Nahum 1
1 Ninova ile ilgili bildiri, Elkoşlu Nahum'un görümünü anlatan kitaptır.
[I am] Nahum, from Elkosh [village]. [This is] a message about Nineveh [city, the capital of Assyria that was given] to me in a vision [by Yahweh].
2 RAB kıskanç, öç alıcı bir Tanrı'dır. Öç alır ve gazapla doludur. Hasımlarından öç alır, Düşmanlarına karşı öfkesi süreklidir.
Yahweh our God (is jealous/does not want people to worship any other god). He is very angry [with those who worship other gods], and he gets revenge [DOU] [on all] those who oppose him [DOU].
3 RAB tez öfkelenmez ve çok güçlüdür. Suçlunun suçunu asla yanına koymaz. Geçtiği yerde kasırgalar, fırtınalar kopar. O'nun ayaklarının tozudur bulutlar.
Yahweh does not quickly become angry; but he is very powerful, and he will certainly punish [LIT] those who have done evil things [MTY]. He shows his power by sending whirlwinds and storms, and clouds are [like] [MET] the dust [stirred up by] his feet.
4 Bir buyrukla kurutur denizi, Kurutur bütün ırmakları. Solar Başan'ın, Karmel Dağı'nın yeşillikleri Ve Lübnan'ın çiçekleri.
When he commands oceans and rivers to become dry, they dry up. [He causes the grass in the fields in] the Bashan [region] and [on the slopes of] Carmel [Mountain] to wither, [and causes] the flowers in Lebanon to fade.
5 Dağlar RAB'bin önünde titrer, Erir tepeler. Yer sarsılır önünde. Dünya ve üzerinde yaşayanların tümü titrer.
When he appears, [it is as though] the mountains shake and the hills melt; the earth quakes and [the people on] the earth tremble.
6 O'nun gazabına kim karşı durabilir, Kim dayanabilir kızgın öfkesine? Ateş gibi dökülür öfkesi, Kayaları paramparça eder.
There is no one [RHQ] who can resist him when he becomes extremely angry; there is no one [RHQ] who can survive when his anger is very hot. When he is very angry, [it is as though] his anger is like [SIM] a blazing fire, and [it is as though] mountains are shattered into pieces.
7 RAB iyidir, Sığınaktır sıkıntı anında. Korur kendisine sığınanları.
But he is good; he protects [us his people] when we experience troubles. He takes care of those who trust in him.
8 Ama Ninova'yı azgın sellerle yok edecek, Düşmanlarını karanlığa sürecek.
But he will get rid of his enemies; he will be to them [like] [MET] a flood that destroys everything. He will chase his enemies into the darkness [of the place where the dead are].
9 RAB'be karşı neler tasarlarsanız, Hepsini yok edecek. İkinci kez kimse karşı koyamayacak.
[So], it is useless [RHQ] for you [people of Nineveh] to plot against Yahweh. He will not [need to] strike you two times to destroy you; he will destroy you [by striking you only once].
10 Birbirine dolaşmış dikenler gibi, Kuru anız gibi, Yanıp biteceksiniz, ey ayyaşlar.
[It will be as though his enemies] are tangled in thorns, and they will stagger like people who have drunk a lot of wine. They will be burned up like [SIM] a fire completely burns up stubble/straw.
11 Ey Ninova, RAB'be karşı kötülük tasarlayan, Şer öğütleyen kişi senden çıktı.
In Nineveh [city] there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
12 RAB diyor ki, “Asurlular güçlü ve çok olsalar bile, yok olup gidecekler. Ey halkım, seni sıkıntıya soktuysam da, bir daha sokmayacağım.
But this is what Yahweh says [about you Israeli people]: “Although the people of Assyria have very many people and their army is very powerful, they will be destroyed and will disappear. [I say to my people in Judah, ] ‘have [already] punished you, but I will not punish you again.
13 Şimdi boyunduruğunu parçalayıp üzerindeki bağları koparacağım.”
Now I will cause the [people of Assyria] to no longer control/oppress you [MET]; [it will be as though] I will tear off the shackles/chains on your [hands and feet].”
14 RAB, “Artık soyunu sürdürecek torunların olmasın” Diye buyurdu, ey Ninova. “Tanrılarının tapınağındaki oyma ve dökme putları yok edeceğim” diyor. “Mezarını hazırlayacağım. Çünkü sen aşağılıksın.”
[And this is what] Yahweh also declares about you people of Nineveh: “You will not have any descendants who will continue to have your family names. And I will destroy all the statues of your gods that were carved or formed in molds. I will cause you [to be killed and] sent to your graves, because you are vile/despicable!”
15 İşte, müjde getirenin ayakları dağları aşıp geliyor, Size esenlik haberini getiriyor. Ey Yahudalılar, bayramlarınızı kutlayın, Adak sözünüzü yerine getirin. O kötü ulusun istilasına uğramayacaksınız bir daha. Çünkü o büsbütün yok edildi.
[You people of Judah, ] look! A messenger will be coming across the mountains, and he [SYN] will be bringing good news [to you]. He will be declaring [that you will now have] peace [because Assyria will have been conquered]. [So, ] celebrate your festivals, and do what you solemnly promised to do [when your enemies were threatening to attack you], because your wicked [enemies] will not invade your country again, [because] they will be completely destroyed.
