< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigyonoth.
صَلَاةٌ لِحَبَقُّوقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّجَوِيَّةِ:١
2 O Lord, I have heard thy fame, [and] was afraid: O Lord, thy work—in the midst of the years [of sorrow] revive thou it, in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy.
يَارَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرَكَ فَجَزِعْتُ. يَارَبُّ، عَمَلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ أَحْيِهِ. فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ عَرِّفْ. فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱذْكُرِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ.٢
3 [When] God from Theman came, and the Holy One from mount Paran, (Selah) his glory covered the heavens, and of his praise the earth was full.
ٱللهُ جَاءَ مِنْ تِيمَانَ، وَٱلْقُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ. سِلَاهْ. جَلَالُهُ غَطَّى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ.٣
4 And [his] brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed forth out of his hand unto them; and there was the hiding of his power.
وَكَانَ لَمَعَانٌ كَٱلنُّورِ. لَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ شُعَاعٌ، وَهُنَاكَ ٱسْتِتَارُ قُدْرَتِهِ.٤
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth in his steps.
قُدَّامَهُ ذَهَبَ ٱلْوَبَأُ، وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتِ ٱلْحُمَّى.٥
6 He stood forward, and made the earth tremble; he looked and dispersed nations; and there burst asunder the everlasting mountains; there sunk the perpetual hills: the ways of the world are his.
وَقَفَ وَقَاسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. نَظَرَ فَرَجَفَ ٱلْأُمَمُ وَدُكَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلدَّهْرِيَّةُ وَخَسَفَتْ آكَامُ ٱلْقِدَمِ. مَسَالِكُ ٱلْأَزَلِ لَهُ.٦
7 In affliction I saw the tents of Cushan: they trembled—the curtains of the land of Midian.
رَأَيْتُ خِيَامَ كُوشَانَ تَحْتَ بَلِيَّةٍ. رَجَفَتْ شُقَقُ أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ.٧
8 Was the Lord wroth against the rivers? yea, was against the rivers thy anger [kindled]? was against the sea thy wrath that thou rodest upon thy horses, thy chariots of victory!
هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ حَمِيَ يَارَبُّ؟ هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ غَضَبُكَ؟ أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَخَطُكَ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ رَكِبْتَ خَيْلَكَ، مَرْكَبَاتِكَ مَرْكَبَاتِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ؟٨
9 Laid quite bare is thy bow, like severe rods of punishment [goeth forth] thy word, (Selah) into rivers thou splittest the earth.
عُرِّيَتْ قَوْسُكَ تَعْرِيَةً. سُبَاعِيَّاتُ سِهَامٍ كَلِمَتُكَ. سِلَاهْ. شَقَّقْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَنْهَارًا.٩
10 The mountains saw thee, they trembled; the flowing waters passed along: the deep issued forth its voice, the height lifted up its hands.
أَبْصَرَتْكَ فَفَزِعَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ. سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ طَمَا. أَعْطَتِ ٱللُّجَّةُ صَوْتَهَا. رَفَعَتْ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ.١٠
11 The sun and moon stood still in their dwelling: at the light of thy arrows they walked along, at the shining of the flaming glitter of thy spear.
اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَقَفَا فِي بُرُوجِهِمَا لِنُورِ سِهَامِكَ ٱلطَّائِرَةِ، لِلَمَعَانِ بَرْقِ مَجْدِكَ.١١
12 In indignation thou marchest through the earth, in anger thou treadest down nations.
بِغَضَبٍ خَطَرْتَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِسَخَطٍ دُسْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ.١٢
13 Thou wentest forth to the assistance of thy people, to the assistance of thy anointed: thou didst wound the head out of the house of the wicked, destroy the foundation with the high-towering walls. (Selah)
خَرَجْتَ لِخَلَاصِ شَعْبِكَ، لِخَلَاصِ مَسِيحِكَ. سَحَقْتَ رَأْسَ بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مُعَرِّيًا ٱلْأَسَاسَ حَتَّى ٱلْعُنُقِ. سِلَاهْ.١٣
14 Thou didst strike through with his own spears the chiefs of his villages, who rushed out furiously to scatter me; who rejoiced greatly as though they were to devour the poor in secret.
ثَقَبْتَ بِسِهَامِهِ رَأْسَ قَبَائِلِهِ. عَصَفُوا لِتَشْتِيتِي. ٱبْتِهَاجُهُمْ كَمَا لِأَكْلِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فِي ٱلْخُفْيَةِ.١٤
15 [But] thou didst pass along over the sea with thy horses, over the piled up billows of great waters.
سَلَكْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ، كُوَمَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ.١٥
16 I heard it, and my inmost parts trembled; at the report my lips quivered; rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place, that I should rest till the day of distress, till the withdrawing of the people that will invade us with its troops.
سَمِعْتُ فَٱرْتَعَدَتْ أَحْشَائِي. مِنَ ٱلصَّوْتِ رَجَفَتْ شَفَتَايَ. دَخَلَ ٱلنَّخْرُ فِي عِظَامِي، وَٱرْتَعَدْتُ فِي مَكَانِي لِأَسْتَرِيحَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ، عِنْدَ صُعُودِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي يَزْحَمُنَا.١٦
17 For the fig-tree doth not bud, and no fruit is on the vines; the productiveness of the olive deceiveth, and the fields yield no food; from the fold the flocks are cut off, and there are no herds in the stalls.
فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُزْهِرُ ٱلتِّينُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ حَمْلٌ فِي ٱلْكُرُومِ. يَكْذِبُ عَمَلُ ٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ، وَٱلْحُقُولُ لَا تَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا. يَنْقَطِعُ ٱلْغَنَمُ مِنَ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، وَلَا بَقَرَ فِي ٱلْمَذَاوِدِ،١٧
18 Yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the God of my salvation.
فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي.١٨
19 The Lord Eternal is my strength, and he maketh my feet fleet as those of the hinds, and he will cause me to tread upon my high places. To the chief musician of my songs.
اَلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ قُوَّتِي، وَيَجْعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَٱلْأَيَائِلِ، وَيُمَشِّينِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي. لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى آلَاتِي ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ.١٩
