< Habakkuk 1 >

1 The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Ti waragawag a naawat ni Habakkuk a profeta:
2 YHWH, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence." and will you not save?
“O Yahweh, kasano kabayag ti panagas-asugko, ket saanmo a denggen? Nagkiddawak kenka nga addaan panagbuteng, 'Kinaranggas!' ngem saannak nga isalakan!
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.
Apay nga ipapakkitam kaniak ti kinadakes ken saan nga umno nga aramid? Ti pannakadadael ken kinaranggas ket adda iti sangoanak; adda panagraranget ken rumsua ti panagaapa!
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted.
Ngarud, nakapsuten ti linteg, ket saanen nga agbayag ti hustisia iti aniaman a tiempo. Ta pinalawlawan dagiti nadangkes dagiti nalinteg; isu a rimsua ti saan a pudno a hustisia.” Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenni Habakkuk.
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.
Kitaem dagiti nasion ket sukimatem ida; maklaat ken masdaawka! Gapu ta sigurado nga umadanin nga aramidek kadagiti aldawmo a saanmonto a patien inton maipadamag kenka daytoy.
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.
Ta kitaem! umadanin a patakderek dagiti Caldeo—dayta naulpit ken naranggas a nasion—agmarmartsada iti entero a daga tapno agtagikua kadagiti balay a saanda a kukua.
7 He is feared and dreaded. His judgment will be from himself, and his authority will come from himself.
Nakaam-amak ken nakabutbutengda; ti panangukom ken ti kinatan-okda ket agtaud kadakuada!
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.
Naparpardas dagiti kabalioda ngem dagiti leopardo, naparpartak ngem kadagiti lobo iti rabii! Isu a bumaddek dagiti kabalioda, ken aggapu iti nakaad-adayo dagiti kumakabalioda a lallaki—tumayabda a kasla maysa nga agila a magagaran a mangan!
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand.
Umayda amin para iti kinaranggas, ti kinaaduda nga umay ket kasla angin iti disierto, ket urnongenda dagiti balud a kasla darat!
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.
Isu a lalaisenda dagiti ari, ket rabrabak laeng kadakuada dagiti mangiturturay! Katkatawaanda ti tunggal sarikedked, ta paggabsuonenda ti daga ket alaenda dagitoy!
11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god."
Ket lumabas a dagus ti angin; lumabas daytoy—managbasol a lallaki, a ti diosda ket ti kinamaingelda!” Nagdamag ni Habakkuk kenni Yahweh iti maysa pay a saludsod.
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.
“Saanka kadi a naggapu iti un-unana a tiempo, O Yahweh a Diosko, a kasasantoan? Saankaminto a matay. Sika O Yahweh ti nangdutok kadakuada para iti panangukom ken sika, a dakkel unay a Bato, ti nangisaad kadakuada para iti panangpalinteg!
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,
Nadalus unay dagiti matam tapno kumita iti dakes, ken saanmo a kabaelan ti kumita iti dakes nga aramid nga addaan pabor; apay ngarud a pabpaburam dagiti mangliliput? Apay a naulimekka kabayatan nga al-alun-onen dagiti nadangkes dagiti nalinlinteg ngem kadakuada?
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the crawling creatures, that have no ruler over them?
Pinagbalinmo a kasla ikan iti baybay dagiti tattao, kas kadagiti agkarkarayam a banbanag nga awan ti mangiturturay kadakuada.
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.
Iyaonda amin ida babaen iti banniit; iguyodda dagiti tattao kadagiti iket ket urnongenda ida iti iket a pagur-urnonganda. Daytoy ti makagapu no apay nga agragragsakda ken agpukpukkawda a sirarag-o!
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.
Isu nga agidatonda iti iket a pagkalkalapda ken agpuorda pay ti insenso iti iket a pagur-urnonganda, ta dagiti napalukmeg a narungsot nga ayup ti bingayda ken ti nalukmeg a karne ti taraonda!
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, killing the nations without mercy?
Ikkatenda kadi ti nagian ti iketda ket ituloyda a papatayen nga awanan asi dagiti nasion?”
