Nahum 1
Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 The oracle concerning Nineveh.(A) The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

God’s Vengeance

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance
and is fierce in[a] wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance against His foes;
He is furious with His enemies.(B)
3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.(C)
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
4 He rebukes the sea so that it dries up,
and He makes all the rivers run dry.(D)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(E)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[b][c] at His presence—
the world and all who live in it.(F)
6 Who can withstand His indignation?
Who can endure His burning anger?(G)
His wrath is poured out like fire,
even rocks are shattered before Him.

Destruction of Nineveh

7 The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
He cares for those who take refuge(H) in Him.
8 But He will completely destroy Nineveh[d]
with an overwhelming flood,(I)
and He will chase His enemies into darkness.

9 Whatever you[e] plot against the Lord,
He will bring it to complete destruction;(J)
oppression will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(K)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[f]
11 One has gone out from you,[g]
who plots evil against Yahweh,
and is a wicked counselor.

Promise of Judah’s Deliverance

12 This is what the Lord says:

Though they are strong[h] and numerous,
they will still be mowed down,
and he[i] will pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[j](L)
I will afflict you no longer.(M)
13 For I will now break off his yoke from you
and tear off your shackles.

The Assyrian King’s Demise

14 The Lord has issued an order concerning you:

There will be no offspring
to carry on your name.[k](N)
I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image
from the house of your gods;(O)
I will prepare your grave,
for you are contemptible.

15 [l]Look to the mountains—
the feet of one bringing good news(P)
and proclaiming peace!
Celebrate your festivals, Judah;
fulfill your vows.
For the wicked one will never again
march through you;
he will be entirely wiped out.

Nahum 1
Modern English Version

1 An oracle for Nineveh, a writing of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.

God’s Anger With Nineveh

2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
    the Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord takes vengeance on His enemies,
    and He reserves it for His adversaries;
3 the Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
    and the Lord will in no way acquit the guilty.
In gale winds and a storm is His way,
    and clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 He rebukes and dries up the sea,
    and He makes waterless all the rivers.
Bashan and Carmel wither up,
    and the sprout of Lebanon wastes away.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
    and the hills melt;
the land rises up before Him,
    the earth and everything that dwells on it.
6 Who can stand before His anger?
    Who will rise up before His burning wrath?
His heat is poured out like fire,
    and the rocks are broken up before Him.

7 The Lord is good,
    a stronghold in the day of distress;
and He knows those who take refuge in Him.
8     As a flood running forth,
He will bring to an end the distress,
    and He will pursue His adversaries into darkness.

9 Why do you all scheme against the Lord?
    He will bring it to an end.
    It will not rise up a second time.
10 Because they are like interwoven thorns
    and as drunkards imbibing,
    they are consumed like completely dry stubble.
11 Out of you, O Nineveh, comes one,
    a worthless counselor,
    who devises evil against the Lord.

12 So the Lord says:

“Even though they are full and many,
    they will be cut down, and it will pass away.
Even though I have afflicted you,
    I will no longer afflict you, O Judah;
13 now I will break apart his yoke from over you,
    and I will tear apart your bonds.”

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
    “No longer will your name go forth.
I will cut off the carved image and metal image
    from the house of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,
    for you are despised.”

15 Look, on the mountains
    come the feet of him who brings good news,
    who proclaims peace!
Make your feasts, O Judah,
    and complete your vows.
For the wicked one will never again pass through your midst;
    he is completely cut down.

Nahum 1
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)

1 Ang mensahe ng aklat na ito ay tungkol sa Nineve.[a] Itoʼy ipinahayag ng Panginoon kay Nahum na taga-Elkosh.

Ang Galit ng Panginoon sa Nineve

2 Ayaw ng Panginoong Dios na sumamba ang mga tao sa ibang mga dios.[b] Galit siya sa kanyang mga kaaway at pinaghihigantihan niya sila. 3 Ang Panginoon ay hindi madaling magalit, ngunit dakila ang kanyang kapangyarihan at tiyak na parurusahan niya ang nagkasala. Kapag dumadaan siya, umuugong ang hangin at bumabagyo. Ang mga ulap ay parang alikabok sa kanyang mga paa. 4 Sa utos lamang niyaʼy natutuyo ang mga dagat at mga ilog. Nalalanta ang mga tanim sa Bashan, sa Bundok ng Carmel at sa Lebanon. 5 Nayayanig ang mundo sa kanyang presensya, pati na ang mga bundok at mga burol, at ang mga tao sa mundo ay nanginginig. 6 Sino ang makakatagal sa matinding galit ng Panginoon? Kapag siya ay nagalit, para siyang bumubuga ng apoy, at ang mga bato ay nabibiyak sa harap niya.

7 Ang Panginoon ay mabuti; matibay siyang kanlungan sa oras ng kagipitan, at inaalagaan niya ang nananalig sa kanya. 8 Para siyang rumaragasang baha na lubusang pupuksain ang kanyang mga kaaway. Tutugisin niya sila hanggang sa mamatay.[c] 9 Mga taga-Asiria, kung ano man ang masamang binabalak ninyo laban sa mga mamamayan ng Panginoon, wawakasan iyan ng Panginoon at hindi na mauulit pa. 10 Para kayong mga lasing na nakapulupot sa matinik na halaman. Lilipulin kayo na parang natutupok na dayami. 11 Ang isa sa inyong mga pinuno ay nagbalak ng masama laban sa mga mamamayan ng Panginoon. Masama ang kanyang ipinapayo.

12 Ito ang sinasabi ng Panginoon sa mga taga-Juda: “Kahit na malakas at marami ang kalaban ninyong taga-Asiria, lilipulin ko sila hanggang sa mawala. Kahit na pinarusahan ko kayo, hindi ko na iyon uulitin pang muli. 13 Sapagkat palalayain ko na kayo ngayon mula sa kapangyarihan ng mga taga-Asiria.”

14 Ito naman ang sinasabi ng Panginoon sa mga taga-Asiria: “Mawawala ang lahi ninyo at wawasakin ko ang mga rebulto ninyong kahoy o metal sa templo ng inyong mga dios-diosan. Ihahanda ko na ang inyong mga libingan dahil hindi na kayo dapat mabuhay.”

15 Mga taga-Juda, tingnan ninyo ang kabundukan! Dumarating na ang mensaherong maghahatid ng magandang balita ng kapayapaan sa inyong bayan. Kaya ipagdiwang ninyo ang inyong mga pista, at tuparin ninyo ang inyong mga panata sa Panginoon. Sapagkat ang masamang bansa ng Asiria ay hindi na sasalakay sa inyo, dahil lubusan na silang lilipulin.

Footnotes

  3. 1:8 hanggang sa mamatay: sa literal, hanggang sa kailaliman; ang ibig sabihin, ang lugar ng mga patay.

    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)

    the rocks are shattered(W) before him.

7 The Lord is good,(X)

He cares for(Z) those who trust in him,(AA)
8     but with an overwhelming flood(AB)
he will make an end of Nineveh;

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)

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]
