< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, put to Shigionoth.
Oración del profeta Habacuc. En el tono de lamentaciones.
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.
¡Oh Yavé, oí tu palabra y estoy atemorizado! Oh Yavé, aviva tu obra en medio de los tiempos. En medio de los tiempos hazla conocer. En la ira, acuérdate de tener 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.
ʼEloha, el Santo, viene de Temán, De las montañas de Parán. (Selah) Su esplendor cubre los cielos Y la tierra se llena 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 resplandor es como la luz del sol. Rayos de luz proceden de sus manos. Allí se oculta su poder.
5 Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.
La mortandad va delante de Él Y de sus pies salen carbones encendidos.
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.
Se detiene y tiembla la tierra. Mira, y estremece a las naciones. Se desmoronan las montañas, Se hunden las colinas antiguas, Pero sus sendas son eternas.
7 The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.
Veo las tiendas de Cusán en aflicción. Se estremecen las tiendas de la tierra de Madián.
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?
Oh Yavé, ¿te airaste contra los ríos? ¿Es tu ira contra el mar Cuando montas en tus caballos Y en tus carrozas victoriosas?
9 Your bow was quite uncovered. (Selah) By you the earth was cut through with rivers.
Descubres completamente tu arco. Las varas de castigo fueron prometidas con juramento. (Selah) Tú surcas la tierra con 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.
Te ven las montañas, Y tiemblan. La inundación de aguas se desencadena. El abismo da su voz. A lo alto levanta sus manos.
11 At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.
El sol y la luna se detienen en su cenit. Anduvieron a la luz de tus flechas, Y al resplandor de tu refulgente lanza.
12 You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.
Con ira trillaste la tierra. Con furor pisoteaste las naciones.
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 socorrer a tu pueblo, A salvar a tu ungido. Destrozas el techo de la casa del impío Y descubres su cimiento hasta la roca. (Selah)
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 tus propias flechas Traspasas a los jefes de sus nobles, Que como tempestad acometen para dispersarme. Su regocijo es como el del que devora en secreto al pobre.
15 The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.
Pisoteaste con tus caballos el mar, Sobre la mole de muchas 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.
Escuché y se conmovieron mis órganos internos. A su voz temblaron mis labios. Pudrición entró en mis huesos Y dentro de mí me estremezco. Pero debo estar tranquilo el día de la adversidad, Cuando suba el pueblo que nos invadirá con sus tropas.
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 la higuera no florezca, Ni en las vides haya fruto, Aunque falte el producto del olivo, Y los campos no produzcan alimento, Aunque se acaben las ovejas del redil Y no haya vacas en los establos,
18 Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
Sin embargo, yo me alegraré en Yavé Y me gozaré en el ʼElohim 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.
¡Adonay Yavé es mi fortaleza! Él me da pies como de venados Y me hace andar en las alturas.
