1 وحي على نينوى. سفر رؤيا ناحوم الالقوشي | 1 The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite. |
2 الرب اله غيور ومنتقم. الرب منتقم وذو سخط. الرب منتقم من مبغضيه وحافظ غضبه على اعدائه. | 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 الرب بطيء الغضب وعظيم القدرة ولكنه لا يبرئ البتة. الرب في الزوبعة وفي العاصف طريقه والسحاب غبار رجليه | 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 ينتهر البحر فينشفه ويجفف جميع الانهار. يذبل باشان والكرمل وزهر لبنان يذبل. | 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 الجبال ترجف منه والتلال تذوب والارض ترفع من وجهه والعالم وكل الساكنين فيه. | 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 من يقف امام سخطه ومن يقوم في حمو غضبه. غيظه ينسكب كالنار والصخور تنهدم منه. | 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 صالح هو الرب حصن في يوم الضيق وهو يعرف المتوكلين عليه. | 7 The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him. |
8 ولكن بطوفان عابر يصنع هلاكا تاما لموضعها واعداؤه يتبعهم ظلام | 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 ماذا تفتكرون على الرب. هو صانع هلاكا تاما. لا يقوم الضيق مرتين. | 9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction. |
10 فانهم وهم مشتبكون مثل الشوك وسكرانون كمن خمرهم يؤكلون كالقش اليابس بالكمال. | 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 منك خرج المفتكر على الرب شرا المشير بالهلاك | 11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind. |
12 هكذا قال الرب. ان كانوا سالمين وكثيرين هكذا فهكذا يجزّون فيعبر. اذللتك. لا اذلّك ثانية. | 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 والآن اكسر نيره عنك واقطع ربطك. | 13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder. |
14 ولكن قد اوصى عنك الرب لا يزرع من اسمك في ما بعد. اني اقطع من بيت الهك التماثيل المنحوتة والمسبوكة. اجعله قبرك لانك صرت حقيرا | 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 هوذا على الجبال قدما مبشّر مناد بالسلام عيّدي يا يهوذا اعيادك اوفي نذورك فانه لا يعود يعبر فيك ايضا المهلك. قد انقرض كله | 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. |
