< Habakkuk 3 >
1 The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet:
Rĩrĩ nĩ ihooya rĩa mũnabii Habakuku, rĩa kũinwo ta rwĩmbo.
2 Yahweh, I have heard your report, and I am afraid. Yahweh, revive your work in the midst of these times; in the midst of these times make it known; remember to have compassion in your wrath.
Atĩrĩrĩ Jehova, nĩnjiguĩte ũhoro wa ngumo yaku, nganyiitwo nĩ guoya nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciaku. Rurumũkia ciĩko ciaku matukũ-inĩ maya maitũ, ũtũme imenyeke matukũ-inĩ maitũ; o na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũrĩ mũrakaru, iguanagĩra tha.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Ngai ookire oimĩte Temani, ũcio Mũtheru agĩũka oimĩte Kĩrĩma kĩa Parani. Riiri wake ũkĩhumbĩra igũrũ, naguo ũgooci wake ũkĩiyũra thĩ.
4 With brightness like the light, two-pronged rays flash from his hand; and there he hid his power.
Ũkengi wake wahaanaga ta riũa rĩkĩratha; mĩrũri yahenũkaga kuuma guoko-inĩ gwake, naho hau nĩho hinya wake wahithĩtwo.
5 Deadly disease went before him, and the plague followed him.
Mũthiro nĩguo wamũtongoragia; mũrimũ wa mũthiro ũkamuuma thuutha.
6 He stood and measured the earth; he looked and shook the nations. Even the eternal mountains were shattered, and the everlasting hills bowed down. His path is everlasting.
Aarũgamire, agĩthingithia thĩ; agĩcũthĩrĩria agĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ ciinaine. Irĩma cia tene ikĩmumuthũka, natuo tũrĩma twa tene tũkĩmomoka. Mĩthiĩre yake-rĩ, nĩ ya tene na tene.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction, and the fabric of the tents in the land of Midian trembling.
Nĩndonire andũ arĩa matũũraga hema cia Kushani marĩ na mĩnyamaro, nao arĩa matũũraga Midiani maiyũrĩtwo nĩ ruo rũnene.
8 Was Yahweh angry at the rivers? Was your wrath against the rivers, or your fury against the sea, when you rode upon your horses and your victorious chariots?
Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ njũũĩ warakarĩire? Mangʼũrĩ maku-rĩ, nĩ tũrũũĩ mokĩrĩire? Wee-rĩ, wokĩrĩire iria na mangʼũrĩ maku rĩrĩa wahaicĩte mbarathi ciaku na ngaari ciaku cia ũhootani cia ita?
9 You have brought out your bow without a cover; you put arrows to your bow! (Selah) You divided the earth with rivers.
Nĩwarutire ũta waku, ũkĩwoya na igũrũ, na ũgĩĩtia mĩguĩ mĩingĩ. Nayo thĩ ũkĩmĩgayania na njũũĩ;
10 The mountains saw you and twisted in pain. Downpours of water passed over them; the deep sea raised a shout. It lifted up its waves.
irĩma ciakuonire ikĩĩnyogonda. Kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ nakĩo gĩgĩtherera; maaĩ ma kũrĩa kũriku makĩhũũyũka, na makĩambararia makũmbĩ mamo na igũrũ taarĩ moko.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their high places at the flash of your arrows as they fly, at the lightning of your flashing spear.
Riũa na mweri nĩciarũgamire o ro ũguo kũu igũrũ, ciona ũtheri wa mĩguĩ yaku ĩkĩrathũka, na ciona kũhenia gwa itimũ rĩaku rĩkĩmenũka.
12 You have marched over the earth with indignation. In wrath you have threshed the nations.
Watuĩkanĩirie thĩ na mangʼũrĩ, na ũkĩhũũra ndũrĩrĩ ũrĩ na marakara.
13 You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed one. You shatter the head of the house of the wicked to lay bare from the base up to the neck. (Selah)
Wokire kũhonokia andũ aku, na ũhonokie ũrĩa waku mũitĩrĩrie maguta. Wahehenjire kĩongo kĩa nyũmba ya waganu, ũkĩmĩtharia nginya itina-inĩ ciayo.
14 You have pierced the head of his warriors with his own arrows since they came like a storm to scatter us, their gloating was like one who devours the poor in a hiding place.
Wamũtheecire mũtwe na itimũ rĩake mwene, rĩrĩa njamba ciake cia ita ciatũtharĩkĩire itũharaganie; cigakenagĩrĩra ta igũtambuura athĩĩni arĩa mehithĩte.
15 You have traveled over the sea with your horses, and heaped up the great waters.
Wee wakinyire iria igũrũ na mbarathi ciaku, ũgĩthuka maaĩ macio maingĩ, magĩtuĩka makũmbĩ manene.
16 I heard, and my inner parts trembled! My lips quivered at the sound. Decay comes into my bones, and under myself I tremble as I wait quietly for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.
Ndaiguire ũhoro ũcio, ngoro yakwa ĩgĩtumatuuma, nacio iromo ciakwa ikĩinaina nĩ mũgambo ũcio; mahĩndĩ makwa makĩonja, namo magũrũ makwa makĩinaina. No niĩ nĩngweterera ngirĩrĩirie, nginya mũthenya ũrĩa wa kũnyariirĩka ũgaakinya, ũkore rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũtũtharĩkagĩra.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there is no produce from the vines; and though the produce of the olive tree disappoints and the fields yield no food; and though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls, this is what I will do.
Atĩrĩrĩ, o na mũkũyũ ũngĩaga kũruta kĩro, nayo mĩthabibũ yaage thabibũ, o naguo mũtamaiyũ wage maciaro, nayo mĩgũnda yaage irio; o na kũngĩaga ngʼondu gĩcegũ na kwage ngʼombe ciugũ-inĩ-rĩ,
18 Still, I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful because of the God of my salvation.
niĩ no ndĩrĩkenagĩra Jehova, njanjamũkage nĩ ũndũ wa Ngai Mũhonokia wakwa.
19 The Lord Yahweh is my strength and he makes my feet like the deer's. He makes me go forward on my high places. —To the music director, on my stringed instruments.
Mwathani Jehova nĩwe hinya wakwa, atũmaga magũrũ makwa magĩe ihenya ta magũrũ ma thwariga, nake aahotithagia kũhaica kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru. Kũrĩ mũtongoria wa nyĩmbo. Rwĩmbo rũrũ nĩ rwa kũinwo na inanda cia mũgeeto.
