Nachuma 1
1 Spriedums par Ninivi. Nakuma, tā Elkozieša, parādīšanas grāmata.
The burden of Nineve: the book of the vision of Naum the Elkesite.
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.
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 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 longsuffering, 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 Viņš rāj jūru, un tā izsīkst, Viņš izžāvē visas upes; Basana un Karmels vīst, arī Lībanus zaļums nokalst.
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 nothing.
5 Kalni Viņa priekšā dreb, un pakalni izkūst, zeme trīc Viņa priekšā un pasaule un visi, kas tur dzīvo.
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 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 shall stand before his anger? and who shall withstand in the anger of his wrath? his wrath brings to nothing kingdoms, and the rocks are burst asunder by him.
7 Tas Kungs ir labs, patvērums bēdu dienā, Viņš pazīst tos, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
The Lord is good to them that wait on him in the day of affliction; and he knows them that reverence him.
8 Bet ar lielu lieliem plūdiem Viņš iznīcinās viņas(Ninives) vietu, un tumsība vajās Savus(Viņa) ienaidniekus.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end: darkness shall pursue those that rise up against [him] and his enemies.
9 Ko jūs domājat pret To Kungu? Viņš darīs galu; bēdas divreiz necelsies.
What do you devise against the Lord? he will make a complete end: he will not take vengeance by affliction twice at the same time.
10 Jo lai tie ir sapinušies kā ērkšķi un pilni kā mucas, tie taps pavisam aprīti kā sausi rugāji.
For [the enemy] shall be laid bare even to the foundation, and shall be devoured as twisted yew, and as stubble fully dry.
11 No tevis(Ninive) ir izgājis, kas ļaunu domā pret To Kungu, nesās ar negantu padomu.
Out of you shall proceed a device against the Lord, counselling evil things hostile [to him].
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 says the Lord who rules over many waters, Even thus shall they be sent away, and the report of you shall not be heard any more.
13 Bet nu Es viņa jūgu no tevis salauzīšu un saraušu tavas saites,
And now will I break his rod from off you, and will burst [your] bonds.
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 the Lord shall give a command concerning you; there shall no more of your name be scattered: I will utterly destroy the graven [images] out of the house of your god, and the molten [images]: I will make your grave; for [they are] swift.
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.
Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings glad tidings, and publishes peace! O Juda, keep your feasts, pay your vows: for they shall no more pass through you to [your] decay.
