Habakkuk 3
1 This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:
Pemphero la mneneri Habakuku potsata mayimbidwe a Sigionoti.
2 O LORD, I have heard the report of You; I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds. Revive them in these years; make them known in these years. In Your wrath, remember mercy!
Inu Yehova, ndamva za kutchuka kwanu; Inu Yehova, ntchito zanu zandiopsa. Muzichitenso masiku athu ano, masiku athu ano zidziwike; mu ukali wanu mukumbukire kuchita chifundo.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.
Mulungu anabwera kuchokera ku Temani, Woyerayo kuchokera ku Phiri la Parani. (Sela) Ulemerero wake unaphimba mlengalenga ndipo dziko lapansi linadzaza ndi matamando ake.
4 His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.
Kuwala kwa ulemerero wake kunali ngati kutuluka kwa dzuwa; kunyezimira kunkatuluka mʼdzanja lake, mʼmene anabisamo mphamvu zake.
5 Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.
Patsogolo pake pankagwa mliri; nthenda yoopsa inkagwa kumbuyo kwake.
6 He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.
Iye anayimirira ndi kugwedeza dziko lapansi; anayangʼana ndipo mitundu ya anthu inanjenjemera. Mapiri okhazikika anagumuka ndipo zitunda zakalekale zinatitimira. Njira zake ndi zachikhalire.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.
Ndinaona matenti a ku Kusani ali pa mavuto, mokhala a ku Midiyani muli ululu waukulu.
8 Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?
Inu Yehova, kodi munakwiyira mitsinje? Kodi munakalipira timitsinje? Kodi munapsera mtima nyanja pamene munakwera pa akavalo anu ndiponso magaleta anu achipulumutso?
9 You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
Munasolola uta wanu mʼchimake, munayitanitsa mivi yambiri. (Sela) Munagawa dziko lapansi ndi mitsinje;
10 The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.
mapiri anakuonani ndipo anagwedezeka. Madzi amphamvu anasefukira; nyanja yozama inakokoma ndipo mafunde ake anakwera kwambiri.
11 Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.
Dzuwa ndi mwezi zinayima chilili mlengalenga, pa kungʼanima kwa mivi yanu yowulukayo, pa kunyezimira kwa mkondo wanu.
12 You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.
Munayendayenda mʼdziko lapansi muli ndi ukali, ndipo munapondereza mitundu ya anthu muli ndi mkwiyo.
13 You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe.
Munapita kukalanditsa anthu anu, kukapulumutsa wodzozedwa wanu. Munakantha mtsogoleri wa dziko la anthu oyipa, munawononga anthu ake onse. (Sela)
14 With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.
Ndi mkondo wake womwe munalasa mtsogoleri wake pamene ankhondo ake anabwera mwamphamvu kudzatibalalitsa, ankasangalala ngati kuti akudzawononga osauka amene akubisala.
15 You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.
Munapondaponda pa nyanja ndi akavalo anu, kuvundula madzi amphamvu.
16 I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.
Ndinamva ndipo mtima wanga unagunda kwambiri, milomo yanga inanjenjemera pakumva phokosolo; mafupa anga anaguluka, ndipo mawondo anga anawombana. Komabe ndikuyembekezera mofatsa, tsiku la masautso limene lidzafike pa mtundu wa anthu umene ukutithira nkhondo.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,
Ngakhale mtengo wa mkuyu usachite maluwa, ndipo mipesa ikhale yopanda mphesa. Ngakhale mitengo ya olivi isabereke zipatso, ndipo mʼminda musatuluke kanthu. Ngakhale nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zithe mʼkhola,
18 yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!
komabe ine ndidzakondwera mwa Yehova, ndidzasangalala mwa Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga.
19 GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights!
Ambuye Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga; amalimbitsa miyendo yanga ngati ya mbawala yayikazi, amandithandiza kukafika pamwamba pa phiri. Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Pa zoyimbira za nsambo.
