Nahum Propheta 1
1 onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei
An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis
YHWH is a jealous God and avenges. YHWH avenges and is full of wrath. YHWH takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
3 Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius et nebulae pulvis pedum eius
YHWH is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. YHWH has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit
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 montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie eius et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo
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.
6 ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit et quis resistet in ira furoris eius indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis et petrae dissolutae sunt ab eo
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.
7 bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se
YHWH is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio
What do you plot against YHWH? He will make a full end. Affliction won't rise up the second time.
10 quia sicut spinae se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena
For entangled like thorns, and drunk as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11 ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans praevaricationem
There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against YHWH, who counsels wickedness.
12 haec dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra
Thus says YHWH: "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.
13 et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam
Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart."
14 et praecipiet super te Dominus non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile et conflatile ponam sepulchrum tuum quia inhonoratus es
YHWH 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."
15 ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis et adnuntiantis pacem celebra Iuda festivitates tuas et redde vota tua quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial universus interiit
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.
