حَبَقُّوق 1
| هَذِهِ رُؤْيَا حَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ: | ١ 1 |
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْتَجِيبُ؟ وَأَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَجِيراً مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
O Jehovah, how long shall I cry, and thou will not hear? I cry out to thee of violence, and thou will not save.
| لِمَاذَا تُرِينِي الإِثْمَ، وَتَتَحَمَّلُ رُؤْيَةَ الظُّلْمِ؟ أَيْنَمَا تَلَفَّتُّ أَشْهَدُ أَمَامِي جَوْراً وَاغْتِصَاباً، وَيَثُورُ حَوْلِي خِصَامٌ وَنِزَاعٌ. | ٣ 3 |
Why do thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? For destruction and violence are before me, and there is strife, and contention rises up.
| لِذَلِكَ بَطَلَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَبَادَ الْعَدْلُ لأَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يُحَاصِرُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ فَيَصْدُرُ الْحُكْمُ مُنْحَرِفاً عَنِ الْحَقِّ. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore the law is slacked, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked man surrounds the righteous man, therefore justice goes forth perverted.
| تَأَمَّلُوا الأُمَمَ وَأَبْصِرُوا. تَعَجَّبُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا لأَنِّي مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى إِنْجَازِ أَعْمَالٍ فِي عَهْدِكُمْ إِذَا حُدِّثْتُمْ بِها لَا تُصَدِّقُونَهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Behold ye scoffers, and look, and wonder marvelously. For I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
| فَهَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ الْحَانِقَةَ الْمُنْدَفِعَةَ الزَّاحِفَةَ فِي رِحَابِ الأَرْضِ، لِتَسْتَوْلِيَ عَلَى مَسَاكِنَ لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
| أُمَّةٌ مُخِيفَةٌ مُرْعِبَةٌ، تَسْتَمِدُّ حُكْمَهَا وَعَظَمَتَهَا مِنْ ذَاتِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
They are fearful and dreadful. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
| خُيُولُهَا أَسْرَعُ مِنَ النُّمُورِ، وَأَكْثَرُ ضَرَاوَةً مِنْ ذِئَابِ الْمَسَاءِ. فُرْسَانُهَا يَنْدَفِعُونَ بِكِبْرِيَاءَ قَادِمِينَ مِنْ أَمَاكِنَ بَعِيدَةٍ، مُتَسَابِقِينَ كَالنَّسْرِ الْمُسْرِعِ لِلانْقِضَاضِ عَلَى فَرِيسَتِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen press proudly on. Yea, their horsemen come from far. They fly as an eagle that hastens to devour.
| يُقْبِلُونَ جَمِيعُهُمْ لِيَعِيثُوا فَسَاداً، وَيَطْغَى الرُّعْبُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ قَبْلَ وُصُولِهِمْ، فَيَجْمَعُونَ أَسْرَى كَالرَّمْلِ. | ٩ 9 |
They come all of them for violence. The set of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand.
| يَهْزَأُونَ بِالْمُلُوكِ وَيَعْبَثُونَ بِالْحُكَّامِ. يَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الْحُصُونِ، يُكَوِّمُونَ حَوْلَهَا تِلالاً مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
Yea, he scoffs at kings, and rulers are a derision to him. He derides every stronghold, for he heaps up dust, and takes it.
| ثُمَّ يَجْتَاحُونَ كَالرِّيحِ وَيَرْحَلُونَ، فَقُوَّةُ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالِ هِيَ إِلَهُهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Then he shall sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty; he whose might is his god.
| أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، قُدُّوسِي؟ لِهَذَا لَنْ نَفْنَى. لَقَدْ أَقَمْتَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِمُقَاضَاتِنَا وَاخْتَرْتَهُمْ يَا صَخْرَتِي لِتُعَاقِبَنَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Are not thou from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Jehovah, thou have ordained him for judgment, and thou, O Rock, have established him for correction.
| إِنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ أَطْهَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تَشْهَدَا الشَّرَّ، وَأَنْتَ لَا تُطِيقُ رُؤْيَةَ الظُّلْمِ، فَكَيْفَ تَحْتَمِلُ مُشَاهَدَةَ الأَثَمَةِ، وَتَصْمُتُ عِنْدَمَا يَبْتَلِعُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ مَنْ هُمْ أَبَرُّ مِنْهُمْ؟ | ١٣ 13 |
Thou who are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and who cannot look on perverseness, why do thou look upon those who deal treacherously, and hold thy peace when the wicked man swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,
| وَكَيْفَ تَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ كَأَسْمَاكِ الْبَحْرِ، أَوْ كَأَسْرَابِ الْحَشَرَاتِ الَّتِي لَا قَائِدَ لَهَا؟ | ١٤ 14 |
and makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
| إِنَّ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ يَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُمْ بِالشُّصُوصِ، وَيَصْطَادُونَهُمْ بِالشَّبَكَةِ، وَيَجْمَعُونَهُمْ فِي مِصْيَدَتِهِمْ مُتَهَلِّلِينَ فَرِحِينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
He takes all of them up with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his drag. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
| لِهَذَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ذَبَائِحَ لِشِبَاكِهِمْ، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بَخُوراً لِمَصَائِدِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالرَّفَاهِيَةِ وَيَتَلَذَّذُونَ بِأَطَايِبِ الطَّعَامِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his drag, because by them his portion is fat, and his food plentiful.
| أَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يَظَلُّونَ يُفْرِغُونَ شِبَاكَهُمْ وَلا يَكُفُّونَ عَنْ إِهْلاكِ الأُمَمِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to kill the nations continually?
