Nahum 1
1 The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
Breme Niniv. Knjiga videnja Nahuma Elkošána.
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.
Bog je ljubosumen in Gospod maščuje; Gospod maščuje in je razjarjen; Gospod se bo maščeval na svojih nasprotnikih in on prihranja bes za svoje sovražnike.
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.
Gospod je počasen za jezo in silen v moči in sploh ne bo oprostil tožbe zlobnih. Gospod ima svojo pot v vrtinčastem vetru in v viharju in oblaki so prah njegovih stopal.
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.
Ošteva morje in ga osušuje in suši vse reke. Bašán peša in Karmel in cvet Libanona peša.
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.
Gore se tresejo ob njem in hribi se topijo in zemlja je sežgana ob njegovi prisotnosti, da, zemeljski [krog] in vsi, ki prebivajo na njem.
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.
Kdo lahko obstane pred njegovim ogorčenjem? In kdo lahko prebiva v okrutnosti njegove jeze? Njegova razjarjenost je izlita kakor ogenj in skale so vržene dol po njem.
7 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
Gospod je dober, oporišče v dnevu stiske in pozna tiste, ki zaupajo vanj.
8 But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
Toda s preplavljajočo povodnjijo bo naredil popoln konec njihovemu kraju in tema bo zasledovala njegove sovražnike.
9 What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
Kaj si domišljate zoper Gospoda? On bo naredil popoln konec. Stiska se drugič ne bo vzdignila.
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.
Kajti medtem ko so zviti skupaj kakor trnje in medtem ko so pijani kakor pijanci, bodo požrti kakor popolnoma suho strnišče.
11 Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
Nekdo je izšel iz tebe, ki si je zoper Gospoda domišljal hudobijo, zloben svetovalec.
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.
Tako govori Gospod: »Čeprav so tihi in prav tako številni, vendar bodo tako posekani, ko bo šel skozi. Čeprav sem te prizadel, te ne bom več prizadel.«
13 Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
Kajti sedaj bom zlomil njegov jarem iznad tebe in tvoje vezi razpočil narazen.
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.”
Gospod je glede tebe dal zapoved, da se ne bo več sejalo iz tvojega imena. Iz hiše tvojih bogov bom iztrebil izrezljano podobo in ulito podobo. Pripravil ti bom grob; kajti hudoben si.
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.
Poglej na gorah stopala tistega, ki prinaša dobre novice, ki razglaša mir! Oh Juda, ohranjaj svoje slovesne praznike, izpolni svoje zaobljube, kajti zlobni ne bo šel več skozte; popolnoma je uničen.
