The Prophecy of Nahum
[Nahum 1] {1:1} The burden of Nineveh. The book of the
vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. {1:2} 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. {1:3} 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. {1:4} 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.
{1:5} 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. {1:6} 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. {1:7} The Lord is good, and a comforter in the
day of tribulation, and he knows those who hope in him.
{1:8} And in the flood that passes over, he brings to
consummation the end of his place. And darkness shall
pursue his adversaries. {1:9} What are you thinking up
against the Lord? He will accomplish the consummation.
There shall not rise up a double tribulation. {1:10} 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. {1:11} Out of you will go forth one who
thinks up evil against the Lord, dragging betrayals through
his mind. {1:12} 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. {1:13} And now I will shatter his rod
from your back, and I will break open your bonds.
{1:14} 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. {1:15} 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.
[Nahum 2] {2:1} He ascends, who would scatter before your
eyes, who would maintain the blockade. Contemplate the
way, fortify your back, reinforce virtue greatly. {2:2} For the
Lord has repaid the arrogance of Jacob, just like the
arrogance of Israel. For the despoilers have scattered them,
and they have corrupted their procreation. {2:3} The shield
of his strong ones is fire, the men of war are in scarlet. The
reins of the chariot are fiery in the day of his preparation, and
the drivers have been drugged. {2:4} They have become
confused on their journey. The four-horse chariots have
collided in the streets. Their appearance is like torches, like
lightning dashing around. {2:5} He will call to mind his
strong ones; they will destroy along their journey. They will
quickly ascend its walls, and a shelter will be prepared.
{2:6} The gates of the rivers have been opened, and the
temple has been pulled down to the ground. {2:7} And the
foot soldier has been led away captive, and her handmaids
were driven away, mourning like doves, murmuring in their
hearts. {2:8} And Nineveh, her waters are like a fish pond.
Yet truly, they have fled away: “Stand, stand!” But there is
no one who will turn back. {2:9} Despoil the silver, despoil
the gold. And there is no end to all the riches of desirable
equipment. {2:10} She has been scattered, and cut, and torn
apart. And the heart melts, and the knees buckle, and
weakness is in every temperament. And the faces of them all
are like a black kettle. {2:11} Where is the dwelling place of
the lions, and the feeding ground of the young lions, to which
the lion went, so as to open a way for the young lion, and so
that there would be none to make them afraid? {2:12} The
lion seized enough for his young, and killed enough for his
lionesses, and he filled his caves with prey, and his den with
spoils. {2:13} Behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of
hosts, and I will burn your chariots even to smoke, and the
sword will devour your young lions. And I will exterminate
your prey from the land, and the voice of your messengers
shall no longer be heard.
[Nahum 3] {3:1} Woe to the city of blood, filled with all
manner of lies and violence. Crime shall not depart from you:
{3:2} the voice of the whip, and the voice of the turning
wheels, and of the neighing horse, and the burning chariot,
and the horsemen who ride, {3:3} and of the flashing sword
and the shining spear, and of a multitude executed and a
grievous ruination. Neither is there an end to the dead bodies,
and they will fall down upon their dead bodies.
{3:4} Because of the multitude of fornications of the kept
woman, beautiful and pleasing and practicing evil deeds, who
sold nations by her fornications, and families by her evil
doing: {3:5} behold, I will come to you, says the Lord of
hosts, and I will reveal your shame to your face, and I will
show your nakedness to the Gentiles, and your disgrace to
kingdoms. {3:6} And I will cast abominations over you, and
I will afflict you with abuse, and I will make an example of
you. {3:7} And this shall be: everyone who sees you, will
recoil from you, and he will say: “Nineveh has been
devastated.” Who will shake his head over you? Where might
I seek consolation for you? {3:8} Are you better than the
populous Alexandria, which dwells along the rivers? Waters
encircle it: the sea, with its riches. The waters are its walls.
{3:9} Ethiopia and Egypt were its strength, and there is no
limit. Africa and Northern Africa have been your helpers.
{3:10} Nevertheless, she has been led away with the
transmigration into captivity. Her little ones have been
dashed in pieces at the top of every street, and they have cast
lots over her celebrities, and all her elite have been fastened
together in shackles. {3:11} Therefore, you also will become
inebriated, and you will be despised, and you will seek help
from the opposition. {3:12} All your fortresses will be like fig
trees with their green figs. If they are shaken violently, they
will fall into the mouth of the one who devours.
{3:13} Behold, women are at the center of your people. The
gates of your land will be opened wide for your enemies; fire
will devour your bars. {3:14} Draw in water because of the
blockade; build up your fortresses. Go into the clay and tread;
work it to make brick. {3:15} There, fire will devour you.
You will perish by the sword; it will devour you like the
beetle. Gather together like the beetle. Multiply like the locust.
{3:16} You have made more negotiations than there are stars
in the sky. The beetle has spread out and flown away.
{3:17} Your guardians are like locusts, and your little ones
are like locusts among locusts, which alight on hedges on a
cold day. The sun rose up, and they flew away, and there was
no way to know the place where they had been. {3:18} Your
shepherds have become drowsy, king Assur. Your princes
will be buried. Your people have remained hidden in the
mountains, and there is no one to gather them. {3:19} Your
destruction is not hidden; your wound is grievous. All who
have heard of your fame have clenched their hands over you,
because over whom has your wickedness not trampled
continually?
