ナホム書 1
1 ニネベに關る重き預言 エルコシ人ナホムの異象の書
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 ヱホバは妬みかつ仇を報ゆる神 ヱホバは仇を報ゆる者また忿怒の主 ヱホバは己に逆らふ者に仇を報い己に敵する者にむかひて憤恨を含む者なり
God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his enemies.
3 ヱホバは怒ることの遲く能力の大なる者 また罰すべき者をば必ず赦すことを爲ざる者 ヱホバの道は旋風に在り 大風に在り 雲はその足の塵なり
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 彼海を指斥て之を乾かし河々をしてことごとく涸しむ バシヤンおよびカルメルの草木は枯れレバノンの花は凋む
He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 彼の前には山々ゆるぎ嶺々溶く 彼の前には地墳上り世界およびその中に住む者皆ふきあげらる
The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yes, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 誰かその憤恨に當ることを得ん 誰かその燃る忿怒に堪ることを得ん 其震怒のそそぐこと火のごとし 巖も之がために裂く
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 ヱホバは善なる者にして患難の時の要害なり 彼は己に倚賴む者を善知たまふ
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them that trust in him.
8 彼みなぎる洪水をもてその處を全く滅し己に敵する者を幽暗處に逐やりたまはん
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 汝らヱホバに對ひて何を謀るや 彼全く滅したまふべし 患難かさねて起らじ
What do you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 彼等むすびからまれる荊棘のごとくなるとも酒に浸りをるとも乾ける藁のごとくに焚つくさるべし
For while they be entwined together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 ヱホバに對ひて惡事を謀る者一人汝の中より出て邪曲なる事を勸む
There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a wicked counselor.
12 ヱホバかく言たまふ 彼等全くしてその數夥多しかるとも必ず芟たふされて皆絶ん 我前にはなんぢを苦めたれども重て汝を苦めじ
Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 いま我かれが汝に負せし軛を碎き汝の縛を切はなすべし
For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds in sunder.
14 ヱホバ汝の事につきて命令を下す 汝の名を負ふ者再び播るること有じ 汝の神々の室より我雕像および鑄像を除き絶べし 我汝の墓を備へん 汝輕ければなり
And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
15 嘉音信を傳ふる者の脚山の上に見ゆ 彼平安を宣ぶ ユダよ汝の節筵を行ひ汝の誓願を果せ 邪曲なる者重て汝の中を通らざるべし 彼は全く絶る
Behold on the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
