< ハバクク書 3 >
A prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet for the ignorances.
2 ヱホバよ我なんぢの宣ふ所を聞て懼る ヱホバよこの諸の年の中間に汝の運動を活齑かせたまへ 此諸の年の間に之を顯現したまへ 怒る時にも憐憫を忘れ給はざれ
O Lord, I haue heard thy voyce, and was afraide: O Lord, reuiue thy worke in the mids of the people, in the mids of the yeeres make it knowen: in wrath remember mercy.
3 神テマンより來り聖者パラン山より臨みたまふ (セラ) 其榮光諸天を蔽ひ其讃美世界に徧ねし
God commeth from Teman, and the holy one from mount Paran, (Selah) His glory couereth the heauens, and the earth is full of his prayse,
4 その朗耀は日のごとく光線その手より出づ 彼處はその權能の隱るる所なり
And his brightnes was as the light: he had hornes comming out of his hands, and there was the hiding of his power.
Before him went the pestilence, and burning coales went forth before his feete.
6 彼立て地を震はせ觀まはして萬國を戰慄しめたまふ 永久の山は崩れ常磐の岡は陷る 彼の行ひたまふ道は永久なり
He stoode and measured the earth: he behelde and dissolued the nations and the euerlasting mountaines were broken, and the ancient hilles did bowe: his wayes are euerlasting.
7 我觀るにクシヤンの天幕は艱難に罹りミデアンの地の幃幕は震ふ
For his iniquitie I sawe the tentes of Cushan, and the curtaines of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 ヱホバよ汝は馬を驅り汝の拯救の車に乗りたまふ 是河にむかひて怒りたまふなるか 河にむかひて汝の忿怒を發したまふなるか 海にむかひて汝の憤恨を洩し給ふなるか
Was the Lord angry against the riuers? or was thine anger against the floods? or was thy wrath against the sea, that thou diddest ride vpon thine horses? thy charets brought saluation.
9 汝の弓は全く嚢を出で杖は言をもて言かためらる (セラ) 汝は地を裂て河となし給ふ
Thy bowe was manifestly reueiled, and the othes of the tribes were a sure worde, (Selah) thou diddest cleaue the earth with riuers.
10 山々汝を見て震ひ洪水溢れわたり淵聲を出してその手を高く擧ぐ
The mountaines sawe thee, and they trembled: the streame of the water passed by: the deepe made a noyse, and lift vp his hand on hie.
11 汝の奔る矢の光のため汝の鎗の電光のごとき閃燦のために日月その住處に立とどまる
The sunne and moone stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrowes they went, and at the bright shining of thy speares.
12 汝は憤ほりて地を行めぐり 怒りて國民を踏つけ給ふ
Thou trodest downe the land in anger, and didest thresh the heathen in displeasure.
13 汝は汝の民を救んとて出きたり 汝の膏沃げる者を救はんとて臨みたまふ 汝は惡き者の家の頭を碎きその石礎を露はして頸におよぼし給へり (セラ)
Thou wentest foorth for the saluation of thy people, euen for saluation with thine Anointed: thou hast wounded the head of the house of the wicked, and discoueredst the foundations vnto the necke, (Selah)
14 汝は彼の鎗をもてその將帥の首を刺とほし給ふ 彼らは我を散さんとて大風のごとくに進みきたる 彼らは貧き者を密に呑ほろぼす事をもてその樂とす
Thou didest strike thorowe with his owne staues the heades of his villages: they came out as a whirle winde to scatter me: their reioycing was as to deuoure the poore secretly.
15 汝は汝の馬をもて海を乗とほり大水の逆卷ところを渉りたまふ
Thou didest walke in the sea with thine horses vpon the heape of great waters.
16 我聞て膓を斷つ 我唇その聲によりて震ふ 腐朽わが骨に入り我下體わななく 其は我患難の日の來るを待ばなり 其時には即ち此民に攻寄る者ありて之に押逼らん
When I heard, my bellie trembled: my lippes shooke at the voyce: rottennesse entred into my bones, and I trembled in my selfe, that I might rest in the day of trouble: for whe he commeth vp vnto the people, he shall destroy them.
17 その時には無花果の樹は花咲ず葡萄の樹には果ならず 橄欖の樹の產は空くなり 田圃は食糧を出さず圏には羊絶え小屋には牛なかるべし
For the figtree shall not flourish, neither shall fruite be in the vines: the labour of the oliue shall faile, and the fieldes shall yeelde no meate: the sheepe shalbe cut off from the folde, and there shalbe no bullocke in the stalles.
18 然ながら我はヱホバによりて樂み わが拯救の神によりて喜ばん
But I will reioyce in the Lord: I will ioy in the God of my saluation.
19 主ヱホバは我力にして我足を鹿の如くならしめ 我をして我高き處を歩ましめ給ふ 伶長これを我琴にあはすべし
The Lord God is my strength: hee will make my feete like hindes feete, and he will make me to walke vpon mine hie places. To the chiefe singer on Neginothai.
