Nahum 1
Holman Christian Standard Bible
1 The oracle concerning Nineveh.(A) The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
God’s Vengeance
2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance
and is fierce in[a] wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance against His foes;
He is furious with His enemies.(B)
3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.(C)
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
4 He rebukes the sea so that it dries up,
and He makes all the rivers run dry.(D)
Bashan and Carmel wither;(E)
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt;
the earth trembles[b][c] at His presence—
the world and all who live in it.(F)
6 Who can withstand His indignation?
Who can endure His burning anger?(G)
His wrath is poured out like fire,
even rocks are shattered before Him.
Destruction of Nineveh
7 The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
He cares for those who take refuge(H) in Him.
8 But He will completely destroy Nineveh[d]
with an overwhelming flood,(I)
and He will chase His enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you[e] plot against the Lord,
He will bring it to complete destruction;(J)
oppression will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(K)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[f]
11 One has gone out from you,[g]
who plots evil against Yahweh,
and is a wicked counselor.
Promise of Judah’s Deliverance
12 This is what the Lord says:
Though they are strong[h] and numerous,
they will still be mowed down,
and he[i] will pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,[j](L)
I will afflict you no longer.(M)
13 For I will now break off his yoke from you
and tear off your shackles.
The Assyrian King’s Demise
14 The Lord has issued an order concerning you:
There will be no offspring
to carry on your name.[k](N)
I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image
from the house of your gods;(O)
I will prepare your grave,
for you are contemptible.
15 [l]Look to the mountains—
the feet of one bringing good news(P)
and proclaiming peace!
Celebrate your festivals, Judah;
fulfill your vows.
For the wicked one will never again
march through you;
he will be entirely wiped out.

and vents his wrath against his enemies.(F)
3 The Lord is slow to anger(G) but great in power;

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)

Наум 1
Священное Писание (Восточный перевод), версия для Таджикистана
1 Пророчество о Ниневии. Книга видений Наума из Елкоша.
Гнев Вечного против Ниневии
2 Вечный[a] – ревнивый и мстительный Бог;
Вечный мстительный и гневливый.
Вечный мстит Своим врагам
и помнит зло недругов Своих.
3 Вечный долготерпелив и велик в Своём могуществе;
Вечный не оставит виновных без наказания.
Его шествие – в буре и вихре,
облака – пыль от Его ног.
4 Он приказывает морю, и оно высыхает,
рекам – и они иссякают.
Богатые пастбища Бошона и Кармила увядают,
блекнут цветы на Ливане.[b]
5 Сотрясаются перед Ним горы,
и тают холмы.
Земля трепещет перед Его лицом,
трепещет мир и всё живущее в нём.
6 Кто устоит перед Его негодованием?
И кто сможет выдержать Его пылающий гнев?
Подобно огню разливается Его гнев,
скалы рассыпаются перед Ним.
7 Вечный благ,
Он – убежище в дни бедствий.
Он заботится о тех, кто Ему доверяет,
8 но всепотопляющим наводнением
Он разрушит Ниневию до основания;
мрак настигнет Его врагов.
9 Что бы они ни замышляли против Вечного,[c]
Он истребит их до конца,
и бедствие уже не повторится.
10 Они запутаются в терновнике
и будут пьяны от вина;
они будут уничтожены, как сухое жнивьё.
11 Из тебя, Ниневия, вышел тот,
кто замышляет злое против Вечного,
кто советует беззаконное.
12 Так говорит Вечный:
– Хотя они сильны и многочисленны,
они будут уничтожены и исчезнут,
а тебя, Иудея, раньше Я отягощал,
но впредь уже не стану.
13 И теперь Я сокрушу их ярмо, что на твоей шее,
и разорву твои оковы.
14 Вечный дал следующее повеление о тебе, Ниневия:
– Не станет у тебя потомков,
носящих твоё имя.
Я разрушу твоих идолов и уничтожу истуканы,
что находятся в храмах твоих богов.
Я приготовлю тебе могилу,
потому что ты проклята.
15 Смотри, идёт по горам гонец, несущий радостную весть,
провозглашающий мир!
Отмечай свои праздники, Иудея,
исполняй свои обещания.
Не вторгнется больше беззаконный в твои владения,
потому что будет полностью уничтожен.
