Nahum 1
1 The oracle, on Nineveh, —the scroll 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 A GOD jealous and avenging, is Yahweh, an avenger, is Yahweh, and a lord of wrath, an avenger, is Yahweh towards his adversaries, and, a retainer [of anger], is he to his foes.
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 Yahweh, is slow to anger, but great in vigour, He will not leave, unpunished, as for Yahweh, in storm-wind and in tempest, is his way, and, 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 Who rebuketh the sea and hath made it dry, and, all the streams, hath he dried up, —withered are Bashan and Carmel, Even the bloom of Lebanon, is withered:
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 Mountains, have trembled because of him, and, the hills, have melted, —and the earth, hath lifted itself up, at his presence, the world also, and all who dwell therein.
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 Before his indignation, who shall stand? And who shall abide the glow of his anger? His wrath, hath been poured forth like fire, and, the rocks, have been broken down because of 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 Good is Yahweh, as a protection in the day of distress, —and one who acknowledgeth them who seek 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 overflow rolling on, a full end, will he make of them who rise up against him, —and, his foes, will he pursue 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 can ye devise against Yahweh? A full end, is he making, —Distress, shall not rise up twice:
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 Though they were like thorns intertwined, and as drunkards drenched with their drink, yet have they been devoured, like stubble fully dry.
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 Out of thee, hath one come forth—plotting, against Yahweh, wickedness, —A counselor of the Abandoned One.
有一人從你那裏出來， 圖謀邪惡，設惡計攻擊耶和華。
12 Thus, saith Yahweh, Though they be in full force, and so in great numbers, yet, even so, have they been cut off, and have passed away, —If I humble thee [once], I will not humble thee again.
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, therefore, will I break his yoke from off thee, —and, thy fetters, will I tear off.
現在我必從你頸項上折斷他的軛， 扭開他的繩索。
14 Then will Yahweh give command concerning thee, None of thy name shall be sown any more, —out of the house of thy gods, will I cut off carved image and molten image, I will appoint thy grave, for thou art of little esteem.
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 Lo! upon the mountains, The feet of one, who bringeth Good Tidings! who publisheth Prosperity! Celebrate, O Judah, thy pilgrim festivals, fulfil thy vows, for, not again, any more, shall the Abandoned One, pass through thee, he hath been wholly 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。
