哈巴谷書 3
1 哈巴谷的禱詞。調寄「流離之歌。」
A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG.
2 上主，我聽到了你的報道；上主，我見到你的作為；求你在歲月的過程中，彰顯你的作為，求你在歲月的過程中，宣佈出來! 但願你發怒時，也懷念仁慈。
O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid: I considered thy works, and was amazed: thou shalt be known between the two living creatures, thou shalt be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; thou shalt be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, thou wilt in wrath remember mercy.
3 天主自特曼而來，聖者由帕蘭山而至(休止)；衪的威嚴遮蓋諸天，衪的榮耀充滿地。
God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. (Pause)
4 衪的光輝明輝如日；衪手中射出的光芒，蘊藏著衪的威能。
His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength.
5 瘟疾在衪面前開路，熱症隨衪的足後。
Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains,
6 衪一停立，大地就動搖；衪一注視，萬民就戰慄；太古的山嶽崩裂，久遠的丘陵沉沒；衪自永遠即在其上行走。
the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he beheld, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.
7 我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌，米德揚的帳幕震勫。
Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed.
8 上主! 當你騎著馬，乘著凱旋車時，是否是向河流發怒﹖或是向海洋洩憤﹖
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] thy wrath against the rivers, or thine anger against the sea? for thou wilt mount on thine horses, and thy chariots are salvation.
9 你抽出了你的弓弩，囊中裝滿了箭羽(休止)；你劈地成河，
Surely thou didst bend they bow at scepters, saith the Lord. (Pause) The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.
10 叢山見你而戰慄；驟雨由雲中降下，深潚發出巨響，太陽齔了昇起，
The nations shall see thee and be in pain, [as thou dost] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.
11 月亮停於居所：這是因了你放射箭羽的光芒，你槍矛閃爍的光亮。
The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: thy darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms.
12 你懷怒踏遍大地，含恨蹂躝了萬邦。
Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath thou wilt break down the nations.
13 你出征是為了你的百姓，是為了你的受傅者；你折毀了惡人的屋頂，使屋基露出，直到磐石(休止)
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, to save thine anointed: thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; thou has brought bands upon [their] neck. (Pause)
14 你用箭他戰士的頭，因為他們衝來要驅散我們，且高興的有如在暗中吞食貧民的人。
Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret.
15 你卻將他的戰馬投入深海，投入多水的沼澤中。
And thou dost cause thine horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.
16 我一聽見，我的我的臟腑發抖；對此消息，我的口脣打顫；痲痺侵入 下骨骸，我的步伐在我下面已零亂。我在靜待那因難的日子，因為那日子必要臨於進攻我們的民族身上。
I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.
17 縱然無花果樹不發芽，葡萄樹不結實，橄欖樹一無所產，麥田不出產食糧，羊棧內沒有羊，牛欄中沒有牛，
For [though] the fig-tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;
18 我仍然喜樂於上主，歡欣於我的救主天主。
yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.
19 我主上主是我的力量，衪使我的腳有如鹿腳，引我在高處步行。──交於樂官，和以絃樂。
The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song.
