< Nahum 1 >
1 [the] oracle of Nineveh [the] document of [the] vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 [is] a God Jealous and avenging Yahweh [is] avenging Yahweh and a lord of rage [is] avenging Yahweh to opponents his and [is] maintaining he to enemies his.
3 Yahweh [is] long of anger (and great of *Qk) power and certainly not he will leave unpunished Yahweh [is] in storm-wind and in storm way his and [is] cloud [the] dust of feet his.
4 [he is] rebuking the Sea and he made dry it and all the rivers he dries up it withers Bashan and Carmel and [the] blossom of Lebanon it withers.
5 Mountains they quake from him and the hills they melt and it lifted up the earth from before him and [the] world and all [those who] dwell in it.
6 Before indignation his who? will he stand and who? will he endure at [the] burning of anger his rage his it is poured out like fire and the rocks they are pulled down from him.
7 [is] good Yahweh a refuge in a day of trouble and [he is] knowing [those who] take refuge in him.
8 And with a flood [which] passes over complete destruction he will make place its and enemies his he will pursue darkness.
9 Whatever you will plot! against Yahweh complete destruction he [will be] making not it will arise two times trouble.
10 For to thorns interwoven and like drink their drunkards they will be consumed like stubble dry full.
11 From you he has come out [one who] plots on Yahweh evil a counselor of worthlessness.
12 Thus - he says Yahweh though complete and thus numerous and thus they will be cut down and he will pass away and I have afflicted you not I will afflict you again.
13 And now I will break yoke-bar his from on you and fetters your I will tear apart.
14 And he has commanded on you Yahweh not it will be sown from name your again from [the] house of gods your I will cut off idol and molten image I will make grave your for you are insignificant.
15 There! on the mountains [the] feet of [one who] bears news [one who] proclaims peace celebrate a festival O Judah festivals your pay vows your for not he will repeat again (to pass *Qk) in you a worthless person all of him it will be cut off.
