Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen:
預言者ハバククが示を蒙りし預言の重負
2 Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear? I cry unto Thee — 'Violence,' and Thou dost not save.
ヱホバよ我呼はるに汝の民に聽たまはざること何時までぞや 我なんぢにむかひて強暴を訴ふれども汝は助けたまはざるなり
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,
汝なにとて我に害惡を見せたまふや 何とて艱難を瞻望居たまふや 奪掠および強暴わが前に行はる且爭論あり鬪諍おこる
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.
是によりて律法弛み公義正しく行はれず惡き者義しき者を圍むが故に公義曲りて行はる
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.
汝ら國々の民の中を望み觀駭け 汝らの日に我一の事を爲ん 之を告る者あるとも汝ら信ぜざらん
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.
視よ我カルデヤカ人を興さんとす 是すなはち猛くまた荒き國民にして地を縦横に行めぐり 己の有ならざる住處を奪ふ者なり
7 Terrible and fearful it [is], From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth.
是は懼るべく又驚くべし 其是非威光は己より出づ
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.
その馬は豹よりも迅く夜求食する豺狼よりも疾し 其騎兵は跑まはる 即ちその騎兵は遠き處より來る 其飛ことは物を食はんと急ぐ鷲のごとし
9 Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity.
是は全く強暴のために來り 其面を前にむけて頻に進むその俘虜を寄集むることは砂のごとし
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.
是は王等を侮り君等を笑ひ諸の城々を笑ひ土を積あげてこれを取ん
11 Then passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress, And doth ascribe this his power to his god.
斯て風のごとくに行めぐり進みわたりて罪を獲ん 是は己の力を神とす
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.
ヱホバわが神わが聖者よ 汝は永遠より在すに非ずや 我らは死なじ ヱホバよ汝は是を審判のために設けたまへり 磐よ汝は是を懲戒のために立たまへり
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,
汝は目清くして肯て惡を觀給はざる者 肯て不義を視たまはざる者なるに何ゆゑ邪曲の者を觀すて置たまふや 惡き者を己にまさりて義しき者を呑噬ふに何ゆゑ汝黙し居たまふや
14 And Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing — none ruling over him.
汝は人をして海の魚のごとくならしめ君あらぬ昆蟲のごとくならしめたまふ
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.
彼鈎をもて之を盡く釣あげ網をもて之を寄せ集め引網をもて之を捕ふるなり 是に因て彼歡び樂しむ
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.
是故に彼その網に犠牲を獻げその引網に香を焚く 其は之がためにその分肥まさりその食饒になりたればなり
17 Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay nations spare not?
然ど彼はその網を傾けつつなほたえず國々の人を惜みなく殺すことをするならんか
