< حَبَقُّوق 1 >
اَلْوَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي رَآهُ حَبَقُّوقُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ. | ١ 1 |
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
حَتَّى مَتَى يَارَبُّ أَدْعُو وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْمَعُ؟ أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
O Yhwh, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
لِمَ تُرِينِي إِثْمًا، وَتُبْصِرُ جَوْرًا؟ وَقُدَّامِي ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَظُلْمٌ وَيَحْدُثُ خِصَامٌ وَتَرْفَعُ ٱلْمُخَاصَمَةُ نَفْسَهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
لِذَلِكَ جَمَدَتِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ بَتَّةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ يُحِيطُ بِٱلصِّدِّيقِ، فَلِذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ مُعْوَجًّا. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
«اُنْظُرُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأَبْصِرُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا حَيْرَةً. لِأَنِّي عَامِلٌ عَمَلًا فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ بِهِ إِنْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
فَهَأَنَذَا مُقِيمٌ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ ٱلْمُرَّةَ ٱلْقَاحِمَةَ ٱلسَّالِكَةَ فِي رِحَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِتَمْلِكَ مَسَاكِنَ لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
هِيَ هَائِلَةٌ وَمَخُوفَةٌ. مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهَا يَخْرُجُ حُكْمُهَا وَجَلَالُهَا. | ٧ 7 |
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
وَخَيْلُهَا أَسْرَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّمُورِ، وَأَحَدُّ مِنْ ذِئَابِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَنْتَشِرُونَ، وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَيَطِيرُونَ كَٱلنَّسْرِ ٱلْمُسْرِعِ إِلَى ٱلْأَكْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
يَأْتُونَ كُلُّهُمْ لِلظُّلْمِ. مَنْظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى قُدَّامٍ، وَيَجْمَعُونَ سَبْيًا كَٱلرَّمْلِ. | ٩ 9 |
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
وَهِيَ تَسْخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ضُحْكَةٌ لَهَا. وَتَضْحَكُ عَلَى كُلِّ حِصْنٍ، وَتُكَوِّمُ ٱلتُّرَابَ وَتَأْخُذُهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
ثُمَّ تَتَعَدَّى رُوحُهَا فَتَعْبُرُ وَتَأْثَمُ. هَذِهِ قُوَّتُهَا إِلَهُهَا». | ١١ 11 |
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي قُدُّوسِي؟ لَا نَمُوتُ. يَارَبُّ لِلْحُكْمِ جَعَلْتَهَا، وَيَا صَخْرُ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Art thou not from everlasting, O Yhwh my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Yhwh, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
عَيْنَاكَ أَطْهَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْظُرَا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلنَّظَرَ إِلَى ٱلْجَوْرِ، فَلِمَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ، وَتَصْمُتُ حِينَ يَبْلَعُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ مَنْ هُوَ أَبَرُّ مِنْهُ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَسَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، كَدَبَّابَاتٍ لَا سُلْطَانَ لَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
تُطْلِعُ ٱلْكُلَّ بِشِصِّهَا، وَتَصْطَادُهُمْ بِشَبَكَتِهَا وَتَجْمَعُهُمْ فِي مِصْيَدَتِهَا، فَلِذَلِكَ تَفْرَحُ وَتَبْتَهِجُ. | ١٥ 15 |
They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
لِذَلِكَ تَذْبَحُ لِشَبَكَتِهَا، وَتُبَخِّرُ لِمِصْيَدَتِهَا، لِأَنَّهُ بِهِمَا سَمِنَ نَصِيبُهَا، وَطَعَامُهَا مُسَمَّنٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
أَفَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا تَفْرَغُ شَبَكَتُهَا وَلَا تَعْفُو عَنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ دَائِمًا؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
