Habakkuk 1
1 The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Nke a bụ ozi Habakuk onye amụma natara.
2 LORD, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence." and will you not save?
Onyenwe anyị, ruo ole mgbe ka m ga-anọgide na-eti mkpu ma ị dịghị ege ntị? Ruo ole mgbe ka m ga na-etiku gị na-asị, “Ihe ike, ihe ike!” ma ị dịghị azọpụta?
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.
Nʼihi gịnị ka i ji eme m ka m na-ahụ ihe ọjọọ? Gịnị mere i ji anagide mmegbu? Mbibi na ihe ike dị nʼihu m, na ịlụ ọgụ, na esemokwu jupụtakwara ebe niile.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
Nʼihi ya, iwu na-ada mba, ikpe ziri ezi adịghị agakwa nʼihu. Ndị ajọ mmadụ na-agba ndị ezi omume gburugburu, nke mere ka ikpe ziri ezi ghọọ ihe gbagọrọ agbagọ.
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.
“Legide mba niile anya, ka i hụ. Lee, ka o ju gị anya nke ukwuu. Nʼihi na agaje m ime ihe nʼụbọchị ndụ unu, nke unu na-agaghị ekwenye, ọ bụladị ma akọọrọ unu ya.
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.
Nʼihi na lee, agaje m ime ka ndị Kaldịa bilie, bụ mba ahụ na-adịghị eme ebere, na ndị na-eme ngwangwa. Ha bụ ndị na-ebu agha na-ejegharị na mba niile, ndị na-esite nʼaka ike na-enweta ebe obibi nke na-abụghị nke ha.
7 He is feared and dreaded. His judgment will be from himself, and his authority will come from himself.
Ha bụ mba a na-atụ ụjọ, na ndị dịkwa egwu. Ha bụ iwu nye onwe ha, ihe ha tụpụtara ka ha na-eme. Ọ bụ onwe ha ka ha na-ebuli elu.
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.
Ịnyịnya ha nwere ụkwụ nkọ karịa agụ. Ha na-akpa ike karịa nkịta ọhịa nke na-ejegharị nʼanyasị. Ndị ịnyịnya agha ha na-awụ ọsọ, ndị ha na-agba ịnyịnya na-esitekwa ebe dị anya na-abịa. Dịka ugo nke na-efedata i buru nri ọ ga-eri.
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand.
Ha niile na-abịa ime ihe ike. Ha ji ọsọ na-abịa dịka oke ifufe nke ọzara. Ha na-abịa ịchịkọta ndị a dọtara nʼagha dịka ha bụ uzuzu.
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.
Ha na-akwa ndị eze emo, jirikwa ndịisi ọchịchị na-eme ihe ọchị. Ha na-achị ebe niile e wusiri ike ọchị, na-ekpokọtakwa aja nʼazụ mgbidi niile ịlụta ha nʼagha.
11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god."
Mgbe ahụ, ha na-esi nʼebe ahụ gabiga dịka ifufe, na-agabigakwa ndị mehierenụ, bụrụkwa ndị ikpe mara, ndị ike ha bụ chi ha.”
12 Aren't you from everlasting, LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.
Onyenwe anyị, Ọ bụ na ị dịghị site mgbe niile ebighị ebi? Chineke m, na Onye Nsọ m, Ị gaghị anwụ. Gị, Onyenwe anyị, họpụtara ha maka ikpe ikpe. Gị, oke nkume m, emeela ka ha bụrụ ndị ga-enweta ahụhụ.
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,
Ma anya gị dị ọcha nke ukwuu, na ọ dịghị elekwasị ajọ ihe anya; ị naghị anabatakwa mmegbu. Ma gịnị mere i ji gba ndị aghụghọ nkịtị? Gịnị mere i ji gba nkịtị mgbe ndị ajọ omume na-eloda ndị bụ ndị ezi omume karịa ha?
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the crawling creatures, that have no ruler over them?
I meela ndị mmadụ ka ha dịrị ka azụ nke osimiri, e, dịka anụ na-akpụ akpụ nke oke osimiri, nke na-enweghị onye na-achị ha.
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.
Onye iro nke ajọ omume juru obi, na-eji nko ya na-egbu ha. Ọ na-ejikwa nko ụgbụ ya na-ejide ha. Ọ na-achịkọta ha nʼụgbụ ya, si otu a na-aṅụrị ọṅụ, ma na-etegharịkwa egwu ọṅụ.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ na-achụ aja na-esurekwa ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nye ụgbụ ya, nʼihi na ọ bụ ụgbụ ya na-eme ka ọ na-ebi ezi ndụ, na-erikwa nri kachasị mma
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, killing the nations without mercy?
Ọ ga-aga nʼihu mgbe niile na-awụpụ ihe o ji ụgbụ ya gbute na-ala mba niile nʼiyi, dịka o si masị ya, na-egosighị obi ebere ọbụla?
