 向他的敵人施報， 向他的仇敵懷怒。
3 YHWH is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. YHWH has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
耶和華不輕易發怒，大有能力， 萬不以有罪的為無罪。 他乘旋風和暴風而來， 雲彩為他腳下的塵土。
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.
他斥責海，使海乾了， 使一切江河乾涸。 巴珊和迦密的樹林衰殘； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰殘了。
5 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
大山因他震動； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其間的也都如此。
6 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
他發忿恨，誰能立得住呢？ 他發烈怒，誰能當得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火傾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
7 YHWH is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
耶和華本為善， 在患難的日子為人的保障， 並且認得那些投靠他的人。
8 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
但他必以漲溢的洪水淹沒尼尼微， 又驅逐仇敵進入黑暗。
9 What do you plot against YHWH? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
尼尼微人哪，設何謀攻擊耶和華呢？ 他必將你們滅絕淨盡； 災難不再興起。
10 For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
你們像叢雜的荊棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯乾的碎稭全然燒滅。
11 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against YHWH, who counsels wickedness.
有一人從你那裏出來， 圖謀邪惡，設惡計攻擊耶和華。
12 Thus says YHWH: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
耶和華如此說： 尼尼微雖然勢力充足，人數繁多， 也被剪除，歸於無有。 猶大啊，我雖然使你受苦， 卻不再使你受苦。
13 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
現在我必從你頸項上折斷他的軛， 扭開他的繩索。
14 YHWH has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
耶和華已經出令，指着尼尼微說： 你名下的人必不留後； 我必從你神的廟中除滅雕刻的偶像和鑄造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你歸於墳墓。
15 Look, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace. Keep your feasts, Judah. Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
看哪，有報好信傳平安之人的腳登山，說： 猶大啊，可以守你的節期， 還你所許的願吧！ 因為那惡人不再從你中間經過， 他已滅絕淨盡了。
