YLT
Young's Literal Translation
This
is
the
burden against
Nineveh ,
the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite :
Burden of
Nineveh .
The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite .
The
LORD
is
a jealous
and avenging God;
the
LORD
is avenging
and full
of
wrath
. The
LORD
takes
vengeance
on His foes
and reserves
wrath
for His enemies.
A God
zealous
and avenging `
is '
Jehovah,
An
avenger
`is'
Jehovah,
and possessing
fury
. An
avenger
`is'
Jehovah
on His adversaries,
And He
is
watching
for His enemies.
The
LORD
is slow to anger and great in power ;
the
LORD
will
by
no
means
leave
the
guilty
unpunished.
His
path
is
in the
whirlwind
and storm
, and clouds
are
the dust beneath
His feet.
Jehovah
`
is '
slow to anger ,
and great in power ,
And
Jehovah
doth
not
entirely
acquit,
In a
hurricane
and in
a
tempest
`is'
His
way
, And a
cloud
`is'
the dust of
His feet.
He rebukes
the
sea and dries
it up ;
He
makes
all the rivers
run
dry .
Bashan and Carmel wither
, and
the flower of Lebanon wilts
.
He is
pushing
against
a
sea ,
and drieth
it up ,
Yea,
all the floods
He
hath
made
dry ,
Languishing
`are'
Bashan and Carmel, Yea,
the flower of Lebanon `is'
languishing
.
The
mountains quake
before
Him, and the hills melt
away
; the earth trembles
at His presence —
the world and all its
dwellers
.
Mountains have
shaken
because
of
Him, And the hills have
been
melted
; And
lifted
up
`is'
the earth at His presence ,
And
the world and all dwelling
in
it
.
Who
can
withstand
His indignation? Who can
endure
His burning
anger? His wrath
is
poured out like fire ;
even
rocks are
shattered
before
Him.
Before
His indignation who
doth
stand
? And
who riseth
up
in
the
heat
of
His anger? His fury
hath
been
poured out like fire ,
And
the
rocks have
been
broken
by
Him.
The
LORD
is
good ,
a stronghold
in the
day of distress ;
He cares
for
those who
trust
in Him.
Good `is'
Jehovah
for
a strong
place
in a
day of distress .
And
He knoweth
those trusting
in Him.
But
with an
overwhelming
flood He
will
make
an end of Nineveh
and pursue
His enemies into
darkness.
And
with a
flood passing
over,
An end He
maketh
of its
place,
And His enemies doth
darkness pursue
.
Whatever
you
plot
against the
LORD,
He
will
bring
to
an end .
Affliction
will
not rise
up
a
second
time
.
What
do
we
devise
against Jehovah?
An end He
is
making,
arise
not twice
doth
distress
.
For they
will
be
entangled
as
with
thorns
and consumed
like
the
drink of
a
drunkard—
like
stubble that
is
fully dry
.
For while
princes
`are'
perplexed,
And with
their
drink are
drunken,
They
have
been
consumed
as
stubble fully dried
.
From you,
O
Nineveh,
comes
forth a plotter
of evil against the
LORD,
a counselor
of
wickedness
.
From thee
hath
come
forth a deviser
of evil Against Jehovah
--
a worthless
counsellor
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
Though they
are
allied
and numerous
, yet they will
be
cut down
and pass
away. Though
I have
afflicted you,
O
Judah
, I will
afflict you
no longer
.
Thus
said
Jehovah
: Though complete,
and thus
many
, Yet thus
they have
been
cut off,
And he
hath
passed
away. And
I afflicted thee
, I afflict thee
no more
.
For
I
will
now break their
yoke
from your
neck
and tear
away your
shackles
. ”
And
now I
break his
rod
from off
thee,
And thy
bands
I
do
draw
away.
The
LORD
has
issued
a
command
concerning you
, O
Nineveh:
“There
will
be
no descendants
to
carry
on
your
name .
I
will
cut
off
the
carved
image
and
cast
idol
from the house of your
gods ;
I will
prepare
your
grave, for you
are
contemptible
. ”
And
commanded
concerning thee
hath
Jehovah
, `
No more
of
thy
name doth
spread
abroad,
From the house of thy
gods I cut
off
graven
and
molten
image,
I
appoint
thy
grave, for thou
hast
been
vile
.
Look
to
the mountains —
the feet of one who
brings
good
news
, who
proclaims
peace! Celebrate your
feasts
, O Judah ;
fulfill
your
vows .
For the wicked
will
never
again
march
through
you;
they
will
be
utterly
cut off .
Lo,
on
the mountains the feet of one proclaiming
tidings
, sounding
peace! Celebrate, O Judah ,
thy
festivals,
complete
thy
vows ,
For add
no
more
to
pass
over
into
thee
doth
the worthless,
He
hath
been
completely
cut off !
