Nahúm 1
Nueva Biblia Viva
1 Estas son las visiones que Dios le dio a Nahúm, que vivió en Elcós, acerca de la inminente destrucción de Nínive.
Manifestación del Señor
2 El Señor es celoso con todos los que ama y por eso castiga a los que les causan daño y destruye a sus enemigos con furor. 3 El Señor no se enoja fácilmente, pero cuando está airado, su poder supera todo lo imaginable y no considera inocente al culpable. Él muestra su poder también en la naturaleza, como cuando camina sobre el ciclón y la tormenta, y está tan alto que podemos imaginar que las nubes son el polvo de sus pies. 4 Es capaz de secar el mar cuando lanza su potente voz, así como el río puede quedar como arena seca. Cuando él se manifiesta las praderas de Basán y del monte Carmelo se marchitan y la vegetación del Líbano desaparece. 5 Ante su presencia tiemblan los montes y se derriten las colinas; la tierra tiembla y los pueblos son destruidos.
6 ¿Quién puede permanecer en pie ante la cólera de Dios? Su enojo es como el ardor del fuego, que es capaz de arrasar con todo lo que se ponga a su paso; hasta las montañas tiemblan cuando Dios da rienda suelta a su enojo.
Destrucción de Nínive
7 Pero el Señor es bueno. Cuando llegan la angustia y la desesperación él es el mejor refugio. Protege a todos los que en él ponen su confianza; él conoce bien a los que le son fieles. 8 Pero también arrasa a sus enemigos como torrente que se desborda. ¡Hasta de noche perseguirá a sus enemigos!
9 Gente, ¿qué están pensando, que se atreven a desafiar al Señor? ¡Él los destruirá de un solo golpe! ¡Ustedes no tendrán una segunda oportunidad! 10 El Señor arroja a sus enemigos en el fuego como si fueran espinos; entonces ellos arden como si fueran paja. 11 Nínive, de ti ha salido el malvado consejero que se atreve a imaginar que puede hacerle daño al Señor.
Liberación del opresor
12 Así ha dicho el Señor: «¡Aunque los asirios sean muy fuertes y numerosos, los voy a destruir por completo! Y a ti, Judá, pueblo mío, que te he castigado mucho, ya no te castigaré más. 13 Ahora romperé tus cadenas y te libraré de la esclavitud de este rey asirio». 14 Pero acerca de ti, Nínive, el Señor ha dicho: «He decidido el fin de tu dinastía real; los descendientes de tus reyes no se sentarán jamás sobre tu trono. Y yo destruiré tus dioses y tus templos, y te sepultaré, porque te has aferrado a la maldad».
Anuncio de la victoria sobre Nínive
15 ¡Miren! Mensajeros descienden de las montañas trayendo buenas noticias: «Los invasores han sido derrotados y hemos sido salvados». ¡Judá, celebra un día de acción de gracias y ríndele un homenaje al Señor como prometiste, porque nunca más volverás a ser atacada por Nínive! ¡Ha sido destruida para siempre! ¡Jamás la volveremos a ver!
Nahum 1
New King James Version
God’s Mercy and Judgment
1 The [a]burden (A)against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
God’s Wrath on His Enemies
2 God is (B)jealous, and the Lord avenges;
The Lord avenges and is furious.
The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries,
And He reserves wrath for His enemies;
3 The Lord is (C)slow to anger and (D)great in power,
And will not at all acquit the wicked.
(E)The Lord has His way
In the whirlwind and in the storm,
And the clouds are the dust of His feet.
4 (F)He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
And dries up all the rivers.
(G)Bashan and Carmel wither,
And the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him,
The hills melt,
And the earth [b]heaves at His presence,
Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.
6 Who can stand before His indignation?
And (H)who can endure the fierceness of His anger?
His fury is poured out like fire,
And the rocks are thrown down by Him.
7 (I)The Lord is good,
A stronghold in the day of trouble;
And (J)He knows those who trust in Him.
8 But with an overflowing flood
He will make an utter end of its place,
And darkness will pursue His enemies.
9 (K)What do you [c]conspire against the Lord?
(L)He will make an utter end of it.
Affliction will not rise up a second time.
10 For while tangled (M)like thorns,
(N)And while drunken like drunkards,
(O)They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.
11 From you comes forth one
Who plots evil against the Lord,
A [d]wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord:
“Though they are [e]safe, and likewise many,
Yet in this manner they will be (P)cut down
When he passes through.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more;
13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
And burst your bonds apart.”
14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:
[f]“Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
Out of the house of your gods
I will cut off the carved image and the molded image.
I will dig your (Q)grave,
For you are (R)vile.”[g]
15 Behold, on the mountains
The (S)feet of him who brings good tidings,
Who proclaims peace!
O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,
Perform your vows.
For the [h]wicked one shall no more pass through you;
He is (T)utterly cut off.

Nahum 1
New International Version
1 A prophecy(A) concerning Nineveh.(B) The book of the vision(C) of Nahum the Elkoshite.
The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
2 The Lord is a jealous(D) and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance(E) and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.(F)
3 The Lord is slow to anger(G) but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.(H)
His way is in the whirlwind(I) and the storm,(J)
and clouds(K) are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes(L) the sea and dries it up;(M)
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel(N) wither
and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
5 The mountains quake(O) before him
and the hills melt away.(P)
The earth trembles(Q) at his presence,
the world and all who live in it.(R)
6 Who can withstand(S) his indignation?
Who can endure(T) his fierce anger?(U)
His wrath is poured out like fire;(V)
the rocks are shattered(W) before him.
7 The Lord is good,(X)
a refuge in times of trouble.(Y)
He cares for(Z) those who trust in him,(AA)
8 but with an overwhelming flood(AB)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.
9 Whatever they plot(AC) against the Lord
he will bring[a] to an end;
trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(AD)
and drunk(AE) from their wine;
they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](AF)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
who plots evil against the Lord
and devises wicked plans.
12 This is what the Lord says:
“Although they have allies and are numerous,
they will be destroyed(AG) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
I will afflict you no more.(AH)
13 Now I will break their yoke(AI) from your neck
and tear your shackles away.”(AJ)
