Nahum 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 A report on the problem of Nineveh, the way God gave Nahum of Elkosh to see it:

2 God is serious business. He won't be trifled with. He avenges his foes. He stands up against his enemies, fierce and raging.

3 But God doesn't lose his temper. He's powerful, but it's a patient power. Still, no one gets by with anything. Sooner or later, everyone pays. Tornadoes and hurricanes are the wake of his passage, Storm clouds are the dust he shakes off his feet.

4 He yells at the sea: It dries up. All the rivers run dry. The Bashan and Carmel mountains shrivel, the Lebanon orchards shrivel.

5 Mountains quake in their roots, hills dissolve into mud flats. Earth shakes in fear of God. The whole world's in a panic.

6 Who can face such towering anger? Who can stand up to this fierce rage? His anger spills out like a river of lava, his fury shatters boulders.

7 God is good, a hiding place in tough times. He recognizes and welcomes anyone looking for help,

8 No matter how desperate the trouble. But cozy islands of escape He wipes right off the map. No one gets away from God.

9 Why waste time conniving against God? He's putting an end to all such scheming. For troublemakers, no second chances.

10 Like a pile of dry brush, Soaked in oil, they'll go up in flames. A Think Tank for Lies

11 Nineveh's an anthill of evil plots against God, A think tank for lies that seduce and betray.

12 And God has something to say about all this: "Even though you're on top of the world, With all the applause and all the votes, you'll be mowed down flat. "I've afflicted you, Judah, true, but I won't afflict you again.

13 From now on I'm taking the yoke from your neck and splitting it up for kindling. I'm cutting you free from the ropes of your bondage."

14 God's orders on Nineveh: "You're the end of the line. It's all over with Nineveh. I'm gutting your temple. Your gods and goddesses go in the trash. I'm digging your grave. It's an unmarked grave. You're nothing - no, you're less than nothing!"

15 Look! Striding across the mountains - a messenger bringing the latest good news: peace! A holiday, Judah! Celebrate! Worship and recommit to God! No more worries about this enemy. This one is history. Close the books.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei

2 Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis

3 Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius et nebulae pulvis pedum eius

4 increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit

5 montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie eius et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo

6 ante faciem indignationis eius quis stabit et quis resistet in ira furoris eius indignatio eius effusa est ut ignis et petrae dissolutae sunt ab eo

7 bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se

8 et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae

9 quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio

10 quia sicut spinae se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena

11 ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans praevaricationem

12 haec dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra

13 et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam

14 et praecipiet super te Dominus non seminabitur ex nomine tuo amplius de domo Dei tui interficiam sculptile et conflatile ponam sepulchrum tuum quia inhonoratus es

15 ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis et adnuntiantis pacem celebra Iuda festivitates tuas et redde vota tua quia non adiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial universus interiit
