נַחוּם 1
| מַשָּׂ֖א נִֽינְוֵ֑ה סֵ֧פֶר חֲזֹ֛ון נַח֖וּם הָאֶלְקֹשִֽׁי׃ | 1 |
A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
| אֵ֣ל קַנֹּ֤וא וְנֹקֵם֙ יְהוָ֔ה נֹקֵ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה וּבַ֣עַל חֵמָ֑ה נֹקֵ֤ם יְהוָה֙ לְצָרָ֔יו וְנֹוטֵ֥ר ה֖וּא לְאֹיְבָֽיו׃ | 2 |
The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
| יְהֹוָ֗ה אֶ֤רֶךְ אַפַּ֙יִם֙ וּגְדֹול־ (וּגְדָל)־כֹּ֔חַ וְנַקֵּ֖ה לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֑ה יְהוָ֗ה בְּסוּפָ֤ה וּבִשְׂעָרָה֙ דַּרְכֹּ֔ו וְעָנָ֖ן אֲבַ֥ק רַגְלָֽיו׃ | 3 |
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
| גֹּועֵ֤ר בַּיָּם֙ וַֽיַּבְּשֵׁ֔הוּ וְכָל־הַנְּהָרֹ֖ות הֶֽחֱרִ֑יב אֻמְלַ֤ל בָּשָׁן֙ וְכַרְמֶ֔ל וּפֶ֥רַח לְבָנֹ֖ון אֻמְלָֽל׃ | 4 |
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
| הָרִים֙ רָעֲשׁ֣וּ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ וְהַגְּבָעֹ֖ות הִתְמֹגָ֑גוּ וַתִּשָּׂ֤א הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ מִפָּנָ֔יו וְתֵבֵ֖ל וְכָל־יֹ֥שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ | 5 |
The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who dwell in it.
| לִפְנֵ֤י זַעְמֹו֙ מִ֣י יַֽעֲמֹ֔וד וּמִ֥י יָק֖וּם בַּחֲרֹ֣ון אַפֹּ֑ו חֲמָתֹו֙ נִתְּכָ֣ה כָאֵ֔שׁ וְהַצֻּרִ֖ים נִתְּצ֥וּ מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ | 6 |
Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
| טֹ֣וב יְהוָ֔ה לְמָעֹ֖וז בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה וְיֹדֵ֖עַ חֹ֥סֵי בֹֽו׃ | 7 |
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
| וּבְשֶׁ֣טֶף עֹבֵ֔ר כָּלָ֖ה יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה מְקֹומָ֑הּ וְאֹיְבָ֖יו יְרַדֶּף־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ | 8 |
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
| מַה־תְּחַשְּׁבוּן֙ אֶל־יְהוָ֔ה כָּלָ֖ה ה֣וּא עֹשֶׂ֑ה לֹֽא־תָק֥וּם פַּעֲמַ֖יִם צָרָֽה׃ | 9 |
What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction will not rise up the second time.
| כִּ֚י עַד־סִירִ֣ים סְבֻכִ֔ים וּכְסָבְאָ֖ם סְבוּאִ֑ים אֻ֨כְּל֔וּ כְּקַ֥שׁ יָבֵ֖שׁ מָלֵֽא׃ | 10 |
For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
| מִמֵּ֣ךְ יָצָ֔א חֹשֵׁ֥ב עַל־יְהוָ֖ה רָעָ֑ה יֹעֵ֖ץ בְּלִיָּֽעַל׃ ס | 11 |
One has gone out of you who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
| כֹּ֣ה ׀ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה אִם־שְׁלֵמִים֙ וְכֵ֣ן רַבִּ֔ים וְכֵ֥ן נָגֹ֖זּוּ וְעָבָ֑ר וְעִ֨נִּתִ֔ךְ לֹ֥א אֲעַנֵּ֖ךְ עֹֽוד׃ | 12 |
The LORD says: “Though they are in full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
| וְעַתָּ֕ה אֶשְׁבֹּ֥ר מֹטֵ֖הוּ מֵֽעָלָ֑יִךְ וּמֹוסְרֹתַ֖יִךְ אֲנַתֵּֽק׃ | 13 |
Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
| וְצִוָּ֤ה עָלֶ֙יךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה לֹֽא־יִזָּרַ֥ע מִשִּׁמְךָ֖ עֹ֑וד מִבֵּ֨ית אֱלֹהֶ֜יךָ אַכְרִ֨ית פֶּ֧סֶל וּמַסֵּכָ֛ה אָשִׂ֥ים קִבְרֶ֖ךָ כִּ֥י קַלֹּֽותָ׃ פ | 14 |
The LORD has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.”
| הִנֵּ֨ה עַל־הֶהָרִ֜ים רַגְלֵ֤י מְבַשֵּׂר֙ מַשְׁמִ֣יעַ שָׁלֹ֔ום חָגִּ֧י יְהוּדָ֛ה חַגַּ֖יִךְ שַׁלְּמִ֣י נְדָרָ֑יִךְ כִּי֩ לֹ֨א יֹוסִ֥יף עֹ֛וד לַעֲבֹור־ (לַֽעֲבָר)־בָּ֥ךְ בְּלִיַּ֖עַל כֻּלֹּ֥ה נִכְרָֽת׃ | 15 |
Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
