Habakkuk 3
1 Profet Habakkuk e ratoumnae, Shigionoth la.
A PRAYER of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2 Oe BAWIPA kai ni na lawk ka thai teh ka taki toe. Atu e kumnaw dawk na thaw tawk e a kamnue teh ka hmu toe. Na lungkhuek ei nakunghai, na lungmanae teh na pahnim hoeh.
O LORD, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 Cathut teh Teiman kho hai thoseh, Tami Kathoung teh Paran koehoi thoseh, a tho. Bawilennae ni kalvan a ramuk teh, a bawilennae ni talai van akawi.
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 A meilam teh kanî patetlah ao. A kut dawk kaawm e a bahu teh a raeng lah a tâco.
And [his] brightness was as the light; he had rays [coming forth] from his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 A hmalah runae ni a cei teh, a hnuklah patawnae ni a kâbang.
Before him went the pestilence, and fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
6 A kangdue teh talaipui a bangnue. A khet nah miphunnaw a tâlueng awh. Ayan e monnaw ni a kâbawng awh teh, kacakpounge monruinaw a tip awh. Hatei, Bawipa teh a lamthung dawk poe a cei.
He stood, and measured the earth; he beheld, and drove asunder the nations: and the eternal mountains were scattered, the everlasting hills did bow; his goings were [as] of old.
7 Kushan ram dawk e rimnaw ni roedengnae a kâhmo awh teh, Midian ram dawk e yaphninaw a kâhuet e hah ka hmu.
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Oe BAWIPA, Nang ni rungngangnae rangleng na kâcui nahanelah, tuipuinaw koe na lungkhuek na maw. Tuipui hoi na kâtaran maw.
Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers, or thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses, upon thy chariots of salvation?
9 Nang ni catounnaw koe lawkkam na tâ e patetlah lilava coungkacoe na rasa sin toe, talai dawk tuinaw na phuek sak toe.
Thy bow was made quite bare; the oaths to the tribes were a [sure] word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 Monnaw ni BAWIPA a hmu awh navah a kâhuet awh. Ka poum e tuinaw ni muen a ramuk. Tuipuinaw ni a hram awh teh a kut a dâw awh.
The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; the tempest of waters passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 Kanî hoi thapa ni amamae hmuen dawk ao awh. Ahnimae a angnae dawk pala ni a cei teh, a raeng dawk tahroe hai sumpa lah a palik.
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation; at the light of thine arrows as they went, at the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 A lungkhuek laihoi ram pueng dawk a cei teh, a lungkhueknae ni miphunnaw hah koung a coungroe.
Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13 Bawipa e a taminaw rungngangnae hanelah na tho teh, satui na awi e naw rungngang hanlah na tho. Tami kalan hoeh e im teh imthungkhu koehoi rep na kanawi pouh teh a carawng koe totouh na raphoe pouh.
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, for the salvation of thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. (Selah)
14 Ransabawinaw e a lû hah palanaw hoi pawkkayawng lah a ka pouh. Ahnimouh teh kaimouh palek sak hanelah tûilî kathout patetlah a tho awh. Mathoenaw kei hanelah a lunghawi awh.
Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors: they came as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Bawipa nang ni marangnaw na kâcui teh athakaawme tuicapa lungui na cei.
Thou didst tread the sea with thine horses, the heap of mighty waters.
16 Na pâpho lawk ka thai navah ka lung a tâlueng, ka kam ka cakuep, ka hru a hmawn, ka takbuem a pâyaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, runae hnin, kathetkung ni miphunnaw a tuknae tueng totouh ka o han rah.
I heard, and my belly trembled, my lips quivered at the voice; rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place: that I should rest in the day of trouble, when it cometh up against the people which invadeth him in troops.
17 Thaibunglung kung ni pei hoeh, Misurkung paw hoeh, olivekung hai ngaihawi hane awm hoeh. law dawk hai apawhik paw hoeh, tu takha dawk tu kathup niteh, maito im dawk maito kaawm hoeh nakunghai.
For though the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Cathut dawk ka lung ahawi teh na ka rungngangnae Cathut kâuep lahoi ka lung ahawi han.
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 Bawipa Jehovah teh kaie ka thaonae doeh, ka khok teh sayuk khok patetlah a coung sak teh, ka rasang e hmuen na poe han.
Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength, and he maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], and will make me to walk upon mine high places. For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.
