Habakkuk 1
1 Saƙon da annabi Habakkuk ya karɓa.
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
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.
Jehovah, how long shall I cry and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee, Violence! and thou dost 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 dost thou cause me to see iniquity, and lookest thou upon grievance? For spoiling and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention riseth up.
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 powerless, and justice doth never go forth; for the wicked encompasseth the righteous; therefore judgment goeth forth 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.
See ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for [I] work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be declared [to 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 raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, which marcheth through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
7 Suna da bantsoro da firgitarwa; dokoki da ƙa’idodinsu ne kawai suka sani.
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
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;
And their horses are swifter than the leopards, and are more agile than the evening wolves; and their horsemen prance proudly, and their horsemen come from afar: they fly as an eagle that hasteth 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.
They come all of them for violence: the crowd of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the 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.
Yea, he scoffeth at kings, and princes are a scorn unto him; he derideth every stronghold: for he heapeth up dust, and taketh it.
11 Sa’an nan su wuce da sauri kamar iska, mutane ne masu laifi, waɗanda ƙarfinsu shi ne allahnsu.”
Then will his mind change, and he will pass on, and become guilty: this his power is become his 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.
— Art thou not from everlasting, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. Jehovah, thou hast ordained him for judgment; and thou, O Rock, hast appointed him 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?
[Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on mischief: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] keepest silence when the wicked swalloweth up a [man] more righteous than he?
14 Ka mai da maza kamar kifin teku, kamar halittun tekun da ba su da shugaba.
And thou makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them.
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.
He taketh up all of them with the hook, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them into his drag; therefore he rejoiceth and is glad:
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 sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; for by them his portion is become fat, and his meat dainty.
17 Zai ci gaba da juye abin kamun kifinsu ke nan, suna hallaka al’ummai ba tausayi?
Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
