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].
La palabra acerca de Nínive. El libro de la visión de Nahum de Elcos.
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].
Él Señor es celoso y vengador; vengador es él Señor; el Señor envía castigos a quienes están en su contra, guarda rencor a 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.
El Señor tarda en enojarse y tiene un gran poder, y no dejará ir al pecador sin castigo; el camino del Señor está en el viento y 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 al mar y lo seca, secando todos los ríos; Son destruidos Basán, y el Carmelo, y la flor del Líbano se marchita.
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.
Las montañas tiemblan a causa de él, y las colinas se derriten; la tierra se está desmoronando ante él, el mundo y todos los que están en él.
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 puede guardar su lugar ante de su ira? ¿Y quién puede resistir el calor de su furor? Su ira se desata como el fuego y él rompe las rocas.
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, una fortaleza fuerte en el día de la angustia; y conoce a aquellos que confían 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 como el agua que se desborda, se los llevará; él pondrá fin, conduciendo a sus enemigos a la oscuridad.
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 el Señor? él lo hará completa destrucción; sus enemigos no volverán a aparecer 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 aunque son como espinas retorcidas, y ebrios con la bebida, vendrán a la destrucción como paja completamente secos.
11 In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
Uno ha salido de ti que está tramando el mal contra el Señor, consejero cuyos propósitos son perversos.
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.
Esto es lo que el Señor ha dicho: aunque estén listos y sean muchos; Los días de mi causa contra ti han terminado; serán cortados y pasarán. Aunque te he afligido, ya no te afligiré.
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].”
Y ahora dejaré que se te rompa el yugo y se separen tus cadenas.
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!”
El Señor ha dado una orden acerca de ti, que no tendrás descendencia que lleve tu nombre; destruiré la casa de tus dioses y arrancaré las imágenes y las imágenes de fundición; Te enterraré allí, porque es un lugar de vergüenza; porque eres completamente malvado.
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 las montañas los pies del que viene con buenas noticias, dando palabras de paz! Celebra tus fiestas, oh Judá, da cumplimiento a tus juramentos; porque nunca más el hombre malvado volverá a pasar por ti; él está completamente destruido.
