< Habakkuk 1 >

1 The message that Habakkuk the prophet received,
Saƙon da annabi Habakkuk ya karɓa.
2 “Yahweh, how long will I cry for help, and you will not hear? I cry out to you, 'Violence!' but you will not save.
Har yaushe, ya Ubangiji, zan yi kukan neman taimako, amma ka ƙi ji? Ina kuka a gare ka saboda zalunci amma ba ka ce ufam ba.
3 Why do you make me see iniquity and look upon wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and contention rises up.
Me ya sa ka bari ina ta kallon rashin gaskiya? Me ya sa kake barin abin da ba daidai ba? Hallaka da tashin hankali suna a gabana; ga rashin jituwa da faɗa ko’ina.
4 Therefore the law is weakened, and justice does not last for any time. For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore false justice goes out.”
Saboda haka ba a bin doka, shari’a kuma ba ta aiki. Mugaye sun kewaye masu adalci don a hana gaskiya tă yi aiki.
5 “Look at the nations and examine them; be amazed and astonished! For I am surely about to do something in your days that you will not believe when it is reported to you.
“Ka dubi al’ummai, ka gani, ka sha mamaki. Ga shi zan yi wani abu a kwanakinka, wanda ko ma an faɗa maka ba za ka gaskata ba.
6 For look! I am about to raise up the Chaldeans—that fierce and impetuous nation— they are marching throughout the breadth of the land to seize homes that were not their own.
Zan tā da Babiloniyawa, waɗannan marasa hankali da kuma marasa tausayi; masu gajeren haƙuri, waɗanda suke ratsa ko’ina a duniya don su ƙwace wuraren zaman da ba nasu ba.
7 They are terrifying and fearsome; their judgment and splendor proceed from themselves.
Suna da bantsoro da firgitarwa; dokoki da ƙa’idodinsu ne kawai suka sani.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, quicker than the evening wolves. So their horses stamp, and their horsemen come from a great distance—they fly like an eagle hurrying to eat.
Dawakansu sun fi damisoshi sauri, sun fi kyarketan yamma zafin rai. Mahayansu suna zuwa a guje; mahayansu daga nesa suka fito. Suna firiya kamar ungulu mai sauka da gaggawa don yă ci mushe;
9 They all come for violence; their multitudes go like the desert wind, and they gather captives like sand.
duk sukan zo da nufin tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye. Ana jin tsoronsu tun ma kafin su iso suna tattara bayi kamar yashi.
10 So they mock kings, and rulers are only a mockery for them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they heap up earth and take them.
Sukan yi wa sarakuna ba’a su kuma rena masu mulki. Sukan yi wa dukan birane masu mafaka dariya; sukan tara ƙasa su hau, su cinye abokan gābansu da yaƙi.
11 Then the wind will rush on; it will move past—guilty men, those whose might is their god.”
Sa’an nan su wuce da sauri kamar iska, mutane ne masu laifi, waɗanda ƙarfinsu shi ne allahnsu.”
12 “Are you not from ancient times, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh has ordained them for judgment, and you, Rock, have established them for correction.
Ya Ubangiji, ba tun fil azal kake ba? Ya Allahna, Mai Tsarkina, ba za mu mutu ba. Ya Ubangiji ka sanya su su tabbatar da hukunci; Ya Dutse, ka naɗa su don su yi hukunci.
13 Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil, and you are not able to look on wrongdoing with favor; why then have you looked favorably on those who betray? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than they are?
Idanunka masu tsarki ne da suka fi gaban duban mugunta; ba ka amince da abin da ke ba daidai ba. To, don me ka ƙyale munafukai suna cin karensu ba babbaka? Me ya sa kake shiru sa’ad da mugaye suke haɗiye adalai da suka fi su adalci?
14 You make men like fish in the sea, like creeping things without a ruler over them.
Ka mai da maza kamar kifin teku, kamar halittun tekun da ba su da shugaba.
15 He brings all of them up with a fishhook; he drags men away in his fishnet; he gathers them together in his dragnet; so he rejoices and he is glad.
Mugu abokin gāba yakan kama su duka da ƙugiya, yă jawo su waje da abin kamun kifinsa, yă tattara su cikin ragarsa, ta haka yakan yi murna da farin ciki.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, for by his net he lives in luxury, and his food is the richest kind.
Saboda haka yakan yi hadaya wa abin kamun kifinsa yă kuma ƙona turare wa ragarsa, domin ta wurin abin kamun kifinsa ne yake yin rayuwar jin daɗi yă kuma zaɓi irin abincin da yake so.
17 Will he therefore keep emptying his net, and will he continually slaughter the nations without mercy?”
Zai ci gaba da juye abin kamun kifinsu ke nan, suna hallaka al’ummai ba tausayi?
