Nahum 1

1The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

מַשָּׂא נִינְוֵה סֵפֶר חֲזֹון נַחוּם הָאֶלְקֹשִׁי׃ (1423)

2God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

אֵל קַנֹּוא וְנֹקֵם יְהוָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה וּבַעַל חֵמָה נֹקֵם יְהוָה לְצָרָיו וְנֹוטֵר הוּא לְאֹיְבָיו׃ (1681)

3The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

יְהֹוָה אֶרֶךְ אַפַּיִם [וּגְדֹול־ כ] (וּגְדָל־כֹּחַ ק) וְנַקֵּה לֹא יְנַקֶּה יְהוָה בְּסוּפָה וּבִשְׂעָרָה דַּרְכֹּו וְעָנָן אֲבַק רַגְלָיו׃ (2495)

4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

גֹּועֵר בַּיָּם וַיַּבְּשֵׁהוּ וְכָל־הַנְּהָרֹות הֶחֱרִיב אֻמְלַל בָּשָׁן וְכַרְמֶל וּפֶרַח לְבָנֹון אֻמְלָל׃ (2889)

5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

הָרִים רָעֲשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ וְהַגְּבָעֹות הִתְמֹגָגוּ וַתִּשָּׂא הָאָרֶץ מִפָּנָיו וְתֵבֵל וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ׃ (3928)

6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

לִפְנֵי זַעְמֹו מִי יַעֲמֹוד וּמִי יָקוּם בַּחֲרֹון אַפֹּו חֲמָתֹו נִתְּכָה כָאֵשׁ וְהַצֻּרִים נִתְּצוּ מִמֶּנּוּ׃ (3321)

7The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

טֹוב יְהוָה לְמָעֹוז בְּיֹום צָרָה וְיֹדֵעַ חֹסֵי בֹו׃ (725)

8But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

וּבְשֶׁטֶף עֹבֵר כָּלָה יַעֲשֶׂה מְקֹומָהּ וְאֹיְבָיו יְרַדֶּף־חֹשֶׁךְ ׃ (1957)

9What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

מַה־תְּחַשְּׁבוּן אֶל־יְהוָה כָּלָה הוּא עֹשֶׂה לֹא־תָקוּם פַּעֲמַיִם צָרָה׃ (2422)

10For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

כִּי עַד־סִירִים סְבֻכִים וּכְסָבְאָם סְבוּאִים אֻכְּלוּ כְּקַשׁ יָבֵשׁ מָלֵא׃ (1664)

11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.

מִמֵּךְ יָצָא חֹשֵׁב עַל־יְהוָה רָעָה יֹעֵץ בְּלִיָּעַל׃ (1224)

12Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אִם־שְׁלֵמִים וְכֵן רַבִּים וְכֵן נָגֹזּוּ וְעָבָר וְעִנִּתִךְ לֹא אֲעַנֵּךְ עֹוד׃ (2299)

13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

וְעַתָּה אֶשְׁבֹּר מֹטֵהוּ מֵעָלָיִךְ וּמֹוסְרֹתַיִךְ אֲנַתֵּק׃ (2507)

14And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

וְצִוָּה עָלֶיךָ יְהוָה לֹא־יִזָּרַע מִשִּׁמְךָ עֹוד מִבֵּית אֱלֹהֶיךָ אַכְרִית פֶּסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה אָשִׂים קִבְרֶךָ כִּי קַלֹּותָ׃ (3750)

15Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

הִנֵּה עַל־הֶהָרִים רַגְלֵי מְבַשֵּׂר מַשְׁמִיעַ שָׁלֹום חָגִּי יְהוּדָה חַגַּיִךְ שַׁלְּמִי נְדָרָיִךְ כִּי לֹא יֹוסִיף עֹוד [לַעֲבֹור־ כ] (לַעֲבָר־בָּךְ ק) בְּלִיַּעַל כֻּלֹּה נִכְרָת׃ (4723)
