Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet has seen:
預言者ハバククが示を蒙りし預言の重負
2 Until when, O YHWH, have I cried, And You do not hear? I cry to You, “Violence!” And You do not save.
ヱホバよ我呼はるに汝の民に聽たまはざること何時までぞや 我なんぢにむかひて強暴を訴ふれども汝は助けたまはざるなり
3 Why do You show me iniquity, And cause [me] to behold perversity? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, And there is strife, and contention lifts [itself] up,
汝なにとて我に害惡を見せたまふや 何とて艱難を瞻望居たまふや 奪掠および強暴わが前に行はる且爭論あり鬪諍おこる
4 Therefore law ceases, And judgment does not go forth forever, For the wicked is surrounding the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goes forth.
是によりて律法弛み公義正しく行はれず惡き者義しき者を圍むが故に公義曲りて行はる
5 “Look on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, You do not believe though it is declared.
汝ら國々の民の中を望み觀駭け 汝らの日に我一の事を爲ん 之を告る者あるとも汝ら信ぜざらん
6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy dwelling places not his own.
視よ我カルデヤカ人を興さんとす 是すなはち猛くまた荒き國民にして地を縦横に行めぐり 己の有ならざる住處を奪ふ者なり
7 He [is] terrible and fearful, His judgment and his excellence go forth from him.
是は懼るべく又驚くべし 其是非威光は己より出づ
8 His horses have been swifter than leopards, And sharper than evening wolves, And his horsemen have increased, Even his horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hastening to consume.
その馬は豹よりも迅く夜求食する豺狼よりも疾し 其騎兵は跑まはる 即ちその騎兵は遠き處より來る 其飛ことは物を食はんと急ぐ鷲のごとし
9 All for violence—he comes in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And he gathers a captivity as the sand.
是は全く強暴のために來り 其面を前にむけて頻に進むその俘虜を寄集むることは砂のごとし
10 And he scoffs at kings, And princes [are] a laughter to him, He laughs at every fortification, And he heaps up dust, and captures it.
是は王等を侮り君等を笑ひ諸の城々を笑ひ土を積あげてこれを取ん
11 Then the spirit has passed on, Indeed, he transgresses, And [ascribes] this—his power—to his god.”
斯て風のごとくに行めぐり進みわたりて罪を獲ん 是は己の力を神とす
12 Are You not of old, O YHWH, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O YHWH, You have appointed him for judgment, And, O Rock, You have founded him for reproof.
ヱホバわが神わが聖者よ 汝は永遠より在すに非ずや 我らは死なじ ヱホバよ汝は是を審判のために設けたまへり 磐よ汝は是を懲戒のために立たまへり
13 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, You are not able to look on perverseness, Why do You behold the treacherous? You keep silent when the wicked Swallow the more righteous than he,
汝は目清くして肯て惡を觀給はざる者 肯て不義を視たまはざる者なるに何ゆゑ邪曲の者を觀すて置たまふや 惡き者を己にまさりて義しき者を呑噬ふに何ゆゑ汝黙し居たまふや
14 And You make man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing [with] none ruling over him.
汝は人をして海の魚のごとくならしめ君あらぬ昆蟲のごとくならしめたまふ
15 He has brought up each of them with a hook, He catches it in his net, and gathers it in his dragnet, Therefore he delights and rejoices.
彼鈎をもて之を盡く釣あげ網をもて之を寄せ集め引網をもて之を捕ふるなり 是に因て彼歡び樂しむ
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, And makes incense to his dragnet, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
是故に彼その網に犠牲を獻げその引網に香を焚く 其は之がためにその分肥まさりその食饒になりたればなり
17 Does he therefore empty his net, And continually not spare to slay nations?
然ど彼はその網を傾けつつなほたえず國々の人を惜みなく殺すことをするならんか
