Prophetia Nahum, 1
1. onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei
1. The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite.
2. Deus æmulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis
2. The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.
3. Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viæ ejus et nebulæ pulvis pedum ejus
3. The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.
4. increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit
4. He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away.
5. montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie ejus et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo
5. The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.
6. ante faciem indignationis ejus quis stabit et quis resistet in ira furoris ejus indignatio ejus effusa est ut ignis et petræ dissolutæ sunt ab eo
6. Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.
7. bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se
7. The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.
8. et in diluvio prætereunte consummationem faciet loci ejus et inimicos ejus persequentur tenebræ
8. But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9. quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio
9. What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.
10. quia sicut spinæ se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena
10. For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.
11. ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans prævaricationem
11. Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.
12. hæc dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra
12. Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.
13. et nunc conteram virgam ejus de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam
13. And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.
14. et præcipiet super te Dominus non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile et conflatile ponam sepulchrum tuum quia inhonoratus es
14. And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.
15. ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis et adnuntiantis pacem celebra Juda festivitates tuas et redde vota tua quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial universus interiit
15. Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off.
