Carga de Nínive. Libro de la visión de Nahúm de Elcos.

Dios celoso y vengador es el SEÑOR; vengador es el SEÑOR, y Señor de ira; el SEÑOR, que se venga de sus adversarios, y que guarda su enojo para con sus enemigos.

El SEÑOR es tardo para la ira, y grande en poder, y no tendrá al culpado por inocente. El SEÑOR cuyo camino es en tempestad y turbión, y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.

El reprende al mar, y lo hace secar, y hace secar todos los ríos; Basán fue destruido, y el Carmelo, y la flor del Líbano fue destruida.

Los montes tiemblan de él, y los collados se deslíen; y la tierra se abrasa delante de su presencia, y el mundo, y todos los que en él habitan.

¿Quién permanecerá delante de su ira? ¿Y quién quedará en pie en el furor de su enojo? Su ira se derrama como fuego, y las peñas se rompen por él.

Bueno es el SEÑOR para fortaleza en el día de la angustia; y conoce a los que en él confían.

Mas con inundación pasante hará consumación de su lugar, y tinieblas perseguirán a sus enemigos.

¿Qué pensáis contra el SEÑOR? El hace consumación; no se levantará dos veces la tribulación.

10 Porque como espinas entretejidas, mientras se embriagarán los borrachos, serán consumidos del fuego, como las estopas llenas de sequedad.

11 De ti salió el que pensó mal contra el SEÑOR, un consejero de Belial.

12 Así dijo el SEÑOR: Aunque más reposo tengan, y sean tantos, así serán talados, y él pasará. Bien que te he afligido, no más te afligiré.

13 Porque ahora quebraré su yugo de sobre ti, y romperé tus coyundas.

14 Mas acerca de ti mandará el SEÑOR, que nunca más sea sembrado alguno de tu nombre: de la casa de tu dios talaré escultura y estatua de fundición, la haré tu sepulcro; porque fuiste vil.

15 He aquí sobre los montes están ya los pies del que trae buenas nuevas, del que pregona la paz. Celebra, oh Judá, tus fiestas, cumple tus votos: porque Belial nunca más pasará por ti; él fue talado del todo.

A prophecy(A) concerning Nineveh.(B) The book of the vision(C) of Nahum the Elkoshite.

The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh

The Lord is a jealous(D) and avenging God;
    the Lord takes vengeance(E) and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
    and vents his wrath against his enemies.(F)
The Lord is slow to anger(G) but great in power;
    the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.(H)
His way is in the whirlwind(I) and the storm,(J)
    and clouds(K) are the dust of his feet.
He rebukes(L) the sea and dries it up;(M)
    he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel(N) wither
    and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
The mountains quake(O) before him
    and the hills melt away.(P)
The earth trembles(Q) at his presence,
    the world and all who live in it.(R)
Who can withstand(S) his indignation?
    Who can endure(T) his fierce anger?(U)
His wrath is poured out like fire;(V)
    the rocks are shattered(W) before him.

The Lord is good,(X)
    a refuge in times of trouble.(Y)
He cares for(Z) those who trust in him,(AA)
    but with an overwhelming flood(AB)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

Whatever they plot(AC) against the Lord
    he will bring[a] to an end;
    trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(AD)
    and drunk(AE) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](AF)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
    who plots evil against the Lord
    and devises wicked plans.

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed(AG) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.(AH)
13 Now I will break their yoke(AI) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”(AJ)

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh:
    “You will have no descendants to bear your name.(AK)
I will destroy the images(AL) and idols
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,(AM)
    for you are vile.”

15 Look, there on the mountains,
    the feet of one who brings good news,(AN)
    who proclaims peace!(AO)
Celebrate your festivals,(AP) Judah,
    and fulfill your vows.
No more will the wicked invade you;(AQ)
    they will be completely destroyed.[c]

the earth heaves before him,
    (P)the world and all who dwell in it.

    (AD)they will be cut down and pass away.
(AE)Though I have afflicted you,
    I will afflict you no more.
13 And now (AF)I will break his yoke from off you
    and will burst your bonds apart.”

14 The Lord has given commandment about you:
    (AG)“No more shall your name be perpetuated;
from (AH)the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the metal image.
(AI)I will make your grave, (AJ)for you are vile.”

15 [b] (AK)Behold, upon the mountains, (AL)the feet of him
    who brings good news,
    who publishes peace!
(AM)Keep your feasts, O Judah;
    (AN)fulfill your vows,
(AO)for never again shall the worthless pass through you;
    he is utterly cut off.
