נחום 1
| מַשָּׂא נִֽינְוֵה סֵפֶר חֲזוֹן נַחוּם הָאֶלְקֹשִֽׁי׃ | 1 |
An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
| אֵל קַנּוֹא וְנֹקֵם יְהוָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה וּבַעַל חֵמָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה לְצָרָיו וְנוֹטֵר הוּא 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.
| יְהֹוָה אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם וגדול־וּגְדָל־כֹּחַ וְנַקֵּה לֹא יְנַקֶּה יְהוָה בְּסוּפָה וּבִשְׂעָרָה דַּרְכּוֹ וְעָנָן אֲבַק 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.
| גּוֹעֵר בַּיָּם וַֽיַּבְּשֵׁהוּ וְכָל־הַנְּהָרוֹת הֶֽחֱרִיב אֻמְלַל בָּשָׁן וְכַרְמֶל וּפֶרַח לְבָנוֹן אֻמְלָֽל׃ | 4 |
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
| הָרִים רָעֲשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ וְהַגְּבָעוֹת הִתְמֹגָגוּ וַתִּשָּׂא הָאָרֶץ מִפָּנָיו וְתֵבֵל וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֵי 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.
| לִפְנֵי זַעְמוֹ מִי יַֽעֲמוֹד וּמִי יָקוּם בַּחֲרוֹן אַפּוֹ חֲמָתוֹ נִתְּכָה כָאֵשׁ וְהַצֻּרִים נִתְּצוּ 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.
| טוֹב יְהוָה לְמָעוֹז בְּיוֹם צָרָה וְיֹדֵעַ חֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃ | 7 |
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
| וּבְשֶׁטֶף עֹבֵר כָּלָה יַעֲשֶׂה מְקוֹמָהּ וְאֹיְבָיו 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־תְּחַשְּׁבוּן אֶל־יְהוָה כָּלָה הוּא עֹשֶׂה לֹֽא־תָקוּם פַּעֲמַיִם צָרָֽה׃ | 9 |
What do you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
| כִּי עַד־סִירִים סְבֻכִים וּכְסָבְאָם סְבוּאִים אֻכְּלוּ כְּקַשׁ יָבֵשׁ מָלֵֽא׃ | 10 |
For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
| מִמֵּךְ יָצָא חֹשֵׁב עַל־יְהוָה רָעָה יֹעֵץ בְּלִיָּֽעַל׃ | 11 |
There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels wickedness.
| כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אִם־שְׁלֵמִים וְכֵן רַבִּים וְכֵן נָגֹזּוּ וְעָבָר וְעִנִּתִךְ לֹא אֲעַנֵּךְ עֽוֹד׃ | 12 |
Thus says the LORD: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
| וְעַתָּה אֶשְׁבֹּר מֹטֵהוּ מֵֽעָלָיִךְ וּמוֹסְרֹתַיִךְ אֲנַתֵּֽק׃ | 13 |
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
| וְצִוָּה עָלֶיךָ יְהוָה לֹֽא־יִזָּרַע מִשִּׁמְךָ עוֹד מִבֵּית אֱלֹהֶיךָ אַכְרִית פֶּסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה אָשִׂים קִבְרֶךָ כִּי קַלּֽוֹתָ׃ | 14 |
The LORD has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
| הִנֵּה עַל־הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלוֹם חָגִּי יְהוּדָה חַגַּיִךְ שַׁלְּמִי נְדָרָיִךְ כִּי לֹא יוֹסִיף עוֹד לעבור־לַֽעֲבָר־בָּךְ בְּלִיַּעַל כֻּלֹּה נִכְרָֽת׃ | 15 |
Look, 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.
