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 Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
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 avenges; the Lord avenges with wrath; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he cuts off 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 long-suffering, and his power is great, and the Lord will not hold any guiltless: his way is in destruction and in the whirlwind, 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 バシヤン及びカルメルの草木は枯れレバノンの花は凋む
He threatens the sea, and dries it up, and exhausts all the rivers: the land of Basan, and Carmel are brought low, and the flourishing [trees] of Libanus have come to nought.
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 are shaken, and the earth recoils at his presence, [even] the world, and all that dwell in it.
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 shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nought kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
7 ヱホバは善なる者にして患難の時の要害なり 彼は己に倚頼む者を善知たまふ
The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence 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: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and 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 ye devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same 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 [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and 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
Out of thee shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
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
Thus saith the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of thee shall not be heard any 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
And now will I break his rod from off thee, and will burst [thy] bonds.
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 shall give a command concerning thee; there shall no more of thy name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of thy god, and the molten [images]: I will make thy grave; for [they are] swift.
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 upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep thy feasts, pay thy vows: for they shall no more pass through thee to [thy] decay.
