< Habakkuk 1 >

1 The birthun that Abacuk, the profete, sai.
先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
2 Hou longe, Lord, schal Y crye, and thou schalt not here? Y suffrynge violence schal crie an hiy to thee, and thou schalt not saue?
他说:耶和华啊!我呼求你, 你不应允,要到几时呢? 我因强暴哀求你,你还不拯救。
3 Whi schewidist thou to me wickidnesse and trauel, for to se prey and vnriytwisnesse ayens me? Whi biholdist thou dispiseris, and art stille, the while an vnpitouse man defoulith a riytfulere than hym silf? And thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as crepynge thingis not hauynge a ledere; and doom is maad, and ayenseiyng is more miyti.
你为何使我看见罪孽? 你为何看着奸恶而不理呢? 毁灭和强暴在我面前, 又起了争端和相斗的事。
4 For this thing lawe is `to-brokun, and doom cometh not til to the ende; for the vnpitouse man hath miyt ayens the iust, therfor weiward doom schal go out.
因此律法放松, 公理也不显明; 恶人围困义人, 所以公理显然颠倒。
5 Biholde ye in hethene men, and se ye, and wondre ye, and greetli drede ye; for a werk is doon in youre daies, which no man schal bileue, whanne it schal be teld.
耶和华说:你们要向列国中观看, 大大惊奇; 因为在你们的时候,我行一件事, 虽有人告诉你们,你们总是不信。
6 For lo! Y schal reise Caldeis, a bittir folk and swift, goynge on the breede of erthe, that he welde tabernaclis not hise.
我必兴起迦勒底人, 就是那残忍暴躁之民,通行遍地, 占据那不属自己的住处。
7 It is orible, and dredeful; the dom and birthun therof schal go out of it silf.
他威武可畏, 判断和势力都任意发出。
8 His horsis ben liytere than pardis, and swifter than euentyd woluys, and hise horse men schulen be scaterid abrood; for whi `horse men schulen come fro fer, thei schulen fle as an egle hastynge to ete.
他的马比豹更快, 比晚上的豺狼更猛。 马兵踊跃争先, 都从远方而来; 他们飞跑如鹰抓食,
9 Alle men schulen come to preye, the faces of hem is as a brennynge wynd; and he schal gadere as grauel caitifte,
都为行强暴而来, 定住脸面向前, 将掳掠的人聚集,多如尘沙。
10 and he schal haue victorie of kyngis, and tirauntis schulen be of his scornyng. He schal leiye on al strengthe, and schal bere togidere heep of erthe, and schal take it.
他们讥诮君王,笑话首领, 嗤笑一切保障,筑垒攻取。
11 Thanne the spirit schal be chaungid, and he schal passe forth, and falle doun; this is the strengthe of hym, of his god.
他以自己的势力为神, 像风猛然扫过,显为有罪。
12 Whether `thou, Lord, art not my God, myn hooli, and we schulen not die? Lord, in to doom thou hast set hym, and thou groundidist hym strong, that thou schuldist chastise.
耶和华—我的 神,我的圣者啊, 你不是从亘古而有吗? 我们必不致死。 耶和华啊,你派定他为要刑罚人; 磐石啊,你设立他为要惩治人。
13 Thin iyen ben clene, se thou not yuel, and thou schalt not mowe biholde to wickidnesse. Whi biholdist thou not on men doynge wickidli, and thou art stille, while the vnpitouse man deuourith a more iust man than hymsilf?
你眼目清洁, 不看邪僻,不看奸恶; 行诡诈的,你为何看着不理呢? 恶人吞灭比自己公义的, 你为何静默不语呢?
14 And thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as a crepynge thing not hauynge prince.
你为何使人如海中的鱼, 又如没有管辖的爬物呢?
15 He schal lifte vp al in the hook; he drawide it in his greet net, and gaderide in to his net; on this thing he schal be glad, and make ioie with outforth.
他用钩钩住,用网捕获, 用拉网聚集他们; 因此,他欢喜快乐,
16 Therfore he schal offere to his greet net, and schal make sacrifice to his net; for in hem his part is maad fat, and his mete is chosun.
就向网献祭,向网烧香, 因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。
17 Therfor for this thing he spredith abrood his greet net, and euere more he ceesith not for to sle folkis.
他岂可屡次倒空网罗, 将列国的人时常杀戮,毫不顾惜呢?
