Habakuku 1
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri nditũ ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire mũnabii Habakuku.
The oracle which he saw Habakkuk the prophet.
2 Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩ nginya rĩ ngũtũũra ngũkayagĩra ũndeithie, no wee ũkaaga kũnjigua? Githĩ ndigũkayagĩra ngiugaga, “Haaro! Haaro!” no wee ũkaaga kũhonokania?
Until when? O Yahweh have I cried for help and not you will hear I cry out to you violence and not you save.
3 Ũtũmaga ndĩrorere wagi wa kĩhooto nĩkĩ? Ũkiragĩrĩria maũndũ mooru nĩkĩ? Mwanangĩko na haaro irĩ mbere yakwa; kũrĩ na njũgitano, nayo mbaara nĩ nyingĩ.
Why? do you make see me wickedness and mischief do you look at? and devastation and violence [are] to before me and it has been strife and contention it arises.
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, watho nĩmwagithie hinya, na kĩhooto gĩtihootanaga. Andũ arĩa aaganu marigiicaga arĩa athingu, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩhooto gĩkoogomio.
There-fore it grows numb [the] law and not it comes forth to perpetuity justice for [the] wicked [is] surrounding the righteous [person] there-fore it comes forth justice perverted.
5 “Atĩrĩrĩ, ta rorai ndũrĩrĩ na mwĩrorere ũhoro wacio, na mũmake biũ. Nĩgũkorwo matukũ-inĩ maku nĩngwĩka ũndũ ũrĩa ũtangĩĩtĩkia o na ũngĩĩrwo.
See among the nations and look and be astounded be astonished for a deed [I am] about to do in days your [which] not you will believe if it will be recounted.
6 Nĩngwarahũra andũ a Babuloni, andũ a haaro, na matarĩ tha, arĩa matuĩkanagia thĩ yothe, na makegwatĩra ciikaro itarĩ ciao.
For here I [am] about to raise up the Chaldeans the nation bitter and impetuous which goes to [the] expanses of [the] earth to take possession of dwellings [which] not [belong] to it.
7 Nĩ andũ a kũmakania, na a gwĩtigĩrwo; nĩo meyathaga, na magetũũgĩria.
[is] terrifying And awesome it from itself justice its and dignity its it comes forth.
8 Mbarathi ciao irĩ ihenya gũkĩra ngarĩ, na nĩ ooru mũno gũkĩra njũũi iria icangacangaga kĩhwaĩ-inĩ. Thigari ciao iria ithiiaga ihaicĩte mbarathi itengʼeraga ta ciũmbũkĩte; ahaici acio a mbarathi moimaga kũndũ kũraya. Mombũkaga ta nderi ĩgĩcuuhũkĩra gĩa kũrĩa;
And they are swift more than leopards horses its and they are keen more than wolves of [the] evening and they paw [the] ground warhorses its and horsemen its from a distance they come they fly like an eagle making haste to devour.
9 othe mokaga mehaarĩirie kũruta haaro. Thigari icio ciao nyingĩ mũno ithiiaga ihaatĩte ta rũhuho rwa werũ-inĩ, igathiĩ itahĩte andũ aingĩ mũno ta mũthanga.
All of it for violence it comes [the] totality of faces their [is] east-ward and it gathered like sand captive[s].
10 Manyararaga athamaki, na makanyũrũria andũ arĩa maathanaga. Mathekagĩrĩra matũũra mothe manene marĩa mairigĩre; maakaga ihumbu cia tĩĩri, magatunyana matũũra macio.
And it kings it derides and rulers [are] laughter to it it at every fortress it laughs and it heaped up earth and it captured it.
11 Ningĩ mahĩtũkagĩra kuo na ihenya o ta rũhuho mathiĩte na mbere: andũ maagararaga watho, magatuĩka ehia, magatua atĩ hinya wao nĩguo ngai yao.”
Then it swept on a wind and it passed on and he is guilty [the one] who strength his [becomes] god his.
12 Wee Jehova-rĩ, githĩ ndũtũũraga kuuma tene o na tene? O Wee Ngai wakwa, ũrĩa wakwa mũtheru, tondũ ũcio tũtigakua. Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe ũthuurĩte andũ a Babuloni mahingie ituĩro rĩaku; wee Rwaro rwa Ihiga-rĩ, ũkamaamũra matũherithie.
¿ Not [are] you from antiquity O Yahweh God my holy [one] my not we will die O Yahweh to judgment you have appointed it and O rock to reprove you have established it.
13 Maitho maku nĩ matheru mũno, matingĩĩrorera ũmaramari; wee-rĩ, ndũngĩkirĩrĩria maũndũ mooru. Ũgĩkiragĩrĩria andũ arĩa oingumania nĩkĩ? Ũkiraga nĩkĩ rĩrĩa andũ arĩa aaganu mekũmeria andũ arĩa athingu kũmakĩra?
[you are too] pure of Eyes for seeing evil and to look to mischief not you are able why? do you look at treacherous [people] are you silent? when swallows up a wicked [person] a [person] righteous more than him.
14 Ũtuĩte andũ ta thamaki cia iria, ũkamatua ta ciũmbe cia iria-inĩ, iria itarĩ mũciathi.
And you have made humankind like [the] fish of the sea like creeping thing[s] [which] not a ruler [is] over it.
15 Thũ ĩyo njaganu ĩmaguucagia othe na ndwano, ĩkamagwatia na wabu wayo, ĩkamacookereria thĩinĩ wa mũtego wayo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩgakena na ĩgacanjamũka.
All of it with a fish hook he brings up he drags away it in net his and he gathers it in fishing net his there-fore he rejoices and he may be glad.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ĩrutagĩra wabu wayo igongona, na ĩgacinĩra mũtego wayo ũbumba, nĩgũkorwo wabu wayo nĩguo ũtũmaga ĩtũũre ĩĩkenagia, na ĩkarĩĩaga irio iria njega mũno.
There-fore he sacrifices to net his so he may make smoke to fishing net his for by them [is] fat portion his and food his [is] fat.
17 Ĩĩgũtũũra ĩtahaga na wabu wayo, ĩkaniinaga ndũrĩrĩ ingĩ ĩtegũciguĩra tha?
¿ There-fore will he empty net his and continually to kill nations not will he spare?
