Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, put to Shigionoth.
シギヨノテの調べによる、預言者ハバククの祈。
2 O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
主よ、わたしはあなたのことを聞きました。主よ、わたしはあなたのみわざを見て恐れます。この年のうちにこれを新たにし、この年のうちにこれを知らせてください。怒る時にもあわれみを思いおこしてください。
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) The heavens were covered with his glory, and the earth was full of his praise.
神はテマンからこられ、聖者はパランの山からこられた。その栄光は天をおおい、そのさんびは地に満ちた。 (セラ)
4 He was shining like the light; he had rays coming out from his hand: there his power was kept secret.
その輝きは光のようであり、その光は彼の手からほとばしる。かしこにその力を隠す。
5 Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.
疫病はその前に行き、熱病はその後に従う。
6 From his high place he sent shaking on the earth; he saw and nations were suddenly moved: and the eternal mountains were broken, the unchanging hills were bent down; his ways are eternal.
彼は立って、地をはかり、彼は見て、諸国民をおののかせられる。とこしえの山は散らされ、永遠の丘は沈む。彼の道は昔のとおりである。
7 The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.
わたしが見ると、クシャンの天幕に悩みがあり、ミデアンの国の幕は震う。
8 Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?
主よ、あなたが馬に乗り、勝利の戦車に乗られる時、あなたは川に向かって怒られるのか。川に向かって憤られるのか。あるいは海に向かって立腹されるのか。
9 Your bow was quite uncovered. (Selah) By you the earth was cut through with rivers.
あなたの弓は取り出された。矢は、弦につがえられた。[セラ あなたは川をもって地を裂かれた。
10 The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place.
山々はあなたを見て震い、荒れ狂う水は流れいで、淵は声を出して、その手を高くあげた。
11 At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.
飛び行くあなたの矢の光のために、電光のようにきらめく、あなたのやりのために、日も月もそのすみかに立ち止まった。
12 You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.
あなたは憤って地を行きめぐり、怒って諸国民を踏みつけられた。
13 You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. (Selah)
あなたはあなたの民を救うため、あなたの油そそいだ者を救うために出て行かれた。あなたは悪しき者の頭を砕き、彼を腰から首まで裸にされた。 (セラ)
14 You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.
あなたはあなたのやりで将軍の首を刺しとおされた。彼らはわたしを散らそうとして、つむじ風のように来、貧しい者をひそかに、のみ滅ぼすことを楽しみとした。
15 The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.
あなたはあなたの馬を使って、海と大水のさかまくところを踏みつけられた。
16 Hearing it, my inner parts were moved, and my lips were shaking at the sound; my bones became feeble, and my steps were uncertain under me: I gave sounds of grief in the day of trouble, when his forces came up against the people in bands.
わたしは聞いて、わたしのからだはわななき、わたしのくちびるはその声を聞いて震える。腐れはわたしの骨に入り、わたしの歩みは、わたしの下によろめく。わたしはわれわれに攻め寄せる民の上に悩みの日の臨むのを静かに待とう。
17 For though the fig-tree has no flowers, and there is no fruit on the vine, and work on the olive comes to nothing, and the fields give no food; and the flock is cut off from its resting-place, and there is no herd in the cattle-house:
いちじくの木は花咲かず、ぶどうの木は実らず、オリブの木の産はむなしくなり、田畑は食物を生ぜず、おりには羊が絶え、牛舎には牛がいなくなる。
18 Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
しかし、わたしは主によって楽しみ、わが救の神によって喜ぶ。
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he makes my feet like roes' feet, guiding me on my high places. For the chief music-maker on corded instruments.
主なる神はわたしの力であって、わたしの足を雌じかの足のようにし、わたしに高い所を歩ませられる。これを琴に合わせ、聖歌隊の指揮者によって歌わせる。
