حَبَقُّوق 3

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِحَبَقُّوقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّجَوِيَّةِ:

The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet:

٢ 2 يَارَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرَكَ فَجَزِعْتُ. يَارَبُّ، عَمَلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ أَحْيِهِ. فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ عَرِّفْ. فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱذْكُرِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ.

Yahweh, I have heard your report, and I am afraid. Yahweh, revive your work in the midst of these times; in the midst of these times make it known; remember to have compassion in your wrath.

٣ 3 ٱللهُ جَاءَ مِنْ تِيمَانَ، وَٱلْقُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ. سِلَاهْ. جَلَالُهُ غَطَّى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ.

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ لَمَعَانٌ كَٱلنُّورِ. لَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ شُعَاعٌ، وَهُنَاكَ ٱسْتِتَارُ قُدْرَتِهِ.

With brightness like the light, two-pronged rays flash from his hand; and there he hid his power.

٥ 5 قُدَّامَهُ ذَهَبَ ٱلْوَبَأُ، وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتِ ٱلْحُمَّى.

Deadly disease went before him, and the plague followed him.

٦ 6 وَقَفَ وَقَاسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. نَظَرَ فَرَجَفَ ٱلْأُمَمُ وَدُكَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلدَّهْرِيَّةُ وَخَسَفَتْ آكَامُ ٱلْقِدَمِ. مَسَالِكُ ٱلْأَزَلِ لَهُ.

He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations. Even the eternal mountains were shattered, and the everlasting hills bowed down. His path is everlasting.

٧ 7 رَأَيْتُ خِيَامَ كُوشَانَ تَحْتَ بَلِيَّةٍ. رَجَفَتْ شُقَقُ أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction, and the fabric of the tents in the land of Midian trembling.

٨ 8 هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ حَمِيَ يَارَبُّ؟ هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ غَضَبُكَ؟ أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَخَطُكَ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ رَكِبْتَ خَيْلَكَ، مَرْكَبَاتِكَ مَرْكَبَاتِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ؟

Was Yahweh angry at the rivers? Was your wrath against the rivers, or your fury against the sea, when you rode upon your horses and your victorious chariots?

٩ 9 عُرِّيَتْ قَوْسُكَ تَعْرِيَةً. سُبَاعِيَّاتُ سِهَامٍ كَلِمَتُكَ. سِلَاهْ. شَقَّقْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَنْهَارًا.

You have brought out your bow without a cover; you put arrows to your bow! (Selah) You divided the earth with rivers.

١٠ 10 أَبْصَرَتْكَ فَفَزِعَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ. سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ طَمَا. أَعْطَتِ ٱللُّجَّةُ صَوْتَهَا. رَفَعَتْ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ.

The mountains saw you and twisted in pain. Downpours of water passed over them; the deep sea raised a shout. It lifted up its waves.

١١ 11 اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَقَفَا فِي بُرُوجِهِمَا لِنُورِ سِهَامِكَ ٱلطَّائِرَةِ، لِلَمَعَانِ بَرْقِ مَجْدِكَ.

The sun and moon stood still in their high places at the flash of your arrows as they fly, at the lightning of your flashing spear.

١٢ 12 بِغَضَبٍ خَطَرْتَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِسَخَطٍ دُسْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ.

You have marched over the earth with indignation. In wrath you have threshed the nations.

١٣ 13 خَرَجْتَ لِخَلَاصِ شَعْبِكَ، لِخَلَاصِ مَسِيحِكَ. سَحَقْتَ رَأْسَ بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مُعَرِّيًا ٱلْأَسَاسَ حَتَّى ٱلْعُنُقِ. سِلَاهْ.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed one. You shatter the head of the house of the wicked to lay bare from the base up to the neck. (Selah)

١٤ 14 ثَقَبْتَ بِسِهَامِهِ رَأْسَ قَبَائِلِهِ. عَصَفُوا لِتَشْتِيتِي. ٱبْتِهَاجُهُمْ كَمَا لِأَكْلِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فِي ٱلْخُفْيَةِ.

You have pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows since they came like a storm to scatter us, their gloating was like one who devours the poor in a hiding place.

١٥ 15 سَلَكْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ، كُوَمَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ.

You have traveled over the sea with your horses, and heaped up the great waters.

١٦ 16 سَمِعْتُ فَٱرْتَعَدَتْ أَحْشَائِي. مِنَ ٱلصَّوْتِ رَجَفَتْ شَفَتَايَ. دَخَلَ ٱلنَّخْرُ فِي عِظَامِي، وَٱرْتَعَدْتُ فِي مَكَانِي لِأَسْتَرِيحَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ، عِنْدَ صُعُودِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي يَزْحَمُنَا.

I heard, and my inner parts trembled! My lips quivered at the sound. Decay comes into my bones, and under myself I tremble as I wait quietly for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

١٧ 17 فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُزْهِرُ ٱلتِّينُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ حَمْلٌ فِي ٱلْكُرُومِ. يَكْذِبُ عَمَلُ ٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ، وَٱلْحُقُولُ لَا تَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا. يَنْقَطِعُ ٱلْغَنَمُ مِنَ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، وَلَا بَقَرَ فِي ٱلْمَذَاوِدِ،

Though the fig tree does not bud and there is no produce from the vines; and though the produce of the olive tree disappoints and the fields yield no food; and though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, this is what I will do.

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي.

Still, I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful because of the God of my salvation.

١٩ 19 اَلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ قُوَّتِي، وَيَجْعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَٱلْأَيَائِلِ، وَيُمَشِّينِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي. لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى آلَاتِي ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ.

The Lord Yahweh is my strength and he makes my feet like the deer's. He makes me go forward on my high places. —To the music director, on my stringed instruments.
