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
This is the burden against 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
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and 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; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath 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 バシヤン及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 dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
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 before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.
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 withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
7 ヱホバは善なる者にして患難の時の要害なり 彼は己に倚頼む者を善知たまふ
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who 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 overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
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
Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a 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 they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is 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
From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
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 我前にはなんじを苦めたれども重て汝を苦めじ
This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
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 I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
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
The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
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
Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
