Nachuma 1
1 Spriedums par Ninivi. Nakuma, tā Elkozieša, parādīšanas grāmata.
[I am] Nahum, from Elkosh [village]. [This is] a message about Nineveh [city, the capital of Assyria that was given] to me in a vision [by Yahweh].
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.
Yahweh our God (is jealous/does not want people to worship any other god). He is very angry [with those who worship other gods], and he gets revenge [DOU] [on all] those who oppose him [DOU].
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 does not quickly become angry; but he is very powerful, and he will certainly punish [LIT] those who have done evil things [MTY]. He shows his power by sending whirlwinds and storms, and clouds are [like] [MET] the dust [stirred up by] his feet.
4 Viņš rāj jūru, un tā izsīkst, Viņš izžāvē visas upes; Basana un Karmels vīst, arī Lībanus zaļums nokalst.
When he commands oceans and rivers to become dry, they dry up. [He causes the grass in the fields in] the Bashan [region] and [on the slopes of] Carmel [Mountain] to wither, [and causes] the flowers in Lebanon to fade.
5 Kalni Viņa priekšā dreb, un pakalni izkūst, zeme trīc Viņa priekšā un pasaule un visi, kas tur dzīvo.
When he appears, [it is as though] the mountains shake and the hills melt; the earth quakes and [the people on] the earth tremble.
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.
There is no one [RHQ] who can resist him when he becomes extremely angry; there is no one [RHQ] who can survive when his anger is very hot. When he is very angry, [it is as though] his anger is like [SIM] a blazing fire, and [it is as though] mountains are shattered into pieces.
7 Tas Kungs ir labs, patvērums bēdu dienā, Viņš pazīst tos, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
8 Bet ar lielu lieliem plūdiem Viņš iznīcinās viņas(Ninives) vietu, un tumsība vajās Savus(Viņa) ienaidniekus.
But he will get rid of his enemies; he will be to them [like] [MET] a flood that destroys everything. He will chase his enemies into the darkness [of the place where the dead are].
9 Ko jūs domājat pret To Kungu? Viņš darīs galu; bēdas divreiz necelsies.
[So], it is useless [RHQ] for you [people of Nineveh] to plot against Yahweh. He will not [need to] strike you two times to destroy you; he will destroy you [by striking you only once].
10 Jo lai tie ir sapinušies kā ērkšķi un pilni kā mucas, tie taps pavisam aprīti kā sausi rugāji.
[It will be as though his enemies] are tangled in thorns, and they will stagger like people who have drunk a lot of wine. They will be burned up like [SIM] a fire completely burns up stubble/straw.
11 No tevis(Ninive) ir izgājis, kas ļaunu domā pret To Kungu, nesās ar negantu padomu.
In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
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.
But this is what Yahweh says [about you Israeli people]: “Although the people of Assyria have very many people and their army is very powerful, they will be destroyed and will disappear. [I say to my people in Judah, ] ‘have [already] punished you, but I will not punish you again.
13 Bet nu Es viņa jūgu no tevis salauzīšu un saraušu tavas saites,
Now I will cause the [people of Assyria] to no longer control/oppress you [MET]; [it will be as though] I will tear off the shackles/chains on your [hands and feet].”
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.
[And this is what] Yahweh also declares about you people of Nineveh: “You will not have any descendants who will continue to have your family names. And I will destroy all the statues of your gods that were carved or formed in molds. I will cause you [to be killed and] sent to your graves, because you are vile/despicable!”
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.
[You people of Judah, ] look! A messenger will be coming across the mountains, and he [SYN] will be bringing good news [to you]. He will be declaring [that you will now have] peace [because Assyria will have been conquered]. [So, ] celebrate your festivals, and do what you solemnly promised to do [when your enemies were threatening to attack you], because your wicked [enemies] will not invade your country again, [because] they will be completely destroyed.
