哈巴谷書 3
1 哈巴谷的禱詞。調寄「流離之歌。」
A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.
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。
Lord, I heard what has been said about you, and I was afraid. Lord, your work, in the midst of years, revive it. In the midst of years, you will make it known. When you have become angry, you will 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 will come from the south, and the Holy One from mount Pharan. His glory has covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
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 brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.
5 瘟疾在衪面前開路，熱症隨衪的足後。
Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.
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。
He stood, and measured the earth. He looked, and dissolved the Gentiles. And the mountains of ages past have been shattered. The hills of the world became curved by the journeys of his eternity.
7 我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌，米德揚的帳幕震勫。
I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.
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﹖
Could you have been angry with the rivers, Lord? Or was your fury within the rivers, or your indignation in the sea? He will ascend upon your horses, and your four-horse 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，
Being stirred up, you will take up your bow, the oaths you have spoken to the tribes. You will split apart the Rivers of the earth.
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，
They saw you, and the mountains grieved. The great body of waters crossed over. The abyss uttered its voice. The pinnacle lifted up its hands.
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 and the moon have stood firm in their dwelling place; with the light of your arrows, they shall go forth in the splendor of your flashing spear.
12 你懷怒踏遍大地，含恨蹂躝了萬邦。
With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.
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)
You have gone forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with your Christ. You struck the head of the house of the impious. You have laid bare his foundation all the way to the neck.
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。
You have cursed his scepters, the head of his warriors, those who approached like a whirlwind so as to scatter me. Their exultation was like one who devours the poor in secret.
15 你卻將他的戰馬投入深海，投入多水的沼澤中。
You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.
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 heard, and my stomach became troubled. My lips trembled at the voice. Let decay enter into my bones and gush forth from within me. Then I may rest in the day of tribulation, so that I may ascend to our people well-prepared.
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 the fig tree will not flower, and there will be no bud on the vines. The labor of the olive tree will be misleading, and the farmland will produce no food. The sheep will be cut off from the sheepfold, and there will be no herd at the manger.
18 我仍然喜樂於上主，歡欣於我的救主天主。
But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.
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 set my feet like those of the stag. And he, the victor, will lead me beyond my high places while singing psalms.
