< Habakkuk 3 >
1 A prayer by Habakkuk the prophet, —in the manner of an Ode.
Inilah doa Nabi Habakuk:
2 O Yahweh, I have heard tidings of thee, I am afraid. O Yahweh! Thy work—in the midst of the years, O revive it, in the midst of the years, wilt thou make known? In trouble, wilt thou remember, compassion?
Ya TUHAN, kudengar tentang perbuatan-Mu, maka rasa khidmat memenuhi hatiku. Kiranya perbuatan besar itu Kauulangi dan Kaunyatakan di zaman kami ini. Hendaknya kami Kaukasihani walaupun Engkau panas hati.
3 GOD, from Teman, cometh in, and, the Holy One, from Mount Paran. (Selah) His splendour, hath covered the heavens, and, his praise, hath filled the earth:
Engkau Allah Yang Mahasuci datang dari Teman, Engkau datang dari pegunungan Paran. Langit diliputi keagungan-Mu; bumi penuh dengan pujian bagi-Mu.
4 And, a brightness, as light, appeareth, Rays, out of his hand, hath he, —and, there, is the hiding of his power.
Kaudatang dengan cahaya cemerlang, dari tangan-Mu keluar sinar gemilang, di situlah kuasa-Mu Kausembunyikan.
5 Before him, marcheth pestilence, —and fever, goeth forth, at his feet:
Kausuruh penyakit berjalan di depan-Mu dan maut ikut di belakang-Mu.
6 He hath stood and measured the earth, he hath looked, and caused nations to tremble, and, scattered as dust, are the perpetual mountains, and, sunk, are the age-abiding hills, —Forthgoings age-abiding, are his.
Jika Engkau berhenti, bumi bergetar; jika Engkau memandang, bangsa-bangsa gempar. Gunung-gunung yang abadi terbelah-belah; bukit-bukit yang kekal pun merendah, di bukit-bukit itulah Engkau berjalan sejak zaman purba.
7 Under distress, saw I the tents of Ethiopia, —tremble, do the curtains of the land of Midian.
Kulihat rakyat Kusyan ditimpa ketakutan, dan orang Midian gemetaran.
8 Against the rivers, is Yahweh wroth? Against the rivers, is thine anger? Against the sea, is thine indignation? For thou wilt ride on Thy horses, Thy chariots, [shall be] salvation!
Ya TUHAN, karena lautkah Engkau naik darah? Sungai-sungaikah yang membuat Engkau marah? Kautunggangi awan sebagai kuda dan kereta perang, ketika umat-Mu Kauberi kemenangan.
9 To nakedness, is bared thy bow, oaths of chastisement—song! (Selah) With rivers, thou dost cleave open the land.
Busur-Mu sudah Kausediakan, panah-Mu siap untuk dilepaskan. Lalu bumi Kaubelah menjadi sungai-sungai.
10 The mountains, have seen thee—they tremble, a downpour of waters, hath passed along, —the roaring deep, hath given forth, his voice, on high—his hand, hath he uplifted.
Melihat Engkau, gunung-gunung berguncang dari langit turun hujan seperti tertuang. Air di bawah tanah gemuruh suaranya, ombaknya gulung-gemulung dan bergelora.
11 Sun, moon, have stood still, on high, —like light, thine arrows, speed along, like brightness, is the flash of thy spear.
Cahaya panah-panah-Mu melaju cepat, tombak-Mu kemilau berkilat-kilat, maka berhentilah matahari dan bulan di tempat.
12 In wrath, dost thou stride through the land, —in anger, dost thou thresh the nations.
Dengan geram Engkau menjelajahi bumi; bangsa-bangsa Kauinjak-injak dengan panas hati.
13 Thou hast come forth to the salvation of thy people, to salvation, with thine Anointed One, —Thou hast crushed the Head out of the house of the lawless one, baring the foundation up to the neck, (Selah)
Engkau melangkah maju untuk membebaskan umat-Mu dan untuk menyelamatkan raja pilihan-Mu. Kaupukul jatuh pemimpin orang durjana, Kausapu habis semua pengikutnya.
14 Thou hast pierced, with his own staves, the head of his chiefs, they storm along, to scatter me, —their exultant thought, is, in very deed, to devour the oppressed one, in a secret place!
Panah-panah-Mu menembus pemimpin pasukan lawan waktu tentaranya datang sekuat topan, agar kami diceraiberaikan. Mereka tertawa dengan senang seperti orang yang dengan diam-diam menindas orang yang berkekurangan.
15 Thou hast driven, into the sea, thy chariot-horses. Foaming are the mighty waters!
Dengan kuda-Mu Kauinjak-injak samudera dan lautan yang putih berbusa.
16 I heard, and I trembled within me, at the voice, my lips, quivered, decay, entered, my bones, and, in my limbs, I trembled, —though I am to find rest, in the day of distress, when their invader, cometh up against the people.
Mendengar itu, hatiku gentar dan bibirku bergetar. Aku menjadi lemah tanpa kekuatan, kakiku tersandung, di mana pun aku berjalan. Aku akan menunggu dengan tenang hukuman Allah atas para penyerang.
17 Though, the fig-tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food, —the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls,
Meskipun pohon ara tak ada buahnya dan pohon anggur tak ada anggurnya, biarpun panen zaitun menemui kegagalan dan hasil gandum di ladang mengecewakan, walaupun domba-domba mati semua dan kandang ternak tiada isinya,
18 Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice, —I will exult in the God of my salvation.
aku akan gembira selalu, sebab Engkau TUHAN Allah penyelamatku.
19 Yahweh, My Lord, is my strength, therefore hath he made my feet like hinds, and, upon my high places, will he cause me to march along. To the chief musician, on my double harp.
Engkau memberi aku kekuatan seperti kaki rusa, kakiku Kaukokohkan. Engkau membimbing aku supaya aman waktu berjalan di pegunungan.
