Nachuma 1
1 Spriedums par Ninivi. Nakuma, tā Elkozieša, parādīšanas grāmata.
The oracle, on Nineveh, —the scroll of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 Bargs Dievs un atriebējs ir Tas Kungs, Tas Kungs ir atriebējs un ļoti bargs, Tas Kungs ir atriebējs Saviem pretiniekiem, un atmaksā Saviem ienaidniekiem.
A GOD jealous and avenging, is Yahweh, an avenger, is Yahweh, and a lord of wrath, an avenger, is Yahweh towards his adversaries, and, a retainer [of anger], is he to his foes.
3 Tas Kungs ir lēnprātīgs un liels spēkā, bet nepamet nesodītu; Tā Kunga ceļš ir viesulī un vētrā, un padebesī ir Viņa kāju pīšļi,
Yahweh, is slow to anger, but great in vigour, He will not leave, unpunished, as for Yahweh, in storm-wind and in tempest, is his way, and, clouds, are the dust of his feet.
4 Viņš rāj jūru, un tā izsīkst, Viņš izžāvē visas upes; Basana un Karmels vīst, arī Lībanus zaļums nokalst.
Who rebuketh the sea and hath made it dry, and, all the streams, hath he dried up, —withered are Bashan and Carmel, Even the bloom of Lebanon, is withered:
5 Kalni Viņa priekšā dreb, un pakalni izkūst, zeme trīc Viņa priekšā un pasaule un visi, kas tur dzīvo.
Mountains, have trembled because of him, and, the hills, have melted, —and the earth, hath lifted itself up, at his presence, the world also, and all who dwell therein.
6 Kas pastāvēs priekš Viņa dusmības, un kas pacelsies Viņa bardzības karstumā? Viņa dusmība ir izgāzta kā uguns, un akmens kalni no Viņa top sašķelti.
Before his indignation, who shall stand? And who shall abide the glow of his anger? His wrath, hath been poured forth like fire, and, the rocks, have been broken down because of him.
7 Tas Kungs ir labs, patvērums bēdu dienā, Viņš pazīst tos, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
Good is Yahweh, as a protection in the day of distress, —and one who acknowledgeth them who seek refuge in him.
8 Bet ar lielu lieliem plūdiem Viņš iznīcinās viņas(Ninives) vietu, un tumsība vajās Savus(Viņa) ienaidniekus.
But, with an overflow rolling on, a full end, will he make of them who rise up against him, —and, his foes, will he pursue into darkness.
9 Ko jūs domājat pret To Kungu? Viņš darīs galu; bēdas divreiz necelsies.
What can ye devise against Yahweh? A full end, is he making, —Distress, shall not rise up twice:
10 Jo lai tie ir sapinušies kā ērkšķi un pilni kā mucas, tie taps pavisam aprīti kā sausi rugāji.
Though they were like thorns intertwined, and as drunkards drenched with their drink, yet have they been devoured, like stubble fully dry.
11 No tevis(Ninive) ir izgājis, kas ļaunu domā pret To Kungu, nesās ar negantu padomu.
Out of thee, hath one come forth—plotting, against Yahweh, wickedness, —A counselor of the Abandoned One.
12 Tā saka Tas Kungs: jebšu tiem labi izdodas, un jebšu viņu ir daudz, taču tie taps nocirsti un būs pagalam. Es tevi(Jūda) gan esmu spaidījis, bet Es tevi vairs nespaidīšu.
Thus, saith Yahweh, Though they be in full force, and so in great numbers, yet, even so, have they been cut off, and have passed away, —If I humble thee [once], I will not humble thee again.
13 Bet nu Es viņa jūgu no tevis salauzīšu un saraušu tavas saites,
Now, therefore, will I break his yoke from off thee, —and, thy fetters, will I tear off.
14 Bet pret tevi Tas Kungs ir pavēlējis, ka no tava vārda vairs nebūs dzimums; no tava dieva nama Es izdeldēšu grieztas un lietas bildes; Es tev rakšu tavu kapu, jo tu esi viegls atrasts.
Then will Yahweh give command concerning thee, None of thy name shall be sown any more, —out of the house of thy gods, will I cut off carved image and molten image, I will appoint thy grave, for thou art of little esteem.
15 Redzi, uz kalniem prieka vēstnešu kājas, kas mieru sludina; svētī savus svētkus, ak Jūda, maksā savus solījumus; jo tas negantais pie tevis vairs nenāks, viņš ir pavisam izdeldēts.
Lo! upon the mountains, The feet of one, who bringeth Good Tidings! who publisheth Prosperity! Celebrate, O Judah, thy pilgrim festivals, fulfil thy vows, for, not again, any more, shall the Abandoned One, pass through thee, he hath been wholly cut off.
