Nahum 1
1 Una revelación sobre Nínive. El libro de la visión de Nahúm el Elcosita.
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Yahvé es un Dios celoso y vengador. Yahvé se venga y está lleno de ira. Yahvé se venga de sus adversarios, y mantiene la ira contra sus enemigos.
God is a rival, and the Lord is avenging. The Lord is avenging, and one who applies wrath. The Lord is avenging with his enemies, and he becomes angry with his adversaries.
3 Yahvé es lento para la ira y grande en poder, y de ninguna manera dejará impune al culpable. Yahvé se abre paso en el torbellino y en la tormenta, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
The Lord is patient and great in strength, and those who are not clean, he makes innocent. The Lord is in a tempest, and his way is a whirlwind, and the clouds are dust at his feet.
4 Reprende el mar y lo seca, y seca todos los ríos. El Basán y el Carmelo languidecen. La flor del Líbano languidece.
He is the one who rebukes the sea, and who dries it up, and who leads all the rivers to the desert. Basan has been weakened, and also Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon has languished.
5 Los montes tiemblan ante él, y las colinas se derriten. La tierra tiembla ante su presencia, el mundo y todos los que lo habitan.
The mountains have trembled before him, and the hills have become desolate, and the earth has quaked before his face, both the world and all that dwells in it.
6 ¿Quién podrá resistir ante su indignación? ¿Quién podrá soportar el ardor de su cólera? Su ira se derrama como el fuego, y las rocas son destrozadas por él.
Who can stand firm before the face of his indignation? And who can continue against the fury of his wrath? His indignation has broken out like a fire, and the rocks have been dissolved before him.
7 El Señor es bueno, es un refugio en el día de la angustia, y conoce a los que se refugian en él.
The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
8 Pero con un diluvio desbordante, acabará por completo con su lugar, y perseguirá a sus enemigos hasta las tinieblas.
And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
9 ¿Qué tramas contra Yahvé? Él hará un final completo. La aflicción no se levantará por segunda vez.
What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
10 Porque enredados como espinas, y embriagados como con su bebida, se consumen por completo como el rastrojo seco.
For just as thorns entwine one another, so also, while they are feasting and drinking together, they will be consumed like stubble that is completely dry.
11 Ha salido de ti uno que trama el mal contra Yahvé, que aconseja la maldad.
Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.
12 Dice el Señor: “Aunque estén en plenitud de facultades y sean igualmente numerosos, así serán cortados y pasarán. Aunque te he afligido, no te afligiré más.
Thus says the Lord: If they had been perfect, and many of them so, yet still they would be pruned, and it will cross through them. I have afflicted you, and I shall afflict you no more.
13 Ahora romperé su yugo de encima de ti, y romperé sus ataduras”.
And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
14 Yahvé ha ordenado con respecto a ti: “No habrá más descendientes que lleven tu nombre. De la casa de tus dioses, cortaré la imagen grabada y la imagen fundida. Haré tu tumba, porque eres vil”.
And the Lord will place a commandment over you; nothing more from your name will be sown. From the house of your God, I will order destroyed the graven image and the molten image. I will prepare your grave, because you are not honorable.
15 ¡Mira, en los montes los pies del que trae buenas noticias, del que publica la paz! ¡Guarda tus fiestas, Judá! Cumple tus votos, porque el malvado ya no pasará por ti. Él es totalmente cortado.
Behold, over the mountains, the feet of the Evangelizer and the Announcer of peace. Judah, celebrate your festivals and keep your vows. For Belial will never again pass through you; he has completely passed away.
