Nahum Propheta 1
1 onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei
Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis
A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is] Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies.
3 Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius et nebulae pulvis pedum eius
Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is] His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet.
4 increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit
He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel, Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing.
5 montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie eius et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo
Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And the world and all dwelling in it.
6 ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit et quis resistet in ira furoris eius indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis et petrae dissolutae sunt ab eo
Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.
7 bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se
Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress. And He knoweth those trusting in Him.
8 et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae
And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue.
9 quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio
What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making, arise not twice doth distress.
10 quia sicut spinae se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena
For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried.
11 ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans praevaricationem
From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah — a worthless counsellor.
12 haec dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra
Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more.
13 et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam
And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do draw away.
14 et praecipiet super te Dominus non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile et conflatile ponam sepulchrum tuum quia inhonoratus es
And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, 'No more of thy name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast been vile.
15 ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis et adnuntiantis pacem celebra Iuda festivitates tuas et redde vota tua quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial universus interiit
Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings, sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the worthless, He hath been completely cut off!
