1 Uthenga umene mneneri Habakuku analandira mʼmasomphenya.
Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama, Kaabakuuku nnabbi bwe yafuna.
2 Kodi inu Yehova, ndidzakhala ndikukupemphani thandizo kwa nthawi yayitali motani, koma wosayankha? Kapena kufuwulira kwa inu kuti, “Chiwawa kuno!” koma wosatipulumutsa?
Ayi Mukama, ndituusa ddi okukukaabirira naye nga tompuliriza? Lwaki nkukaabirira nti, “Ebikolwa eby’obukambwe bimpitiriddeko,” naye n’otonnyamba?
3 Chifukwa chiyani mukundionetsa zinthu zoyipa? Chifukwa chiyani mukundionetsa mavutowa? Ndikuona chiwonongeko ndi chiwawa; pali ndewu ndi kukangana kwambiri.
Lwaki ondaga obutali bwenkanya era lwaki ogumiikiriza obukyamu? Kubanga okuzikiriza n’ebikolwa eby’obukambwe biri mu maaso gange, empaka n’ennyombo byeyongede.
4 Kotero malamulo anu atha mphamvu, ndipo chilungamo sichikugwira ntchito. Anthu oyipa aposa olungama, kotero apotoza chilungamo.
Amateeka kyegavudde gatagonderwa era n’obwenkanya ne butakolebwa. Ababi be basinga abatuukirivu obungi era babeebunguludde, n’obwenkanya ne bulinnyirirwa.
5 “Yangʼanani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndipo penyetsetsani, ndipo muthedwe nazo nzeru. Pakuti ndidzachitadi zinthu pa nthawi yanu zimene inu simudzazikhulupirira, ngakhale wina atakufotokozerani.
“Mutunuulire amawanga, mwetegereze. Mwewuunyize ddala nnyo. Kubanga ŋŋenda kukola omulimu mu nnaku zammwe gwe mutalikkiriza newaakubadde nga mugubuuliddwa.
6 Pakuti taonani, Ine ndikuwutsa Ababuloni, anthu ankhanza ndiponso amphamvu, amene amapita pa dziko lonse lapansi kukalanda malo amene si awo.
Kubanga laba, nkuyimusiza Abakaludaaya, eggwanga eryo eririna ettima era ekkambwe, ababunye ensi eno n’eri nga bawamba amawanga agatali gaabwe.
7 Iwowa ndi anthu ochititsa mantha, ndipo ndi owopsa; amadzipangira okha malamulo ndi kudzipezera okha ulemu.
Ba ntiisa, batiibwa, be beetekera amateeka gaabwe era be bagassa mu nkola, nga balwanirira ekitiibwa kyabwe.
8 Akavalo awo ndi aliwiro kwambiri kupambana akambuku ndi owopsa kupambana mimbulu yolusa nthawi ya madzulo. Okwerapo awo akuthamanga molunjika; a pa akavalo awo ndi ochokera kutali, akuwuluka ngati chiwombankhanga chofuna kugwira nyama;
Embalaasi zaabwe zidduka okukira engo, era mu bukambwe zikira emisege egy’ekiro. Abasajja abeebagala embalaasi bava mu nsi ey’ewala era bajja beesaasaanyizza ne banguwa okutuuka ng’ensega bw’erumba ky’eneerya.
9 onse akubwera atakonzekera zachiwawa. Gulu la ankhondo likubwera ngati mphepo ya mʼchipululu ndi kugwira akapolo ochuluka ngati mchenga.
Bajja n’eryanyi bonna, ebibinja byabwe birumba ng’embuyaga ey’omu ddungu; ne balyoka bayoola abawambe abangi ng’omusenyu.
10 Akunyoza mafumu ndiponso kuchitira chipongwe olamulira. Akupeputsa mizinda yonse yotetezedwa; akumanga mitumbira ndi kulanda mizindayo.
Weewaawo, basekerera bakabaka ne baduulira n’abakungu. Basekerera buli kibuga ekiriko ekigo ne bakituumako ebifunfugu ne balinnyira okwo, ne bakiwamba.
11 Kenaka amasesa mofulumira ngati mphepo nʼkumangopitirirabe, anthu ochimwa, amene mphamvu zawo ndiye mulungu wawo.”
Awo ne bayita nga bakunta ng’embuyaga; abantu bano omusango be gwasinga, eryanyi lyabwe ye katonda waabwe.”
12 Inu Yehova, kodi sindinu wachikhalire? Mulungu wanga, Woyera wanga, ife sitidzafa. Inu Yehova, munawasankha anthuwo kuti abweretse chiweruzo; Inu Thanthwe, munawayika iwowo kuti atilange.
Ayi Mukama toli wa mirembe na mirembe, ggwe Mukama Katonda wange, si ggwe Mutukuvu wange? Tetulifa. Ayi Mukama ggwe wabateekawo n’obawa amaanyi batusalire emisango. Era ggwe Olwazi, wabateekawo kubonereza.
13 Maso anu ndi oyera kwambiri safuna kuona choyipa; Inu simulekerera cholakwa. Chifukwa chiyani nanga mukulekerera anthu ochita zachinyengowa? Chifukwa chiyani muli chete pamene anthu oyipa akuwononga anthu olungama kupambana iwowo?
Amaaso go gajjudde obulongoofu tegatunula ku kibi, so toyinza kugumiikiriza bukyamu. Kale lwaki ggwe ogumiikiriza ab’enkwe, n’osirika ng’omubi amalirawo ddala omuntu amusinga obutuukirivu?
14 Mwasandutsa anthu kukhala ngati nsomba zamʼnyanja, ngati zolengedwa zamʼnyanja zimene zilibe wolamulira.
Kubanga abantu obafudde ng’ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja, ng’ebitonde eby’omu nnyanja ebitaliiko abifuga.
15 Mdani wawo woyipa amakoka anthu onse ndi mbedza, amawakola mu ukonde wake, amawasonkhanitsa mu khoka lake; kotero iyeyo amakondwa ndi kusangalala.
Omulabe omubi abakwata bonna ng’eddobo, oluusi n’abawalula mu katimba ke, n’abakuŋŋaanya mu kiragala kye n’alyoka asanyuka n’ajaguza.
16 Choncho iye amaperekera nsembe ukonde wake ndiponso kufukizira lubani khoka lake, popeza ukonde wakewo ndiye umamubweretsera moyo wapamwamba ndipo amadya chakudya chabwino kwambiri.
Kyava awaayo ssaddaaka eri akatimba ke n’ayotereza n’ekiragala kye obubaane; akatimba ke kamuwa obulamu obw’okwejalabya, n’alya emmere ey’ekigagga.
17 Kodi iye azipitirabe kugwiritsa ntchito makoka akewo, kuwononga mitundu ya anthu mopanda chifundo?
Kale, bwe batyo bwe banaalekebwa okutikkula obutimba bwabwe, n’okusaanyaawo amawanga awatali kusaasira?
