Ambacum 3
1 A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG.
Inilah doa Nabi Habakuk:
2 O Lord, I have heard your report, and was afraid: I considered your works, and was amazed: you shall be known between the two living creatures, you shall be acknowledged when the years draw near; you shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, you will in wrath remember mercy.
Ya TUHAN, kudengar tentang perbuatan-Mu, maka rasa khidmat memenuhi hatiku. Kiranya perbuatan besar itu Kauulangi dan Kaunyatakan di zaman kami ini. Hendaknya kami Kaukasihani walaupun Engkau panas hati.
3 God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. (Pause)
Engkau Allah Yang Mahasuci datang dari Teman, Engkau datang dari pegunungan Paran. Langit diliputi keagungan-Mu; bumi penuh dengan pujian bagi-Mu.
4 His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength.
Kaudatang dengan cahaya cemerlang, dari tangan-Mu keluar sinar gemilang, di situlah kuasa-Mu Kausembunyikan.
5 Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains,
Kausuruh penyakit berjalan di depan-Mu dan maut ikut di belakang-Mu.
6 the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he saw, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.
Jika Engkau berhenti, bumi bergetar; jika Engkau memandang, bangsa-bangsa gempar. Gunung-gunung yang abadi terbelah-belah; bukit-bukit yang kekal pun merendah, di bukit-bukit itulah Engkau berjalan sejak zaman purba.
7 Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed.
Kulihat rakyat Kusyan ditimpa ketakutan, dan orang Midian gemetaran.
8 Was you angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] your wrath against the rivers, or your anger against the sea? for you will mount on your horses, and your chariots are salvation.
Ya TUHAN, karena lautkah Engkau naik darah? Sungai-sungaikah yang membuat Engkau marah? Kautunggangi awan sebagai kuda dan kereta perang, ketika umat-Mu Kauberi kemenangan.
9 Surely you did bend they bow at sceptres, says the Lord. (Pause) The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.
Busur-Mu sudah Kausediakan, panah-Mu siap untuk dilepaskan. Lalu bumi Kaubelah menjadi sungai-sungai.
10 The nations shall see you and be in pain, [as you do] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.
Melihat Engkau, gunung-gunung berguncang dari langit turun hujan seperti tertuang. Air di bawah tanah gemuruh suaranya, ombaknya gulung-gemulung dan bergelora.
11 The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: your darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of your arms.
Cahaya panah-panah-Mu melaju cepat, tombak-Mu kemilau berkilat-kilat, maka berhentilah matahari dan bulan di tempat.
12 You will bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath you will break down the nations.
Dengan geram Engkau menjelajahi bumi; bangsa-bangsa Kauinjak-injak dengan panas hati.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, to save your anointed: you shall bring death on the heads of transgressors; you has brought bands upon [their] neck. (Pause)
Engkau melangkah maju untuk membebaskan umat-Mu dan untuk menyelamatkan raja pilihan-Mu. Kaupukul jatuh pemimpin orang durjana, Kausapu habis semua pengikutnya.
14 You did cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret.
Panah-panah-Mu menembus pemimpin pasukan lawan waktu tentaranya datang sekuat topan, agar kami diceraiberaikan. Mereka tertawa dengan senang seperti orang yang dengan diam-diam menindas orang yang berkekurangan.
15 And you do cause your horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.
Dengan kuda-Mu Kauinjak-injak samudera dan lautan yang putih berbusa.
16 I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.
Mendengar itu, hatiku gentar dan bibirku bergetar. Aku menjadi lemah tanpa kekuatan, kakiku tersandung, di mana pun aku berjalan. Aku akan menunggu dengan tenang hukuman Allah atas para penyerang.
17 For [though] the fig tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;
Meskipun pohon ara tak ada buahnya dan pohon anggur tak ada anggurnya, biarpun panen zaitun menemui kegagalan dan hasil gandum di ladang mengecewakan, walaupun domba-domba mati semua dan kandang ternak tiada isinya,
18 yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.
aku akan gembira selalu, sebab Engkau TUHAN Allah penyelamatku.
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song.
Engkau memberi aku kekuatan seperti kaki rusa, kakiku Kaukokohkan. Engkau membimbing aku supaya aman waktu berjalan di pegunungan.
