Habakkuk 3
1 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
oratio Abacuc prophetae pro ignorationibus
2 YHWH, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, YHWH. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
Domine audivi auditionem tuam et timui Domine opus tuum in medio annorum vivifica illud in medio annorum notum facies cum iratus fueris misericordiae recordaberis
3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
Deus ab austro veniet et Sanctus de monte Pharan semper operuit caelos gloria eius et laudis eius plena est terra
4 His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
splendor eius ut lux erit cornua in manibus eius ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius
5 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
ante faciem eius ibit mors et egredietur diabolus ante pedes eius
6 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
stetit et mensus est terram aspexit et dissolvit gentes et contriti sunt montes saeculi incurvati sunt colles mundi ab itineribus aeternitatis eius
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Aethiopiae turbabuntur pelles terrae Madian
8 Was YHWH displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
numquid in fluminibus iratus es Domine aut in fluminibus furor tuus vel in mari indignatio tua quia ascendes super equos tuos et quadrigae tuae salvatio
9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum iuramenta tribubus quae locutus es semper fluvios scindes terrae
10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
viderunt te et doluerunt montes gurges aquarum transiit dedit abyssus vocem suam altitudo manus suas levavit
11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky, at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo in luce sagittarum tuarum ibunt in splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae
12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
in fremitu conculcabis terram in furore obstupefacies gentes
13 You went forth for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. (Selah)
egressus es in salutem populi tui in salutem cum christo tuo percussisti caput de domo impii denudasti fundamentum usque ad collum semper
14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
maledixisti sceptris eius capiti bellatorum eius venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me exultatio eorum sicut eius qui devorat pauperem in abscondito
15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
viam fecisti in mari equis tuis in luto aquarum multarum
16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
audivi et conturbatus est venter meus ad vocem contremuerunt labia mea ingrediatur putredo in ossibus meis et subter me scateat ut requiescam in die tribulationis ut ascendam ad populum accinctum nostrum
17 For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food; the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls:
ficus enim non florebit et non erit germen in vineis mentietur opus olivae et arva non adferent cibum abscidetur de ovili pecus et non erit armentum in praesepibus
18 yet I will rejoice in YHWH. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.
ego autem in Domino gaudebo exultabo in Deo Iesu meo
19 YHWH is my strength. He makes my feet like deer's feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
Dominus Deus fortitudo mea et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum et super excelsa mea deducet me victori in psalmis canentem
