Habakkuk 3
1 A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.
Oración del profeta Habacuc. En el tono de lamentaciones.
2 Lord, I heard what has been said about you, and I was afraid. Lord, your work, in the midst of years, revive it. In the midst of years, you will make it known. When you have become angry, you will remember mercy.
¡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 will come from the south, and the Holy One from mount Pharan. His glory has covered the heavens, and the earth is 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 His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.
Su resplandor es como la luz del sol. Rayos de luz proceden de sus manos. Allí se oculta su poder.
5 Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.
La mortandad va delante de Él Y de sus pies salen carbones encendidos.
6 He stood, and measured the earth. He looked, and dissolved the Gentiles. And the mountains of ages past have been shattered. The hills of the world became curved by the journeys of his eternity.
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 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.
Veo las tiendas de Cusán en aflicción. Se estremecen las tiendas de la tierra de Madián.
8 Could you have been angry with the rivers, Lord? Or was your fury within the rivers, or your indignation in the sea? He will ascend upon your horses, and your four-horse chariots are 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 Being stirred up, you will take up your bow, the oaths you have spoken to the tribes. You will split apart the Rivers of the earth.
Descubres completamente tu arco. Las varas de castigo fueron prometidas con juramento. (Selah) Tú surcas la tierra con ríos.
10 They saw you, and the mountains grieved. The great body of waters crossed over. The abyss uttered its voice. The pinnacle lifted up its hands.
Te ven las montañas, Y tiemblan. La inundación de aguas se desencadena. El abismo da su voz. A lo alto levanta sus manos.
11 The sun and the moon have stood firm in their dwelling place; with the light of your arrows, they shall go forth in the splendor of your flashing 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 With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.
Con ira trillaste la tierra. Con furor pisoteaste las naciones.
13 You have gone forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with your Christ. You struck the head of the house of the impious. You have laid bare his foundation all the way to the neck.
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 cursed his scepters, the head of his warriors, those who approached like a whirlwind so as to scatter me. Their exultation was like one who devours the poor in secret.
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 You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.
Pisoteaste con tus caballos el mar, Sobre la mole de muchas aguas.
16 I heard, and my stomach became troubled. My lips trembled at the voice. Let decay enter into my bones and gush forth from within me. Then I may rest in the day of tribulation, so that I may ascend to our people well-prepared.
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 the fig tree will not flower, and there will be no bud on the vines. The labor of the olive tree will be misleading, and the farmland will produce no food. The sheep will be cut off from the sheepfold, and there will be no herd at the manger.
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 But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.
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 will set my feet like those of the stag. And he, the victor, will lead me beyond my high places while singing psalms.
¡Adonay Yavé es mi fortaleza! Él me da pies como de venados Y me hace andar en las alturas.
