Habakkuk 1
1 Saƙon da annabi Habakkuk ya karɓa.
This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision:
2 Har yaushe, ya Ubangiji, zan yi kukan neman taimako, amma ka ƙi ji? Ina kuka a gare ka saboda zalunci amma ba ka ce ufam ba.
How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?
3 Me ya sa ka bari ina ta kallon rashin gaskiya? Me ya sa kake barin abin da ba daidai ba? Hallaka da tashin hankali suna a gabana; ga rashin jituwa da faɗa ko’ina.
Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds.
4 Saboda haka ba a bin doka, shari’a kuma ba ta aiki. Mugaye sun kewaye masu adalci don a hana gaskiya tă yi aiki.
Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
5 “Ka dubi al’ummai, ka gani, ka sha mamaki. Ga shi zan yi wani abu a kwanakinka, wanda ko ma an faɗa maka ba za ka gaskata ba.
“Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.
6 Zan tā da Babiloniyawa, waɗannan marasa hankali da kuma marasa tausayi; masu gajeren haƙuri, waɗanda suke ratsa ko’ina a duniya don su ƙwace wuraren zaman da ba nasu ba.
For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans — that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.
7 Suna da bantsoro da firgitarwa; dokoki da ƙa’idodinsu ne kawai suka sani.
They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.
8 Dawakansu sun fi damisoshi sauri, sun fi kyarketan yamma zafin rai. Mahayansu suna zuwa a guje; mahayansu daga nesa suka fito. Suna firiya kamar ungulu mai sauka da gaggawa don yă ci mushe;
Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.
9 duk sukan zo da nufin tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye. Ana jin tsoronsu tun ma kafin su iso suna tattara bayi kamar yashi.
All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
10 Sukan yi wa sarakuna ba’a su kuma rena masu mulki. Sukan yi wa dukan birane masu mafaka dariya; sukan tara ƙasa su hau, su cinye abokan gābansu da yaƙi.
They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.
11 Sa’an nan su wuce da sauri kamar iska, mutane ne masu laifi, waɗanda ƙarfinsu shi ne allahnsu.”
Then they sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”
12 Ya Ubangiji, ba tun fil azal kake ba? Ya Allahna, Mai Tsarkina, ba za mu mutu ba. Ya Ubangiji ka sanya su su tabbatar da hukunci; Ya Dutse, ka naɗa su don su yi hukunci.
Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction.
13 Idanunka masu tsarki ne da suka fi gaban duban mugunta; ba ka amince da abin da ke ba daidai ba. To, don me ka ƙyale munafukai suna cin karensu ba babbaka? Me ya sa kake shiru sa’ad da mugaye suke haɗiye adalai da suka fi su adalci?
Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate the faithless? Why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
14 Ka mai da maza kamar kifin teku, kamar halittun tekun da ba su da shugaba.
You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.
15 Mugu abokin gāba yakan kama su duka da ƙugiya, yă jawo su waje da abin kamun kifinsa, yă tattara su cikin ragarsa, ta haka yakan yi murna da farin ciki.
The foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices gladly.
16 Saboda haka yakan yi hadaya wa abin kamun kifinsa yă kuma ƙona turare wa ragarsa, domin ta wurin abin kamun kifinsa ne yake yin rayuwar jin daɗi yă kuma zaɓi irin abincin da yake so.
Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is sumptuous and his food is rich.
17 Zai ci gaba da juye abin kamun kifinsu ke nan, suna hallaka al’ummai ba tausayi?
Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?
