< حَبَقُّوق 1 >
اَلْوَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي رَآهُ حَبَقُّوقُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ. | ١ 1 |
The prophecy which was revealed to the prophet Habakkuk.
حَتَّى مَتَى يَارَبُّ أَدْعُو وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْمَعُ؟ أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
How long, O Jehovah, do I cry, and thou dost not hear! How long do I complain to thee of violence, and thou dost not save!
لِمَ تُرِينِي إِثْمًا، وَتُبْصِرُ جَوْرًا؟ وَقُدَّامِي ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَظُلْمٌ وَيَحْدُثُ خِصَامٌ وَتَرْفَعُ ٱلْمُخَاصَمَةُ نَفْسَهَا. | ٣ 3 |
Why dost thou suffer me to see iniquity, And why dost thou look upon wickedness? For spoiling and violence are before me; There is contention, and strife exalteth itself.
لِذَلِكَ جَمَدَتِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ بَتَّةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ يُحِيطُ بِٱلصِّدِّيقِ، فَلِذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ مُعْوَجًّا. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore the law faileth, And judgment is not pronounced according to truth; For the wicked encompasseth the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment is pronounced.
«اُنْظُرُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأَبْصِرُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا حَيْرَةً. لِأَنِّي عَامِلٌ عَمَلًا فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ بِهِ إِنْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ. | ٥ 5 |
Behold ye among the nations, and look! Yea, wonder, and be astonished! For I do 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 behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, A fierce and swift people, Which go over the breadth of the earth, To take possession of dwelling-places that are not their own.
هِيَ هَائِلَةٌ وَمَخُوفَةٌ. مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهَا يَخْرُجُ حُكْمُهَا وَجَلَالُهَا. | ٧ 7 |
They are terrible and dreadful; From themselves go forth their law and their dignity.
وَخَيْلُهَا أَسْرَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّمُورِ، وَأَحَدُّ مِنْ ذِئَابِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَنْتَشِرُونَ، وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَيَطِيرُونَ كَٱلنَّسْرِ ٱلْمُسْرِعِ إِلَى ٱلْأَكْلِ. | ٨ 8 |
Their horses are swifter than leopards, And fiercer than evening wolves. Their horsemen leap proudly; Their horsemen come from far; They fly like an eagle, hastening to devour.
يَأْتُونَ كُلُّهُمْ لِلظُّلْمِ. مَنْظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى قُدَّامٍ، وَيَجْمَعُونَ سَبْيًا كَٱلرَّمْلِ. | ٩ 9 |
All of them come for violence; The multitude of their faces is directed forwards, And they gather captives as sand.
وَهِيَ تَسْخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ضُحْكَةٌ لَهَا. وَتَضْحَكُ عَلَى كُلِّ حِصْنٍ، وَتُكَوِّمُ ٱلتُّرَابَ وَتَأْخُذُهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
They also scoff at kings, And princes are to them a laughing-stock; They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earth and take it.
ثُمَّ تَتَعَدَّى رُوحُهَا فَتَعْبُرُ وَتَأْثَمُ. هَذِهِ قُوَّتُهَا إِلَهُهَا». | ١١ 11 |
Then their spirit is uplifted, and they transgress, and become guilty; This their strength is made their 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 Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We shall not die! Thou, O Jehovah, hast appointed them for judgment; Thou, O Rock, hast ordained them for chastisement.
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 wickedness; Why then dost thou look on transgressors, And art silent, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he?
وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَسَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، كَدَبَّابَاتٍ لَا سُلْطَانَ لَهَا. | ١٤ 14 |
And why makest thou men as the fishes of the sea, As the reptiles that have no ruler?
تُطْلِعُ ٱلْكُلَّ بِشِصِّهَا، وَتَصْطَادُهُمْ بِشَبَكَتِهَا وَتَجْمَعُهُمْ فِي مِصْيَدَتِهَا، فَلِذَلِكَ تَفْرَحُ وَتَبْتَهِجُ. | ١٥ 15 |
They take up all of them with the hook, They catch them in their net, And gather them in their drag; Therefore they rejoice and exult.
لِذَلِكَ تَذْبَحُ لِشَبَكَتِهَا، وَتُبَخِّرُ لِمِصْيَدَتِهَا، لِأَنَّهُ بِهِمَا سَمِنَ نَصِيبُهَا، وَطَعَامُهَا مُسَمَّنٌ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore they sacrifice to their net, And burn incense to their drag; Because by them their portion is fat, And their food plenteous.
أَفَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا تَفْرَغُ شَبَكَتُهَا وَلَا تَعْفُو عَنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ دَائِمًا؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Shall they therefore empty the net, And slay the nations continually without mercy?
