< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
هَذِهِ صَلاةُ النَّبِيِّ حَبَقُّوقَ:١
2 O LORD, I have heard thy speech, [and] was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
يَا رَبُّ قَدْ بَلَغَنِي مَا فَعَلْتَ فَخِفْتُ يَا رَبُّ، عَمَلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ السِّنِينَ أَحْيِهِ، وَعَرِّفْ بِهِ عَلَى مَرِّ الأَيَّامِ، وَاذْكُرِ الرَّحْمَةَ فِي الْغَضَبِ.٢
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.
قَدْ أَقْبَلَ اللهُ مِنْ أَدُومَ، وَجَاءَ الْقُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ. غَمَرَ جَلالُهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَامْتَلأَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ.٣
4 And [his] brightness was as the light; he had horns [coming] out of his hand; and there [was] the hiding of his power.
إِنَّ بَهَاءَهُ كَالنُّورِ، وَمِنْ يَدِهِ يُوْمِضُ شُعَاعٌ، وَهُنَاكَ يَحْجُبُ قُوَّتَهُ.٤
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
يَتَقَدَّمُهُ وَبَاءٌ، وَالْمَوْتُ يَقْتَفِي خُطَاهُ.٥
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways [are] everlasting.
وَقَفَ وَزَلْزَلَ الأَرْضَ، تَفَرَّسَ فَأَرْعَبَ الأُمَمَ، انْدَكَّتِ الْجِبَالُ الأَبَدِيَّةُ وَانْهَارَتِ التِّلالُ الْقَدِيمَةُ، أَمَّا مَسَالِكُهُ فَهِيَ مِنَ الأَزَلِ.٦
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: [and] the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.
لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ خِيَامَ كُوشَانَ تَنُوءُ تَحْتَ الْبَلِيَّةِ وَمَسَاكِنَ مِدْيَانَ تَرْجُفُ رُعْباً.٧
8 Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? [was] thy anger against the rivers? [was] thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thy horses, [and] thy chariots of salvation?
هَلْ غَضَبُكَ مُنْصَبٌّ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ يَا رَبُّ؟ أَعَلَى الأَنْهَارِ احْتَدَمَ سَخَطُكَ؟ أَمْ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ سَكَبْتَ جَامَ غَيْظِكَ، عِنْدَمَا رَكِبْتَ خُيُولَكَ وَمَرْكَبَاتِ ظَفَرِكَ؟٨
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, [according] to the oaths of the tribes, [even thy] word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
جَرَّدْتَ قَوْسَكَ وَتَأَهَّبْتَ لإِطْلاقِ سِهَامِكَ الْكَثِيرَةِ، وَشَقَقْتَ الأَرْضَ أَنْهَاراً.٩
10 The mountains saw thee, [and] they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, [and] lifted up his hands on high.
رَأَتْكَ الْجِبَالُ فَارْتَعَدَتْ، وَطَمَتِ الْمِيَاهُ الْهَائِجَةُ. زَأَرَتِ اللُّجَجُ وَارْتَفَعَتْ أَمْوَاجُهَا عَالِيَةً.١٠
11 The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thy arrows they went, [and] at the shining of thy glittering spear.
الْقَمَرُ وَالشَّمْسُ تَوَقَّفَا فِي مَنَازِلِهِمَا أَمَامَ وَمِيضِ سِهَامِكَ الْمُنْدَفِعَةِ وَبَرِيقِ رُمْحِكَ الْمُتَلأْلِئِ.١١
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
تَطَأُ الأَرْضَ بَسَخَطٍ، وَبِغَضَبٍ تَدُوسُ الأُمَمَ.١٢
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, [even] for salvation with thy anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by uncovering the foundation to the neck. (Selah)
خَرَجْتَ لِخَلاصِ شَعْبِكَ، لِخَلاصِ مُخْتَارِكَ. هَشَّمْتَ رُؤُوسَ زُعَمَاءِ الْبِلادِ الأَشْرَارِ وَتَرَكْتَهُمْ مَطْرُوحِينَ عُرَاةً مِنَ الْعُنُقِ حَتَّى أَخْمَصِ الْقَدَمِ.١٣
14 Thou didst strike through with his staffs the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing [was] as to devour the poor secretly.
طَعَنْتَ بِرِمَاحِهِ قَائِدَ جَيْشِهِمِ الْمُنْدَفِعِ كَإِعْصَارٍ لِيُشَتِّتَنَا بِابْتِهَاجِ مَنْ يَفْتَرِسُ الْمِسْكِينَ سِرّاً١٤
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses, [through] the mire of great waters.
خُضْتَ الْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ فِي وَسَطِ مِيَاهِهِ الْهَائِجَةِ.١٥
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up to the people, he will invade them with his troops.
سَمِعْتُ هَذَا فَتَوَلَّانِي الْفَزَعُ وَارْتَجَفَتْ شَفَتَايَ مِنَ الصَّوْتِ، وَتَسَرَّبَ النَّخْرُ إِلَى عِظَامِي، وَارْتَعَشَتْ قَدَمَايَ. وَلَكِنْ سَأَنْتَظِرُ بِصَبْرٍ يَوْمَ الْبَلِيَّةِ الَّذِي يَحِيقُ بِالأُمَّةِ الَّتِي غَزَتْنَا.١٦
17 Although the fig-tree shall not blossom, neither [shall] fruit [be] in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and [there shall be] no herd in the stalls:
فَمَعْ أَنَّهُ لَا يُزْهِرُ التِّينُ وَلا يَكُونُ حَمْلٌ فِي الْكُرُومِ يَكْذِبُ عَمَلُ الزَّيْتُونَةِ وَالْحُقُولُ لا تَصْنَعُ طَعَاماً يَنْقَطِعُ الْغَنَمُ مِنَ الْحَظِيرَةِ وَلا بَقَرَ فِي الْمَذَاوِدِ١٧
18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِالرَّبِ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلَهِ خَلاصِي.١٨
19 The Lord GOD [is] my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' [feet], and he will make me to walk upon my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
الرَّبُّ الإِلَهُ هُوَ قُوَّتِي؛ يَجْعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَقَدَمَيْ غَزَالٍ، وَيُعِينُنِي عَلَى ارْتِقَاءِ الْمُرْتَفَعَاتِ. إِلَى قَائِدِ الْجَوْقَةِ: تُغَنَّى عَلَى ذَوَاتِ الأَوْتَارِ.١٩
