Книга пророка Наума 1
1 Пророчество о Ниневии: книга видения Наума сына Елкесеева.
The declaration about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2 Бог ревнив и мстяй Господь, мстяй Господь с яростию, Господь мстяй сопостатом Своим и потребляяй сам враги Своя.
Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges; Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he continues his anger for his enemies.
3 Господь долготерпелив, и велика крепость Его, и очищаяй не очистит Господь: в скончании и трусе путь Его, и облацы прах ног Его:
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power; he will not allow the wicked to go unpunished. Yahweh makes his way in the whirlwind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 запрещаяй морю и изсушаяй е и вся реки опустошаяй. Умалися Васанитида и Кармил, и процветающая Ливана оскудеша:
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan is weak, and Carmel also; the flowers of Lebanon are weak.
5 горы потрясошася от Него, и холми поколебашася, и ужасеся земля от лица Его, вселенная и вси живущии на ней.
The mountains shake in his presence, and the hills melt; the earth collapses in his presence, indeed, the world and all people who live in it.
6 От лица гнева Его кто постоит? И кто сопротивится во гневе ярости Его? Ярость Его растаевает власти, и камение сотрошася от Него.
Who can stand before his wrath? Who can resist the fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken apart by him.
7 Благ Господь терпящым Его в день скорбения, и знаяй боящыяся Его:
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he is faithful to those who take refuge in him.
8 и в потопе пути скончание сотворит: востающыя и враги Его поженет тма.
But he will make a full end to his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he will pursue them into darkness.
9 Что помышляете на Господа? Скончание Сам сотворит, не отмстит дважды купно в скорби:
What are you people plotting against Yahweh? He will make a full end to it; trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 понеже до основания своего оляденеет, и аки блющь и оплетающься снеден будет, и аки трость сухоты полна.
For they will become tangled up like thornbushes; they will be saturated in their own drink; they will be completely devoured by fire like dry stubble.
11 Из тебе изыдет помысл на Господа злый, совещаваяй сопротивная.
Someone arose among you, Nineveh, who planned evil against Yahweh, someone who promoted wickedness.
12 Сия глаголет Господь: обладаяй водами многими, и сице разступятся, и слух твой не услышится ктому:
This is what Yahweh says, “Even if they are at their full strength and full numbers, they will nevertheless be sheared; their people will be no more. But you, Judah: Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
13 и ныне сокрушу жезл его от тебе и узы твоя расторгну.
Now will I break that people's yoke from off you; I will break your chains.”
14 И заповесть о тебе Господь, не разсеется от имене твоего ктому: от дому бога твоего потреблю изваянная и слиянная положу гроб твой, яко скори (есте).
Yahweh has given a command about you, Nineveh: “There will be no more descendants bearing your name. I will cut off the carved figures and the cast metal figures from the houses of your gods. I will dig your graves, for you are contemptible.”
15 Се, на горах ноги благовествующаго и возвещающаго мир: празднуй, Иудо, праздники твоя, воздаждь обеты твоя, зане не приложат ктому еже проити сквозе тебе во обетшание: скончася и извержеся.
Look, on the mountains there are the feet of someone who is bringing good news, who is announcing peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and keep your vows, for the wicked one will invade you no more; he is completely cut off.
