Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen:
先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
2 Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear? I cry unto Thee — 'Violence,' and Thou dost not save.
他說：耶和華啊！我呼求你， 你不應允，要到幾時呢？ 我因強暴哀求你，你還不拯救。
3 Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, And perversity dost cause to behold? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, And there is strife, and contention doth lift [itself] up,
你為何使我看見罪孽？ 你為何看着奸惡而不理呢？ 毀滅和強暴在我面前， 又起了爭端和相鬥的事。
4 Therefore doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
因此律法放鬆， 公理也不顯明； 惡人圍困義人， 所以公理顯然顛倒。
5 Look ye on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, Ye do not believe though it is declared.
耶和華說：你們要向列國中觀看， 大大驚奇； 因為在你們的時候，我行一件事， 雖有人告訴你們，你們總是不信。
6 For, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy tabernacles not its own.
我必興起迦勒底人， 就是那殘忍暴躁之民，通行遍地， 佔據那不屬自己的住處。
7 Terrible and fearful it [is], From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth.
他威武可畏， 判斷和勢力都任意發出。
8 Swifter than leopards have been its horses, And sharper than evening wolves, And increased have its horsemen, Even its horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hasting to consume.
他的馬比豹更快， 比晚上的豺狼更猛。 馬兵踴躍爭先， 都從遠方而來； 他們飛跑如鷹抓食，
9 Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity.
都為行強暴而來， 定住臉面向前， 將擄掠的人聚集，多如塵沙。
10 And at kings it doth scoff, And princes [are] a laughter to it, At every fenced place it doth laugh, And it heapeth up dust, and captureth it.
他們譏誚君王，笑話首領， 嗤笑一切保障，築壘攻取。
11 Then passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress, And doth ascribe this his power to his god.
他以自己的勢力為神， 像風猛然掃過，顯為有罪。
12 Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And, O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it.
耶和華－我的上帝，我的聖者啊， 你不是從亙古而有嗎？ 我們必不致死。 耶和華啊，你派定他為要刑罰人； 磐石啊，你設立他為要懲治人。
13 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he,
你眼目清潔， 不看邪僻，不看奸惡； 行詭詐的，你為何看着不理呢？ 惡人吞滅比自己公義的， 你為何靜默不語呢？
14 And Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing — none ruling over him.
你為何使人如海中的魚， 又如沒有管轄的爬物呢？
15 Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice.
他用鉤鉤住，用網捕獲， 用拉網聚集他們； 因此，他歡喜快樂，
16 Therefore he doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make perfume to his drag, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
就向網獻祭，向網燒香， 因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。
17 Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay nations spare not?
他豈可屢次倒空網羅， 將列國的人時常殺戮，毫不顧惜呢？
