Nahum 1

1 This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

1 以下是关于尼尼微的预言，是伊勒歌斯人那鸿的异象录。

2 The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.

2 耶和华是痛恨不贞、施行报应的上帝。 耶和华施行报应，充满烈怒。 耶和华报应祂的仇敌，向他们发烈怒。

3 The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

3 耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力。 耶和华断不以有罪的为无罪。 祂行走在旋风和暴风中， 云彩是祂脚下的尘土。

4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.

4 祂斥责大海，使大海干涸； 祂使一切河流枯竭。 巴珊和迦密的草木凋零， 黎巴嫩的鲜花衰残。

5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence—the world and all its dwellers.

5 在祂面前，群山震动，丘陵消融。 在祂面前，大地隆起， 世界和世上的一切都战栗。

6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

6 祂发怒，谁能站立？ 祂发烈怒，谁能承受？ 祂的愤怒如火焰喷涌而出， 磐石在祂面前崩裂。

7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

7 耶和华是良善的， 是人患难时的避难所； 祂看顾那些信靠祂的人。

8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

8 祂必用滔滔洪水毁灭尼尼微， 把祂的敌人驱逐到黑暗中。

9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

9 尼尼微人啊， 你们为何图谋抵挡耶和华？ 祂要彻底毁灭你们， 无需击打两次。

10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard—like stubble that is fully dry.

10 你们像纠结的荆棘， 又像酩酊大醉的人， 要如干秸被火烧尽。

11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.

11 你们中间出来一人， 一个邪恶的阴谋者， 图谋抵挡耶和华。

12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.

12 耶和华说： “尽管尼尼微势力强大、人口众多， 但必被铲除，化为乌有。 我的子民啊，我使你们受了苦， 但必不再使你们受苦。

13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”

13 现在我要打碎他们套在你们颈上的轭， 松开你们身上的锁链。”

14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”

14 尼尼微啊， 耶和华已发出有关你的命令： “你的名不会传于后世。 我要摧毁你神庙中雕刻和铸造的偶像。 我要为你掘好坟墓， 因为你毫无用处。”

15 Look to the mountains—the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.

15 看啊， 传喜讯、报平安的人穿山越岭而来。 犹大啊， 庆祝你的节期， 还你许的愿吧！ 邪恶之人将不再侵扰你， 他们都将被彻底毁灭。
