Habakkuk 3
1 Yahweh, I have heard about you; I revere you because of [all the amazing] things that you have done. In our time, do again [some of] those things that you did long ago! Even when you are angry [with us], be merciful [to us]!
Kadhannaa Anbaaqoom raajichaa shigiyonootiidhaan.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani oduu kee dhagaʼeera; yaa Waaqayyo, ani gochawwan kee nan sodaadha. Bara keenya keessa isaan haaromsi; jabana keenya keessa isaan beekkamsiisi; yeroo dheekamtutti araara yaadadhu.
3 [In the vision, I saw] God, the Holy One, coming from the Teman [district in Edom]; [and I also saw] him coming from the Paran Hills [in the Sinai area]. His glory filled the sky, and the earth was full of [people who were] praising him.
Waaqni Teemaan irraa, Inni Qulqullichi Tulluu Phaaraaniitii dhufe. Ulfinni isaa samiiwwan haguuge; galanni isaas lafa guute.
4 His glory was like [SIM] a sunrise; rays flashed from his hands where he hides his power.
Miidhaginni isaa akkuma baʼiisa aduu ti; gaanfawwan lama harka isaatii baʼu; humni isaas achi dhokateera.
5 He sent plagues in front of him, and [other] plagues came behind him.
Fuula isaa dura dhaʼichatu deeme; golfaanis isa duukaa buʼe.
6 When he stopped, the earth shook. When he looked at the nations, [all the people] trembled. The hills and mountains that have existed for a very long time [HYP] collapsed and crumbled. Yahweh is the one who exists eternally/forever!
Inni dhaabatee lafa raase; ilaalee akka saboonni hollatan godhe. Tulluuwwan durii ni burkutaaʼan; gaarran bara hedduu jiraatanis ni diigaman. Karaan isaa kan bara baraa ti.
7 [In the vision] I saw the [people who live in] tents in the Cushan [region] being afflicted, and the people in the Midian [region] trembling.
Ani utuu dunkaanonni Itoophiyaa dhiphatanuu nan arge; golgaawwan Midiyaaniis ni hollatu.
8 Yahweh, was it because you were angry with the rivers and streams that you were angry with them? Did the seas cause you to be furious, with the result that you rode through them with horses that were pulling chariots that enabled you to defeat them?
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati lageenitti aartee turtee? Burqaawwanittis dheekkamtee? Ati yeroo fardeen keetiin guluftetti, yeroo gaariiwwan moʼannaa kee yaabbatetti galaanatti dheekkamtee turtee?
9 [It was as though] you uncovered your bow, took arrows from your quiver, [and prepared to shoot them]. [Then with lightning] you split open the earth, and streams burst forth.
Ati iddaa kee luqqifattee xiyya itti dhaabbatte. Lafas lageeniin gargar baqaqsite;
10 [It is as though] the mountains saw you [doing that], and they trembled. Floods rushed by; [it was as though] the deep ocean roared and caused its waves to rise up high.
tulluuwwan si arganii hollattan. Dhaʼaawwan bishaanii achiin darban; tuujubni ni huurse; dambalii isaas ol kaase.
11 The sun and moon stopped moving in the sky while your [lightning] flashed [past like] a swift arrow, and your glittering spear flashed.
Sababii xiyya kee calaqqisaa fiigu sanaatii fi sababii ifa eeboo keetii sanaatiif aduu fi jiʼi samii keessa dhaabatanii hafan.
12 Being very angry [DOU], you walked across the earth and trampled the [armies of many] nations.
Ati dheekkamsaan lafa irra marmaarte; aariidhaanis saboota lafatti dhidhiitte.
13 But you [also] went to rescue us, your people, and to save the [king] (Or, [people]) whom you had chosen [MTY]. You struck down the leader [MTY] of those wicked people and stripped off his clothes, from his head to his feet.
Ati saba kee furuuf, dibamaa kee oolchuuf dhufte. Hoogganaa biyya hamootaa ni daakte; mataadhaa hamma miillaatti qullaa isa hambifte.
14 With his own spear you destroyed the leader of those soldiers who rushed like [SIM] a whirlwind to [attack and] scatter us, thinking that they could conquer us [Israelis] easily.
Yeroo loltoonni isaa nu bittinneessuuf kaʼanii, akkuma waan rakkattoota dhokatanii jiran fixuu gaʼaniitti gammadanitti, ati eeboo ofii isaatiin mataa isaa waraante.
15 You walked through the sea with your horses [to destroy our enemies], and caused the waves to surge.
Ati fardeen keetiin bishaanota gurguddaa hoomacheessaa galaana irra deemte.
16 When I saw that vision, my heart pounded and my lips quivered [because I became afraid]. My legs became weak and I shook, [because I was terrified]. But I will wait quietly for the people [of Babylonia], those who invaded our country, to experience disasters!
Ani dhagaʼeen garaan koo raafame; hidhiin koo sagalee sanaan hollate; tortorri lafee koo seene; miilli koos ni hollate. Taʼus ani hamma guyyaan badiisaa saboota nu weeraranitti dhufutti obsaan nan eeggadha.
17 [Therefore, ] even if there are no blossoms on the fig trees, and there are no grapes on the grapevines, and even if there are no olives growing on the olive trees, and there are no crops in the fields, and even if the flocks [of sheep and goats] die in the fields, and there are no cattle in the stalls/barns,
Yoo mukni harbuu daraaruu baatee iji wayinii muka wayinii irra jiraachuu baate iyyuu, yoo mukni ejersaa ija naqachuu didee lafti qotiisaa midhaan dhowwate iyyuu, yoo hoolonni gola keessaa, loonis dallaa keessaa dhabaman iyyuu,
18 I will rejoice because [I know] Yahweh. I will be joyful because Yahweh my God is the one who saves me!
ani garuu Waaqayyotti nan gammada; Waaqa isa na fayyisutti nan gammada.
19 Yahweh the Lord is the one who causes me to be strong; he enables me to climb [(safely/without falling)] in the [rocky] mountains, like [SIM] a deer does. (This message is for the choir director: [When this prayer is sung, it is to be accompanied by people playing] stringed instruments.)
Waaqayyo Gooftaan jabina koo ti; inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; lafa ol kaʼaa irras na deemsisa.
