Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet has seen:
Breme koje vidje prorok Avakum.
2 Until when, O YHWH, have I cried, And You do not hear? I cry to You, “Violence!” And You do not save.
Dokle æu, Gospode, vapiti a ti neæeš da èuješ? dokle æu ti vikati: nasilje! a ti neæeš da izbaviš?
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,
Zašto puštaš da vidim bezakonje, i da gledam muku i grabež i nasilje pred sobom, i kako podižu svaðu i raspru?
4 Therefore law ceases, And judgment does not go forth forever, For the wicked is surrounding the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goes forth.
Zato se ostavlja zakon, i sud ne izlazi nigda, jer bezbožnik optjeèe pravednika, zato sud izlazi izopaèen.
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.
Pogledajte po narodima i vidite, i èudite se i divite se, jer æu uèiniti djelo u vaše dane kojega neæete vjerovati kad se stane pripovijedati.
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.
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti Haldejce, narod ljut i nagao, koji æe iæi po zemlji širom da osvoji naselja koja nijesu njegova.
7 He [is] terrible and fearful, His judgment and his excellence go forth from him.
Žestok je i strašan, sud njegov i vlast njegova od njega izlazi.
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.
Konji æe mu biti brži od risova i ljuæi od vukova uveèe, veliko æe mnoštvo biti konjika njegovijeh, i iduæi izdaleka konjici njegovi doletjeæe kao orao kad hiti na lov.
9 All for violence—he comes in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And he gathers a captivity as the sand.
Svi æe doæi na grabež, s lica æe biti kao istoèni vjetar, pokupiæe roblje kao pijesak.
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.
I carevima æe se rugati i knezovi æe im biti potsmijeh, smijaæe se svakom gradu, nasuæe zemlje, i uzeæe ga.
11 Then the spirit has passed on, Indeed, he transgresses, And [ascribes] this—his power—to his god.”
Tada æe mu se promijeniti duh, proæi æe i skriviæe; ta æe mu (sila) njegova biti od boga njegova.
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.
Nijesi li ti od vijeka, Gospode Bože moj, sveèe moj? neæemo umrijeti; ti si ga, Gospode, odredio za sud; i utvrdio si ga, stijeno, za karanje.
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,
Èiste su oèi tvoje da ne možeš gledati zla, i bezakonja ne možeš gledati; zašto gledaš bezakonike? muèiš, kad bezbožnik proždire pravijega od sebe?
14 And You make man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing [with] none ruling over him.
I hoæeš li ostaviti ljude kao ribe morske, kao bubine, koje nemaju gospodara?
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.
Izvlaèi ih sve udicom, hvata ih u mrežu svoju, i zgræe ih preðom svojom, zato se veseli i raduje.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, And makes incense to his dragnet, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
Zato prinosi žrtvu svojoj mreži, i kadi svojoj preði; jer je tijem dio njegov pretio i hrana mu izabrana.
17 Does he therefore empty his net, And continually not spare to slay nations?
Hoæe li zato izvlaèiti mrežu svoju i jednako ubijati narode nemilice?
