Habakuk 3
1 Nke a bụ ekpere Habakuk onye amụma kpere. Ọ dị nʼusoro Shiginot. Nke a bụ ihe o kwuru.
A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES.
2 Onyenwe anyị anụla m ihe niile e kwuru banyere ude gị. Ịdị ukwuu nke ọrụ gị niile na-emekwa ka m dere duu nʼegwu nʼihu gị, Onyenwe anyị. Mekwaa ya ọzọ nʼoge nke anyị, mekwaa ka anụ akụkọ ya nʼọgbọ anyị. Nʼoke iwe gị chetakwa ebere.
O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
3 Chineke si na Teman bịa, Onye Nsọ ahụ sikwa nʼugwu Paran. (Sela) Ebube ya na-ekpuchi eluigwe, otuto ya jupụtakwara nʼụwa.
God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
4 Ịma mma ya na-achapụta dịka ihe anyanwụ ụtụtụ, ihe na-enwupụta site nʼaka ya, ọ bụkwa nʼebe ahụ ka e zoro ike ya.
His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid:
5 Nʼihu ya ka ajọ ọrịa na-efe efe na-aga, oke mbibi na-esokwa ya nʼazụ.
Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet.
6 O guzoro ọtọ yọgharịa ụwa; o lere anya, mee ka mba niile maa jijiji. Ugwu ukwu ochie ahụ niile dara, ugwu nta ochie ndị ahụ dakwara. Nʼihi na ụzọ ya ga-adịgide ruo mgbe niile ebighị ebi.
He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity.
7 Ahụrụ m ụlọ ikwu nke Kushan ka ha nọ ọnọdụ ụbọchị ọjọọ, na ebe obibi ndị Midia ka ha nọ na oke ahụ ụfụ.
I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
8 Ọ bụ osimiri, ka gị bụ Onyenwe anyị were iwe megide? Ọnụma gị, ọ dị ukwuu megide iyi niile? Oke iwe gị ọ bụ megide oke osimiri mgbe ị nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya gị, nakwa nʼelu ụgbọ ịnyịnya ị wetara ndị nke gị mmeri?
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation.
9 I kpughepụrụ ụta gị, kpọọ oku ka a chịtara gị ọtụtụ àkụ. (Sela) I ji osimiri dị iche iche kewaa ụwa.
Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth.
10 Mgbe ugwu niile hụrụ gị ha nyagharịrị onwe ha nʼihi ihe mgbu bịakwasịrị ha. Oke mmiri ozuzo gabigakwara. Ogbu mmiri mere ka olu ya daa ụda, buliekwa ebili mmiri elu.
The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands.
11 Anyanwụ na ọnwa guzokwara duu na mbara eluigwe, mgbe ha hụrụ ihe nke àkụ gị, mgbe ha hụrụ amụma nke ùbe gị gburu.
The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
12 I sitere nʼọnụma gị zọgharịa ije nʼụwa, sitekwa nʼiwe gị zọchaa mba dị iche iche dịka ọka.
In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
13 Ị pụtara ịzọpụta ndị gị, ịzọpụta onye ahụ i tere mmanụ. Ị zọpịara isi onyendu nke ala ajọ omume ahụ, gbawa ya ọtọ site nʼisi ruo nʼụkwụ.
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
14 Ọ bụ ùbe ya ka i ji mawaa ya isi, mgbe ndị dike nʼagha ya bịara dịka oke ifufe ịchụsa anyị, mgbe ha si nʼobi ụtọ ha chee na ha na-aga iripịa ndị ogbenye e wedara nʼala, bụ ndị na-ezo onwe ha.
Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
15 Ị chịrịla ịnyịnya gị zọọ ije nʼoke osimiri, kpagharịa mmiri ukwu ndị ahụ.
Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters.
16 Amara m jijiji nʼobi m mgbe m nụrụ ihe ndị a niile, egbugbere ọnụ m abụọ kụkọtara nʼegwu, ọkpụkpụ dị m nʼahụ malitere ire ure, mee ka ụkwụ m maa jijiji. Ma aga m eji ndidi chere ụbọchị ọjọọ ahụ nke ga-abịakwasị ndị ahụ na-abịa ibuso anyị agha.
I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded.
17 A sịkwarị na osisi fiig amaghị ifuru, na ọ dịghị mkpụrụ dị nʼosisi vaịnị, a sịkwa na mkpụrụ osisi oliv ebilata na ala ubi niile emepụtaghị ihe oriri, a sịkwa na ọ dịghị atụrụ dị nʼọgba anụ, na ọ dịkwaghị ehi nọ nʼụlọ anụmanụ,
For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls.
18 mụ onwe m ga-anọgide na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼime Onyenwe anyị. Aga m etegharịkwa egwu ọṅụ nʼime Chineke Onye nzọpụta m.
But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus.
19 Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ ike m, ọ na-eme ụkwụ m abụọ ka ha dịka nke ele. Ọ na-emekwa ka m zọọ ije nʼebe niile dị elu.
The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms.
