Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
Maombi ya Habakuki nabii:
2 O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Yahwe, nimesikia taarifa zako, na mimi naogopa. Yahwe, fufua kazi yako katikati wakati; katikati ya muda huu; fanya hiyo ijulikane; kumbuka kuwa na rehema katika ghadhabu yako.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Mungu alikuja kutoka Temani, na yule Mtakatifu kutoka Parani. (Sela) Utukufu wake umezifunika mbingu, na dunia ilikuwa imejaa utukufu wake.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
Miali miwili ya mikono yake ilikuwa iking'aa kama mwanga, ambapo uweza wake ulifichwa.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
Ugonjwa wa kuua ulitangulia mbele yake, na adha iliifuta miguu yake.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
Yeye alisimama na akaipima nchi; aliangalia na aliyatikisa mataifa. Hata milima ya milele iliharibiwa kabisa, na vilima vya milele vilianguka chini. Njia yake ni ya milele.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
Niliona mahema ya Wakushi katika mateso, na vitambaa vya mahema katika Midiani vinatetema.
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea, that you did ride upon your horses and your chariots of salvation?
Yahwe alikuwa na hasira pale mtoni? Ghadhabu yako ilikuwa dhidi ya mito, au hasira yako dhidi ya bahari, unapopanda juu ya farasi wenye mikokoteni na wa ushindi wako?
9 Your bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even your word. (Selah) You did cleave the earth with rivers.
Umeleta upinde wako bila mfuniko; unaweka mishale kwenye upinde wako! (Sela) uliigawa nchi na mito.
10 The mountains saw you, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
Milima ilikuona wewe na kugeuka kwa huzuni. Maji yaliyomwagwa chini yalipita juu yao; kina cha bahari kilipaza sauti. Mawimbi yake yakainuka juu.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of your arrows they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear.
Jua na mwezi vilisimama imara juu mahali pake katika mwanga wa mishale yako na ilipaa, pale katika uangavu wa mwanga wa mikuki yako.
12 You did march through the land in indignation, you did thresh the heathen in anger.
Umetembea juu ya nchi kwa uchungu. Katika ghadhabu umepukuchua mataifa.
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. (Selah)
Ulikwenda nje kwaajili ya wokovu wa watu wako, Kwaajili ya wokovu wa mteule wako. Wewe pondaponda kichwa cha nyumba ya mwovu kuweka wazi msingi wa shingo. (Sela)
14 You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
Umekichoma kichwa cha wapiganaji wake kwa mshale wake mwenyewe sababu walikuja kama upepo kututawanya sisi, wivu wao ulikuwa kama mtu ambaye anamteketeza masikini katika mahali pamaficho.
15 You did walk through the sea with your horses, through the heap of great waters.
Umesafiri juu ya bahari kwa farasi wako, na kuyapita maji makuu.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
Nilisikia, na ndani yangu nilitetemeka! midomo yangu ilitetemesha sauti. Uozo unakuja katika mifupa yangu, na chini yangu mwenyewe nilitetemeka kama nasubiri kwaajili ya siku ya kuhuzunisha ifike juu ya watu waliotushambulia sisi.
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Ingawa mtini hauchipui na hauzai kutokana na mzababibu; na ingawa kuzaa kwa mti wa mzaituni hakuridhishi na mashamba hayatoi chakula; na ingawa kundi mifugo limetoweka na hakuna ng'ombe katika zizi, hiki ndicho nitakacho kifanya.
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Bado, nitafurahia katika Yahwe. Nitakuwa nafuraha kwa sababu ya Mungu wa wokovu wangu.
19 The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Bwana Yahwe ni nguvu yangu na anaifanya miguu yangu kama ya kulungu. Ananifanya mimi niende mbele mahali pangu pa juu. - kufuata maelekezo ya muziki, katika vyombo vyangu vya nyuzi.
