NOVA VULGATADOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Oraculum Nineve. Liber visio nis Nahum Elcesaei.
1 The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.
2 Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus,
ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem,
ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos
et servans iram inimicis suis.
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 Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine,
nullumque impunitum derelinquet Dominus.
In tempestate et turbine via eius,
et nubes pulvis pedum eius.
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 Increpans mare et exsiccans illud
et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens.
Elanguit Basan et Carmelus,
et flos Libani elanguit.
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 Montes commoti sunt ab eo,
et colles conturbati;
et contremuit terra a facie eius
et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo.
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 Ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit,
et quis resistet in aestu furoris eius? Indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis,
et petrae dissolutae sunt ab eo.
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 Bonus Dominus,
refugium in die tribulationis
et sciens sperantes in se
7 The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8 et in diluvio transeunte;
consummationem faciet adversariorum suorum,
et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae.
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 Quid cogitatis contra Dominum?
Consummationem ipse faciet;
non consurget duplex tribulatio.
9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10 Sicut spinae condensae se invicem complectentes
et sicut potatores inebriati
consumentur quasi stipula omnino arida.
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 Ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam,
mente pertractans praevaricationem.
11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
12 Haec dicit Dominus:
“ Et si incolumes fuerint et numerosi,
sic quoque attondentur et pertransibunt;
afflixi te et non affligam te ultra.
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 Et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo
et vincula tua disrumpam ”.
13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.
14 Et praecipiet super te Dominus:
“ Non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius.
De domo dei tui disperdam sculptile et conflatile;
ponam sepulcrum tuum,
quia inhonoratus es ”.
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.
