那鸿书 1
1 论尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。
The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 耶和华是忌邪施报的 神。 耶和华施报大有忿怒； 向他的敌人施报， 向他的仇敌怀怒。
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
3 耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力， 万不以有罪的为无罪。 他乘旋风和暴风而来， 云彩为他脚下的尘土。
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 他斥责海，使海干了， 使一切江河干涸。 巴珊和迦密的树林衰残； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰残了。
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
5 大山因他震动； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其间的也都如此。
The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
6 他发忿恨，谁能立得住呢？ 他发烈怒，谁能当得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火倾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 耶和华本为善， 在患难的日子为人的保障， 并且认得那些投靠他的人。
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
8 但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微， 又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。
But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
9 尼尼微人哪，设何谋攻击耶和华呢？ 他必将你们灭绝净尽； 灾难不再兴起。
What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 你们像丛杂的荆棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。
For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
11 有一人从你那里出来， 图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。
Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
12 耶和华如此说： 尼尼微虽然势力充足，人数繁多， 也被剪除，归于无有。 犹大啊，我虽然使你受苦， 却不再使你受苦。
This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭， 扭开他的绳索。
Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
14 耶和华已经出令，指着尼尼微说： 你名下的人必不留后； 我必从你神的庙中除灭雕刻的偶像和铸造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你归于坟墓。
Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
15 看哪，有报好信传平安之人的脚登山，说： 犹大啊，可以守你的节期， 还你所许的愿吧！ 因为那恶人不再从你中间经过， 他已灭绝净尽了。
Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
