Caractère et puissance de Dieu
1 Oracle sur Ninive. Livre de la prophétie de Nahum, d’Elkosch.
2 L’Eternel est un Dieu jaloux, il se venge;
L’Eternel se venge, il est plein de fureur;
L’Eternel se venge de ses adversaires,
Il garde rancune à ses ennemis.
3 L’Eternel est lent à la colère, il est grand par sa force;
Il ne laisse pas impuni.
L’Eternel marche dans la tempête, dans le tourbillon;
Les nuées sont la poussière de ses pieds.
4 Il menace la mer et la dessèche,
Il fait tarir tous les fleuves;
Le Basan et le Carmel languissent,
La fleur du Liban se flétrit.
5 Les montagnes s’ébranlent devant lui,
Et les collines se fondent;
La terre se soulève devant sa face,
Le monde et tous ses habitants.
6 Qui résistera devant sa fureur?
Qui tiendra contre son ardente colère?
Sa fureur se répand comme le feu,
Et les rochers se brisent devant lui.
7 L’Eternel est bon,
Il est un refuge au jour de la détresse;
Il connaît ceux qui se confient en lui.
8 Mais avec des flots qui déborderont
Il détruira la ville[a],
Et il poursuivra ses ennemis jusque dans les ténèbres.
Annonce de la destruction de Ninive
9 Que méditez-vous contre l’Eternel?
C’est lui qui détruit.
La détresse ne paraîtra pas deux fois.
10 Car entrelacés comme des épines,
Et comme ivres de leur vin,
Ils seront consumés
Comme la paille sèche, entièrement.
11 De toi est sorti
Celui qui méditait le mal contre l’Eternel,
Celui qui avait de méchants desseins.
12 Ainsi parle l’Eternel:
Quoique intacts et nombreux,
Ils seront moissonnés et disparaîtront.
Je veux t’humilier,
Pour ne plus avoir à t’humilier…
13 Je briserai maintenant son joug de dessus toi,
Et je romprai tes liens…
14 Voici ce qu’a ordonné sur toi l’Eternel:
Tu n’auras plus de descendants qui portent ton nom;
J’enlèverai de la maison de ton dieu les images taillées ou en métal fondu;
Je préparerai ton sépulcre, car tu es trop léger.

Description de l’Eternel
1 Message sur Ninive[a]. Livre de la vision de Nahum, d'Elkosh.
2 L'Eternel est un Dieu jaloux, il se venge.
L'Eternel se venge, il est plein de fureur.
L'Eternel se venge de ses adversaires,
il garde rancune à ses ennemis.
3 L'Eternel est lent à la colère, il est grand par sa force,
mais il ne laisse pas impuni.
L'Eternel marche dans la tempête, dans le tourbillon;
les nuages sont la poussière de ses pieds.
4 Il menace la mer et l’assèche,
il met tous les fleuves à sec.
Le Basan et le Carmel sont flétris,
elle est flétrie, la fleur du Liban.
5 Les montagnes tremblent devant lui,
et les collines s’effondrent.
La terre se soulève devant lui,
le monde et tous ses habitants.
6 Qui résistera devant son indignation?
Qui tiendra contre son ardente colère?
Sa fureur se propage comme le feu
et les rochers se brisent devant lui.
7 L'Eternel est bon,
il est un refuge le jour de la détresse,
il connaît ceux qui se confient en lui,
8 mais avec des flots qui déborderont
il détruira cet endroit,
et il poursuivra ses ennemis jusque dans les ténèbres.
Annonce de la destruction de Ninive
9 Que méditez-vous contre l'Eternel?
C'est lui qui détruit.
La détresse ne se lèvera pas deux fois,
10 car entrelacés comme des buissons d’épines
et comme ivres de leur vin,
ils[b] seront dévorés
comme la paille sèche, entièrement.
11 De toi[c] est sorti
celui qui méditait le mal contre l'Eternel,
l’homme aux conseils pervers.
12 Voici ce que dit l'Eternel:
«Même s'ils sont au complet et nombreux,
ils seront fauchés et disparaîtront.
Je t’ai humilié
pour ne plus avoir à t'humilier.
13 Je briserai maintenant la domination qu’il exerce sur toi
et j’arracherai tes liens.»
14 Voici ce que l'Eternel a ordonné à ton sujet[d]:
«Tu n'auras plus de descendant qui porte ton nom.
Je supprimerai du temple de ton dieu les sculptures sacrées ou les idoles en métal fondu.
Je préparerai ta tombe, car tu ne fais pas le poids.»

New International Version
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)

King James Version
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.

God’s Mercy and Judgment
1 The [a]burden (A)against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is (B)jealous, and the Lord avenges;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is (C)slow to anger and (D)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
(E)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 (F)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(G)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [b]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And (H)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
7 (I)The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And (J)He knows those who trust in Him.
8 But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,
And darkness will pursue His enemies.
9 (K)What do you [c]conspire against the Lord?
(L)He will make an utter end of it.
Affliction will not rise up a second time.
10 For while tangled (M)like thorns,
(N)And while drunken like drunkards,
(O)They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.
11 From you comes forth one
Who plots evil against the Lord,
A [d]wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord:
“Though they are [e]safe, and likewise many,
Yet in this manner they will be (P)cut down
When he passes through.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more;
13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
And burst your bonds apart.”
14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
[f]“Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
Out of the house of your gods
I will cut off the carved image and the molded image.
I will dig your (Q)grave,
For you are (R)vile.”[g]
15 Behold, on the mountains
The (S)feet of him who brings good tidings,
Who proclaims peace!
O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,
Perform your vows.
For the [h]wicked one shall no more pass through you;
He is (T)utterly cut off.
