Habakkuk 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Breme koje vidje prorok Avakum.
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out to thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Dokle æu, Gospode, vapiti a ti neæeš da èuješ? dokle æu ti vikati: nasilje! a ti neæeš da izbaviš?
3 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for plundering and violence are before me: and there are that raise strife and contention.
Zašto puštaš da vidim bezakonje, i da gledam muku i grabež i nasilje pred sobom, i kako podižu svaðu i raspru?
4 Therefore the law is feeble, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth surround the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth perverted
Zato se ostavlja zakon, i sud ne izlazi nigda, jer bezbožnik optjeèe pravednika, zato sud izlazi izopaèen.
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
Pogledajte po narodima i vidite, i èudite se i divite se, jer æu uèiniti djelo u vaše dane kojega neæete vjerovati kad se stane pripovijedati.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
Jer, evo, ja æu podignuti Haldejce, narod ljut i nagao, koji æe iæi po zemlji širom da osvoji naselja koja nijesu njegova.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
Žestok je i strašan, sud njegov i vlast njegova od njega izlazi.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
Konji æe mu biti brži od risova i ljuæi od vukova uveèe, veliko æe mnoštvo biti konjika njegovijeh, i iduæi izdaleka konjici njegovi doletjeæe kao orao kad hiti na lov.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captives as the sand.
Svi æe doæi na grabež, s lica æe biti kao istoèni vjetar, pokupiæe roblje kao pijesak.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall laugh at every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
I carevima æe se rugati i knezovi æe im biti potsmijeh, smijaæe se svakom gradu, nasuæe zemlje, i uzeæe ga.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to his god.
Tada æe mu se promijeniti duh, proæi æe i skriviæe; ta æe mu (sila) njegova biti od boga njegova.
12 Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Nijesi li ti od vijeka, Gospode Bože moj, sveèe moj? neæemo umrijeti; ti si ga, Gospode, odredio za sud; i utvrdio si ga, stijeno, za karanje.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: why lookest thou on them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
Èiste su oèi tvoje da ne možeš gledati zla, i bezakonja ne možeš gledati; zašto gledaš bezakonike? muèiš, kad bezbožnik proždire pravijega od sebe?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
I hoæeš li ostaviti ljude kao ribe morske, kao bubine, koje nemaju gospodara?
15 They take up all of them with the hook, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Izvlaèi ih sve udicom, hvata ih u mrežu svoju, i zgræe ih preðom svojom, zato se veseli i raduje.
16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.
Zato prinosi žrtvu svojoj mreži, i kadi svojoj preði; jer je tijem dio njegov pretio i hrana mu izabrana.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Hoæe li zato izvlaèiti mrežu svoju i jednako ubijati narode nemilice?
