那鸿书 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
有关尼尼微的预言
1 以下是对尼尼微的宣判，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿的异象录。
嫉恶和施行报复的 神
2 耶和华是嫉恶和施行报复的 神；
耶和华施行报复，并且满怀烈怒；
耶和华向他的对头施行报复，
向他的仇敌怀怒。
3 耶和华不轻易发怒，可是大有能力；
他绝不以有罪的为无罪。
耶和华乘着狂风暴雨而来，
云彩是他脚下的尘土。
4 他一斥责海，海就干了；
他使一切江河枯干。
巴珊和迦密的树林枯槁，
黎巴嫩的花卉凋残。
5 大山在他面前震动，
小山也都融化；
大地在他面前废去，
世界和所有住在世上的，也都这样。
6 在他盛怒之下，谁能站得住呢？
他的烈怒谁能受得了呢？
他的忿怒像火一般喷出来，
盘石在他面前都崩裂了。
7 耶和华是良善的；
在患难的时候，他作人的避难所；
信靠他的人，他都认识。
8 但他必用泛滥的洪水，
尽行毁灭尼尼微之地，
把他的仇敌赶入黑暗之中。
警告尼尼微
9 尼尼微人哪，
你们对耶和华还有甚么企图？
他必尽行毁灭；
患难必不再次来临。
10 他们像缠结着的荆棘，
像喝醉了的酒徒，
又像枯干的禾秸，全都被吞灭了。
11 有人从你那里出来，
就是筹划奸恶的人，
图谋恶事攻击耶和华。
安慰犹大
12 耶和华这样说：
尼尼微人虽然装备完整，
人数众多，
他们仍必被剪除，
这样就完了。
我既然使你受过苦，
就一定不再叫你受苦了。
13 犹大啊！
现在我必粉碎他在你身上的轭，
打断你的锁炼。
14 尼尼微啊！
耶和华已经向你下了命令：
你的名字必不再传于后世；
我必从你的神庙中，
除掉雕刻和铸造的偶像；
我必为你预备坟墓，
因为你没有存在的价值。
15 看哪！那传报佳音、宣告和平之人的脚，
已经站在山上，说：
犹大啊！守你的节期，
还你的愿吧！
因为那奸恶的人永不会再从你中间经过；
他已被彻底除灭了。（本节在《马索拉文本》为2:1）
Nahum 1
Names of God Bible
Nahum’s Vision
1 This is a revelation from the Lord about Nineveh. This book contains the vision of Nahum from Elkosh.
Who Can Withstand the Lord’s Anger?
2 El Kanna. Yahweh takes revenge.
Yahweh takes revenge and is full of anger.
Yahweh takes revenge against his enemies
and holds a grudge against his foes.
3 Yahweh is patient and has great strength.
Yahweh will never let the guilty go unpunished.
Raging winds and storms mark his path,
and clouds are the dust from his feet.
4 He yells at the sea and makes it dry.
He dries up all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither.
The flowers of Lebanon wither.
5 The mountains quake because of him.
The hills melt.
The earth draws back in his presence.
The world and all who live in it draw back as well.
6 Who can stand in the presence of his rage?
Who can oppose his burning anger?
He pours out his rage like fire
and smashes the rocky cliffs.
Why Does Nineveh Oppose the Lord?
7 Yahweh is good.
He is a fortress in the day of trouble.
He knows those who seek shelter in him.
8 He will put an end to Nineveh
with a devastating flood.
He will pursue his enemies with darkness.
9 What do you think about Yahweh?
He is the one who will bring Nineveh to an end.
This trouble will never happen again.
10 The people of Nineveh will be like tangled thorns
and like people drunk on their own drink.
They will be completely burned up like very dry straw.
11 From you, Nineveh, a person who plans evil against Yahweh sets out.
His advice is wicked.
Nineveh Will Fall
12 This is what Yahweh says:
Though the people of Nineveh are physically fit and many in number,
they will be cut down and die.
Though I have humbled you, Judah,
I will not humble you again.
13 But now I will break Nineveh’s yoke[a] off of you
and tear its chains from you.
14 Yahweh has given this command about you, Nineveh:
You will no longer have descendants to carry on your name.
I will remove the wooden and metal idols from the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave because you are worthless.[b]
An Army Will Conquer Nineveh
15 There on the mountains are the feet of a messenger
who announces the good news: “All is well!”
Celebrate your festivals, Judah! Keep your vows!
This wickedness will never pass your way again.
It will be completely removed.

Nahum 1
1599 Geneva Bible
Nahum
1 Of the destruction of the Assyrians, and of the deliverance of Israel.
1 The [a]burden of Nineveh. [b]The book of the vision of Nahum the [c]Elkoshite.
2 God is [d]jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord revengeth: even the Lord [e]of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The [f]Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely clear the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind, and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it, and he drieth up all the rivers: Bashan is wasted and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is wasted.
5 The mountains tremble for him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burnt at his sight, yea the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 [g]Who can stand before his wrath? or who can abide in the fierceness of his wrath? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken by him.
7 The Lord is good [h]and as a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But passing over as with a flood, he will utterly destroy the [i]place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye [j]imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter destruction: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For he shall come as unto [k]thorns folden one in another, and as unto drunkards in their drunken-ness: they shall be devoured as stubble fully dried.
11 There [l]cometh one out of thee that imagineth evil against the Lord, even a wicked counselor.
12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be [m]quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall pass by: though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now I will break his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee that no more of thy name be [n]sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven, and the molten image: I will make it thy grave for thee, for thou art vile.
15 (A)Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that declareth, and publisheth [o]peace: O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee: he is utterly cut off.
