Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, put to Shigionoth.
Esta es una oración cantada por el profeta Habacuc. Con Sigonot.
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.
He oído lo que se dice de ti, Señor. Me impresiona tu obra. Señor, revívela en nuestros tiempos; haz que en nuestro tiempo sea conocida tu obra. En tu ira, por favor, acuérdate de tu misericordia.
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.
Dios vino desde Temán. El Santo del Monte de Parán. (Selah) Su Gloria cubrió los cielos. La tierra se llenó de su alabanza.
4 He was shining like the light; he had rays coming out from his hand: there his power was kept secret.
Su brillo es como un relámpago. De su mano salen rayos, y en ellas guarda su poder.
5 Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.
Delante de él viene la plaga, y la enfermedad sigue a sus pies.
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.
La tierra tiembla dondequiera que él se queda en pie. Cuando mira, las naciones tiemblan. Las antiguas montañas y colinas se sacuden y colapsan, pero sus caminos son eternos.
7 The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.
Vi el sufriemiento de las tiendas de Cusán, y las cortinas de las tiendas en la tierra de Madián tiemblan,
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?
¿Quemaste los ríos con tu ira, Señor? ¿Estabas enojado con los ríos? ¿Estabas furioso con el mar cuando montaste tus caballos y carruajes de salvación?
9 Your bow was quite uncovered. (Selah) By you the earth was cut through with rivers.
Desenfundaste tu arco y llenaste con flechas tu aljaba. (Selah) Tú dividiste la tierra con los ríos.
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.
Las montañas te vieron y se estremecieron. Salió el agua y se derramó por todo el lugar. Las profundidades salieron a la luz, formando enormes y altas olas.
11 At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.
El sol y la luna se detuvieron en el cielo mientras tus flechas volaban y tus lanzas emanaban luz.
12 You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.
Enfurecido, marchaste por la tierra, pisoteando a las naciones con tu enojo.
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)
Saliste a salvar a tu pueblo, a salvar a tu pueblo escogido. Destruiste la cabeza de los malvados, despojándolos hasta los huesos.
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.
Con sus propias flechas atravesaste las cabezas de sus guerreros, los que vinieron en medio de un torbellino para dispersarme, y que se regocijaban como los que abusan de los pobres en secreto.
15 The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.
Pisoteaste el mar con tus caballos, agitando las poderosas aguas.
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.
Me sacudí por dentro cuando oí esto. Mis labios temblaron ante el sonido. Mis huesos se volvieron gelatina y temblé allí donde estaba en pie. Espero en silencio el día en que vendrá la tribulación sobre aquellos que nos atacaron.
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:
Aunque no haya flores en las higueras ni uvas en los viñedos; aunque no crezca la cosecha de olivo, ni haya animales en el corral, o ganado en los establos;
18 Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
aún así me alegraré en el Señor, gozoso en el Dios de mi salvación.
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.
El Señor Dios es mi fuerza. Él me hace caminar sobre montes altos, con la seguridad de un ciervo. (Al director musical: con instrumentos de cuerda).
