1有關尼尼微的預言以下是對尼尼微的宣判，就是伊勒歌斯人那鴻的異象錄。
1The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2嫉惡和施行報復的 神耶和華是嫉惡和施行報復的 神；耶和華施行報復，並且滿懷烈怒；耶和華向他的對頭施行報復，向他的仇敵懷怒。
2Jehovah is a jealous God and avengeth; Jehovah avengeth and is full of wrath; Jehovah taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.
3耶和華不輕易發怒，可是大有能力；他絕不以有罪的為無罪。耶和華乘著狂風暴雨而來，雲彩是他腳下的塵土。
3Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means clear [the guilty]: Jehovah hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4他一斥責海，海就乾了；他使一切江河枯乾。巴珊和迦密的樹林枯槁，黎巴嫩的花卉凋殘。
4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5大山在他面前震動，小山也都融化；大地在他面前廢去，世界和所有住在世上的，也都這樣。
5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt; and the earth is upheaved at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6在他盛怒之下，誰能站得住呢？他的烈怒誰能受得了呢？他的忿怒像火一般噴出來，磐石在他面前都崩裂了。
6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken asunder by him.
7耶和華是良善的；在患難的時候，他作人的避難所；信靠他的人，他都認識。
7Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that take refuge in him.
8但他必用氾濫的洪水，盡行毀滅尼尼微之地，把他的仇敵趕入黑暗之中。
8But with an over-running flood he will make a full end of her place, and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9警告尼尼微尼尼微人哪，你們對耶和華還有甚麼企圖？他必盡行毀滅；患難必不再次來臨。
9What do ye devise against Jehovah? he will make a full end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10他們像纏結著的荊棘，像喝醉了的酒徒，又像枯乾的禾秸，全都被吞滅了。
10For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble.
11有人從你那裡出來，就是籌劃奸惡的人，圖謀惡事攻擊耶和華。
11There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.
12安慰猶大耶和華這樣說：尼尼微人雖然裝備完整，人數眾多，他們仍必被剪除，這樣就完了。我既然使你受過苦，就一定不再叫你受苦了。
12Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13猶大啊！現在我必粉碎他在你身上的軛，打斷你的鎖鍊。
13And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14尼尼微啊！耶和華已經向你下了命令：你的名字必不再傳於後世；我必從你的神廟中，除掉雕刻和鑄造的偶像；我必為你預備墳墓，因為你沒有存在的價值。
14And Jehovah hath given commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image; I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15看哪！那傳報佳音、宣告和平之人的腳，已經站在山上，說：猶大啊！守你的節期，還你的願吧！因為那奸惡的人永不會再從你中間經過；他已被徹底除滅了。（本節在《馬索拉抄本》為2:1）
15Behold, upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! Keep thy feasts, O Judah, perform thy vows; for the wicked one shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
