| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | The burden of Ninive. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elcesite. | Onus Ninive. Liber visionis Nahum Elcesaei. | ΛΗΜΜΑ Νινευὴ, βιβλίον ὁράσεως Ναοὺμ τοῦ Ἐλκεσαίου. |
| 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. | Deus aemulator, et ulciscens Dominus: ulciscens Dominus, et habens furorem: ulciscens Dominus in hostes suos, et irascens ipse inimicis suis. | Θεὸς ζηλωτὴς, καὶ ἐκδικῶν Κύριος, ἐκδικῶν Κύριος μετὰ θυμοῦ, ἐκδικῶν Κύριος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαίρων αὐτὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ. |
| 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. | Dominus patiens, et magnus fortitudine, et mundans non faciet innocentem. Dominus in tempestate et turbine viae eius, et nebulae pulvis pedum eius. | Κύριος μακρόθυμος, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀθῶον οὐκ ἀθωώσει Κύριος· ἐν συντελείᾳ, καὶ ἐν συσσεισμῷ ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ νεφέλαι κονιορτὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. |
| 4 | He rebuketh the sea, and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the dower of Libanus fadeth away. | Increpans mare, et exsiccans illud, et omnia flumina ad desertum deducens. Infirmatus est Basan et Carmelus, et flos Libani elanguit. | Ἀπειλῶν θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ξηραίνων αὐτὴν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμοὺς ἐξερημῶν· ὠλιγώθη ἡ Βασανίτις, καὶ ὁ Κάρμηλος, καὶ τὰ ἐξανθοῦντα τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐξέλιπε. |
| 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. | Montes commoti sunt ab eo, et colles desolati sunt: et contremuit terra a facie eius, et orbis, et omnes habitantes in eo. | Τὰ ὄρη ἐσείσθησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν· καὶ ἀνεστάλη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, ἡ σύμπασα καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ. |
| 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. | 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. | Ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεται ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ; ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ τήκει ἀρχὰς, καὶ αἱ πέτραι διεθρύβησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ. |
| 7 | The Lord is good and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him. | Bonus Dominus, et confortans in die tribulationis, et sciens sperantes in se. | Χρηστὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, καὶ γινώσκων τοὺς εὐλαβουμένους αὐτόν. |
| 8 | But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies. | Et in diluvio praetereunte consummationem faciet loci eius, et inimicos eius persequentur tenebrae. | Καὶ ἐν κατακλυσμῷ πορείας συντέλειαν ποιήσεται, τοὺς ἐπεγειρομένους καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ διώξεται σκότος. |
| 9 | What do ye devise against the Lord? he will make an utter end: there shall not rise a double affliction. | Quid cogitatis contra Dominum? Consummationem ipse faciet: non consurget duplex tribulatio, | Τί λογίζεσθε ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον; συντέλειαν αὐτὸς ποιήσεται, οὐκ ἐκδικήσει δὶς ἐπιτοαυτὸ ἐν θλίψει. |
| 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. | quia sicut spinae se invicem complectuntur, sic convivium eorum pariter potantium; consumentur quasi stipula ariditate plena. | Ὅτι ἕως θεμελίου αὐτοῦ χερσωθήσεται· καὶ ὡς σμῖλαξ περιπλεκομένη βρωθήσεται, καὶ ὡς καλάμη ξηρασίας μεστή. |
| 11 | Out of thee shall come forth one that imagineth evil against the Lord, contriving treachery in his mind. | Ex te exibit cogitans contra Dominum malitiam, mente pertractans praevaricationem. | Ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσεται λογισμὸς κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, πονηρὰ βουλευόμενος ἐναντία. |
| 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. | Haec dicit Dominus: Si perfecti fuerint, et ita plures, sic quoque attondentur, et pertransibit: afflixi te, et non affligam te ultra. | Τάδε λέγει Κύριος κατάρχων ὑδάτων πολλῶν, καὶ οὕτως διασταλήσονται, καὶ ἡ ἀκοή σου οὐκ ἐνακουσθήσεται ἔτι. |
| 13 | And now I will break in pieces his rod with which he struck thy back, and I will burst thy bonds asunder. | Et nunc conteram virgam eius de dorso tuo, et vincula tua disrumpam. | Καὶ νῦν συντρίψω τὴν ῥάβδον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς διαῤῥήξω. |
| 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. | 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. | Καὶ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ Κύριος, οὐ σπαρήσεται ἐκ τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ἔτι· ἐξ οἴκου θεοῦ σου ἐξολοθρεύσω τὰ γλυπτὰ, καὶ χωνευτὰ, θήσομαι ταφήν σου, ὅτι ταχεῖς. |
| 15 | Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, and that preacheth peace: O Juda, keep thy festivals, and pay thy vows: for Belial shall no more pass through thee again, he is utterly cut off. | Ecce super montes pedes evangelizantis, et annuntiantis pacem. Celebra, Iuda, festivitates tuas, et redde vota tua, quia non adiiciet ultra ut pertranseat in te Belial: universus interiit. | — |
