Habakkuk 1
1 The prophecy which was revealed to the prophet Habakkuk.
Faminaniana ny loza hanjo, izay hitan’ i Habakoka mpaminany.
2 How long, O Jehovah, do I cry, and thou dost not hear! How long do I complain to thee of violence, and thou dost not save!
Jehovah ô, indrisy ny hahelan’ ny efa nitarainako, Nefa tsy nohenoinao! Mitaraina aho hoe: Loza! Nefa tsy vonjenao ihany.
3 Why dost thou suffer me to see iniquity, And why dost thou look upon wickedness? For spoiling and violence are before me; There is contention, and strife exalteth itself.
Nahoana no ataonao mahita faharatsiana aho. Ary mijery fahoriana Hianao? Fa fandravana sy loza no eo anatrehako, Ary misy ady, sady miseho ny fifandirana.
4 Therefore the law faileth, And judgment is not pronounced according to truth; For the wicked encompasseth the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment is pronounced.
Koa noho izany dia ngoly ny lalàna, Ary tsy mivoaka ny rariny; Fa irohonan’ ny ratsy fanahy ny marina, Ka izany no ivoahan’ ny fitsarana miangatra.
5 Behold ye among the nations, and look! Yea, wonder, and be astonished! For I do a work in your days Which ye will not believe though it be told you.
Jereo any amin’ ny jentilisa, ka diniho, ary gagà dia gagà; Fa manao zavatra amin’ ny andronareo Aho, Izay tsy hinoanareo, na dia holazaina aminareo aza.
6 For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, A fierce and swift people, Which go over the breadth of the earth, To take possession of dwelling-places that are not their own.
Fa, indro, atsangako ny Kaldeana, Dia ilay firenena masiaka sady mirehidrehitra, Izay mamaky eran’ ny tany Hahazoany fonenana izay tsy azy.
7 They are terrible and dreadful; From themselves go forth their law and their dignity.
Mahatsiravina sy mahatahotra izy; Avy amin’ ny tenany ihany ny fitsarany sy ny fahalehibiazany.
8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, And fiercer than evening wolves. Their horsemen leap proudly; Their horsemen come from far; They fly like an eagle, hastening to devour.
Faingana noho ny leoparda ny soavaliny Sady masiaka noho ny amboadia hariva; Ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny mampiriotra, eny, ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny dia avy lavitra; Miezaka toy ny voromahery maika hihinana izy.
9 All of them come for violence; The multitude of their faces is directed forwards, And they gather captives as sand.
Hampidi-doza no ihavian’ izy rehetra; Ny handroso ihany no atrehiny fatratra, Ka manangona sambotra toy ny fasika izy.
10 They also scoff at kings, And princes are to them a laughing-stock; They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earth and take it.
Izy manakora ny mpanjaka, Ary ihomehezany ny mpanapaka; Ny tanàna mimanda rehetra dia ihomehezany, Ka dia manandratra tovon-tany izy ka mahafata azy.
11 Then their spirit is uplifted, and they transgress, and become guilty; This their strength is made their god.
Dia mihelina toy ny rivotra izy Ary mandroso ka mahazo heloka. Izany heriny izany no andriamaniny!
12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We shall not die! Thou, O Jehovah, hast appointed them for judgment; Thou, O Rock, hast ordained them for chastisement.
Tsy hatrizay hatrizay va Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro, Iray Masiko? Tsy ho faty izahay; Ry Jehovah ô, ho famaizana no nanendrenao ireny, Ry Vatolampy ô, fananarana no nanangananao azy
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, And canst not look on wickedness; Why then dost thou look on transgressors, And art silent, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he?
Hianao, Izay madio maso ka tsy te-hitsinjo ny ratsy Ary tsy mahajery fahoriana, Nahoana Hianao no mijery izay mamitaka Ary mangìna, raha ny ratsy fanahy mandrapaka ny marina noho izy,
14 And why makest thou men as the fishes of the sea, As the reptiles that have no ruler?
Ary manao ny olona ho toy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, Sy ho toy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka, izay tsy mana-mpanapaka?
15 They take up all of them with the hook, They catch them in their net, And gather them in their drag; Therefore they rejoice and exult.
Aingainy amin’ ny fintana izy rehetra, Samboriny amin’ ny haratony Ary sarihany amin’ ny harato tarihiny; Ka dia faly sy ravoravo izy.
16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, And burn incense to their drag; Because by them their portion is fat, And their food plenteous.
Koa izany no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny haratony sy andoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny harato tarihiny; Fa ireo no ahazoany hanina matsiro sy anjara matavy.
17 Shall they therefore empty the net, And slay the nations continually without mercy?
Koa noho izany dia hanaisotra ny ao amin’ ny tandrohony va izy Ary hamono firenena mandrakariva ka tsy hiantra?
