Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
論尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鴻所得的默示。
2 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.
耶和華是忌邪施報的上帝。 耶和華施報大有忿怒； 向他的敵人施報， 向他的仇敵懷怒。
3 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.
耶和華不輕易發怒，大有能力， 萬不以有罪的為無罪。 他乘旋風和暴風而來， 雲彩為他腳下的塵土。
4 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.
他斥責海，使海乾了， 使一切江河乾涸。 巴珊和迦密的樹林衰殘； 黎巴嫩的花草也衰殘了。
5 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.
大山因他震動； 小山也都消化。 大地在他面前突起； 世界和住在其間的也都如此。
6 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.
他發忿恨，誰能立得住呢？ 他發烈怒，誰能當得起呢？ 他的忿怒如火傾倒； 磐石因他崩裂。
7 The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
耶和華本為善， 在患難的日子為人的保障， 並且認得那些投靠他的人。
8 And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
但他必以漲溢的洪水淹沒尼尼微， 又驅逐仇敵進入黑暗。
9 What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
尼尼微人哪，設何謀攻擊耶和華呢？ 他必將你們滅絕淨盡； 災難不再興起。
10 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.
你們像叢雜的荊棘， 像喝醉了的人， 又如枯乾的碎詡全然燒滅。
11 Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.
有一人從你那裏出來， 圖謀邪惡，設惡計攻擊耶和華。
12 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.
耶和華如此說： 尼尼微雖然勢力充足，人數繁多， 也被剪除，歸於無有。 猶大啊，我雖然使你受苦， 卻不再使你受苦。
13 And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
現在我必從你頸項上折斷他的軛， 扭開他的繩索。
14 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.
耶和華已經出令，指着尼尼微說： 你名下的人必不留後； 我必從你神的廟中除滅雕刻的偶像和鑄造的偶像； 我必因你鄙陋，使你歸於墳墓。
15 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.
看哪，有報好信傳平安之人的腳登山，說： 猶大啊，可以守你的節期， 還你所許的願吧！ 因為那惡人不再從你中間經過， 他已滅絕淨盡了。
