Habakkuk 1
1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
Breme koje vidje prorok Avakum.
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!
Dokle æu, Gospode, vapiti a ti neæeš da èuješ? dokle æu ti vikati: nasilje! a ti neæeš da izbaviš?
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.
Zašto puštaš da vidim bezakonje, i da gledam muku i grabež i nasilje pred sobom, i kako podižu svaðu i raspru?
4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
Zato se ostavlja zakon, i sud ne izlazi nigda, jer bezbožnik optjeèe pravednika, zato sud izlazi izopaèen.
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.
Pogledajte po narodima i vidite, i èudite se i divite se, jer æu uèiniti djelo u vaše dane kojega neæete vjerovati kad se stane pripovijedati.
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.
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti Haldejce, narod ljut i nagao, koji æe iæi po zemlji širom da osvoji naselja koja nijesu njegova.
7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
Žestok je i strašan, sud njegov i vlast njegova od njega izlazi.
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.
Konji æe mu biti brži od risova i ljuæi od vukova uveèe, veliko æe mnoštvo biti konjika njegovijeh, i iduæi izdaleka konjici njegovi doletjeæe kao orao kad hiti na lov.
9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
Svi æe doæi na grabež, s lica æe biti kao istoèni vjetar, pokupiæe roblje kao pijesak.
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.
I carevima æe se rugati i knezovi æe im biti potsmijeh, smijaæe se svakom gradu, nasuæe zemlje, i uzeæe ga.
11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god.
Tada æe mu se promijeniti duh, proæi æe i skriviæe; ta æe mu (sila) njegova biti od boga njegova.
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.
Nijesi li ti od vijeka, Gospode Bože moj, sveèe moj? neæemo umrijeti; ti si ga, Gospode, odredio za sud; i utvrdio si ga, stijeno, za karanje.
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?
Èiste su oèi tvoje da ne možeš gledati zla, i bezakonja ne možeš gledati; zašto gledaš bezakonike? muèiš, kad bezbožnik proždire pravijega od sebe?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
I hoæeš li ostaviti ljude kao ribe morske, kao bubine, koje nemaju gospodara?
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.
Izvlaèi ih sve udicom, hvata ih u mrežu svoju, i zgræe ih preðom svojom, zato se veseli i raduje.
16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
Zato prinosi žrtvu svojoj mreži, i kadi svojoj preði; jer je tijem dio njegov pretio i hrana mu izabrana.
17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Hoæe li zato izvlaèiti mrežu svoju i jednako ubijati narode nemilice?
