那鸿书 1

¹论尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿所得的默示。This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

²耶和华是忌邪施报的　神。耶和华施报大有忿怒；向他的敌人施报，向他的仇敌怀怒。The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.

³耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力，万不以有罪的为无罪。他乘旋风和暴风而来，云彩为他脚下的尘土。The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

⁴他斥责海，使海干了，使一切江河干涸。巴珊和迦密的树林衰残；黎巴嫩的花草也衰残了。He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.

⁵大山因他震动；小山也都消化。大地在他面前突起；世界和住在其间的也都如此。The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence—the world and all its dwellers.

⁶他发忿恨，谁能立得住呢？他发烈怒，谁能当得起呢？他的忿怒如火倾倒；磐石因他崩裂。Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

⁷耶和华本为善，在患难的日子为人的保障，并且认得那些投靠他的人。The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

⁸但他必以涨溢的洪水淹没尼尼微，又驱逐仇敌进入黑暗。But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

⁹尼尼微人哪，设何谋攻击耶和华呢？他必将你们灭绝净尽；灾难不再兴起。Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

¹⁰你们像丛杂的荆棘，像喝醉了的人，又如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard—like stubble that is fully dry.

¹¹有一人从你那里出来，图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.

¹²耶和华如此说：尼尼微虽然势力充足，人数繁多，也被剪除，归于无有。犹大啊，我虽然使你受苦，却不再使你受苦。This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.

¹³现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭，扭开他的绳索。For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”

¹⁴耶和华已经出令，指着尼尼微说：你名下的人必不留后；我必从你神的庙中除灭雕刻的偶像和铸造的偶像；我必因你鄙陋，使你归于坟墓。The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”

¹⁵看哪，有报好信传平安之人的脚登山，说：犹大啊，可以守你的节期，还你所许的愿吧！因为那恶人不再从你中间经过，他已灭绝净尽了。Look to the mountains—the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
