حَبَقُّوق 1
| هَذِهِ رُؤْيَا حَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ: | ١ 1 |
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
| إِلَى مَتَى يَا رَبُّ أَسْتَغِيثُ وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْتَجِيبُ؟ وَأَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مُسْتَجِيراً مِنَ الظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ 2 |
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
| لِمَاذَا تُرِينِي الإِثْمَ، وَتَتَحَمَّلُ رُؤْيَةَ الظُّلْمِ؟ أَيْنَمَا تَلَفَّتُّ أَشْهَدُ أَمَامِي جَوْراً وَاغْتِصَاباً، وَيَثُورُ حَوْلِي خِصَامٌ وَنِزَاعٌ. | 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 بَطَلَتِ الشَّرِيعَةُ، وَبَادَ الْعَدْلُ لأَنَّ الأَشْرَارَ يُحَاصِرُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ فَيَصْدُرُ الْحُكْمُ مُنْحَرِفاً عَنِ الْحَقِّ. | 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.
| تَأَمَّلُوا الأُمَمَ وَأَبْصِرُوا. تَعَجَّبُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا لأَنِّي مُقْبِلٌ عَلَى إِنْجَازِ أَعْمَالٍ فِي عَهْدِكُمْ إِذَا حُدِّثْتُمْ بِها لَا تُصَدِّقُونَهَا. | 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].
| 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, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
| أُمَّةٌ مُخِيفَةٌ مُرْعِبَةٌ، تَسْتَمِدُّ حُكْمَهَا وَعَظَمَتَهَا مِنْ ذَاتِهَا. | ٧ 7 |
They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of 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 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.
| يُقْبِلُونَ جَمِيعُهُمْ لِيَعِيثُوا فَسَاداً، وَيَطْغَى الرُّعْبُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ قَبْلَ وُصُولِهِمْ، فَيَجْمَعُونَ أَسْرَى كَالرَّمْلِ. | 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.
| يَهْزَأُونَ بِالْمُلُوكِ وَيَعْبَثُونَ بِالْحُكَّامِ. يَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الْحُصُونِ، يُكَوِّمُونَ حَوْلَهَا تِلالاً مِنَ التُّرَابِ، وَيَسْتَوْلُونَ عَلَيْهَا. | 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 يَجْتَاحُونَ كَالرِّيحِ وَيَرْحَلُونَ، فَقُوَّةُ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجَالِ هِيَ إِلَهُهُمْ. | ١١ 11 |
Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
| أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مُنْذُ الأَزَلِ أَيُّهَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهِي، قُدُّوسِي؟ لِهَذَا لَنْ نَفْنَى. لَقَدْ أَقَمْتَ الْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ لِمُقَاضَاتِنَا وَاخْتَرْتَهُمْ يَا صَخْرَتِي لِتُعَاقِبَنَا. | ١٢ 12 |
[Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them 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 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?
| وَكَيْفَ تَجْعَلُ النَّاسَ كَأَسْمَاكِ الْبَحْرِ، أَوْ كَأَسْرَابِ الْحَشَرَاتِ الَّتِي لَا قَائِدَ لَهَا؟ | ١٤ 14 |
And makest 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 |
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.
| لِهَذَا هُمْ يُقَرِّبُونَ ذَبَائِحَ لِشِبَاكِهِمْ، وَيُحْرِقُونَ بَخُوراً لِمَصَائِدِهِمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ بِفَضْلِهَا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ بِالرَّفَاهِيَةِ وَيَتَلَذَّذُونَ بِأَطَايِبِ الطَّعَامِ. | 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.
| أَمِنْ أَجْلِ هَذَا يَظَلُّونَ يُفْرِغُونَ شِبَاكَهُمْ وَلا يَكُفُّونَ عَنْ إِهْلاكِ الأُمَمِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ؟ | ١٧ 17 |
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
