Nahúm 1
La Biblia de las Américas
La ira de Dios contra Nínive
1 Profecía [a](A) sobre Nínive(B). Libro de la visión de Nahúm de Elcos.
2 Dios celoso y vengador es el Señor(C);
vengador es el Señor e irascible[b].
El Señor se venga de sus adversarios(D),
y guarda rencor a sus enemigos.
3 El Señor es lento para la ira y grande en poder(E),
y ciertamente el Señor no dejará impune al culpable.
En el torbellino y la tempestad está su camino(F),
y las nubes son el polvo de sus pies(G).
4 El reprende al mar y lo hace secar,
y todos los ríos agota(H).
Languidecen Basán y el Carmelo,
y las flores del Líbano se marchitan(I).
5 Los montes tiemblan ante Él(J),
y los collados se derriten(K);
sí, en su presencia se levanta la tierra(L),
el mundo y todos los que en él habitan(M).
6 En presencia de su indignación, ¿quién resistirá(N)?
¿Quién se mantendrá en pie ante el ardor de su ira(O)?
Su furor se derrama como fuego(P),
y las rocas se despedazan ante Él(Q).
7 Bueno es el Señor,
una fortaleza en el día de la angustia(R),
y conoce a los que en Él se refugian(S).
8 Pero con inundación desbordante(T)
pondrá fin a Nínive[c],
y perseguirá a sus enemigos aun en las tinieblas(U).
9 Lo que traméis contra el Señor(V),
Él lo hará completa destrucción(W);
no surgirá dos veces la angustia.
10 Porque ellos como espinos enmarañados(X),
y ebrios con su bebida(Y),
serán consumidos como paja totalmente seca(Z).
11 De ti ha salido
el que ha tramado el mal contra el Señor(AA),
un consejero perverso[d](AB).
12 Así dice el Señor:
Aunque estén con todo su vigor y por más que sean muchos,
aun así serán cortados y desaparecerán(AC).
Aunque te haya afligido,
no te afligiré más(AD).
13 Y ahora, quebraré su yugo de sobre ti,
y romperé tus coyundas(AE).
14 El Señor ha dado una orden en cuanto a ti[e]:
No se perpetuará[f] más tu nombre(AF).
De la casa de tus dioses
arrancaré los ídolos[g] y las imágenes(AG) de fundición.
Yo prepararé tu sepultura(AH), porque eres vil.
15 [h]He aquí sobre los montes
los pies del que trae buenas nuevas(AI),
del que anuncia la paz.
Celebra tus fiestas(AJ), Judá,
cumple tus votos.
Porque nunca más volverá
a pasar por ti el malvado[i](AK);
ha sido exterminado por completo(AL).

Nahum 1
Lexham English Bible
Superscription
1 The oracle concerning Nineveh—
the scroll of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance against His Enemies
2 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging;
Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath.[a]
Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies;
he rages against his adversaries.
3 Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power;
he will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished.
He marches[b] in storm wind and in gale;
storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes the sea and he dries up the rivers;
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither;[c]
the blossom of Lebanon languishes.
5 Mountains quake before him;
the hills shake apart.[d]
The earth heaves before him—
the world and all her inhabitants.
6 His indignation—who can stand before it?
Who can endure his fierce anger?[e]
His wrath is poured out like fire;
rocks are shattered before[f] him.
7 Yahweh is good—a refuge in the day of distress;
he knows those who take refuge in him.
8 But with a rushing torrent he will bring Nineveh to an end;
he will chase his enemies into darkness.
Yahweh Will Destroy Nineveh
9 What[g] do you plot against Yahweh?
He will completely destroy it;[h]
trouble will not rise up a second time!
10 For like entangled thorns,
and like their drink which is drunk,
they will be consumed like fully dry chaff.
11 From you goes out one who plots evil against Yahweh,
one who plans wickedness.
Yahweh Will Deliver Judah and Destroy Nineveh
12 Yahweh says this:
“Even though they are powerful and likewise many,
even so they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[i]
I will afflict you[j] no longer.
13 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you;
I will snap your bonds.”
14 Yahweh has commanded concerning you:
“Your name will no longer be sown.
I will cut off the idols and images[k] from the temple[l] of your gods;
I will send you to the grave[m] because you are worthless.”
15 [n] Look! On the mountains!
The feet of the one who brings good tidings,
the one who proclaims peace!
“Celebrate a festival, O Judah,
Fulfill your vows!
For he will not invade you again;
the wicked one is cut off completely!”

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.
