حَبَقُّوق 1
| هَذِهِ رُؤْيَا حَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ: | ١ 1 |
The message seen by the prophet Habakkuk.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْتَجِيبُ؟ وَأَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَجِيراً مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
How long, Lord, have I cried out and without you hearing me! I cry to you, ‘Violence!’ but you do not help.
| لِمَاذَا تُرِينِي الإِثْمَ، وَتَتَحَمَّلُ رُؤْيَةَ الظُّلْمِ؟ أَيْنَمَا تَلَفَّتُّ أَشْهَدُ أَمَامِي جَوْراً وَاغْتِصَاباً، وَيَثُورُ حَوْلِي خِصَامٌ وَنِزَاعٌ. | ٣ 3 |
Why do you make me look upon wickedness and behold trouble? Destruction and violence are before my eyes, and fighting and quarrelling.
| لِذَلِكَ بَطَلَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَبَادَ الْعَدْلُ لأَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يُحَاصِرُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ فَيَصْدُرُ الْحُكْمُ مُنْحَرِفاً عَنِ الْحَقِّ. | ٤ 4 |
Therefore the law is weak, and justice is never rendered; for the wicked surround the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
| تَأَمَّلُوا الأُمَمَ وَأَبْصِرُوا. تَعَجَّبُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا لأَنِّي مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى إِنْجَازِ أَعْمَالٍ فِي عَهْدِكُمْ إِذَا حُدِّثْتُمْ بِها لَا تُصَدِّقُونَهَا. | ٥ 5 |
Look at the nations, look well, be shocked and amazed. For I am about to do a work in your days; you will not believe it when it is told.
| فَهَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ، هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ الْحَانِقَةَ الْمُنْدَفِعَةَ الزَّاحِفَةَ فِي رِحَابِ الأَرْضِ، لِتَسْتَوْلِيَ عَلَى مَسَاكِنَ لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. | ٦ 6 |
For I am about to raise up the Chaldeans, a nation grim and quick of action who sweep over the whole breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.
| أُمَّةٌ مُخِيفَةٌ مُرْعِبَةٌ، تَسْتَمِدُّ حُكْمَهَا وَعَظَمَتَهَا مِنْ ذَاتِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
They bring fear and terror. They write their own rules.
| 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 are swifter than leopards, quicker than wolves hunting at dusk. From afar they come swooping down, like an eagle attacking its prey.
| يُقْبِلُونَ جَمِيعُهُمْ لِيَعِيثُوا فَسَاداً، وَيَطْغَى الرُّعْبُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ قَبْلَ وُصُولِهِمْ، فَيَجْمَعُونَ أَسْرَى كَالرَّمْلِ. | ٩ 9 |
They all come to do violence, a horde like a desert wind, they gather up captives like sand.
| يَهْزَأُونَ بِالْمُلُوكِ وَيَعْبَثُونَ بِالْحُكَّامِ. يَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الْحُصُونِ، يُكَوِّمُونَ حَوْلَهَا تِلالاً مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَيْهَا. | ١٠ 10 |
At kings they scoff, and princes are sport to them. They laugh at every fortress, and heap up earth to take it.
| ثُمَّ يَجْتَاحُونَ كَالرِّيحِ وَيَرْحَلُونَ، فَقُوَّةُ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالِ هِيَ إِلَهُهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Then they sweep on like the wind, Their strength is their god.
| أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، قُدُّوسِي؟ لِهَذَا لَنْ نَفْنَى. لَقَدْ أَقَمْتَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِمُقَاضَاتِنَا وَاخْتَرْتَهُمْ يَا صَخْرَتِي لِتُعَاقِبَنَا. | ١٢ 12 |
Are you not eternal, Lord, my holy one, who does not die? Lord you have appointed them to execute judgment, my rock, you have established them to punish.
| 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 |
Your eyes are too pure to look at evil, you cannot condone iniquity. So why do you regard the treacherous in silence, while the wicked swallows the upright?
| وَكَيْفَ تَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ كَأَسْمَاكِ الْبَحْرِ، أَوْ كَأَسْرَابِ الْحَشَرَاتِ الَّتِي لَا قَائِدَ لَهَا؟ | ١٤ 14 |
You have made people like the fish of the sea, like reptiles that have no ruler.
| إِنَّ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ يَسْتَخْرِجُونَهُمْ بِالشُّصُوصِ، وَيَصْطَادُونَهُمْ بِالشَّبَكَةِ، وَيَجْمَعُونَهُمْ فِي مِصْيَدَتِهِمْ مُتَهَلِّلِينَ فَرِحِينَ. | ١٥ 15 |
The wicked sweep them all into their nets, and gather them into their drag-nets, and rejoice and celebrate.
| لِهَذَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ذَبَائِحَ لِشِبَاكِهِمْ، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بَخُوراً لِمَصَائِدِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالرَّفَاهِيَةِ وَيَتَلَذَّذُونَ بِأَطَايِبِ الطَّعَامِ. | ١٦ 16 |
Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn offerings to their drag-net; for by their nets are their portions generous, and their food is rich.
| أَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يَظَلُّونَ يُفْرِغُونَ شِبَاكَهُمْ وَلا يَكُفُّونَ عَنْ إِهْلاكِ الأُمَمِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Will they empty their nets continually, slaughter nations unpityingly?
