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.
God is jealous, and the LORD avengeth; the LORD avengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take 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.
The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD 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 burned at his presence, even the world, and all that dwell in it.
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 fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 Dobar je Gospod, grad je u nevolji, i poznaje one koji se uzdaju u nj.
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 Ali æe silnom poplavom uèiniti kraj mjestu njezinu, i tama æe goniti neprijatelje njegove.
But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of its place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 Šta smišljate Gospodu? on æe uèiniti kraj; neæe se dva puta podignuti pogibao.
What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter 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 while they are entangled together as thorns, and while they are drunk as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 Iz tebe je izašao koji smišlja zlo Gospodu, savjetnik nevaljao.
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
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 the LORD; Though they are quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 Nego æu sada slomiti jaram njegov s tebe, i pokidaæu tvoje okove.
For now I will break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder.
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 the LORD hath given a 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 proclaimeth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
