Habakkuk 1
1 The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
| اَلْوَحْيُ ٱلَّذِي رَآهُ حَبَقُّوقُ ٱلنَّبِيُّ. | ١ |
2 Jehovah, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence." and will you not save?
| حَتَّى مَتَى يَارَبُّ أَدْعُو وَأَنْتَ لَا تَسْمَعُ؟ أَصْرُخُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلظُّلْمِ وَأَنْتَ لَا تُخَلِّصُ؟ | ٢ |
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
| لِمَ تُرِينِي إِثْمًا، وَتُبْصِرُ جَوْرًا؟ وَقُدَّامِي ٱغْتِصَابٌ وَظُلْمٌ وَيَحْدُثُ خِصَامٌ وَتَرْفَعُ ٱلْمُخَاصَمَةُ نَفْسَهَا. | ٣ |
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
| لِذَلِكَ جَمَدَتِ ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ وَلَا يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ بَتَّةً، لِأَنَّ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ يُحِيطُ بِٱلصِّدِّيقِ، فَلِذَلِكَ يَخْرُجُ ٱلْحُكْمُ مُعْوَجًّا. | ٤ |
5 "Look, you scoffers, and watch, and be utterly amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe, though it is told you.
| «اُنْظُرُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَأَبْصِرُوا وَتَحَيَّرُوا حَيْرَةً. لِأَنِّي عَامِلٌ عَمَلًا فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ لَا تُصَدِّقُونَ بِهِ إِنْ أُخْبِرَ بِهِ. | ٥ |
6 For, look, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places not his own.
| فَهَأَنَذَا مُقِيمٌ ٱلْكَلْدَانِيِّينَ ٱلْأُمَّةَ ٱلْمُرَّةَ ٱلْقَاحِمَةَ ٱلسَّالِكَةَ فِي رِحَابِ ٱلْأَرْضِ لِتَمْلِكَ مَسَاكِنَ لَيْسَتْ لَهَا. | ٦ |
7 He is feared and dreaded. His judgment will be from himself, and his authority will come from himself.
| هِيَ هَائِلَةٌ وَمَخُوفَةٌ. مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهَا يَخْرُجُ حُكْمُهَا وَجَلَالُهَا. | ٧ |
8 His horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen press proudly on, and, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.
| وَخَيْلُهَا أَسْرَعُ مِنَ ٱلنُّمُورِ، وَأَحَدُّ مِنْ ذِئَابِ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَنْتَشِرُونَ، وَفُرْسَانُهَا يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ، وَيَطِيرُونَ كَٱلنَّسْرِ ٱلْمُسْرِعِ إِلَى ٱلْأَكْلِ. | ٨ |
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand.
| يَأْتُونَ كُلُّهُمْ لِلظُّلْمِ. مَنْظَرُ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى قُدَّامٍ، وَيَجْمَعُونَ سَبْيًا كَٱلرَّمْلِ. | ٩ |
10 And he will scoff at kings and deride rulers. He laughs at every stronghold, for he builds up an earthen ramp, and takes it.
| وَهِيَ تَسْخَرُ مِنَ ٱلْمُلُوكِ، وَٱلرُّؤَسَاءُ ضُحْكَةٌ لَهَا. وَتَضْحَكُ عَلَى كُلِّ حِصْنٍ، وَتُكَوِّمُ ٱلتُّرَابَ وَتَأْخُذُهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god."
| ثُمَّ تَتَعَدَّى رُوحُهَا فَتَعْبُرُ وَتَأْثَمُ. هَذِهِ قُوَّتُهَا إِلَهُهَا». | ١١ |
12 Aren't you from everlasting, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Jehovah, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.
| أَلَسْتَ أَنْتَ مُنْذُ ٱلْأَزَلِ يَارَبُّ إِلَهِي قُدُّوسِي؟ لَا نَمُوتُ. يَارَبُّ لِلْحُكْمِ جَعَلْتَهَا، وَيَا صَخْرُ لِلتَّأْدِيبِ أَسَّسْتَهَا. | ١٢ |
13 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,
| عَيْنَاكَ أَطْهَرُ مِنْ أَنْ تَنْظُرَا ٱلشَّرَّ، وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ٱلنَّظَرَ إِلَى ٱلْجَوْرِ، فَلِمَ تَنْظُرُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاهِبِينَ، وَتَصْمُتُ حِينَ يَبْلَعُ ٱلشِّرِّيرُ مَنْ هُوَ أَبَرُّ مِنْهُ؟ | ١٣ |
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the crawling creatures, that have no ruler over them?
| وَتَجْعَلُ ٱلنَّاسَ كَسَمَكِ ٱلْبَحْرِ، كَدَبَّابَاتٍ لَا سُلْطَانَ لَهَا. | ١٤ |
15 He takes up all of them with the hook, and he catches them in his net and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
| تُطْلِعُ ٱلْكُلَّ بِشِصِّهَا، وَتَصْطَادُهُمْ بِشَبَكَتِهَا وَتَجْمَعُهُمْ فِي مِصْيَدَتِهَا، فَلِذَلِكَ تَفْرَحُ وَتَبْتَهِجُ. | ١٥ |
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good.
| لِذَلِكَ تَذْبَحُ لِشَبَكَتِهَا، وَتُبَخِّرُ لِمِصْيَدَتِهَا، لِأَنَّهُ بِهِمَا سَمِنَ نَصِيبُهَا، وَطَعَامُهَا مُسَمَّنٌ. | ١٦ |
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, killing the nations without mercy?
| أَفَلِأَجْلِ هَذَا تَفْرَغُ شَبَكَتُهَا وَلَا تَعْفُو عَنْ قَتْلِ ٱلْأُمَمِ دَائِمًا؟ | ١٧ |
