1:1 The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elcesite.

1:1 onus Nineve liber visionis Naum Helcesei

1:2 The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.

1:2 Deus aemulator et ulciscens Dominus ulciscens Dominus et habens furorem ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos et irascens ipse inimicis suis

1:3 The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord's ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

1:3 Dominus patiens et magnus fortitudine et mundans non faciet innocentem Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius et nebulae pulvis pedum eius

1:4 He rebuketh the sea and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the flower of Libanus fadeth away.

1:4 increpans mare et exsiccans illud et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus et flos Libani elanguit

1:5 The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.

1:5 montes commoti sunt ab eo et colles adsolati sunt et contremuit terra a facie eius et orbis et omnes habitantes in eo

1:6 Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.

1:6 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

1:7 The Lord is good, and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.

1:7 bonus Dominus et confortans in die tribulationis et sciens sperantes in se

1:8 But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

1:8 et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae

1:9 What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction.

1:9 quid cogitatis contra Dominum consummationem ipse faciet non consurget duplex tribulatio

1:10 For as thorns embrace one another: so while they are feasting and drinking together, they shall be consumed as stubble that is fully dry.

1:10 quia sicut spinae se invicem conplectuntur sic convivium eorum pariter potantium consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena

1:11 Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind.

1:11 ex te exivit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam mente pertractans praevaricationem

1:12 Thus saith the Lord: Though they were perfect: and many of them so, yet thus shall they be cut off, and he shall pass: I have afflicted thee, and I will afflict thee no more.

1:12 haec dicit Dominus si perfecti fuerint et ita plures sic quoque adtondentur et pertransibit adflixi te et non adfligam te ultra

1:13 And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder.

1:13 et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo et vincula tua disrumpam

1:14 And the Lord will give a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name shall be sown: I will destroy the graven and molten thing out of the house of thy God, I will make it thy grave, for thou art disgraced.

1:14 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
