Habakkuk 1
1 The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
अगमवक्ता हबकूकले पाएका सन्देश,
2 YHWH, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence." and will you not save?
“परमप्रभु, म कति समय अझै सहायताको निम्ति पुकारूँ, तर तपाईंले सुन्नुहुन्न? म ‘हिंसा’ भनेर तपाईंलाई पुकार्दछु, तर तपाईंले बचाउनुहुन्न ।
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.
मलाई किन अपराध र दुष्कर्म देखाउनुहुन्छ? सर्वनाश र हिंसा मेरो सामुन्ने छन् । त्यहाँ झैँ-झगडा छ, र विवाद चर्किंदै छ ।
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
यसैकारण कानून-व्यवस्था कमजोर भएको छ, र न्याय अब छैन । किनकि दुष्टले धर्मीलाई घेर्दछ । यसैकारण इन्साफ झुटो भएको छ ।” परमप्रभु हबकूकलाई जवाफ दिनुहुन्छ ।
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.
“जाति-जातिहरूलाई हेर् र तिनीहरूको जाँच गर्, अचम्मित, र आश्चर्यचकित हो! किनभने निश्चय नै तेरै समयमा म यस्तो काम गर्दै छु जसको विषयमा तँलाई बताइँदा तँलाई विश्वास लाग्नेछैन ।
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.
किनभने हेर्, म बेबिलोनीहरूलाई उठाउँदै छु, त्यो भयानक र उग्र जाति । तिनीहरू सारा भुमिमा अर्काको बासस्थान खोस्नको निम्ति अगि बढिरहेका छन् ।
7 He is feared and dreaded. His judgment will be from himself, and his authority will come from himself.
तिनीहरू डरलाग्दा र भयानक छन् । न्याय र वैभव तिनीहरूबाटै अगाडि बढ्छ ।
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.
तिनीहरूका घोडाहरू चितुवाभन्दा तेज, र साँझका ब्वाँसाहरूभन्दा द्रुत छन् । यसैकारण तिनीहरूका घोडाहरूले जमिनमा कुल्चन्छन्, र तिनीहरूका घोडचढीहरू टाढा-टाढाबाट आउँछन्, र तिनीहरू शिकारलाई खानको निम्ति आतुर भएको गरुडझैँ उड्छन् ।
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand.
तिनीहरू सबै हिंसाको निम्ति आउँछन् । तिनीहरूको समुहहरू मरुभूमिको हुरीझैँ जान्छन्, र बालुवासरह कैदीहरू ल्याउँछन् ।
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.
यसैकारण तिनीहरूले राजाहरूलाई जिस्काउँछन्, र शासकहरू तिनीहरूका निम्ति हाँसोका पात्र मात्र हुन् । हरेक किल्लाहरू देखेर तिनीहरू हाँस्छन्, किनभने तिनीहरूले माटोको ढिस्को बनाएर ती लैजान्छन् ।
11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god."
अनि बतास आउनेछ र दोषी मानिसहरूबाट त्यो जानेछ, ती मनिसहरू जसको सामर्थ्य तिनीहरूको देवता हो ।” हबकूकले परमप्रभुलाई अर्को प्रश्न गर्छन्,
12 Aren't you from everlasting, YHWH my God, my Holy One? We will not die. YHWH, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.
“परमप्रभु मेरा परमेश्वर, मेरा एक मात्र पवित्र परमेश्वर, के तपाईं प्राचीन समयदेखि नै हुनुहुन्न र? हामी मर्नेछैनौँ । परमप्रभुले तिनीहरूलाई न्यायको निम्ति नियुक्त गर्नुभएको छ, र हे चट्टान, तपाईंले तिनीहरूलाई सुधारको निम्ति स्थापित गर्नुभएको छ ।
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,
तपाईंका आँखा यति शुद्ध छन्, कि तपाईं दुष्टलाई हेर्नुहुन्न, र तपाईंले गलत काम गर्नेलाई कृपाले हेर्न सक्नुहुन्न । त्यसोभए किन तपाईंले धोका दिनेलाई कृपाले हेर्नुभएको छ? दुष्टहरूले तिनीहरूको आफ्नो सङ्ख्याभन्दा धेरै धर्मीहरूलाई निल्दा तपाईं किन चुप बस्नुभएको छ?
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the crawling creatures, that have no ruler over them?
तपाईंले मानिसलाई समुद्रका माछाझैँ बनाउनुहुन्छ, घस्रने जीवहरूझैँ जसको कुनै शासक छैन ।
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.
त्यसले सबैलाई बल्छीले ल्याउँछ । त्यसले मानिसहरूलाई माछी-जालमा पारेर पर लैजान्छ । त्यसले महाजालमा सबैलाई थुपार्छ, अनि त्यो खुशी हुन्छ र रमाहट गर्दछ ।
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.
त्यसैकारण त्यसले आफ्नो माछी-जालमा बलि चढाउँछ र महाजालमा धूप बाल्छ, किनभने आफ्नो जालद्धारा त्यो विलासितामा जिउँछ, र त्यसको भोजन उत्तम हुन्छ ।
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, killing the nations without mercy?
के त्यसले यसैकारण आफ्नो जाल रित्त्याउँदै जान्छ, र जाति-जातिहरूलाई निर्दयतापूर्वक काटिरहन्छ?”
