Nahúm 1
Dios Habla Hoy
1 Libro de la profecía que Nahúm de Elcós recibió por revelación. Éste es el mensaje dirigido a la ciudad de Nínive.
2 El Señor es Dios celoso y vengador:
se venga de los que se le oponen,
y se enoja con sus enemigos.
3 El Señor es paciente pero poderoso,
y no dejará de castigar al culpable.
El Señor camina sobre la tormenta,
y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies.
4 Amenaza al mar, y lo seca.
Hace que se sequen todos los ríos.
Los campos de Basán
y el monte Carmelo se marchitan,
y se marchitan también las flores del Líbano.
5 Ante él tiemblan las montañas;
los cerros se derriten en su presencia.
Toda la tierra se estremece al verlo;
todo el mundo y los que en él viven.
6 ¿Quién podrá mantenerse de pie ante su ira?
¿Quién podrá resistir su enojo?
Su furia se derrama como fuego,
y ante él se parten en dos las peñas.
7 El Señor es bueno;
es un refugio en horas de angustia:
protege a los que en él confían.
8 Pero, como inundación que todo lo arrasa,
destruye a los que se le oponen;
la oscuridad alcanzará a sus enemigos.
9 ¿Qué están tramando ustedes en contra del Señor?
¡Él los destruirá por completo!
¡Nadie puede oponérsele dos veces!
10 Pues como espinos enmarañados,
como paja seca, serán quemados por completo.
11 De ti, Nínive, salió el que trama
lo malo en contra del Señor:
un malvado consejero.
12 Por eso dice el Señor a su pueblo:
«Aunque los asirios sean fuertes y numerosos,
serán destruidos y pasarán.
Yo te he hecho sufrir,
pero no te haré sufrir más.
13 Haré pedazos el yugo que tienes encima
y romperé tus cadenas.»
14 El Señor ordenó respecto a ti, rey de Nínive:
«No tendrás descendientes que continúen tu nombre;
del templo de tu dios destruiré
los ídolos y las estatuas,
y allí te voy a enterrar porque eres despreciable.»
Anuncio de la caída de Nínive
15 (2.1) ¡Miren! ¡Ya viene sobre los montes
el mensajero que trae noticias de paz!
Celebra tus fiestas, Judá;
cumple tus promesas.
Nunca más te invadirán los malvados;
han sido destruidos por completo.
Nahum 1
New International Version
1 A prophecy(A) concerning Nineveh.(B) The book of the vision(C) of Nahum the Elkoshite.
The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
2 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)
3 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.
4 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.
5 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)
6 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.
7 The Lord is good,(X)
a refuge in times of trouble.(Y)
He cares for(Z) those who trust in him,(AA)
8 but with an overwhelming flood(AB)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.
9 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)

Nahum 1
King James Version
1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God 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.
3 The 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.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who 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.
7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor.
12 Thus 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.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off 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 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.
15 Behold 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.
