Nahum 1
1 The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
Proročanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viđenja Nahuma Elkošanina.
2 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.
Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osvećuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osvećuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.
3 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.
Jahve je spor u gnjevu, ali silan u moći. Ne, Jahve neće pustiti krivca nekažnjena. U vihoru i oluji put je njegov, oblaci su prašina koju podižu njegovi koraci.
4 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.
Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!
5 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.
Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.
6 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.
Tko može izdržati pred bijesom njegovim? Tko će odoljeti pred gnjevnom srdžbom njegovom? Jarost se njegova kao vatra izlijeva i litice se pred njim kidaju.
7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utječu
8 But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit će one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit će svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.
9 What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neće dva puta podići.
10 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.
Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit će potpuno smlavljeni.
11 Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.
12 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.
Jahve ovako govori: “Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit će pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neću te odsada ponižavati.
13 Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
A sada, razbit ću jaram koji te steže, raskidat ću tvoje okove.”
14 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.”
Protiv tebe Jahve naređuje: “Neće više biti roda tvoga imena, iz hrama tvojih bogova istrijebit ću likove rezane i livene, a od tvog groba ruglo ću učiniti.”
15 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.
Gledajte, preko gora hrli glasnik, on naviješta: “Spasenje!” Svetkuj svoje blagdane, Judo, ispuni svoje zavjete, jer Belijal više neće prolaziti po tebi, on je sasvim zatrt.
