1 λημμα νινευη βιβλιον ορασεως ναουμ του ελκεσαιου | 1 The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite. |
2 θεος ζηλωτης και εκδικων κυριος εκδικων κυριος μετα θυμου εκδικων κυριος τους υπεναντιους αυτου και εξαιρων αυτος τους εχθρους αυτου | 2 The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies. |
3 κυριος μακροθυμος και μεγαλη η ισχυς αυτου και αθωων ουκ αθωωσει κυριος εν συντελεια και εν συσσεισμω η οδος αυτου και νεφελαι κονιορτος ποδων αυτου | 3 The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet. |
4 απειλων θαλασση και ξηραινων αυτην και παντας τους ποταμους εξερημων ωλιγωθη η βασανιτις και ο καρμηλος και τα εξανθουντα του λιβανου εξελιπεν | 4 He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away. |
5 τα ορη εσεισθησαν απ' αυτου και οι βουνοι εσαλευθησαν και ανεσταλη η γη απο προσωπου αυτου η συμπασα και παντες οι κατοικουντες εν αυτη | 5 The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein. |
6 απο προσωπου οργης αυτου τις υποστησεται και τις αντιστησεται εν οργη θυμου αυτου ο θυμος αυτου τηκει αρχας και αι πετραι διεθρυβησαν απ' αυτου | 6 Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him. |
7 χρηστος κυριος τοις υπομενουσιν αυτον εν ημερα θλιψεως και γινωσκων τους ευλαβουμενους αυτον | 7 The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him. |
8 και εν κατακλυσμω πορειας συντελειαν ποιησεται τους επεγειρομενους και τους εχθρους αυτου διωξεται σκοτος | 8 But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies. |
9 τι λογιζεσθε επι τον κυριον συντελειαν αυτος ποιησεται ουκ εκδικησει δις επι το αυτο εν θλιψει | 9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction. |
10 οτι εως θεμελιου αυτων χερσωθησεται και ως σμιλαξ περιπλεκομενη βρωθησεται και ως καλαμη ξηρασιας μεστη | 10 For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry. |
11 εκ σου εξελευσεται λογισμος κατα του κυριου πονηρα λογιζομενος εναντια | 11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind. |
12 ταδε λεγει κυριος καταρχων υδατων πολλων και ουτως διασταλησονται και η ακοη σου ουκ ενακουσθησεται ετι | 12 Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more. |
13 και νυν συντριψω την ραβδον αυτου απο σου και τους δεσμους σου διαρρηξω | 13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder. |
14 και εντελειται υπερ σου κυριος ου σπαρησεται εκ του ονοματος σου ετι εξ οικου θεου σου εξολεθρευσω τα γλυπτα και χωνευτα θησομαι ταφην σου οτι ταχεις | 14 And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced. |
| 15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off. |
