Habakuk 3

1 Lemo mane Habakuk janabi olamo e dwond Shigionot ema:

A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG.

2 Jehova Nyasaye, asewinjo humbi; achungʼ e nyimi ka an-gi luoro kuom gik misetimo, yaye Jehova Nyasaye. Mad itimgi kendo e kindewa, mi gingʼere e ndalowani; ka in gi mirima to mad ipar ngʼwono.

O Lord, I have heard your report, and was afraid: I considered your works, and was amazed: you shall be known between the two living creatures, you shall be acknowledged when the years draw near; you shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, you will in wrath remember mercy.

3 Nyasaye nobiro koa Teman, Nyasaye Maler moa e got mar Paran. (Sela) Duongʼne noumo polo, kendo pakne nopongʼo piny.

God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. (Pause)

4 Berne ne chalo kawuok chiengʼ; kendo ler ne mil ka wuok e lwete, kama tekone opandie.

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 Masira mar tuoche notelo e nyime; to midekre noluwe.

Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains,

6 Ne ochungʼ kendo noyiengo piny, ne ongʼicho mi ogendini otetni. Gode machon nomukore kendo gode matindo manyaka nene bende nopodho. Yorene osiko manyaka chiengʼ.

the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he saw, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.

7 Ne aneno hemb jo-Kushan ka nigi chandruok, kuonde dak mag jo-Midian nigi kihondko.

Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed.

8 Mirima nomaki gi aore, yaye Jehova Nyasaye? Koso mirima nomaki gi aore matindo? Koso ne ikecho gi nam kane iidho farese, ma en gachi mar loch?

Was you angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] your wrath against the rivers, or your anger against the sea? for you will mount on your horses, and your chariots are salvation.

9 Isechiko atungʼ mari, kendo iluongo mondo omedi aserni mangʼeny. (Sela) Ipogo piny gi aore,

Surely you did bend they bow at sceptres, says the Lord. (Pause) The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.

10 gode ne oneni ma otetni giluoro; oula nomwomo karidore. Kude matut bende mor matek; apaka ne tingʼore malo.

The nations shall see you and be in pain, [as you do] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.

11 Wangʼ chiengʼ gi dwe nochungʼ kargi e kor polo ka gineno asernigi mibayo; ka mil polo machalo tongʼ mobaa.

The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: your darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of your arms.

12 E mirimbi ne iwuotho e piny duto, to kuom mirimbi ne inyono ogendini.

You will bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath you will break down the nations.

13 Ne ibiro mondo ires jogi, mondo iwar ngʼatno mowal. Ne inyono jatend piny richo, ne ilonye duk koa e tiende piny nyaka e wiye. (Sela)

You went forth for the salvation of your people, to save your anointed: you shall bring death on the heads of transgressors; you has brought bands upon [their] neck. (Pause)

14 Gi tonge owuon isechwoyo wiye, kane jolwenje omonjowa mondo gikewa, ka gin gi ilo ka gima gichiegni tieko joma onge gi nyalo kama ne giponde.

You did 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 To ne inyono nam gi faresegi, ka iduwo pi.

And you do cause your horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.

16 Ne awinjo ma chunya noridore, dhoga nomoko kane awinjo kokono; chokena nonyosore kendo tiendena notetni. To kata kamano abiro rito ka ahora ni odiechieng masira mabiro mako oganda ma monjowa chopi.

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 Kata obedo ni yadh ngʼowu ok nyal thiewo bende kata obedo ni onge olemo ewi yadh zeituni, kata obedo ni yadh mzabibu ok nyag olemo bende kata obedo ni puothe ok nyag cham, kendo kata obedo ni rombe orumo e abila mi dhok bende orumo duto e dipo,

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 to kata kamano pod abiro bedo gi ilo kuom Jehova Nyasaye, kendo abiro bedo mamor kuom Nyasaye ma Jawarna.

yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.

19 Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto e tekona; en ema omiyo tienda bedo mayot ka tiend mwanda, en ema omiyo awuotho kuonde motingʼore malo. Ne jatend wer. E thuma mar kamba.

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.
