ハバクク書 3
1 シギヨノテに合せて歌へる預言者ハバククの祈禱
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to the 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
I have heard, Lord, of your fame, I have seen, Lord, your work; through the years you have make yourself known, in wrath you 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 comes from Teman, and the Holy One from the mountain-land of Paran. (Selah) His glory covers the heavens, and his splendour fills the earth.
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
Before him it is like the light, rays he has at his side, where his power is hidden.
5 疫病その前に先だち行き熱病その足下より出づ
Before him pestilence stalks, after him plague follows.
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 stands, and the earth trembles, he looks, and the nations melt away, and the mountains of old are scattered, the everlasting hills bow down. These are his ways from of old.
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
The tents of Cushan are afraid, the curtains of Midian 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
Is your wrath, Lord, with the rivers? Is your anger against the streams? Or your rage against the sea? Is that why you ride on your war-steeds? Why you mount your chariots of victory?
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
Why you bare your bow? Why you fill your quiver with shafts? You split the earth with torrents.
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 see you and writhe. The tempest of waters sweeps by. The great deep sends forth its voice, and lifts up its hands.
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 forgets to rise. The moon stands still in its place. Your arrows go forth to give light. Your glittering spear is as lightning.
12 汝は憤ほりて地を行めぐり 怒りて國民を踏つけ給ふ
In rage you stride over the earth. In wrath you trample the nations.
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 go forth to save your people. You go to help your anointed. You crush the head of the wicked nation, laying him bare from thigh to 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 pierced his head with his spears, as his champions storm out to scatter us, as they rejoice 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 tread the sea with your horses, while the mighty waters roar.
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
I hear, and my body trembles, and at the sound my lips quiver. My bones begin to decay, and my footsteps totter beneath me, while I long for the day of distress to come upon those who attack us.
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
Though the fig tree bears no fruit, and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive harvest fails, and the fields produce no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there is 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 exult in the Lord, and rejoice in the God who saves me.
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; he makes my feet as sure as the feet of deer, and causes me to walk on the heights! To the music director: Use stringed instruments.
