나훔 1장 [ASV]

나훔 1장 [NIV]

1. 1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

   1 An oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

2. 2 Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth (wrath) for his enemies.

   2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD takes vengeance and is filled with wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his foes and maintains his wrath against his enemies.

3. 3 Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear (the guilty): Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

   3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

4. 4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

   4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; he makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.

5. 5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

   5 The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it.

6. 6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.

   6 Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him.

7. 7 Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him.

   7 The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,

8. 8 But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.

   8 but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into darkness.

9. 9 What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.

   9 Whatever they plot against the LORD he will bring to an end; trouble will not come a second time.

10. 10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.

    10 They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine; they will be consumed like dry stubble.

11. 11 There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.

    11 From you, O Nineveh,has one come forth who plots evil against the LORD and counsels wickedness.

12. 12 Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

    12 This is what the LORD says: "Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be cut off and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, O Judah,I will afflict you no more.

13. 13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

    13 Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away."

14. 14 And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

    14 The LORD has given a command concerning you, Nineveh: "You will have no descendants to bear your name. I will destroy the carved images and cast idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile."

15. 15 Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

    15 Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, O Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you; they will be completely destroyed.
