Habakkuk 1
1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
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!
他说：耶和华啊！我呼求你， 你不应允，要到几时呢？ 我因强暴哀求你，你还不拯救。
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.
你为何使我看见罪孽？ 你为何看着奸恶而不理呢？ 毁灭和强暴在我面前， 又起了争端和相斗的事。
4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
因此律法放松， 公理也不显明； 恶人围困义人， 所以公理显然颠倒。
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.
耶和华说：你们要向列国中观看， 大大惊奇； 因为在你们的时候，我行一件事， 虽有人告诉你们，你们总是不信。
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.
我必兴起迦勒底人， 就是那残忍暴躁之民，通行遍地， 占据那不属自己的住处。
7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
他威武可畏， 判断和势力都任意发出。
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.
他的马比豹更快， 比晚上的豺狼更猛。 马兵踊跃争先， 都从远方而来； 他们飞跑如鹰抓食，
9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
都为行强暴而来， 定住脸面向前， 将掳掠的人聚集，多如尘沙。
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.
他们讥诮君王，笑话首领， 嗤笑一切保障，筑垒攻取。
11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god.
他以自己的势力为神， 像风猛然扫过，显为有罪。
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.
耶和华—我的 神，我的圣者啊， 你不是从亘古而有吗？ 我们必不致死。 耶和华啊，你派定他为要刑罚人； 磐石啊，你设立他为要惩治人。
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?
你眼目清洁， 不看邪僻，不看奸恶； 行诡诈的，你为何看着不理呢？ 恶人吞灭比自己公义的， 你为何静默不语呢？
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
你为何使人如海中的鱼， 又如没有管辖的爬物呢？
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.
他用钩钩住，用网捕获， 用拉网聚集他们； 因此，他欢喜快乐，
16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
就向网献祭，向网烧香， 因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。
17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
他岂可屡次倒空网罗， 将列国的人时常杀戮，毫不顾惜呢？
