A justiça e misericórdia de Deus. A destruição de seus inimigos e o livramento do seu povo

Peso de Nínive. Livro da visão de Naum, o elcosita.

O Senhor é um Deus zeloso e que toma vingança; o Senhor toma vingança e é cheio de furor; o Senhor toma vingança contra os seus adversários e guarda a ira contra os seus inimigos. O Senhor é tardio em irar-se, mas grande em força e ao culpado não tem por inocente; o Senhor tem o seu caminho na tormenta e na tempestade, e as nuvens são o pó dos seus pés. Ele repreende o mar, e o faz secar, e esgota todos os rios; desfalecem Basã e Carmelo, e a flor do Líbano se murcha. Os montes tremem perante ele, e os outeiros se derretem; e a terra se levanta na sua presença, sim, o mundo e todos os que nele habitam. Quem parará diante do seu furor? E quem subsistirá diante do ardor da sua ira? A sua cólera se derramou como um fogo, e as rochas foram por ele derribadas. O Senhor é bom, uma fortaleza no dia da angústia, e conhece os que confiam nele. E com uma inundação transbordante acabará de uma vez com o seu lugar; e as trevas perseguirão os seus inimigos. Que pensais vós contra o Senhor? Ele mesmo vos consumirá de todo; não se levantará por duas vezes a angústia. 10 Porque, ainda que eles se entrelacem como os espinhos e se saturem de vinho como bêbados, serão inteiramente consumidos como palha seca.

11 De ti saiu um que pensa mal contra o Senhor, um conselheiro de Belial. 12 Assim diz o Senhor: Por mais seguros que estejam e por mais numerosos que sejam, ainda assim serão exterminados, e ele passará; eu te afligi, mas não te afligirei mais.

13 Mas, agora, quebrarei o seu jugo de cima de ti e romperei os teus laços. 14 Contra ti, porém, o Senhor deu ordem, que mais ninguém do teu nome seja semeado; da casa do teu deus exterminarei as imagens de escultura e de fundição; ali farei o teu sepulcro, porque és vil.

15 Eis sobre os montes os pés do que traz boas-novas, do que anuncia a paz! Celebra as tuas festas, ó Judá, cumpre os teus votos, porque o ímpio não tornará mais a passar por ti; ele é inteiramente exterminado.

The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

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.

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.

He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

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.

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.

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

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.

(A)An oracle concerning (B)Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.

God's Wrath Against Nineveh

(C)The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
    the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
(D)the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
    and (E)keeps wrath for his enemies.
(F)The Lord is slow to anger and (G)great in power,
    and (H)the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.
(I)His way is in whirlwind and storm,
    and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
(J)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry;
    he dries up all the rivers;
(K)Bashan and (L)Carmel wither;
    the bloom of (M)Lebanon withers.
(N)The mountains quake before him;
    (O)the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
    (P)the world and all who dwell in it.

(Q)Who can stand before his indignation?
    Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath (R)is poured out like fire,
    and (S)the rocks are broken into pieces by him.
(T)The Lord is good,
    (U)a stronghold in the day of trouble;
(V)he knows those who take refuge in him.
    But (W)with an overflowing flood
he will make a complete end of the adversaries,[a]
    and (X)will pursue his enemies into darkness.
What (Y)do you plot against the Lord?
    (Z)He will make a complete end;
    trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they are (AA)like entangled thorns,
    like drunkards as they drink;
    (AB)they are consumed like stubble fully dried.
11 From you came one
    (AC)who plotted evil against the Lord,
    a worthless counselor.

12 Thus says the Lord,
“Though they are at full strength and many,
    (AD)they will be cut down and pass away.
(AE)Though I have afflicted you,
    I will afflict you no more.
13 And now (AF)I will break his yoke from off you
    and will burst your bonds apart.”

14 The Lord has given commandment about you:
    (AG)“No more shall your name be perpetuated;
from (AH)the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the metal image.
(AI)I will make your grave, (AJ)for you are vile.”

15 [b] (AK)Behold, upon the mountains, (AL)the feet of him
    who brings good news,
    who publishes peace!
(AM)Keep your feasts, O Judah;
    (AN)fulfill your vows,
(AO)for never again shall the worthless pass through you;
    he is utterly cut off.
