哈巴谷書 3
1 哈巴谷的禱詞。調寄「流離之歌。」
Yahweh, I have heard about you; I revere you because of [all the amazing] things that you have done. In our time, do again [some of] those things that you did long ago! Even when you are angry [with us], be merciful [to us]!
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。
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。
[In the vision, I saw] God, the Holy One, coming from the Teman [district in Edom]; [and I also saw] him coming from the Paran Hills [in the Sinai area]. His glory filled the sky, and the earth was full of [people who were] praising him.
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 glory was like [SIM] a sunrise; rays flashed from his hands where he hides his power.
5 瘟疾在衪面前開路，熱症隨衪的足後。
He sent plagues in front of him, and [other] plagues came behind him.
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。
When he stopped, the earth shook. When he looked at the nations, [all the people] trembled. The hills and mountains that have existed for a very long time [HYP] collapsed and crumbled. Yahweh is the one who exists eternally/forever!
7 我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌，米德揚的帳幕震勫。
[In the vision] I saw the [people who live in] tents in the Cushan [region] being afflicted, and the people in the Midian [region] trembling.
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﹖
Yahweh, was it because you were angry with the rivers and streams that you were angry with them? Did the seas cause you to be furious, with the result that you rode through them with horses that were pulling chariots that enabled you to defeat them?
9 你抽出了你的弓弩，囊中裝滿了箭羽(休止)；你劈地成河，
[It was as though] you uncovered your bow, took arrows from your quiver, [and prepared to shoot them]. [Then with lightning] you split open the earth, and streams burst forth.
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，
[It is as though] the mountains saw you [doing that], and they trembled. Floods rushed by; [it was as though] the deep ocean roared and caused its waves to rise up 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 and moon stopped moving in the sky while your [lightning] flashed [past like] a swift arrow, and your glittering spear flashed.
12 你懷怒踏遍大地，含恨蹂躝了萬邦。
Being very angry [DOU], you walked across the earth and trampled the [armies of many] 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)
But you [also] went to rescue us, your people, and to save the [king] (Or, [people]) whom you had chosen [MTY]. You struck down the leader [MTY] of those wicked people and stripped off his clothes, from his head to his feet.
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 spear you destroyed the leader of those soldiers who rushed like [SIM] a whirlwind to [attack and] scatter us, thinking that they could conquer us [Israelis] easily.
15 你卻將他的戰馬投入深海，投入多水的沼澤中。
You walked through the sea with your horses [to destroy our enemies], and caused the waves to surge.
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。
When I saw that vision, my heart pounded and my lips quivered [because I became afraid]. My legs became weak and I shook, [because I was terrified]. But I will wait quietly for the people [of Babylonia], those who invaded our country, to experience disasters!
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，
[Therefore, ] even if there are no blossoms on the fig trees, and there are no grapes on the grapevines, and even if there are no olives growing on the olive trees, and there are no crops in the fields, and even if the flocks [of sheep and goats] die in the fields, and there are no cattle in the stalls/barns,
18 我仍然喜樂於上主，歡欣於我的救主天主。
I will rejoice because [I know] Yahweh. I will be joyful because Yahweh my God is the one who saves me!
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。
Yahweh the Lord is the one who causes me to be strong; he enables me to climb [(safely/without falling)] in the [rocky] mountains, like [SIM] a deer does. (This message is for the choir director: [When this prayer is sung, it is to be accompanied by people playing] stringed instruments.)
