Nachuma 1
1 Spriedums par Ninivi. Nakuma, tā Elkozieša, parādīšanas grāmata.
A prophecy about Nineveh: the scroll of the vision that came to 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 jealous and avenging God—the Lord God is avenging and angry. The Lord takes vengeance on his enemies, he is angry with those who are hostile to him.
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 become angry, has great power, and will not leave the guilty unpunished. He walks among the whirlwind and the storm; the clouds are like dust beneath his feet.
4 Viņš rāj jūru, un tā izsīkst, Viņš izžāvē visas upes; Basana un Karmels vīst, arī Lībanus zaļums nokalst.
He commands the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither; the blossom of Lebanon fades.
5 Kalni Viņa priekšā dreb, un pakalni izkūst, zeme trīc Viņa priekšā un pasaule un visi, kas tur dzīvo.
Mountains quake in his presence; hills melt away. The earth trembles before him—the whole world and everyone who lives there.
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 can withstand his fury? Who can endure the heat of his anger? His rage pours out like molten fire; he shatters rocks to pieces.
7 Tas Kungs ir labs, patvērums bēdu dienā, Viņš pazīst tos, kas uz Viņu paļaujas.
The Lord is good, a place of safety in a time of trouble. He takes care of those who place their trust in him,
8 Bet ar lielu lieliem plūdiem Viņš iznīcinās viņas(Ninives) vietu, un tumsība vajās Savus(Viņa) ienaidniekus.
but those who oppose him will be swept away by a tremendous flood to their destruction. He pursues his enemies into the darkness of death.
9 Ko jūs domājat pret To Kungu? Viņš darīs galu; bēdas divreiz necelsies.
Why are you plotting against the Lord? He will end it completely; misery won't arise twice.
10 Jo lai tie ir sapinušies kā ērkšķi un pilni kā mucas, tie taps pavisam aprīti kā sausi rugāji.
They entangle themselves like people caught in thorn bushes; they are like drunks full of drink. They will be completely burned up like dry straw.
11 No tevis(Ninive) ir izgājis, kas ļaunu domā pret To Kungu, nesās ar negantu padomu.
One of you is plotting evil against the Lord, someone who is planning wickedness.
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 says: Even though they are strong and numerous, they will be cut down and they will pass away. Though I have caused you trouble, I will not do so anymore.
13 Bet nu Es viņa jūgu no tevis salauzīšu un saraušu tavas saites,
Now I will break their yoke from your necks and tear away the chains which bind you.
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.
This is what the Lord has ordered concerning you. You will have no descendants to carry on your name. I will destroy the gods in your temples, all the wooden and metal idols. I am digging your grave, for you are depraved.
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.
Look! A messenger is coming over the mountains, bringing good news and proclaiming peace. Judah, celebrate your religious festivals and keep your vows, for never again will wicked enemies invade your land—they will be completely destroyed.
