Nahum 1
1 The burden of Nineueh. The booke of the vision of Nahum the Elkeshite.
Proročanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viđenja Nahuma Elkošanina.
2 God is ielous, and the Lord reuengeth: the Lord reuengeth: euen the Lord of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his aduersaries, and he reserueth wrath for his enemies.
Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osvećuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osvećuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.
3 The Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely cleare the wicked: the Lord hath his way in ye whirlewind, and in the storme, and the cloudes are the dust of his feete.
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.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and dryeth it, and he dryeth vp all the riuers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the floure of Lebanon is wasted.
Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!
5 The mountaines tremble for him, and the hilles melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea, the worlde, and all that dwell therein.
Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.
6 Who can stande before his wrath? or who can abide in the fiercenesse of his wrath? his wrath is powred out like fire, and the rockes are broken by him.
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.
7 The Lord is good and as a strong hold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utječu
8 But passing ouer as with a flood, he will vtterly destroy the place thereof, and darknesse shall pursue his enemies.
kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit će one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit će svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.
9 What doe ye imagine against the Lord? he wil make an vtter destruction: affliction shall not rise vp the seconde time.
Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neće dva puta podići.
10 For he shall come as vnto thornes folden one in another, and as vnto drunkards in their drunkennesse: they shall be deuoured as stubble fully dryed.
Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit će potpuno smlavljeni.
11 There commeth one out of thee that imagineth euill against the Lord, euen a wicked counsellour.
Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.
12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall passe by: though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Jahve ovako govori: “Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit će pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neću te odsada ponižavati.
13 For nowe I will breake his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
A sada, razbit ću jaram koji te steže, raskidat ću tvoje okove.”
14 And the Lord hath giuen a commandement concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sowen: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the grauen, and the molten image: I will make it thy graue for thee, for thou art vile.
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.”
15 Beholde vpon the mountaines the feete of him that declareth, and publisheth peace: O Iudah, keepe thy solemne feastes, perfourme thy vowes: for the wicked shall no more passe thorowe thee: he is vtterly cut off.
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.
