< Nahum 1 >

1 [I am] Nahum, from Elkosh [village]. [This is] a message about Nineveh [city, the capital of Assyria that was given] to me in a vision [by Yahweh].
Пророчество о Ниневии: книга видения Наума сына Елкесеева.
2 Yahweh our God (is jealous/does not want people to worship any other god). He is very angry [with those who worship other gods], and he gets revenge [DOU] [on all] those who oppose him [DOU].
Бог ревнив и мстяй Господь, мстяй Господь с яростию, Господь мстяй сопостатом Своим и потребляяй сам враги Своя.
3 Yahweh does not quickly become angry; but he is very powerful, and he will certainly punish [LIT] those who have done evil things [MTY]. He shows his power by sending whirlwinds and storms, and clouds are [like] [MET] the dust [stirred up by] his feet.
Господь долготерпелив, и велика крепость Его, и очищаяй не очистит Господь: в скончании и трусе путь Его, и облацы прах ног Его:
4 When he commands oceans and rivers to become dry, they dry up. [He causes the grass in the fields in] the Bashan [region] and [on the slopes of] Carmel [Mountain] to wither, [and causes] the flowers in Lebanon to fade.
запрещаяй морю и изсушаяй е и вся реки опустошаяй. Умалися Васанитида и Кармил, и процветающая Ливана оскудеша:
5 When he appears, [it is as though] the mountains shake and the hills melt; the earth quakes and [the people on] the earth tremble.
горы потрясошася от Него, и холми поколебашася, и ужасеся земля от лица Его, вселенная и вси живущии на ней.
6 There is no one [RHQ] who can resist him when he becomes extremely angry; there is no one [RHQ] who can survive when his anger is very hot. When he is very angry, [it is as though] his anger is like [SIM] a blazing fire, and [it is as though] mountains are shattered into pieces.
От лица гнева Его кто постоит? И кто сопротивится во гневе ярости Его? Ярость Его растаевает власти, и камение сотрошася от Него.
7 But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
Благ Господь терпящым Его в день скорбения, и знаяй боящыяся Его:
8 But he will get rid of his enemies; he will be to them [like] [MET] a flood that destroys everything. He will chase his enemies into the darkness [of the place where the dead are].
и в потопе пути скончание сотворит: востающыя и враги Его поженет тма.
9 [So], it is useless [RHQ] for you [people of Nineveh] to plot against Yahweh. He will not [need to] strike you two times to destroy you; he will destroy you [by striking you only once].
Что помышляете на Господа? Скончание Сам сотворит, не отмстит дважды купно в скорби:
10 [It will be as though his enemies] are tangled in thorns, and they will stagger like people who have drunk a lot of wine. They will be burned up like [SIM] a fire completely burns up stubble/straw.
понеже до основания своего оляденеет, и аки блющь и оплетающься снеден будет, и аки трость сухоты полна.
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
Из тебе изыдет помысл на Господа злый, совещаваяй сопротивная.
12 But this is what Yahweh says [about you Israeli people]: “Although the people of Assyria have very many people and their army is very powerful, they will be destroyed and will disappear. [I say to my people in Judah, ] ‘have [already] punished you, but I will not punish you again.
Сия глаголет Господь: обладаяй водами многими, и сице разступятся, и слух твой не услышится ктому:
13 Now I will cause the [people of Assyria] to no longer control/oppress you [MET]; [it will be as though] I will tear off the shackles/chains on your [hands and feet].”
и ныне сокрушу жезл его от тебе и узы твоя расторгну.
14 [And this is what] Yahweh also declares about you people of Nineveh: “You will not have any descendants who will continue to have your family names. And I will destroy all the statues of your gods that were carved or formed in molds. I will cause you [to be killed and] sent to your graves, because you are vile/despicable!”
И заповесть о тебе Господь, не разсеется от имене твоего ктому: от дому бога твоего потреблю изваянная и слиянная положу гроб твой, яко скори (есте).
15 [You people of Judah, ] look! A messenger will be coming across the mountains, and he [SYN] will be bringing good news [to you]. He will be declaring [that you will now have] peace [because Assyria will have been conquered]. [So, ] celebrate your festivals, and do what you solemnly promised to do [when your enemies were threatening to attack you], because your wicked [enemies] will not invade your country again, [because] they will be completely destroyed.
Се, на горах ноги благовествующаго и возвещающаго мир: празднуй, Иудо, праздники твоя, воздаждь обеты твоя, зане не приложат ктому еже проити сквозе тебе во обетшание: скончася и извержеся.
