Nachuma 1
1 Spriedums par Ninivi. Nakuma, tā Elkozieša, parādīšanas grāmata.
The word about Nineveh. The book 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.
The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
3 Tas Kungs ir lēnprātīgs un liels spēkā, bet nepamet nesodītu; Tā Kunga ceļš ir viesulī un vētrā, un padebesī ir Viņa kāju pīšļi,
The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the 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.
He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.
5 Kalni Viņa priekšā dreb, un pakalni izkūst, zeme trīc Viņa priekšā un pasaule un visi, kas tur dzīvo.
The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.
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.
Who may keep his place before his wrath? and who may undergo the heat of his passion? his wrath is let loose like fire and the rocks are broken open by him.
7 Tas Kungs ir labs, patvērums bēdu dienā, Viņš pazīst tos, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
8 Bet ar lielu lieliem plūdiem Viņš iznīcinās viņas(Ninives) vietu, un tumsība vajās Savus(Viņa) ienaidniekus.
But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.
9 Ko jūs domājat pret To Kungu? Viņš darīs galu; bēdas divreiz necelsies.
What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
10 Jo lai tie ir sapinušies kā ērkšķi un pilni kā mucas, tie taps pavisam aprīti kā sausi rugāji.
For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
11 No tevis(Ninive) ir izgājis, kas ļaunu domā pret To Kungu, nesās ar negantu padomu.
One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
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.
This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
13 Bet nu Es viņa jūgu no tevis salauzīšu un saraušu tavas saites,
And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
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.
The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
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.
See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
