Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen:
Ti waragawag a naawat ni Habakkuk a profeta:
2 Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear? I cry unto Thee — 'Violence,' and Thou dost 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 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,
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 doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Terrible and fearful it [is], From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth.
Nakaam-amak ken nakabutbutengda; ti panangukom ken ti kinatan-okda ket agtaud kadakuada!
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.
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 Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity.
Umayda amin para iti kinaranggas, ti kinaaduda nga umay ket kasla angin iti disierto, ket urnongenda dagiti balud a kasla darat!
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.
Isu a lalaisenda dagiti ari, ket rabrabak laeng kadakuada dagiti mangiturturay! Katkatawaanda ti tunggal sarikedked, ta paggabsuonenda ti daga ket alaenda dagitoy!
11 Then passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress, And doth ascribe 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 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.
“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 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,
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 Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing — none ruling over him.
Pinagbalinmo a kasla ikan iti baybay dagiti tattao, kas kadagiti agkarkarayam a banbanag nga awan ti mangiturturay kadakuada.
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.
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 he doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make perfume to his drag, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
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 Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay nations spare not?
Ikkatenda kadi ti nagian ti iketda ket ituloyda a papatayen nga awanan asi dagiti nasion?”
