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.
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
Living Bible
1 This is the vision God gave to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh, concerning the impending doom of Nineveh:[a]
2 God is jealous over those he loves; that is why he takes vengeance on those who hurt them. He furiously destroys their enemies. 3 He is slow in getting angry, but when aroused, his power is incredible, and he does not easily forgive. He shows his power in the terrors of the cyclone and the raging storms; clouds are billowing dust beneath his feet! 4 At his command the oceans and rivers become dry sand; the lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade away; the green forests of Lebanon wilt. 5 In his presence mountains quake and hills melt; the earth crumbles, and its people are destroyed.
6 Who can stand before an angry God? His fury is like fire; the mountains tumble down before his anger.
7 The Lord is good. When trouble comes, he is the place to go! And he knows everyone who trusts in him! 8 But he sweeps away his enemies with an overwhelming flood; he pursues them all night long.
9 What are you thinking of, Nineveh, to defy the Lord? He will stop you with one blow; he won’t need to strike again. 10 He tosses his enemies into the fire like a tangled mass of thorns. They burst into flames like straw. 11 Who is this king[b] of yours who dares to plot against the Lord? 12 But the Lord is not afraid of him! “Though he build his army millions strong,” the Lord declares, “it will vanish.
“O my people, I have punished you enough! 13 Now I will break your chains and release you from the yoke of slavery to this Assyrian king.” 14 And to the king he says, “I have ordered an end to your dynasty; your sons will never sit upon your throne. And I will destroy your gods and temples, and I will bury you! For how you stink with sin!”
15 See, the messengers come running down the mountains with glad news: “The invaders have been wiped out and we are safe!” O Judah, proclaim a day of thanksgiving and worship only the Lord, as you have vowed. For this enemy from Nineveh will never come again. He is cut off forever; he will never be seen again.

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.
