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].
Una revelación sobre Nínive. El libro de la visión de Nahúm el Elcosita.
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].
Yahvé es un Dios celoso y vengador. Yahvé se venga y está lleno de ira. Yahvé se venga de sus adversarios, y mantiene la ira contra sus enemigos.
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.
Yahvé es lento para la ira y grande en poder, y de ninguna manera dejará impune al culpable. Yahvé se abre paso en el torbellino y en la tormenta, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
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.
Reprende el mar y lo seca, y seca todos los ríos. El Basán y el Carmelo languidecen. La flor del Líbano languidece.
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.
Los montes tiemblan ante él, y las colinas se derriten. La tierra tiembla ante su presencia, el mundo y todos los que lo habitan.
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.
¿Quién podrá resistir ante su indignación? ¿Quién podrá soportar el ardor de su cólera? Su ira se derrama como el fuego, y las rocas son destrozadas por él.
7 But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
El Señor es bueno, es un refugio en el día de la angustia, y conoce a los que se refugian en él.
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].
Pero con un diluvio desbordante, acabará por completo con su lugar, y perseguirá a sus enemigos hasta las tinieblas.
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].
¿Qué tramas contra Yahvé? Él hará un final completo. La aflicción no se levantará por segunda vez.
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.
Porque enredados como espinas, y embriagados como con su bebida, se consumen por completo como el rastrojo seco.
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
Ha salido de ti uno que trama el mal contra Yahvé, que aconseja la maldad.
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.
Dice el Señor: “Aunque estén en plenitud de facultades y sean igualmente numerosos, así serán cortados y pasarán. Aunque te he afligido, no te afligiré más.
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].”
Ahora romperé su yugo de encima de ti, y romperé sus ataduras”.
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!”
Yahvé ha ordenado con respecto a ti: “No habrá más descendientes que lleven tu nombre. De la casa de tus dioses, cortaré la imagen grabada y la imagen fundida. Haré tu tumba, porque eres vil”.
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.
¡Mira, en los montes los pies del que trae buenas noticias, del que publica la paz! ¡Guarda tus fiestas, Judá! Cumple tus votos, porque el malvado ya no pasará por ti. Él es totalmente cortado.
