Nahum 1

1 [the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.

2 [is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.

Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.

3 Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Q(K)*) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.

Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

4 [he is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.

He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.

5 Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those who] dwell in it.

The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.

6 Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.

Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.

7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.

Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.

8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.

But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.

9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.

What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.

10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.

For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.

11 From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.

Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.

12 Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.

This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.

13 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.

Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”

14 And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.

Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”

15 There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Q(k)*) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.

Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
