< 哈巴谷書 3 >

1 先知哈巴谷的禱告,調用流離歌。
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.
2 耶和華啊,我聽見你的名聲就懼怕。 耶和華啊,求你在這些年間復興你的作為, 在這些年間顯明出來; 在發怒的時候以憐憫為念。
O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid: O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.
3 上帝從提幔而來; 聖者從巴蘭山臨到。 (細拉) 他的榮光遮蔽諸天; 頌讚充滿大地。
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 他的輝煌如同日光; 從他手裏射出光線, 在其中藏着他的能力。
And [his] brightness was as the light; He had rays [coming forth] from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
5 在他前面有瘟疫流行; 在他腳下有熱症發出。
Before him went the pestilence, And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.
6 他站立,量了大地, 觀看,趕散萬民。 永久的山崩裂; 長存的嶺塌陷; 他的作為與古時一樣。
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 我見古珊的帳棚遭難, 米甸的幔子戰兢。
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 耶和華啊,你乘在馬上, 坐在得勝的車上, 豈是不喜悅江河、 向江河發怒氣、 向洋海發憤恨嗎?
Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, Or thy wrath against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Upon thy chariots of salvation?
9 你的弓全然顯露, 向眾支派所起的誓都是可信的。 (細拉) 你以江河分開大地。
Thy bow was made quite bare; The oaths to the tribes were a [sure] word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 山嶺見你,無不戰懼; 大水氾濫過去, 深淵發聲,洶湧翻騰。
The mountains saw thee, and were afraid; The tempest of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, And lifted up its hands on high.
11 因你的箭射出發光, 你的槍閃出光耀, 日月都在本宮停住。
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 你發忿恨通行大地, 發怒氣責打列國,如同打糧。
Thou didst march through the land in indignation; Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13 你出來要拯救你的百姓, 拯救你的受膏者, 打破惡人家長的頭, 露出他的腳,直到頸項。 (細拉)
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 man, Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. (Selah)
14 你用敵人的戈矛刺透他戰士的頭; 他們來如旋風,要將我們分散。 他們所喜愛的是暗中吞吃貧民。
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 你乘馬踐踏紅海, 就是踐踏洶湧的大水。
Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses, The heap of mighty waters.
16 我聽見耶和華的聲音, 身體戰兢,嘴唇發顫, 骨中朽爛; 我在所立之處戰兢。 我只可安靜等候災難之日臨到, 犯境之民上來。
I heard, and my body trembled, My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place; Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.
17 雖然無花果樹不發旺, 葡萄樹不結果, 橄欖樹也不效力, 田地不出糧食, 圈中絕了羊, 棚內也沒有牛;
For though the fig-tree shall not flourish, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 然而,我要因耶和華歡欣, 因救我的上帝喜樂。
Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 主耶和華是我的力量; 他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄, 又使我穩行在高處。 這歌交與伶長,用絲弦的樂器。
Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength; And he maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet], And will make me to walk upon my high places. For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.
