Habakkuk 1
1 This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision:
Breme koje vidje prorok Avakum.
2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?
Dokle æu, Gospode, vapiti a ti neæeš da èuješ? dokle æu ti vikati: nasilje! a ti neæeš da izbaviš?
3 Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds.
Zašto puštaš da vidim bezakonje, i da gledam muku i grabež i nasilje pred sobom, i kako podižu svaðu i raspru?
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
Zato se ostavlja zakon, i sud ne izlazi nigda, jer bezbožnik optjeèe pravednika, zato sud izlazi izopaèen.
5 “Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.
Pogledajte po narodima i vidite, i èudite se i divite se, jer æu uèiniti djelo u vaše dane kojega neæete vjerovati kad se stane pripovijedati.
6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans — that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti Haldejce, narod ljut i nagao, koji æe iæi po zemlji širom da osvoji naselja koja nijesu njegova.
7 They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.
Žestok je i strašan, sud njegov i vlast njegova od njega izlazi.
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.
Konji æe mu biti brži od risova i ljuæi od vukova uveèe, veliko æe mnoštvo biti konjika njegovijeh, i iduæi izdaleka konjici njegovi doletjeæe kao orao kad hiti na lov.
9 All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
Svi æe doæi na grabež, s lica æe biti kao istoèni vjetar, pokupiæe roblje kao pijesak.
10 They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.
I carevima æe se rugati i knezovi æe im biti potsmijeh, smijaæe se svakom gradu, nasuæe zemlje, i uzeæe ga.
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”
Tada æe mu se promijeniti duh, proæi æe i skriviæe; ta æe mu (sila) njegova biti od boga njegova.
12 Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction.
Nijesi li ti od vijeka, Gospode Bože moj, sveèe moj? neæemo umrijeti; ti si ga, Gospode, odredio za sud; i utvrdio si ga, stijeno, za karanje.
13 Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate the faithless? Why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
Èiste su oèi tvoje da ne možeš gledati zla, i bezakonja ne možeš gledati; zašto gledaš bezakonike? muèiš, kad bezbožnik proždire pravijega od sebe?
14 You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.
I hoæeš li ostaviti ljude kao ribe morske, kao bubine, koje nemaju gospodara?
15 The foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices gladly.
Izvlaèi ih sve udicom, hvata ih u mrežu svoju, i zgræe ih preðom svojom, zato se veseli i raduje.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is sumptuous and his food is rich.
Zato prinosi žrtvu svojoj mreži, i kadi svojoj preði; jer je tijem dio njegov pretio i hrana mu izabrana.
17 Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?
Hoæe li zato izvlaèiti mrežu svoju i jednako ubijati narode nemilice?
