Naum 1
1 Breme Nineviji; knjiga od utvare Nauma Elkošanina.
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Bog je revnitelj i Gospod je osvetnik; osvetnik je Gospod i gnjevi se; Gospod se sveti protivnicima svojim, i drži gnjev prema neprijateljima svojim.
Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
3 Gospod je spor na gnjev i velike je moæi; ali nikako ne pravda krivca; put je Gospodnji u vihoru i buri, i oblaci su prah od nogu njegovijeh.
Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear [the guilty]: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Zapreæuje moru i isušuje ga, i sve rijeke isušuje, vene Vasan i Karmil, i cvijet Vasanski vene.
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 Gore se tresu od njega, i humovi se rastapaju, a zemlja gori pred njim i vasiljena i sve što živi u njoj.
The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Pred gnjevom njegovijem ko æe se održati? i ko æe se oprijeti jarosti gnjeva njegova? jarost se njegova izlijeva kao oganj, i stijene se raspadaju pred njim.
Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
7 Dobar je Gospod, grad je u nevolji, i poznaje one koji se uzdaju u nj.
Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him.
8 Ali æe silnom poplavom uèiniti kraj mjestu njezinu, i tama æe goniti neprijatelje njegove.
But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 Šta smišljate Gospodu? on æe uèiniti kraj; neæe se dva puta podignuti pogibao.
What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 Jer kao trnje spleteni i kao od vina pijani proždrijeæe se kao suha slama.
For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
11 Iz tebe je izašao koji smišlja zlo Gospodu, savjetnik nevaljao.
There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.
12 Ovako veli Gospod: ako i jesu u sili i mnogo ih ima, opet æe se isjeæi i proæi. Muèio sam te, neæu te više muèiti.
Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 Nego æu sada slomiti jaram njegov s tebe, i pokidaæu tvoje okove.
And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 Ali za tebe zapovjedi Gospod da se ne sije više ime tvoje; iz doma bogova tvojih istrijebiæu likove rezane i livene; naèiniæu ti od njega grob kad budeš prezren.
And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Eto, na gorama noge onoga koji nosi dobre glase, koji oglašuje mir. Praznuj, Juda, svoje praznike, ispunjaj zavjete svoje, jer zlikovac neæe više prolaziti po tebi; sasvijem se zatro.
Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
