< ハバクク書 3 >
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet on Shigionoth.
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 have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the middle of the years, in the middle of the years make known; 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 came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
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 brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
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 stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
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
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains 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 displeased against the rivers? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea, that you did ride on your horses and your chariots of salvation?
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
Your bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even your word. (Selah) You did split the earth with rivers.
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 mountains saw you, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
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 sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of your arrows they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear.
12 汝は憤ほりて地を行めぐり 怒りて國民を踏つけ給ふ
You did march through the land in indignation, you did thresh the heathen in anger.
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)
You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation to the neck. (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
You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor 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
You did walk through the sea with your horses, through the heap 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 belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up to the people, he will invade them with his troops.
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
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
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
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
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, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
