Habakkuk 1
1 The oracle which he saw Habakkuk the prophet.
Uthenga umene mneneri Habakuku analandira mʼmasomphenya.
2 Until when? O Yahweh have I cried for help and not you will hear I cry out to you violence and not you save.
Kodi inu Yehova, ndidzakhala ndikukupemphani thandizo kwa nthawi yayitali motani, koma wosayankha? Kapena kufuwulira kwa inu kuti, “Chiwawa kuno!” koma wosatipulumutsa?
3 Why? do you make see me wickedness and mischief do you look at? and devastation and violence [are] to before me and it has been strife and contention it arises.
Chifukwa chiyani mukundionetsa zinthu zoyipa? Chifukwa chiyani mukundionetsa mavutowa? Ndikuona chiwonongeko ndi chiwawa; pali ndewu ndi kukangana kwambiri.
4 There-fore it grows numb [the] law and not it comes forth to perpetuity justice for [the] wicked [is] surrounding the righteous [person] there-fore it comes forth justice perverted.
Kotero malamulo anu atha mphamvu, ndipo chilungamo sichikugwira ntchito. Anthu oyipa aposa olungama, kotero apotoza chilungamo.
5 See among the nations and look and be astounded be astonished for a deed [I am] about to do in days your [which] not you will believe if it will be recounted.
“Yangʼanani pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, ndipo penyetsetsani, ndipo muthedwe nazo nzeru. Pakuti ndidzachitadi zinthu pa nthawi yanu zimene inu simudzazikhulupirira, ngakhale wina atakufotokozerani.
6 For here I [am] about to raise up the Chaldeans the nation bitter and impetuous which goes to [the] expanses of [the] earth to take possession of dwellings [which] not [belong] to it.
Pakuti taonani, Ine ndikuwutsa Ababuloni, anthu ankhanza ndiponso amphamvu, amene amapita pa dziko lonse lapansi kukalanda malo amene si awo.
7 [is] terrifying And awesome it from itself justice its and dignity its it comes forth.
Iwowa ndi anthu ochititsa mantha, ndipo ndi owopsa; amadzipangira okha malamulo ndi kudzipezera okha ulemu.
8 And they are swift more than leopards horses its and they are keen more than wolves of [the] evening and they paw [the] ground warhorses its and horsemen its from a distance they come they fly like an eagle making haste to devour.
Akavalo awo ndi aliwiro kwambiri kupambana akambuku ndi owopsa kupambana mimbulu yolusa nthawi ya madzulo. Okwerapo awo akuthamanga molunjika; a pa akavalo awo ndi ochokera kutali, akuwuluka ngati chiwombankhanga chofuna kugwira nyama;
9 All of it for violence it comes [the] totality of faces their [is] east-ward and it gathered like sand captive[s].
onse akubwera atakonzekera zachiwawa. Gulu la ankhondo likubwera ngati mphepo ya mʼchipululu ndi kugwira akapolo ochuluka ngati mchenga.
10 And it kings it derides and rulers [are] laughter to it it at every fortress it laughs and it heaped up earth and it captured it.
Akunyoza mafumu ndiponso kuchitira chipongwe olamulira. Akupeputsa mizinda yonse yotetezedwa; akumanga mitumbira ndi kulanda mizindayo.
11 Then it swept on a wind and it passed on and he is guilty [the one] who strength his [becomes] god his.
Kenaka amasesa mofulumira ngati mphepo nʼkumangopitirirabe, anthu ochimwa, amene mphamvu zawo ndiye mulungu wawo.”
12 ¿ Not [are] you from antiquity O Yahweh God my holy [one] my not we will die O Yahweh to judgment you have appointed it and O rock to reprove you have established it.
Inu Yehova, kodi sindinu wachikhalire? Mulungu wanga, Woyera wanga, ife sitidzafa. Inu Yehova, munawasankha anthuwo kuti abweretse chiweruzo; Inu Thanthwe, munawayika iwowo kuti atilange.
13 [you are too] pure of Eyes for seeing evil and to look to mischief not you are able why? do you look at treacherous [people] are you silent? when swallows up a wicked [person] a [person] righteous more than him.
Maso anu ndi oyera kwambiri safuna kuona choyipa; Inu simulekerera cholakwa. Chifukwa chiyani nanga mukulekerera anthu ochita zachinyengowa? Chifukwa chiyani muli chete pamene anthu oyipa akuwononga anthu olungama kupambana iwowo?
14 And you have made humankind like [the] fish of the sea like creeping thing[s] [which] not a ruler [is] over it.
Mwasandutsa anthu kukhala ngati nsomba zamʼnyanja, ngati zolengedwa zamʼnyanja zimene zilibe wolamulira.
15 All of it with a fish hook he brings up he drags away it in net his and he gathers it in fishing net his there-fore he rejoices and he may be glad.
Mdani wawo woyipa amakoka anthu onse ndi mbedza, amawakola mu ukonde wake, amawasonkhanitsa mu khoka lake; kotero iyeyo amakondwa ndi kusangalala.
16 There-fore he sacrifices to net his so he may make smoke to fishing net his for by them [is] fat portion his and food his [is] fat.
Choncho iye amaperekera nsembe ukonde wake ndiponso kufukizira lubani khoka lake, popeza ukonde wakewo ndiye umamubweretsera moyo wapamwamba ndipo amadya chakudya chabwino kwambiri.
17 ¿ There-fore will he empty net his and continually to kill nations not will he spare?
Kodi iye azipitirabe kugwiritsa ntchito makoka akewo, kuwononga mitundu ya anthu mopanda chifundo?
