Habakkuk 1
1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
Raajii Anbaaqoom raajichi arge.
2 O Lord, howe long shall I crye, and thou wilt not heare! euen crye out vnto thee for violence, and thou wilt not helpe!
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hamma yoomiittin gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadha? Ati garuu na hin dhaggeeffattu; yookaan ani hamma yoomiitti, “Goolii!” jedhee sitti booʼee ati garuu na hin oolchitu?
3 Why doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention.
Ati maaliif akka ani murtii dabe argu na goota? Ati maaliif balleessaa namaa obsita? Badiisnii fi gooliin fuula koo dura jiru; lollii fi waldhabiinsi baayʼateera.
4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
Kanaafuu seerri laamshaʼeera; murtiin qajeelaan dabsameera. Akka murtiin qajeelaan jalʼifamuuf; namoonni hamoon qajeelota marsu.
5 Beholde among the heathen, and regarde, and wonder, and maruaile: for I will worke a worke in your dayes: yee will not beleeue it, though it be tolde you.
“Saboota hubadhaa ilaalaa; akka malees dinqisiifadhaa. Ani bara keessan keessa waan isin yoo isinitti himame illee hin amanne tokko nan hojjedha.
6 For lo, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall goe vpon the breadth of the lande to possesse the dwelling places, that are not theirs.
Ani warra Baabilon, uummata gara jabeessaa fi ariifataa, kan iddoo jireenya isaa hin taʼin qabachuuf guutummaa lafaa keessa yaaʼu sana nan kaasa.
7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
Isaan saba sodaatamuu fi naasisuu dha; isaan ofii isaaniitiifuu seera; ulfina isaaniis ni guddifatu.
8 Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the wolues in the euening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from farre: they shall flie as the eagle hasting to meate.
Fardeen isaanii qeerransa caalaa saffisu; yeeyyii galgalaa caalaa sodaachisu. Namoonni isaanii kanneen farda yaabbatan ariitiidhaan gulufu; abbootiin farda isaaniis fagoodhaa dhufu. Isaan akkuma risaa waa nyaachuuf ariifatuu barrisu;
9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
isaan hundinuu jeequmsaaf dhufu. Tuunni isaanii akkuma bubbee gammoojjii gara fuula duraatti qajeela; namoota hidhamanis akkuma cirrachaa walitti qaba.
10 And they shall mocke the Kings, and the princes shalbe a skorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde: for they shall gather dust, and take it.
Isaan mootota tuffatanii bulchitootatti qoosu. Daʼannoo hundatti ni kolfu; biyyoos tuulanii isa qabatu.
11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god.
Ergasii namoonni yakka hojjetan kanneen humna isaanii waaqa isaanii godhatan, akka bubbee lafa haxaaʼanii karaa isaanii itti fufu.”
12 Art thou not of olde, O Lord my God, mine holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordeined them for iudgement, and O God, thou hast established them for correction.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraa jalqabdee jirta mitii? Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Qulqullicha ko, ati gonkumaa hin duutu. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka isaan murtii kennaniif isaan muuddeerta; yaa Kattaa ko, ati akka isaan nama adabaniif isaan ramaddeerta.
13 Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see euill: thou canst not behold wickednesse: wherefore doest thou looke vpon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man, that is more righteous then he?
Iji kee akka waan hamaa hin ilaalleef akka malee qulqulluu dha; ati daba argitee obsaan dhiisuu hin dandeessu. Yoos ati maaliif obsaan namoota hamoo ilaalta? Ati maaliif yeroo namoonni hamoon warra isaan caalaa qajeeloo taʼan liqimsanitti calʼistaa?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
Ati namoota akka qurxummii galaana keessaa, akka uumamawwan galaanaa kanneen bulchaa hin qabnee gooteerta.
15 They take vp all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarne, whereof they reioyce and are glad.
Diinni hokkoodhaan isaan hunda ol baasa; kiyyoo isaatiinis isaan harkisa; kiyyoo isaa keessatti walitti isaan qabata; kanaafuu inni ni gammada; ni ililchas.
16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
Inni sababii kiyyoo isaatiin bashannanee nyaata isaa filatamaatti gammaduuf kiyyoo isaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessa; kiyyoo isaatiif illee ixaana aarsa.
17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Inni kiyyoo isaa keessaa garagalchuudhaan, gara laafina malee ittuma fufee saboota balleessuu qabaa?
