Nahum, 1

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

1. Proroèanstvo nad Ninivom. Knjiga viðenja Nahuma Elkošanina.

2. God is a rival, and the Lord is avenging. The Lord is avenging, and one who applies wrath. The Lord is avenging with his enemies, and he becomes angry with his adversaries.

2. Jahve je Bog ljubomoran i osvetnik! Jahve se osveæuje, gospodar srdžbe! Jahve se osveæuje svojim protivnicima, ustrajan u gnjevu na neprijatelje.

3. The Lord is patient and great in strength, and those who are not clean, he makes innocent. The Lord is in a tempest, and his way is a whirlwind, and the clouds are dust at his feet.

3. Jahve je spor u gnjevu, ali silan u moæi. Ne, Jahve neæe pustiti krivca nekažnjena. U vihoru i oluji put je njegov, oblaci su prašina koju podižu njegovi koraci.

4. He is the one who rebukes the sea, and who dries it up, and who leads all the rivers to the desert. Basan has been weakened, and also Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon has languished.

4. Prijeti moru i isušuje ga, presušuje sve rijeke. ...Bašan i Karmel uvenuli su, povenuli su pupoljci Libana!

5. The mountains have trembled before him, and the hills have become desolate, and the earth has quaked before his face, both the world and all that dwells in it.

5. Pred njim se gore potresaju, bregovi se ljuljaju, zemlja se pod njim provaljuje, krug zemaljski i sve što na njem stanuje.

6. Who can stand firm before the face of his indignation? And who can continue against the fury of his wrath? His indignation has broken out like a fire, and the rocks have been dissolved before him.

6. Tko može izdržati pred bijesom njegovim? Tko æe odoljeti pred gnjevnom srdžbom njegovom? Jarost se njegova kao vatra izlijeva i litice se pred njim kidaju.

7. The Lord is good, and a comforter in the day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.

7. Jahve je dobar onima koji se u njeg' uzdaju, on je okrilje u dan nevolje, poznaje one koji se njemu utjeèu

8. And in the flood that passes over, he brings to consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall pursue his adversaries.

8. kada potopne vode poplave. Uništit æe one koji se protiv njega podižu, progonit æe svoje dušmane u najmrkliji mrak.

9. What are you thinking up against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation. There shall not rise up a double tribulation.

9. Što vi snujete protiv Jahve? On uništava do kraja; nevolja se neæe dva puta podiæi.

10. For just as thorns entwine one another, so also, while they are feasting and drinking together, they will be consumed like stubble that is completely dry.

10. Kao trnovita šikara i kao pijanci na pijanki, k'o suha slama bit æe potpuno smlavljeni.

11. Out of you will go forth one who thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through his mind.

11. Iz tebe je potekao onaj koji snuje zlo protiv Jahve, savjetnik Belijala.

12. Thus says the Lord: If they had been perfect, and many of them so, yet still they would be pruned, and it will cross through them. I have afflicted you, and I shall afflict you no more.

12. Jahve ovako govori: "Neka su spremni, neka mnogobrojni, bit æe pokošeni, uništeni. Ako sam te ponizio, neæu te odsada ponižavati.

13. And now I will shatter his rod from your back, and I will break open your bonds.

13. A sada, razbit æu jaram koji te steže, raskidat æu tvoje okove."

14. And the Lord will place a commandment over you; nothing more from your name will be sown. From the house of your God, I will order destroyed the graven image and the molten image. I will prepare your grave, because you are not honorable.

14. Protiv tebe Jahve nareðuje: "Neæe više biti roda tvoga imena, iz hrama tvojih bogova istrijebit æu likove rezane i livene, a od tvog groba ruglo æu uèiniti."

15. Behold, over the mountains, the feet of the Evangelizer and the Announcer of peace. Judah, celebrate your festivals and keep your vows. For Belial will never again pass through you; he has completely passed away.

15.

Note a piè di pagina:

1:1-2 - Nahum's prophecy begins with a declaration of God's justice and wrath against Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. God is described as zealous and avenging, always acting justly to punish the enemies of His people. This reflects God's sovereignty over the nations (see also Deuteronomy 32:35 and Romans 12:19).

1:3-6 - God's wrath is powerful and uncontrollable, but at the same time, He is good and a refuge for those who seek Him. These verses contrast the destruction of enemies with divine protection for the righteous, showing God's dual character: just and merciful (see also Psalm 34:18 and Romans 8:1).

1:7-8 - Nahum declares that God is a refuge for those who seek His protection, but for Israel's enemies, destruction is imminent. The promise of salvation for the righteous and destruction for the wicked emphasizes God's faithfulness to His promises (see also Psalm 9:9 and Isaiah 63:1-6).

1:9-11 - God promises that Nineveh, the great and wicked city, will be destroyed. This verse is a clear warning about the consequences of sin and oppression, illustrating how the wickedness of the nations will eventually be punished (see also Isaiah 10:12 and Revelation 18:6).

1:12-15 - Nahum prophesies that the Assyrian oppression will be stopped and that Israel will experience relief. God's victory over the oppressors brings hope to the righteous, affirming that despite suffering, God always acts on behalf of His people (see also Isaiah 10:27 and Matthew 11:28-30).
