Naum 1
1 Breme Nineviji; knjiga od utvare Nauma Elkošanina.
A revelation about 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.
The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against 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 by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has 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 rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
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 before him, and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all who 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? Who can endure the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Dobar je Gospod, grad je u nevolji, i poznaje one koji se uzdaju u nj.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 Ali æe silnom poplavom uèiniti kraj mjestu njezinu, i tama æe goniti neprijatelje njegove.
But with an overflowing 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 you plot against the LORD? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t 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 like dry stubble.
11 Iz tebe je izašao koji smišlja zlo Gospodu, savjetnik nevaljao.
One has gone out of you who devises evil against the LORD, who counsels 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.
The LORD says: “Though they are in full strength and likewise many, even so they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 Nego æu sada slomiti jaram njegov s tebe, i pokidaæu tvoje okove.
Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
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.
The LORD has commanded concerning you: “No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, I will cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are 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, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
