哈巴谷書 3
1 哈巴谷的禱詞。調寄「流離之歌。」
This is a prayer sung by the prophet Habakkuk. On Shigonoth.
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。
I have heard what is said about you, Lord. I stand in awe of your work. Lord, revive it in our times; make it known in our times. In your anger, please remember your 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 came from Teman; the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens; the earth was 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 is like lightning; rays flash from his hand from where his power is hidden.
5 瘟疾在衪面前開路，熱症隨衪的足後。
Plague goes before him, disease follows at 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。
Where he stands, the earth shakes. When he looks the nations tremble. The ancient mountains shatter, the age-old hills collapse, but his ways are eternal.
7 我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌，米德揚的帳幕震勫。
I saw the tents of Cushan suffering, the tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.
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﹖
Did you burn with rage against the rivers, Lord? Were you angry with the rivers? Were you furious with the sea when you rode your horses and chariots of salvation?
9 你抽出了你的弓弩，囊中裝滿了箭羽(休止)；你劈地成河，
You took out your bow; you filled your quiver with arrows. (Selah) You split the earth open with rivers.
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，
Mountains saw you and shook. Water poured down and swept by. The deep called out, lifting high its waves.
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 moon stood still in the sky as your sparkling arrows flew and your spears flashed bright.
12 你懷怒踏遍大地，含恨蹂躝了萬邦。
Indignant, you marched across the earth, trampling the nations in your anger.
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 came out to save your people, to save your chosen people. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked, stripping him from thick to 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。
With his own arrows you pierced the heads of his warriors, those who came like a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating like those who secretly abuse the poor.
15 你卻將他的戰馬投入深海，投入多水的沼澤中。
You trod upon the sea with your horses, churning up the mighty 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 shook inside when I heard this; my lips quivered at the sound; my bones turned to jelly; I trembled where I stood. I wait quietly for the day of trouble that will come upon those who attacked us.
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，
Even though there are no blossoms on the fig trees and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no harvest; even though there are no animals in the pen and no cattle in the stalls;
18 我仍然喜樂於上主，歡欣於我的救主天主。
still I will be happy in the Lord, joyful in the God of my salvation.
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. He makes me able to walk in the highest mountains, as sure-footed as a deer. (To the music director: with my stringed instruments.)
