Nahum 1
1 A message about Nineveh, a vision which came to Nahum from Elkosh.
论尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。
2 The Lord tolerates no rivals. The Lord is vengeful and fierce in wrath. The Lord does not fail to punish his foes; the Lord is vengeful against his enemies.
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。
3 The Lord is slow to anger, great in power. The guilty will not escape his punishment. Storm tempest is his path and cloud is the dust of his feet.
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。
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up and makes all the streams run dry. Bashan and Carmel are languishing and the bloom of Lebanon is withered.
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。
5 The mountains tremble before him and the hills dissolve. The earth heaves before him, the world and all who live in it.
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。
6 Who can stand before his wrath? Who can withstand the heat of his anger? His fierce fury pours forth like fire, he shatters rocks.
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。
7 The Lord is good to those who hope in him, a place of refuge in the day of trouble.
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。
8 With rushing flood an end he makes of those who rise against him, he drives his enemies into darkness.
但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微， 又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。
9 Why do you plot against the Lord? He will end you. He only takes vengeance once.
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。
10 Thorns, tangled and drenched, they are consumed like dry stubble.
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。
11 Nineveh! From you has arisen one who plots evil against the Lord, a counsellor of wickedness.
有一人从你那里出来， 图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。
12 The Lord says: ‘Though they are many and strong, they will pass away and be gone. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more,
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。
13 and now I will break his yoke from your necks and snap your chains.’
现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭， 扭开他的绳索。
14 The Lord has given this command concerning you, Nineveh: ‘Your name will no longer be remembered. I will destroy every idol and image in the house of your God. I will destroy even your tomb, for you are worthless.’
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。
15 Look! On the mountains a messenger bringing good news, announcing peace! ‘Celebrate the feasts, Judah, fulfil your vows. Never again will these enemies invade your land, they are destroyed!’
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。
