关于尼尼微的默示，就是伊勒歌斯人那鸿的异象书。
The burden concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

耶和华是忌邪施报的神；耶和华施报，且满有忿怒；耶和华向祂的敌人施报，向祂的仇敌怀怒。
Jehovah is a jealous God and One who avenges; / Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath; / Jehovah takes vengeance on His adversaries, / And reserves wrath for His enemies.

耶和华不轻易发怒，大有能力，绝不以有罪的为无罪；耶和华的道路在旋风和暴风中，云彩是祂脚下的尘土。
Jehovah is long-suffering and great in power / And will by no means clear the guilty. / Jehovah — His way is in the whirlwind and in the storm, / And the clouds are the dust of His feet.

祂斥责海，使海干了，使一切江河干涸。巴珊和迦密的树林衰残，利巴嫩的花草也衰残了。
He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, / And He dries up all the rivers. / Bashan and Carmel languish, / And the sprout of Lebanon languishes.

大山因祂震动，小山也都熔化；大地在祂面前突起，世界和住在其间的也都如此。
The mountains quake because of Him, / And the hills melt, / And the earth is heaved up at His presence, / Indeed the world, and all that inhabit it.

在祂的恼怒前，谁能站得住呢？祂发烈怒，谁能当得起呢？祂的忿怒如火倾倒，磐石因祂崩裂。
Who can stand before His indignation, / And who can maintain himself in the fierceness of His anger? / His wrath is poured out like fire, / And the rocks are broken down by Him.

耶和华本为善，在急难的日子作人的保障；祂认得那些投奔于祂的人。
Jehovah is good, / A stronghold in a day of distress; / And He knows those who take refuge in Him.

但祂必以泛滥的洪水将尼尼微灭绝净尽，又将祂的仇敌赶入黑暗。
But with an overflowing flood / He will make a full end of her place, / And He will pursue His enemies into darkness.

尼尼微人哪，你们设何谋攻击耶和华呢？祂必将你们灭绝净尽；灾难必不再次兴起。
What do you devise against Jehovah? / He will make a full end; / Distress will not arise a second time.

他们虽像缠结的荆棘，像喝醉了的人，却必如枯干的碎秸全然烧灭。
For though they are entangled like thorns / And like those drunken with their drink, / They will be consumed as fully as dry stubble.

有一人从你那里出来，图谋邪恶，设恶计攻击耶和华。
One went forth from you / Who devises evil against Jehovah, / Who counsels wickedness.

耶和华如此说，他们虽然人数充足繁多，也必被剪除消逝。犹大啊，我虽然使你受苦，却不再使你受苦。
Thus says Jehovah, / Though they are complete in number and even numerous, / Even so they will be cut down; and they will pass away. / And though I have afflicted you, / I will afflict you no more.

现在我必从你颈项上折断他的轭，扭开你的绳索。
And now I will break his yoke from off you / And will snap your bonds asunder.

尼尼微啊，耶和华已经出令，指着你说，你的名必不再散播；我必从你神的庙中，除灭雕制的偶像，和铸造的偶像；我必因你的卑劣，为你预备坟墓。
And Jehovah has commanded concerning you: / No more of your name will be sown; / Out of the house of your gods I will cut off / The graven idol and the molten idol; / I will make your grave, for you are worthless.

看哪，报好信传平安之人的脚登山，说，犹大啊，当守你的节期，还你所许的愿；因为那恶人必不再从你中间经过；他已全然被剪除了。
See, upon the mountains / The feet of him who bears the glad news, / Who announces peace! / Keep your feasts, O Judah; / Complete your vows; / For the wicked one will never again / Pass through you; / He will be completely cut off.
