Habakkuk 3
1 Pre se inge ma lal Habakkuk, mwet palu:
Yahweh, I have heard about you; I revere you because of [all the amazing] things that you have done. In our time, do again [some of] those things that you did long ago! Even when you are angry [with us], be merciful [to us]!
2 O LEUM GOD, nga lohng tari ke pungom, Ac nga arulana fwefela ke orekma lom. Sifilpa oru in pacl lasr uh Orekma usrnguk ma kom tuh oru meet ah. Pakoten nu sesr, finne pacl kom kasrkusrak.
3 God El ac sifilpa tuku Edom me; God mutal El tuku liki eol srisrik lun Paran, Wolana lal afunla inkusrao, Ac faclu sessesla ke kaksakinyal.
[In the vision, I saw] God, the Holy One, coming from the Teman [district in Edom]; [and I also saw] him coming from the Paran Hills [in the Sinai area]. His glory filled the sky, and the earth was full of [people who were] praising him.
4 El tuku wi kalmen sarom; Kalem sarmelik liki inpaol, Yen ku lal wikla we.
His glory was like [SIM] a sunrise; rays flashed from his hands where he hides his power.
5 El supu mas upa uh in fahsr meet lukel, Ac sapkin tuh misa in fahsr tokol.
He sent plagues in front of him, and [other] plagues came behind him.
6 Ke pacl se El tui, faclu kusrusr; Ke ngetang lal, mutunfacl uh rarrar. Fineol ma nuna oan oemeet me muliplipi, Ac eol srisrik su ac oan nwe tok tili, Aok eol srisrik yen El fahsr we in pacl oemeet ah.
When he stopped, the earth shook. When he looked at the nations, [all the people] trembled. The hills and mountains that have existed for a very long time [HYP] collapsed and crumbled. Yahweh is the one who exists eternally/forever!
7 Nga liye ke mwet Cushan elos sangeng, Ac ke mwet Midian elos rarrar.
[In the vision] I saw the [people who live in] tents in the Cushan [region] being afflicted, and the people in the Midian [region] trembling.
8 LEUM GOD, ya infacl uh pa tuh oru kom kasrkusrakak ah? Ya meoa uh pa tuh oru kom foloyak ah? Kom kasrusr fin pukunyeng uh; Pukunyeng in paka uh pa chariot nutum Ke kom tuh use kutangla nu sin mwet lom.
Yahweh, was it because you were angry with the rivers and streams that you were angry with them? Did the seas cause you to be furious, with the result that you rode through them with horses that were pulling chariots that enabled you to defeat them?
9 Kom akola in orekmakin mwe pisr nutum, Akola in pisrik sukan pisr nutum. Sarom lom foklalik faclu.
[It was as though] you uncovered your bow, took arrows from your quiver, [and prepared to shoot them]. [Then with lightning] you split open the earth, and streams burst forth.
10 Pacl se ke eol uh tuh liye kom, elos rarrar; Kof uh kahkla inkusrao me. Kof ye faclu ngirngir, Ac noa kaclos pisryak nwe lucng.
[It is as though] the mountains saw you [doing that], and they trembled. Floods rushed by; [it was as though] the deep ocean roared and caused its waves to rise up high.
11 Ke usren mui lun pisr nutum Ac saromla lun osra saromrom nutum Faht uh ac malem uh tui, tia mukuikui.
The sun and moon stopped moving in the sky while your [lightning] flashed [past like] a swift arrow, and your glittering spear flashed.
12 Kom fahsr sasla fin faclu ke kasrkusrak, Kom futfutungya facl puspis ke folo lom.
Being very angry [DOU], you walked across the earth and trampled the [armies of many] nations.
13 Kom illa in molela mwet lom, In molela tokosra lom su kom sulela. Kom uniya mwet kol lun mwet koluk Ac sukela mwet lal nukewa.
But you [also] went to rescue us, your people, and to save the [king] (Or, [people]) whom you had chosen [MTY]. You struck down the leader [MTY] of those wicked people and stripped off his clothes, from his head to his feet.
14 Mwe pisr nutum fakisya ac sasla ke mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun Ke elos tuku oana sie paka in liskutelik. Elos engnu oana mwet su akkeokye mwet sukasrup in lukma.
With his own spear you destroyed the leader of those soldiers who rushed like [SIM] a whirlwind to [attack and] scatter us, thinking that they could conquer us [Israelis] easily.
15 Horse nutum uh futungya inkof uh, Oru inkof uh wiawala.
You walked through the sea with your horses [to destroy our enemies], and caused the waves to surge.
16 Nga lohng ma inge nukewa, ac nga rarrar; Ngoasrok rarak ke sangeng. Monuk ulla, Ac niuk tukulkul. Nga fah misla tupan pacl se Ke God El ac fah kalyei mwet ma mweuni kut uh.
When I saw that vision, my heart pounded and my lips quivered [because I became afraid]. My legs became weak and I shook, [because I was terrified]. But I will wait quietly for the people [of Babylonia], those who invaded our country, to experience disasters!
17 Sak fig finne wangin fahko Ac wangin grape ke oa in grape uh, Sak olive finne tia fokla Ac ima uh finne tia isus fahko, Sheep nukewa finne misa Ac kalkal in cow uh pisala,
[Therefore, ] even if there are no blossoms on the fig trees, and there are no grapes on the grapevines, and even if there are no olives growing on the olive trees, and there are no crops in the fields, and even if the flocks [of sheep and goats] die in the fields, and there are no cattle in the stalls/barns,
18 Nga fah srakna insewowo ac engan Mweyen LEUM GOD El langoeyu.
I will rejoice because [I know] Yahweh. I will be joyful because Yahweh my God is the one who saves me!
19 LEUM GOD Fulatlana El ase ku nu sik. El oru niuk in oakwuk oana soko deer, Ac karinginyu fineol uh.
Yahweh the Lord is the one who causes me to be strong; he enables me to climb [(safely/without falling)] in the [rocky] mountains, like [SIM] a deer does. (This message is for the choir director: [When this prayer is sung, it is to be accompanied by people playing] stringed instruments.)
