Abakouk 1
1 Men mesaj Bondye te bay pwofèt Abakouk nan yon vizyon.
[the] oracle which to see Habakkuk [the] prophet
2 Seyè! Konbe tan ankò pou m' pase ap rele ou, ap mande ou sekou anvan pou ou tande m'? Konbe tan ankò pou m' pase ap rele nan zòrèy ou anvan pou ou vin delivre nou anba moun k'ap maltrete nou yo?
till where? LORD to cry and not to hear: hear to cry out to(wards) you violence and not to save
3 Poukisa w'ap fè m' wè tout mechanste sa yo? Ki jan ou ka rete kanpe konsa ap gade tout lenjistis sa yo? Se piyay ak mechanste ase ki devan je m'! Toupatou se goumen, se kont.
to/for what? to see: see me evil: wickedness and trouble to look and violence and violence to/for before me and to be strife and strife to lift: raise
4 Lalwa a la, li pa sèvi anyen. Ou pa ka jwenn jistis. Mechan yo ap kraze moun k'ap mache dwat. Lajistis devan dèyè.
upon so be numb instruction and not to come out: come to/for perpetuity justice for wicked to surround [obj] [the] righteous upon so to come out: come justice to twist
5 Seyè a pale ak pèp li a, li di: -Voye je nou gade nasyon ki bò kote nou yo. Nou pral sezi, nou pral tranble. Mwen pral fè yon travay devan je nou. Si se moun ki ta vin di nou sa, nou pa ta kwè.
to see: see in/on/with nation and to look and to astounded to astounded for work to work in/on/with day your not be faithful for to recount
6 M'ap fè moun peyi Kalde yo kanpe. Se yon pèp ki san pitye, ki san manman. Y'ap mache toupatou sou latè, y'ap pran peyi lòt pèp nan men yo.
for look! I to arise: raise [obj] [the] Chaldea [the] nation [the] bitter and [the] to hasten [the] to go: walk to/for broad land: country/planet to/for to possess: take tabernacle not to/for him
7 Kote yo pase, yo fè moun pè yo. Yo pa nan jwèt ak pesonn. Yo pa pran lòd nan men pesonn. Yo fè sa yo pi pito.
terrible and to fear he/she/it from him justice his and elevation his to come out: come
8 Chwal yo kouri pi rèd pase chat mawon. Yo pi move pase chen mawon ki grangou. Kavalye yo soti byen lwen, y'ap kouri vini. Yo tankou malfini k'ap plonje sou poul.
and to lighten from leopard horse his and be sharp from wolf evening and to leap horseman his and horseman his from distant to come (in): come to fly like/as eagle to hasten to/for to eat
9 Sòlda yo ap vini pou fè piyay. Tout moun pè lè yo wè yo ap pwoche, paske yo ranmase prizonye an kantite, san gad dèyè.
all his to/for violence to come (in): come horde face their east [to] and to gather like/as sand captivity
10 Y'ap pase wa yo nan betiz. Y'ap pase chèf yo nan rizib. Pa gen fò ki ka rete yo. Yo annik anpile tè bò miray yo, lèfini yo moute pran yo.
and he/she/it in/on/with king to mock and to rule laughing to/for him he/she/it to/for all fortification to laugh and to heap dust and to capture her
11 Yo pase tankou yon koutvan, yo kraze brize, epi y' al fè wout yo. Bondye yo se fòs yo gen nan ponyèt yo. Se nan sa yo kwè.
then to pass spirit: breath and to pass and be guilty this strength his to/for god his
12 Seyè! Depi tout tan se ou ki Bondye. Ou se Bondye m', Bondye tout bon ki la pou tout tan an. Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'! Se pèp sa a ou chwazi pou fè travay ou? Se pèp sa a ou voye pou pini nou?
not you(m. s.) from front: old LORD God my holy my not to die LORD to/for justice: judgement to set: appoint him and rock to/for to rebuke to found him
13 Ou twò bon pou ou kite moun ap fè mechanste devan je ou konsa! Ou pa ka rete ap gade moun ap fè lenjistis devan ou konsa! Ki jan ou fè rete ap gade bann moun trèt sa yo? Poukisa ou pa di anyen lè mechan yo ap fini ak moun ki pi inonsan pase yo?
pureness eye from to see: see bad: evil and to look to(wards) trouble not be able to/for what? to look to act treacherously be quiet in/on/with to swallow up wicked righteous from him
14 Kouman ou ka aji ak moun tankou si yo te pwason nan lanmè, tankou koulèv nan raje ki pa gen mèt?
and to make man like/as fish [the] sea like/as creeping not to rule in/on/with him
15 Moun Babilòn yo pran moun nan zen tankou pwason. Yo rale yo nan senn, yo ranmase yo nan nas. Lèfini, yo kontan, y'ap fè fèt.
all his in/on/with hook to ascend: establish to drag/chew/saw him in/on/with net his and to gather him in/on/with net his upon so to rejoice and to rejoice
16 Se sak fè tou, yo fè ofrann bèt yo touye pou senn yo, yo boule lansan pou nas yo, paske se nan senn yo ak nan nas yo yo jwenn tout kalite bon pwason pou yo manje.
upon so to sacrifice to/for net his and to offer: offer to/for net his for in/on/with them rich portion his and food his fat
17 Eske yo pral toujou sèvi ak nepe yo san rete, pou yo touye moun lòt nasyon san yo pa gen pitye pou yo?
upon so to empty net his and continually to/for to kill nation not to spare
