1 Oráculo sobre Nínive. Libro de la visión de Nahúm de Elcós.	1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 ¡Dios celoso y vengador Yahveh, vengador Yahveh y rico en ira! Se venga Yahveh de sus adversarios, guarda rencor a sus enemigos.	2 God is a rival, and the Lord is avenging. The Lord is avenging, and one who applies wrath. The Lord is avenging with his enemies, and he becomes angry with his adversaries.
3 Yahveh tardo a la cólera, pero grande en poder, y a nadie deja impune Yahveh. En la tempestad y el huracán camina, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.	3 The Lord is patient and great in strength, and those who are not clean, he makes innocent. The Lord is in a tempest, and his way is a whirlwind, and the clouds are dust at his feet.
4 Amenaza al mar y lo deja seco, y todos los ríos agota. ... languidecen el Basán y el Carmelo, la flor del Líbano se amustia.	4 He is the one who rebukes the sea, and who dries it up, and who leads all the rivers to the desert. Basan has been weakened, and also Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon has languished.
5 Tiemblan los montes ante él, y las colinas se estremecen; en su presencia se levanta la tierra, el orbe y todos los que en él habitan.	5 The mountains have trembled before him, and the hills have become desolate, and the earth has quaked before his face, both the world and all that dwells in it.
6 Ante su enojo ¿quién puede tenerse? ¿Quién puede resistir el ardor de su cólera? Su furor se derrama como fuego, y las rocas se quiebran ante él.	6 Who can stand firm before the face of his indignation? And who can continue against the fury of his wrath? His indignation has broken out like a fire, and the rocks have been dissolved before him.
7 Bueno es Yahveh para el que en él es pera, un refugio en el día de la angustia; él conoce a los que a él se acogen,	7 The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
8 cuando pasa la inundación. Hace exterminio de los que se alzan contra él, a sus enemigos persigue hasta en las tinieblas.	8 And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.
9 ¿Qué meditáis contra Yahveh? El es el que hace exterminio, no se alzará dos veces la opresión;	9 What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.
10 porque ellos, espinos aún enmarañados, empapados de bebida, como paja seca serán enteramente consumidos.	10 For just as thorns entwine one another, so also, while they are feasting and drinking together, they will be consumed like stubble that is completely dry.
11 ¡De ti ha salido el que medita el mal contra Yahveh, el consejero de Belial!	11 Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.
12 Así dice Yahveh: Por más incólumes que estén, por más que sean, serán talados y desaparecerán. Si te he humillado, no volveré a humillarte más.	12 Thus says the Lord: If they had been perfect, and many of them so, yet still they would be pruned, and it will cross through them. I have afflicted you, and I shall afflict you no more.
13 Y ahora voy a quebrar de sobre ti su yugo, y a romper tus cadenas.	13 And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
14 Y sobre ti ha dado orden Yahveh: No habrá más descendencia de tu nombre; de la casa de tus dioses extirparé imágenes esculpidas y fundidas, preparé tu tumba, porque eres despreciable.	14 And the Lord will place a commandment over you; nothing more from your name will be sown. From the house of your God, I will order destroyed the graven image and the molten image. I will prepare your grave, because you are not honorable.
	15 Behold, over the mountains, the feet of the Evangelizer and the Announcer of peace. Judah, celebrate your festivals and keep your vows. For Belial will never again pass through you; he has completely passed away.
