Habakkuk 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Ti waragawag a naawat ni Habakkuk a profeta:
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!
“O Yahweh, kasano kabayag ti panagas-asugko, ket saanmo a denggen? Nagkiddawak kenka nga addaan panagbuteng, 'Kinaranggas!' ngem saannak nga isalakan!
3 Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance? for devastation and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise strife and contention.
Apay nga ipapakkitam kaniak ti kinadakes ken saan nga umno nga aramid? Ti pannakadadael ken kinaranggas ket adda iti sangoanak; adda panagraranget ken rumsua ti panagaapa!
4 Therefore the law is slackened, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth encompass the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Ngarud, nakapsuten ti linteg, ket saanen nga agbayag ti hustisia iti aniaman a tiempo. Ta pinalawlawan dagiti nadangkes dagiti nalinteg; isu a rimsua ti saan a pudno a hustisia.” Simmungbat ni Yahweh kenni Habakkuk.
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe though it be told [you].
Kitaem dagiti nasion ket sukimatem ida; maklaat ken masdaawka! Gapu ta sigurado nga umadanin nga aramidek kadagiti aldawmo a saanmonto a patien inton maipadamag kenka daytoy.
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 dwelling-places [that are] not theirs.
Ta kitaem! umadanin a patakderek dagiti Caldeo—dayta naulpit ken naranggas a nasion—agmarmartsada iti entero a daga tapno agtagikua kadagiti balay a saanda a kukua.
7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed from themselves.
Nakaam-amak ken nakabutbutengda; ti panangukom ken ti kinatan-okda ket agtaud kadakuada!
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.
Naparpardas dagiti kabalioda ngem dagiti leopardo, naparpartak ngem kadagiti lobo iti rabii! Isu a bumaddek dagiti kabalioda, ken aggapu iti nakaad-adayo dagiti kumakabalioda a lallaki—tumayabda a kasla maysa nga agila a magagaran a mangan!
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Umayda amin para iti kinaranggas, ti kinaaduda nga umay ket kasla angin iti disierto, ket urnongenda dagiti balud a kasla darat!
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Isu a lalaisenda dagiti ari, ket rabrabak laeng kadakuada dagiti mangiturturay! Katkatawaanda ti tunggal sarikedked, ta paggabsuonenda ti daga ket alaenda dagitoy!
11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power to his god.
Ket lumabas a dagus ti angin; lumabas daytoy—managbasol a lallaki, a ti diosda ket ti kinamaingelda!” Nagdamag ni Habakkuk kenni Yahweh iti maysa pay a saludsod.
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.
“Saanka kadi a naggapu iti un-unana a tiempo, O Yahweh a Diosko, a kasasantoan? Saankaminto a matay. Sika O Yahweh ti nangdutok kadakuada para iti panangukom ken sika, a dakkel unay a Bato, ti nangisaad kadakuada para iti panangpalinteg!
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?
Nadalus unay dagiti matam tapno kumita iti dakes, ken saanmo a kabaelan ti kumita iti dakes nga aramid nga addaan pabor; apay ngarud a pabpaburam dagiti mangliliput? Apay a naulimekka kabayatan nga al-alun-onen dagiti nadangkes dagiti nalinlinteg ngem kadakuada?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping animals [that have] no ruler over them?
Pinagbalinmo a kasla ikan iti baybay dagiti tattao, kas kadagiti agkarkarayam a banbanag nga awan ti mangiturturay kadakuada.
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Iyaonda amin ida babaen iti banniit; iguyodda dagiti tattao kadagiti iket ket urnongenda ida iti iket a pagur-urnonganda. Daytoy ti makagapu no apay nga agragragsakda ken agpukpukkawda a sirarag-o!
16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, and their food plenteous.
Isu nga agidatonda iti iket a pagkalkalapda ken agpuorda pay ti insenso iti iket a pagur-urnonganda, ta dagiti napalukmeg a narungsot nga ayup ti bingayda ken ti nalukmeg a karne ti taraonda!
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Ikkatenda kadi ti nagian ti iketda ket ituloyda a papatayen nga awanan asi dagiti nasion?”
