Habakkuk 1
1 THE BURDEN which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
Faminaniana ny loza hanjo, izay hitan’ i Habakoka mpaminany.
2 How long, O LORD, shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save.
Jehovah ô, indrisy ny hahelan’ ny efa nitarainako, Nefa tsy nohenoinao! Mitaraina aho hoe: Loza! Nefa tsy vonjenao ihany.
3 Why dost Thou show me iniquity, and beholdest mischief? And why are spoiling and violence before me? so that there is strife, and contention ariseth.
Nahoana no ataonao mahita faharatsiana aho. Ary mijery fahoriana Hianao? Fa fandravana sy loza no eo anatrehako, Ary misy ady, sady miseho ny fifandirana.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and right doth never go forth; for the wicked doth beset the righteous; therefore right goeth forth perverted.
Koa noho izany dia ngoly ny lalàna, Ary tsy mivoaka ny rariny; Fa irohonan’ ny ratsy fanahy ny marina, Ka izany no ivoahan’ ny fitsarana miangatra.
5 Look ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for, behold, a work shall be wrought in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
Jereo any amin’ ny jentilisa, ka diniho, ary gagà dia gagà; Fa manao zavatra amin’ ny andronareo Aho, Izay tsy hinoanareo, na dia holazaina aminareo aza.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
Fa, indro, atsangako ny Kaldeana, Dia ilay firenena masiaka sady mirehidrehitra, Izay mamaky eran’ ny tany Hahazoany fonenana izay tsy azy.
7 They are terrible and dreadful; their law and their majesty proceed from themselves.
Mahatsiravina sy mahatahotra izy; Avy amin’ ny tenany ihany ny fitsarany sy ny fahalehibiazany.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves of the desert; and their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from far, they fly as a vulture that hasteth to devour.
Faingana noho ny leoparda ny soavaliny Sady masiaka noho ny amboadia hariva; Ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny mampiriotra, eny, ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny dia avy lavitra; Miezaka toy ny voromahery maika hihinana izy.
9 They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand.
Hampidi-doza no ihavian’ izy rehetra; Ny handroso ihany no atrehiny fatratra, Ka manangona sambotra toy ny fasika izy.
10 And they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision unto them; they deride every stronghold, for they heap up earth, and take it.
Izy manakora ny mpanjaka, Ary ihomehezany ny mpanapaka; Ny tanàna mimanda rehetra dia ihomehezany, Ka dia manandratra tovon-tany izy ka mahafata azy.
11 Then their spirit doth pass over and transgress, and they become guilty: even they who impute their might unto their god.
Dia mihelina toy ny rivotra izy Ary mandroso ka mahazo heloka. Izany heriny izany no andriamaniny!
12 Art not Thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment, and Thou, O Rock, hast established them for correction.
Tsy hatrizay hatrizay va Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro, Iray Masiko? Tsy ho faty izahay; Ry Jehovah ô, ho famaizana no nanendrenao ireny, Ry Vatolampy ô, fananarana no nanangananao azy
13 Thou that art of eyes too pure to behold evil, and that canst not look on mischief, wherefore lookest Thou, when they deal treacherously, and holdest Thy peace, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
Hianao, Izay madio maso ka tsy te-hitsinjo ny ratsy Ary tsy mahajery fahoriana, Nahoana Hianao no mijery izay mamitaka Ary mangìna, raha ny ratsy fanahy mandrapaka ny marina noho izy,
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Ary manao ny olona ho toy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, Sy ho toy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka, izay tsy mana-mpanapaka?
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and exult.
Aingainy amin’ ny fintana izy rehetra, Samboriny amin’ ny haratony Ary sarihany amin’ ny harato tarihiny; Ka dia faly sy ravoravo izy.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and offer unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.
Koa izany no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny haratony sy andoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny harato tarihiny; Fa ireo no ahazoany hanina matsiro sy anjara matavy.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
Koa noho izany dia hanaisotra ny ao amin’ ny tandrohony va izy Ary hamono firenena mandrakariva ka tsy hiantra?
