Nahum 1
1 Proročanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viđenja Nahuma Elkošanina.
A revelation about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osvećuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osvećuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.
3 Jahve je spor u gnjevu, ali silan u moći. Ne, Jahve neće pustiti krivca nekažnjena. U vihoru i oluji put je njegov, oblaci su prašina koju podižu njegovi koraci.
Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel languish. The flower of Lebanon languishes.
5 Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.
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 Tko može izdržati pred bijesom njegovim? Tko će odoljeti pred gnjevnom srdžbom njegovom? Jarost se njegova kao vatra izlijeva i litice se pred njim kidaju.
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 Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utječu
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit će one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit će svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.
But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9 Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neće dva puta podići.
What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. Affliction won’t rise up the second time.
10 Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit će potpuno smlavljeni.
For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
11 Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.
One has gone out of you who devises evil against Yahweh, who counsels wickedness.
12 Jahve ovako govori: “Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit će pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neću te odsada ponižavati.
Yahweh 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 A sada, razbit ću jaram koji te steže, raskidat ću tvoje okove.”
Now I will break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds apart.”
14 Protiv tebe Jahve naređuje: “Neće više biti roda tvoga imena, iz hrama tvojih bogova istrijebit ću likove rezane i livene, a od tvog groba ruglo ću učiniti.”
Yahweh 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 Gledajte, preko gora hrli glasnik, on naviješta: “Spasenje!” Svetkuj svoje blagdane, Judo, ispuni svoje zavjete, jer Belijal više neće prolaziti po tebi, on je sasvim zatrt.
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.
