Habakkuk 1
1 The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Breme koje vidje prorok Avakum.
2 Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?
Dokle æu, Gospode, vapiti a ti neæeš da èuješ? dokle æu ti vikati: nasilje! a ti neæeš da izbaviš?
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
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 paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.
Zato se ostavlja zakon, i sud ne izlazi nigda, jer bezbožnik optjeèe pravednika, zato sud izlazi izopaèen.
5 “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe though it is 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, behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation who march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places 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 feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
Žestok je i strašan, sud njegov i vlast njegova od njega izlazi.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.
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 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand.
Svi æe doæi na grabež, s lica æe biti kao istoèni vjetar, pokupiæe roblje kao pijesak.
10 Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp 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 they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.”
Tada æe mu se promijeniti duh, proæi æe i skriviæe; ta æe mu (sila) njegova biti od boga njegova.
12 Aren’t you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed them for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.
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 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who 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 make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things that have no ruler over them?
I hoæeš li ostaviti ljude kao ribe morske, kao bubine, koje nemaju gospodara?
15 He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
Izvlaèi ih sve udicom, hvata ih u mrežu svoju, i zgræe ih preðom svojom, zato se veseli i raduje.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious and his food is good.
Zato prinosi žrtvu svojoj mreži, i kadi svojoj preði; jer je tijem dio njegov pretio i hrana mu izabrana.
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?
Hoæe li zato izvlaèiti mrežu svoju i jednako ubijati narode nemilice?
