2. Yahweh is a jealous and vengeful God, Yahweh takes vengeance, he is rich in wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his foes, he stores up fury for his enemies.

2. Ein eifernder und rächender Gott ist der Herr. / Der Herr übt Rache und ist voll Zorn. Der Herr übt Rache an seinen Gegnern / und hält fest am Zorn gegen seine Feinde.

3. Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power, Yahweh never lets evil go unpunished. In storm and whirlwind he takes his way, the clouds are the dust stirred up by his feet.

3. Der Herr ist langmütig und von großer Macht; / doch lässt der Herr gewiss keinen ungestraft. In Wirbel und Sturm nimmt er seinen Weg, / die Wolken sind der Staub seiner Füße.

4. He rebukes the sea, dries it up, and makes all the rivers run dry. . . . Bashan and Carmel wither, the greenery of the Lebanon withers too.

4. Er droht dem Meer und macht es trocken, / alle Flüsse lässt er versiegen. Welk sind Baschan und Karmel, / auch die Blüten des Libanon sind verwelkt.

6. His fury -- who can withstand it? Who can endure his burning wrath? His anger pours out like fire and the rocks break apart before him.

6. Vor seinem Groll - wer kann da bestehen? / Wer hält stand in der Glut seines Zorns? Sein Grimm greift um sich wie Feuer / und die Felsen bersten vor ihm.

7. Yahweh is better than a fortress in time of distress; he recognises those who trust in him

7. Gut ist der Herr, / eine feste Burg am Tag der Not. / Er kennt alle, die Schutz suchen bei ihm.

8. even when the flood rushes on; he will make an end once and for all of those who defy him, and pursue his foes into darkness.

8. Doch in reißender Flut / macht er seinen Gegnern ein Ende / und Finsternis verfolgt seine Feinde.

9. What are your thoughts about Yahweh? He it is who makes a final end: his adversaries will not rise up a second time;

9. Was plant ihr gegen den Herrn? / Er macht doch ein Ende. / Es soll nicht wieder Not aufkommen.

10. like a thicket of tangled brambles, like dry straw, they will be burnt up completely. To Assyria

10. Wie dichtes Dornengestrüpp / und wie wirres Windengerank werden sie verbrannt, / wie dürre Spreu; nichts bleibt übrig.

11. From you has emerged someone plotting evil against Yahweh, one of Belial's counsellors. To Judah

11. Von dir stammt der Mann, / der Böses plant gegen den Herrn, / der Übles im Schild führt.

12. Yahweh says this: Unopposed and many though they be, they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have made you suffer, I shall make you suffer no more,

12. So spricht der Herr: Auch wenn sie unversehrt sind und zahlreich, / sie werden abgeschnitten, sie gehen vorüber. Habe ich dich auch gedemütigt, / ich werde dich nicht mehr demütigen.

13. for now I shall break his yoke which presses hard on you and snap your chains. To the king of Nineveh

13. Ja, jetzt zerbreche ich sein Joch, / das auf dir lastet, / und deine Fesseln werde ich sprengen.

14. As for you, this is Yahweh's decree: You will have no heirs to your name, from the temple of your gods I shall remove carved image and cast image, and I shall devastate your tomb, for you are accursed!

14. Der Herr hat über dich bestimmt: / Von dir soll es keinen Nachkommen mehr geben. Aus dem Haus deines Gottes / reiße ich Götze und Gussbild. Ich schaufle dein Grab; / denn du bist verächtlich geworden.

Notas de rodapé:

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).
